The series The Boys presented this Friday a brand new lovable character that has melted the hearts of fans in L’episode 4 of season 3. But its origin is much darker.
Please note this article contains spoilers for season 3, especially its fourth episode. We therefore recommend that you be up to date!
The Boys : new season, new character
Season 3 episode 4 of The Boys has nothing to envy to the other episodes of this super-heroic series. Prime Video shows us that superheroes are also for adults, with characters always dirtier both physically and morally. Since the start of the season, our heroes have been looking for a way to defeat The protectora weapon that would have allowed the Russians to get rid of Soldier Boy.
Whereas Hughie, Butcher, Kimiko, Frenchie and Cream travel to a secure lab in Russia to get more information, they come across something unexpected. A large tank with inside a cute little character: a hamster identified as Jamie on the label of his cage. The creature is revealed to actually be endowed with superpowers, including super speed and is even capable of slaughtering unscrupulous Russian when the fight is triggered.
The Boys : Jamie, poor Jamie
In the comics, this hamster also exists. But originally it belonged to Blarney Cock, a member of the superhero group Teenage Kix. The latter had named the hamster Herbie and “had fun” pushing it into his anus. When Hughie killed Blarney, he retrieved the rodent, adopted it, and renamed it Jamie. As for his powers, we will have to wait for the rest of the series (if he returns) to find out more. This isn’t the first time an animal has played a different role between the show and the comics. The Boys.
In effect, Billy Butcher normally owns a bulldog named Terror, which attacks various people and animals. Although he made an appearance in Season 2, Terror is no longer alongside Butcher on the show. Showrunner Eric Kripke attributes his absence to the difficulty of working with dogs during filming. Anyway, on social media Jamie was the real star of episode 4, stealing the show from almost everything that happened there. On Twitter, fans shouted their love for this very cute and dangerous little character.
