During the season three finale of The Boys, Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott) risks her life to save everyone from Soldier Boy’s blast by launching herself and him out of a window. The series allows you to believe that the hero was dead until later in the episode. Annie January (Erin Moriarty) visits Queen Maeve, and it’s revealed that she is very much alive and that she has lost her powers. The series also reveals that she’s back together with her ex-girlfriend Elena and is leaving New York City to finally escape Homelander. Throughout the entire season, the official Vought Twitter account has been treating the events of the show as reality, and since the world is supposed to believe that Queen Maeve is dead, they make an announcement regarding her death.
It’s with a heavy heart that we remember Vought’s most courageous lesbian, who made the ultimate sacrifice protecting us from a radicalized Soldier Boy. A trailblazer for women everywhere, there was no one more deserving of the title “Brave Maeve.” Rest in Pride, Queen! pic.twitter.com/T2hAlZ1KPR
