Caution: spoilers ahead for The Boys season 3
Thought that theory about how Ant-Man could've defeated Thanos was bad? The Boys season 3 proves just how much worse the hypothetical anal atrocity could've been. After Thanos made his MCU debut proper in 2018's Avengers: Infinity War, fans were given a whole year to consider how the Mad Titan could be defeated.

The Boys season 3's premiere («Payback») takes a much closer look at Termite's favorite pastime. The
