THE BOYS: Firecracker Actress Valorie Curry Calls Out Fan Who Crossed A Boundary At Recent Comic-Con

The recent fourth season of The Boys saw Homelander recruit two new members of The Seven, one of whom turned out to be alt-right TV host Firecracker: an openly racist, homophobic and all-round nasty customer with an axe to grind against Annie January, aka Starlight (Erin Moriarty).

Over the course of the season, Firecracker finds a way to endear herself to Homelander by taking a course of drugs which allow her to lactate. If you know anything about the seriously messed-up leader of The Seven, you'll no doubt understand why this would be of great interest to him!

Firecracker actress Valorie Curry recently attended Comic-Con Northern Ireland, and while she makes a point of noting that she had a mostly very pleasant experience, she has shared an Instagram video addressing one particularly "uncomfortable" encounter with a fan who crossed a boundary while waiting in line to meet her.

"I know people saw a character that I played do some really extreme things on The Boys, and I don't care if you're in costume, I don't care if you're in character... it's not okay, and it's not funny to demand those things from me in person at my booth," Curry said in the video. "Frankly, to the person who did that repeatedly today, I made it pretty clear that it wasn't okay, and that only seemed to make this person and their friend angry. I didn't think this needed to be explained but I was deeply uncomfortable. It was quite clear I was uncomfortable. Again, I don't know what reaction you were looking for – nobody was laughing."

Curry didn't go into detail on exactly what went down, but based on the scenario we outlined above, you can probably guess!

During a recent interview with THR, Curry made it abundantly clear that she doesn't want her character to survive the events of the fifth and final season.

“I hope she dies. She has it coming from many people. She’s awful. She’s horrible. I hope she dies. I hope it’s not because of the meds, because that seems too easy,” she said. “It should be Sage (Susan Heyward), right? It should be Sage, and then she should survive and have a spinoff. I hope she dies."

"The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power," reads the official season 4 synopsis. "Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late."

Returning cast members include Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher, Laz Alonso, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and Cameron Crovetti, along with new recruits Susan Heyward, Valorie Curry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

The first three episodes of The Boys season 4 will be available to stream from June 13th, with new instalments dropping weekly through to the season finale on July 18.

Fans can be so entitled and anyone who actually loves Firecracker must be a disgusting person in real life so this checks out sadly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is why comic conventions should go back to being about comic books, nowadays they’re just media conventions for cosplayers and celebrities.

@ItsNotForMeWahh - For the bad B/O crowd also dress for your body type. We do not need to see you wear a dingy white T-shirt that barely reaches your belly button. You're a 4XL not a L.

Homelander-cosplaying manchild threw a hissy fit after being told they couldn't be breastfed in public. Or am I misreading the situation?

Either way, good on her for standing her ground and not tolerating jackasses.

@DrReedRichards - This seems to be the most logical assessment. There are plenty of things that could have been done from the show to make her uncomfortable but this seems to be the most likely

Maybe this jerk was totally drunk. This was in Ireland .

As I’m sure Mr Cassidy can tell you, 87.3% of the people there are usually falling down drunk.

Too bad she had to go through that. Hopefully they identified the guy so that show organizers can ban him from registering again for future shows.

The incels strike again. They must have been on a break from their protesting of some imaginary "woke" entertainment.

@Forthas - This of us that know history know that giving special privileges to certain races or segregating races is a bad thing. Why are the woke people doing those things today? If we were rally learning from history shouldn’t we promoting merit and actions over making someone’s race and sexuality the center of everything these days? Let’s bring back the MLK Jr type of race relations that I was raised on!

Mighty big assumption that it was someone from that side that did this, unless it was said it's what he was?

But either way, surely you realize that harassment and entitlement are on both sides, as they are humans, and all normal humans are sinners and privy to lewdness, lustfulness and arrogance.

This is why everyone needs to look to and worship God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, not their own flesh, as their flesh leads to some type of sexual immorality. Jesus is Lord!

@mountainman - Right! Virtually every credible study about the socio-economic differences between races shows that there is a disparity. If things like jobs and housing were ever based on metit then there would not be these disparities...would it? The people most responsible for that disparity are often the same people crying the loudest about the imaginary privileges that some people's race or gender allegedly afford them. These people are the ones who want special privileges that they have gotten for over 400 years and to continue to benefit from that. The REAL definition of woke is an awareness of this FACT and I am more than sure MLK would agree with that opinion.

@dagenspear - "But either way, surely you realize that harassment and entitlement are on both sides, as they are humans, and all normal humans are sinners and privy to lewdness, lustfulness and arrogance."

Sure! But one side has decided to take up the vast majority of instances and is more often than not culpable in these instances in which it happens so an educated guess will point their way.
