**** EPISODE 3 kinda spoiler but not any plot information ****
Animal rights organization PETA decides to honor The Boys for its season 3 octopus scene, in which the Deep is forced to eat his friend, Timothy.
Thankfully, no actual animals were harmed during the filming, as the octopus was created using cutting-edge technology - something PETA very much appreciates. The organization is honoring Crawford, Kripke, and The Boys special effects team with its “Tech, Not Terror” Award for that cruelty-free and, frankly, disturbing scene featuring Deep and a computer-generated octopus.
In an official statement, PETA’s Senior Vice President Lisa Lange says, “The Boys’ real heroes are working behind the scenes, creating a realistic CGI octopus so that animals can live in peace. PETA is celebrating this series for helping viewers see every octopus as an individual like Timothy, not as an entrée or as entertainment.”
