![]() Fukuhara talked about her ability to go to some pretty dark places as an actor. Kimiko, too, has had a rather rough journey so far that got significantly darker when her brother reappeared and subsequently got killed. I think understanding is fine, but you shouldn't be on her side." "And the moments that I did connect to her, I also wanted to make sure that, in the arc of the season, we weren't saying, well, because you understand this about her, that excuses anything, which is very different than a normally playing a character where I maybe would want to find the real reason behind and allow the audience to see that and understand her. "I don't think that she should be glorified in any way. Similarly, Cash is grateful for the opportunity to play such a despicable character as she rises to the challenge and pushes herself to play someone so, as she calls it, disgusting. It's just a little harder as an actor to not be able to talk about the entire story and to get into some of these larger conversations without spoilers and without the full context of the show." ![]() "And so the experience of watching weekly is actually important. "I think the weekly release has been harder for me but is better ultimately because the truth is that's how the real world works is that we are often bamboozled by people who seem competent and charming, and that the cult of personality tends to win over content in our world. People have been either for or against the weekly rollout of episodes for The Boys Season 2, but Cash sees it as a two-fold issue. I love that you asked that question because questioning the definition we put on feminism or being feminine, it should be talked about." "And violence was a way that she went, but male or female, I think it would have, it would have resulted in something very dark. If a male was put into Kimiko's situation where you got kidnapped, torn away from your family, had done horrible things, physically altered, and then they summon you to kill people, of course, you would have to do something about it. She continued, "I don't think that it matters whether you are a female or not. You know, if we're put in the same situation, whether we are male or female." So for me, the femininity and difficult decisions did not feel mutually exclusive or difficult to keep both intact for me."įukuhara said, "I think that's a really interesting question because somehow, we have equated femininity to not being dark or violent, which is so weird because we're all human beings, and we all feel the same thing. And yet it doesn't make them any less empowered. "But I think that's the whole point of the show is to show women that are at times doing dark things, making wrong choices, as we all do. If you've also wondered how Ashley, who initially seemed like a decent person, managed to wind up with the job from hell, Minifie has done some work with Ashley's backstory. "And I think part of the stress that she's under and the story of this season, hopefully, is maybe her coming to terms with what that means and what she's sacrificing in order to make a corporation look good." I think she drives really hard and fast toward making sure the optics look good, no matter what sacrifices she has to make, to make that happen. But the audience, I don't think, should ever end up on her side."Īnd while Ashley isn't on equal footing with Stormfront either within the group of in terms of her transgressions, Minifie says, "There is a bit more of a window of opportunity for Ashley's humanity to still be intact. I hope they don't, but for her, you have to follow her own story in how she thinks that she's the hero of her own story. "I don't think those justifications actually pan out as an audience member.
