The Boys Season 5 pays homage to a beloved Supernatural star, but not in the way you might expect. While the show features a star-studded Supernatural reunion, with Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, and Jared Padalecki all playing Supes alongside some big-name Hollywood stars, the nods to Eric Kripke's horror series go beyond that. The latest Easter egg is a subtle reference to the '67 Chevrolet Impala, the iconic car that Sam and Dean Winchester rode around in on Supernatural. This particular vehicle has a history in The Boys, with a blink-and-you-will-miss-it cameo in Season 2, and now it's back, but this time it's a conversation between Soldier Boy and Homelander that marks the occasion. What makes this particular reference interesting is the connection to Kripke's previous work. Kripke, a producer on both The Boys and Supernatural, has a history of adding callbacks to his previous collaborations for the giggles. The Impala reference is a subtle one, but it's a powerful reminder of the impact of Kripke's work on both shows. The Boys Season 5 is a testament to the enduring legacy of Kripke's storytelling, and the subtle references to Supernatural are a testament to the interconnectedness of the entertainment industry. As a fan of both shows, I find it fascinating to see how Kripke's influence continues to shape The Boys, and I'm excited to see what other Easter eggs and references the show has in store for us in the future.
