\n\tSPOILER ALERT: This post contains details about The Boys<\/a> series finale \u201cBlood and Bone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter five seasons and many bloody battles, good finally prevailed over evil in The Boys series finale<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Prime Video<\/a> series cast and creator Eric Kripke<\/a> recently stopped by the Deadline Studio at Prime Experience<\/a>, where Hughie actor Jack Quaid<\/a> opened up about the character\u2019s big showdown with Butcher (Karl Urban) in the finale episode \u201cBlood and Bone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThey were joined in the conversation by good guys (aka \u201cThe Boys\u201d) Erin Moriarty<\/a>, Karen Fukuhara<\/a>, Tomer Capone<\/a>, Laz Alonso<\/a> and Jessie T. Usher<\/a>, discussing the \u201ctraumatic and tearful\u201d final two episodes. In a separate chat, Deadline also spoke with the baddies (aka \u201cThe Seven\u201d) Jensen Ackles<\/a>, Susan Heyward<\/a>, Chace Crawford<\/a>, Colby Minifie<\/a>, Valorie Curry<\/a>, Daveed Diggs<\/a> and Nathan Mitchell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWatch the conversations in the video and scroll down for photos from the event.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was crazy. That was a very big day,\u201d Quaid recalled of the showdown. \u201cThere\u2019s not a lot of days on the set of The Boys where everyone just kind of stops and is really taking in what is happening. I mean, we do a lot of insane stuff on the show, but the scene where Butcher dies was really heavy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tQuaid added, \u201cAnd I just have to shout out Karl, just \u2019cause he\u2019s not here. Karl\u2019s an incredible actor. I\u2019ve never seen him be that good, and it was easy to just live in that moment with him. Everything he was giving was just utterly heart-shattering, and it\u2019s just such a tragic moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tRecounting another big showdown from the finale, The Deep actor Crawford thought his conclusion was \u201creally funny,\u201d but Starlight actress Moriarty \u201cfelt sad\u201d she had to kill him off.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe\u2019s one of my really good friends, and I remember having to go over it internally, like, \u2018Suck it up!\u2019 But watching him get beat up and thrown into the ocean, I was like, \u2018He\u2019s my buddy.\u2019 And it made me sad. We started this show together, he was the first guy I met on the show, the first person outside of Jack. But I was kind of sad, I had this dichotomy of an emotional experience, but simultaneously, I was like, \u2018This is so gratifying and awesome for Annie.’\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMoriarty added, \u201cMy favorite moment, I have to say, as cliche as this sounds, was the ball kick. \u2026 So, that was satisfying.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, following Frenchie\u2019s (Capone) death in the penultimate episode, Kimiko actress Fukuhara recalled the \u201ctraumatic and tearful\u201d scene they filmed together in the finale, when his spirit gives her some words of confidence.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe really realized that she\u2019s always had the power within her, and the strength has always been there,\u201d said Fukuhara. \u201cAnd I loved that final moment, because the two of them have been helping each other throughout, and even in one of those last, defining charged moments, he comes back to help her realize that. I just thought it was beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tKripke praised the cast for helping him bring the show home. \u201cDidn\u2019t they just crush it?\u201d he raved.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s a testament to this cast and how we have such a deep bench of just stone-cold badasses, and the extent with which they attacked that final season and all of their scenes and all of their moments, across the board, is just more than I could ask for,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd give them some f*cking awards.\u201d<\/p>\n
