Occurring in the third season finale ‘The Instant White-Hot Wild’, the moment in question finds The Boys, Homelander, and Queen Maeve, staring down Soldier Young man, who has begun to charge up his radiation powers in service of an area-wiping suicide attack.
But before he can unleash the blast, Queen Maeve tackles the Vought super-soldier out a nearby window, sacrificing her own existence – and her purpose of taking down Homelander – in order to save the others from being vaporized.

When I first decided to do this analysis, I wasn’t sure if I would find much – particularly in the first scant seasons. A rare gay jokes here and there, some silly innuendos. But the deeper I went, the more I found myself saying, “This is the gayest thing I’ve ever seen.” The title for this project, “Gay Subtext in Supernatural”, is something I pulled directly from an episode (S5E9) in which an announcer says the line “homoerotic subtext of Supernatural”.

Turns out I have a thematic which is between friends, who are brothers, with unstated homoerotic subtexts. I’m like, “Why is that my deal?” Like frankly I need some therapy time to grasp why I hold going back to that issue.

Sera Gamble, of course, has long teased Kripke that Supernatural is “The Epic Cherish Story of Sam and Dean” (x), and the dynamic has been addressed directly on the show in terms of fandom.
Because Kripke has addressed the subject of homoerotic subtext but also states it is unintentional, we think about this rumor PARTIALLY CONFIRMED. (As always, come talk to us about any other questions, com
