"Herogasm" is finally here and people have some thoughts about the ultra-explicit The Boys season 3 episode. Hyped as "one of the more graphic hours of mainstream television that I think anyone will have seen" by show creator Eric Kripke, The Boys season 3 episode 6 has been long-awaited. Kripke began hyping up the episode during production of the eight-episode season, announcing that the Prime Video series would be adapting one of the comics' most controversial arcs. In The Boys comics, Herogasm is an annual party held for Supes that allows them all to gather and throw a super-powered orgy under the guise of a world-ending threat.

The Boys season 3's "Herogasm" episode does things a little differently, with two members of Payback, the TNT Twins, holding the event at their home. Hughie and Butcher head to the event with Soldier Boy so he can get revenge on his former teammates, but naturally, things go very, very wrong. From Starlight following Hughie to Herogasm to Butcher and Hughie running into A-Train, The Deep, and Homelander, "Herogasm" hits some speed bumps. It also brings about the first confrontation between Soldier Boy and Homelander, all against the backdrop of the aforementioned orgy.

With the episode now out, The Boys fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts about the debaucherous episode. From Jeffrey Dean Morgan's admission that he's watching the episode three times to fans' creation of memes and general shock at the contents of the episode, the reactions run the gammut. Check some of them out below:

Reactions to The Boys' "Herogasm" episode are about what could be expected even if it was not as shocking in the way many expected it to be. Compared to the comics, "Herogasm" is relatively tame, if only because the episode instead smartly chooses to focus on the ongoing conflict between Solider Boy, Butcher, Homelander, and Payback. The massive superhero orgy simply serves as a backdrop for the events that take place in the episode, including a showstopping fight between Homelander, Hughie, Butcher, and Soldier Boy.

Of course, with "Herogasm" out of the way, The Boys season 3 is barreling towards its finale and a major confrontation is brewing. As dynamics continually shift this season, one thing is clear - expect the unexpected when it comes to this show. "Herogasm" subverted expectations and it seems likely that the rest of the season will do so as well. Whatever is in store for the rest of The Boys' heroes (and anti-heroes), it seems clear that not everyone will make it out unscathed.
