00:00Welcome back everyone it is Amelia I hope you are fine.

00:09The Boys Season 4 introduces Billy Butcher's old friend, Joe Kessler.

00:13But it features a massive twist concerning Jeffrey Dean Morgan's character.

00:17Kessler makes his first appearance in The Boys Season 4's premiere, catching up with

00:21Butcher while Emin gets chastised by the CIA.

00:25Their initial conversation reveals that Kessler and Butcher know each other from their time

00:29in the military and Butcher even saved the other veterans' life while at war.

00:34However, The Boys Season 4 Episode 6 reveals their backstory doesn't unfold exactly as

00:40the premiere suggests.

00:41Kessler crops up throughout The Boys Season 4, encouraging Butcher to continue his quest

00:46for revenge against Homelander, even if it means sacrificing his humanity.

00:51During their first meeting, Kessler tells Butcher that the world needs someone like

00:55him as he's willing to do what's necessary.

00:57Kessler pushes Butcher to neutralize Ryan, even if it means betraying him.

01:02He also suggests The Boys team is a joke in The Boys Season 4 Episode 5 and he cheers

01:07Butcher's gruesome treatment of Sameer.

01:10Kessler appeals to Butcher's crueler tendencies but he isn't quite what he seems.

01:14The Boys Season 4 Episode 6 delivers a brilliant twist when it comes to Joe Kessler.

01:20As it turns out, Butcher has been imagining his old friend for the entire fourth season.

01:24Kessler doesn't actually show up to push Butcher back into the game nor is he the one

01:29behind Butcher's schemes.

01:31He's a creation of Butcher's mind and a representation of his inner conflict.

01:35The Joe Kessler Butcher sees and speaks to throughout The Boys Season 4 isn't really

01:40there.

01:41But he is an existing person in The Boys universe.

01:43The real Kessler was Butcher's friend during the war.

01:46But Butcher never actually saved him.

01:48The story Kessler recounts in The Boys Season 4 Episode 1 is a lie, something Butcher wishes

01:54had happened.

01:55The ending of Episode 6 reveals that Kessler never made it out of the Panjshir Valley.

02:00You never dragged me out, Kessler tells Butcher during the big reveal.

02:04You left me to die.

02:05Of course, Butcher doesn't remember leaving Kessler in the Panjshir Valley because his

02:09tumour is messing with his mind.

02:11It's causing him to forget things and see people who aren't there.

02:15These people are two incredibly influential figures in his life, both of whom represent

02:20vastly different parts of his personality.

02:23It's obvious why Becca is the angel on Butcher's shoulder as she serves as his motivation and

02:28conscience throughout The Boys.

02:30However, viewers may question why Butcher's devil looks like Joe Kessler.

02:34There are two possible reasons this is the person he conjures up.

02:38First, Kessler clearly hates sups just as much as Butcher.

02:41Although viewers never meet the real Kessler, the one in Butcher's mind alludes to conversations

02:47between the two of them and these discussions centre on getting rid of sups.

02:51They likely brought out the worst in each other, which explains why he represents Butcher's

02:56worst impulses.

02:57Give me some ideas related to my video in comments on below if you like this video and

03:02subs for more upcoming videos.
