Eric Kripke admitted to Collider, "I live in absolute terror of becoming the thing we've been satirizing for five years. The thing about The Boys is that it's punk rock, and it hurts extra hard when punk rockers sell out." This statement reflects his concern over the potential commercialization of the show, fearing that they may lose the essence that made it unique.
Kripke continued, stating, "We do these shows because we really care about them and we're passionate about them, and they can tell fresh stories that we can't tell in The Boys and not just be about rapid expansion but be very careful and mindful about the choices we're making and being able to defend why we're making them." His dedication to quality storytelling is evident.
Discussing the show's trajectory, Kripke noted, "I just want people to say, maybe it's for them and maybe it isn't for them, but gotta hand it to them, they maintain a consistent level of quality." This highlights his desire for authenticity and quality in storytelling rather than purely focusing on expansion.
As the series progresses, Kripke acknowledged, "The problem is, The Boys kind of has jumped on the MCU train when it comes to building a comic book universe." This signifies his concern about losing the originality of The Boys amidst a wave of spin-offs.
