The Boys Season 4 Conceals Extra Hilarious Content That Could Evade Many Prime Video Users

Splinter played by Rob Benedict

As well as hosting two of the biggest superhero shows currently around, The Boys and Invincible, Prime Video has a handy little feature which shows which actors are on-screen in any given scene. While many users don’t even know this feature exists, The Boys has made ingenious use of it in their recently released fourth season. The show, based on the comic books written by Garth Ennis, features an amazing cast, including Anthony Starr, Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Karen Fukihara, Erin Moriarty, Jenson Eckles, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

The Boys makes frequent use of the “X-ray” feature in its fourth season. So far, the onscreen feature has highlighted that Homelander loves the band Smash Mouth, and includes PSA announcements from fictional brands within the show. But its best, and weirdly, most wholesome use comes in one of Season 4’s grossest scenes so far. Played by Rob Benedict, Splinter is a supe who can split their body to produce clones, acting under their will. As well as desperately trying to win over far-right supe Firecracker (Valorie Curry), Splinter uses his powers for, erm… self-pleasure. During a brief scene in a sauna, the Prime’s X-Ray feature used the moment to remind audiences that Rob Benedict is an incredibly talented actor. Reading the information almost makes the scene bearable. Just don’t go showing your parents the cool feature with this scene as the example. Pointed out by one X/Twitter user, the X-Ray read:

“Actor Rob Benedict wants us to remind everyone that he studied Shakespeare at Northwestern University. There is no contractual obligation for us to carry out this request. This is merely a kind gesture.”

The Boys Season 4 Has Divided Fans

The reception to The Boys’ fourth season is almost as if Splinter has used his powers and divided the fan base. Despite a strong critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes (95%), Season 4 holds a mixed 51% audience score. Most of the criticism is leveled at Season 4’s shift in approach towards the show’s political satire. The first three seasons took a (somewhat) subtle approach to critiquing the American political and capitalistic system.

But Season 4 has taken an overt approach, removing subtlety from the equation as Homelander (Anthony Starr) seeks to put supes at the top of the food chain and create a “pure” world for his son, Ryan (Cameron Crovetti), to inherit. Because of this, Season 4 has been deemed by many fans (49% to be exact) as the weakest season so far. It is important to note that only three episodes of Season 4 are available to the public, and opinions may change as the remaining five episodes are released.
