Homelander’s Shocking Massacre In The Boys Season 5 Episode 7 & Future Fallout Addressed By Star

by

Be warned – major spoilers follow for the latest episode of The Boys! The show has taken Homelander to a new level of terrifying in its final episodes.

Daveed Diggs, the actor who plays Oh Father on The Boys, has spoken about the shocking scene in season 5, episode 7 where Homelander commits a massacre. Diggs hinted at the significant consequences this event will have. In the episode, Oh Father conducts a focus group to test advertisements promoting Homelander as a god. When psychics reveal that only six participants genuinely believe, Homelander reluctantly orders the non-believers to be locked away and killed by Dogknott and Sheline, showing some hesitation before following through.

In a recent interview with ScreenRant, actor Antony Starr, who plays Oh Father in The Boys, discussed his character’s choices in season 5. Starr explained that while Oh Father has several opportunities to distance himself from Homelander, he ultimately remains loyal. He described Oh Father as someone who’s resourceful and ambitious, but not a killer, meaning he’s unwilling to take lives, even while still participating in Homelander’s schemes. This decision will force Oh Father to confront how much of his own morality he’s willing to sacrifice to hold onto his power.

Check out what Diggs had to say below:

Homelander is becoming increasingly obsessed with himself and is eliminating those who don’t adore him. While his father, Daughtry, usually doesn’t react, the scene where Homelander killed the focus group in episode 7 seemed to genuinely disturb him. This could signal a change in Daughtry’s perspective and a possible turning point in their relationship.

Daveed Diggs believes there were several points in the season where his character could have gone down a different path. Looking back, it’s clear he faced choices that could have led to different outcomes. Diggs notes the character is often conflicted, explaining that while he’s ambitious and resourceful, he’s fundamentally not a killer – it just doesn’t fit his personality. He’s strong, but not violent.

With all the recent attention on the Epstein files and extreme wealth, many people are starting to wonder what it truly means to be a billionaire. What compromises might someone make to accumulate that much money, and how does such wealth affect their view of other people? These are the kinds of questions explored in the story of Oh Father.

Earlier in season 5 of The Boys, Oh Father revealed he views Homelander as a kind of savior, stemming from his loss of religious faith. This belief is what keeps him loyal to Homelander, even when Homelander commits terrible acts. As Diggs observes, money often complicates morality, and it seems Oh Father is driven by financial gain as much as, if not more than, any genuine belief.

Fortunately, the other members of The Boys prevent Homelander from succeeding with his plan. Maeve and Starlight interrupt and rescue most of the focus group, taking down Deep and Supersonic while they’re at it. The survivors are taken to a safe location where they discover Marie Moreau and Jordan Li, characters from the show Gen V, are also hiding. While Oh Father didn’t stop the attack entirely, the fact that some people were saved aligns with his underlying motivations for seeking power.

Now that Homelander has commanded him to commit murder, Oh Father’s allegiance will be tested in the show’s finale. He’s increasingly losing faith in Homelander, which could be risky if the main villain detects his changing loyalty. However, based on his actions in season 5, episode 7, it appears Oh Father will likely remain by Homelander’s side for the time being, as The Boys continues its story.

As the series nears its finale with just one episode remaining, it’s unclear whether Oh Father will act against Homelander, potentially becoming a target, or stay loyal until the very end. The stage is set for either Homelander’s rise to power or his downfall, and Diggs’ character is now at a turning point, increasingly questioning the extreme ways Homelander is trying to become a god.
