It's like he can't hear the words coming out of his mouth:

Speaking to Collider, Kripke says, "The thing about The Boys is that it’s punk rock, and it hurts extra hard when punk rockers sell out. I'm really working hard not to sell out." He's speaking about the various spin-off shows that are in the works. Gen V is currently awaiting its second season, out sometime in 2025, and a new prequel show is in the works starring Soldier Boy and Stormfront titled Vought Rising. It will detail the early years of the company.

They could all be great but, at this point, you aren't the scrappy underdog, you are a multimillion dollar superhero franchise and when he walks they'll keep milking the cow until it dies.
