Since the first season ofThe Boys, the show has been unafraid to explore the ugly sides of its complex characters. Various characters have some uncomfortable and unusual traits that turn people off while also making them weirdly interesting and unique. Homelander’s perverse obsession with milk and Deep’s relationship with Timothy were some outrageous traits.
From season 1, Tomer Capone’s Frenchie has been paired with Kimiko, and their romantic tension has always been a focal point in subsequent seasons. Frenchie’s bisexuality has always been hinted at through his storylines over the seasons. However, fans are not enjoying his current romance with Colin and are calling their relationship forced.
Fans Are Hating onThe Boys’Colin-Frenchie Storyline Leading to Review Bombing
Tomer Capone’s Frenchie has played a pivotal part inThe Boyssince the first season. The character has been paired up with Karen Fukuhara’s Kimiko for most of the show. The pair clearly had a thing for each other, but they ultimately called off any kind of romance between them by the end of season 3.

The new season introduced the character of Colin who started a romantic relationship with Frenchie. Kimiko even pushes him to pursue the romance if it makes him happy. While the two actors do a great job portraying the blossoming romance, some audiences are not happy with this development, with some calling out how it feels forced and the show allegedly ticking boxes to please certain sections of audiences.
In addition to the political commentary in thenew seasonwhich has divided audiences, this narrative has also been a problem for some fans. They have been review-bombing the show onRotten Tomatoes(currently having a 51% audience score) due to all these developments in the show.
OnThreads, one fan no_way_jay_kay wrote,“I’m a gay man and I think this is forced and stupid and totally irrelevant to the show other than for meaningless box ticking”. Another fan fuzzygreenturtle wrote onThreads,“Cause he’s so supposed to be with Kimiko, dammit!”. In the case of the Frenchie criticism this season, thebisexuality of the characterhas always been hinted at in previous seasons.
In season 2, it is heavily implied that Frenchie and his colleague Jay were romantically involved. Cherie was also involved with the duo (also suggesting a polyamorous relationship). Frenchie’s deep bond with Jay is shown when Cherie contacts him, informing him that Jay has died from an overdose. His death certainly hit Frenchie hard.

Thus, it might not come as a surprise to fans regarding the Colin-Frenchie storyline in season 4. Introducing Colin in the season also provides an interesting arc for Frenchie: to face his past and face justifiable consequences for it. With Frenchie now open about killing Colin’s family, it remains to be seen how audiences respond to their arc further down the season.

In an interview withDeadline, the actor revealed that he sees Frenchie as a troubled teenager in the family of The Boys. Capone also pointed out that Kimiko and Frenchie are the heart of the show, with their scenes becoming some of the most endearing moments throughout the series. He said,
If The Boys is a family, then it’s obvious that Frenchie is the troubled teenager and I find this really endearing. Eric likes to say that Frenchie and Kimiko are the heart of the show and I agree with that. I always feel that when Kimiko and I have our scenes, something stops in the full gas of the show. Just for a second, there’s something about these two outsiders, these two animals, who found each other and are hanging on in this crazy, crazy world.
Kimiko and Frenchie’s connection is still going strong in season 4 and it will be interesting to see where they go after the revelation in episode 4.The first four episodes ofThe Boysseason 4 are streaming on Prime Video with the remaining 4 episodes dropping weekly.
