WARNING: Spoilers ahead for The Boys season 3, episode 6
Why is Starlight's nose left bleeding in The Boys season 3's «Herogasm» episode? Perhaps contrary to expectation, The Boys' long-awaited «Herogasm» isn't just about how many boobs, balls and buttholes can be crammed into a single frame.

They've been doing their damnedest to avoid her ever since.
