As a die-hard fan of The Boys, I was absolutely thrilled to see the introduction of “New Noir” in the fourth season. Nathan Mitchell‘s portrayal of this complex and violent character continues to impress me with every episode. I was also intrigued by the appearance of a Black Noir puppet during Vought’s Christmas TV special, but unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet it in person as I wasn’t on set at that time.
I’ve been a huge fan of comic books and superhero stories for as long as I can remember. I’ve watched countless movies and TV shows based on these beloved characters, always eager to see how they bring the stories to life on screen. So when I heard that Amazon was releasing a new series called “The Boys,” I was intrigued. I’d read the comic books, but I was excited to see how they would adapt it for television.
In the fourth installment of “The Boys,” a new iteration of Black Noir appeared, bearing similarities to the previously adored, exceedingly violent superhero, albeit with his torso impaled by Homelander’s fist. This revamped character, affectionately named “New Noir” by actor Nathan Mitchell, retains the ability to communicate with other characters and exhibits distinct traits. An additional version of Black Noir in puppet form was also presented during Vought’s Christmas special – a delightful throwback to the use of puppets in this intriguing universe.
TopMob stepped into The Seven’s inner circle (metaphorically speaking) for a conversation with Mitchell regarding Noir’s shocking developments in Season 4. It’s highly probable that we’ll witness more destruction at the hands of TopMob in “The Boys” last and fifth season. Regarding the puppet version, however, it remains uncertain if we can anticipate similar actions due to Ryan’s unexpected interruption during the live special with an unsanctioned message to the audience.
When I inquired about his experience of meeting the Black Noir puppet in person, Nathan Mitchell revealed:
I didn’t participate in that production since I wasn’t present at the specified time. If only I could have been there, what a fascinating experience that would have been! And speaking of bringing things to life, isn’t it intriguing how we take elements from Generation V and the puppets Sam encounters, and translate them into our real-life production? I find it quite exhilarating.
The actor was sadly disappointed not to have acted against the brilliantly made puppet representation of his character. Most TV actors never experience such intricately designed counterparts in their careers, making this a significant honor regardless of the circumstances. Let’s produce an action figure of Black Noir with interchangeable O.G. and New Noir heads, including the piano-playing version as well.
As a longtime fan of Rob Benedict and his iconic character Splinter from Supernatural, I’ve seen my fair share of fan creations and merchandise over the years. But when it comes to action figure versions of Splinter, I firmly believe we don’t need them, especially not in controversial forms like Human Centipede mode or as an all-nude brawler.
My Puppet Connection Theory And Nathan Mitchell’s Response
Those who witnessed “Gen V” likely recall Sam’s hallucination of The Deep puppet and the bizarre Episode 5 scene where Asa Germann’s character, Sam Riordan, killed several attackers while hallucinating himself and others in felt forms. It’s intriguing that Vought produced a holiday special featuring all members of The Seven as puppets, considering this was the franchise’s initial exploration of performance art in this manner. Is it merely a coincidence?
Could it be that the TV special was designed not only to welcome Homelander but also to recruit Cate Dunlap, formerly known as Sam and Maddie Phillips, into Vought’s ranks? This wasn’t merely for spreading holiday cheer, but potentially to manipulate or influence Sam through his less tangible visions? When I suggested this theory to Nathan Mitchell, he laughed it off.
Perhaps, perhaps. It’s uncertain, though. As for me, I’m not sure if some people at Vought are privy to Sam’s thoughts. However, I don’t believe their decision to air a Christmas special was intended as a direct insult towards him.
As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the intricacies of various fictional universes, I can understand where you’re coming from, fellow fan. However, it’s important to remember that actors bring their own unique perspectives and experiences to their roles. The Boys actor might not share our fascination with the wild theories we conjure up as viewers, shaped by our individual interpretations of the stories we love. It’s all part of the rich tapestry of fandom – an adventure fueled by passion and creativity.
In my realistic perspective, it’s plausible that the addition of puppets in “The Boys” Season 4 is due to showrunner Eric Kripke’s desire to collaborate with Colin Penman and his team of puppeteers from the “Gen V” spinoff. Given the youth-oriented nature of a potential Ryan special, this seems like a reasonable approach for integrating such content alongside other in-story movies and Seven-related entertainment within the series. It’s possible that ice skating shows may no longer be featured.
Despite Vought’s potential lack of ill intent, someone with awareness of Sam’s health condition ought to have intervened and halted the production of the special. After all, even if the motivation was unintentional, wouldn’t it still be uncomfortable for Sam to watch it due to its potentially distressing content?
As a dedicated fan of “The Boys,” I’m thrilled to share that we have a date for the season finale of this gripping series. Mark your calendars, fellow fans, because on Thursday, July 18, we can all gather around our screens to witness the conclusion of this epic season, exclusively on Prime Video.
