‘The Boys’ Season 3 Premiere: Fans React To Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy

The first three episodes of The Boys season 3 dropped last night (June 2), and fans of the series had quite a reaction to Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy. An obvious parody of Captain America, Soldier Boy is a beloved, supposedly humble American hero who killed dozens of German soldiers in World War II, then refused the honor of his own national holiday, insisting the date should be used to honor all superheroes instead.  Check out the (very NSFW) video introducing him, below.

See what fans had to say about the original “supe” below:

• Epitome of Toxic Masculinity

  His lip twitch, his suppressed rage just because a woman dared to say no to him, this is just an exquisite performance, an epitome of toxic masculinity #SoldierBoy #JensenAckles #TheBoys #TheBoysTV pic.twitter.com/xetxrf9Wri

• MVP of Season 3

  Now that embargo is up, Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy is the MVP of Season 3. He's outstanding in this, the best I have ever seen him act. Even more unhinged and crass than this shows you. Wait till you all see him in action. #TheBoys https://t.co/mbRDHtm78p

  I can't seem to move on from his superb, so polished performance in this scene, how he's using every single muscle in his face to show his toxicity

• Not Zero

  you know. the possibility of jensen ackles’ soldier boy having a sex scene with a man who looks suspiciously like misha collins on the boys is low. but not zero.

• Dying!

  #SoldierBoy is worse than #Homelander, and I'm loving EVERY SECOND of it.
  
  There seems to be a false perception from people that Jensen stans don't want to see him bad? Please, I've been dying to see him as a villain. With his acting ability? DYING!🗣️

• Nuance Master

  More detailed review of Season 3 of @TheBoysTV coming soon, but let's just say that @JensenAckles is so damn good at nuance that your complicated mess of feelings will leave your head spinning. I'm not sure that wasn't literal in fact. #SoldierBoy #TheBoysTV #TheBoysPremiere

• Charming Until

  #SoldierBoy is all charming until someone mentions no one likes him. @JensenAckles played that so well, subtlety to wanting to go off but knows he can’t. Can’t wait for more of soldier boy @TheBoysTV #TheBoys pic.twitter.com/hZOkrlFvDy

• Extra Muscles

  I maintain that Jensen has like 47 extra facial muscles to express so much without a word. #JensenAckles

• That's Our Boy

  The fact that all the reviews about S3 are praising our boy Ackles... I'm SO PROUD of him. We've seen his talent for so many years and now the world is appreciating it and I just feel like a proud mom. Like THAT'S OUR VERY TALENTED BOY 🥹🥹#JensenAckles #TheBoysTV #SPNFamily
