      Kripke reading fan feedback just to double down on the shock value anyway

    2. I don’t think he cares, the final season reportedly has the most views among the others, and he has made his money

    3. RosieQParker on

      If I had a nickel for every Eric Kripke show that went on for way too long after it should have ended…

    4. Can someone tell me why the internet is exploding and people are comparing it to the final Game of Thrones season?

      The Boys season 5 was not that good, yeah, but people act like it killed their dog. wtf

    5. I find it a bit strange to call this ending outright bad.

      >!It was the same thing that happened at the end of every season only this time, it finally worked out.!<

      >!The characters’ power gradually increased, and anything else just seemed unrealistic from a storytelling perspective. Would the characters be weaker? It would be ridiculous if they didn’t progress at all. Would the characters be stronger than the entire world? It would seem ridiculous to me if it were limited to just the core group.!<

      >!The character arcs of the individual characters are exactly what you’d expect:!<

      >!- Butcher is still a monster, and he’ll end up just like one.!<

      >!- Homelander has been a spoiled brat from the start, and just like any spoiled brat, he’ll end up that way the moment he loses his money.!<

      >!- Even a super-intelligent character was given an ending that is realistic for a super-intelligent character. One of the first iconic things about her was her lobotomy, and she ended up with a permanent lobotomy.!<

    6. Why there’s so much hate on the final season of The Boys? I didn’t read the comics but i think its a good end to the series.
      I am just asking a different point of view. I am not defending or imposing my opinion. I just want to know yours. Thanks.

      Man, people keep blaming Kripke, but refuse to acknowledge that Amazon clearly cut the budget and also forced several decisions so they can continue milking the series with spin offs.

      Guys I’m gonna be honest. Based on everything I was seeing I was expecting a shitshow of epic proportions.

      But

      Honestly it wasn’t that bad

      The way they broke in to ambush Homelander was a bit too easy sure, but that bit was amazing

      The way butcher fucked him up??? (I was hoping they’d at least keep that from the comics) Fuckin DIABOLICAL

      But yeah afterwards it kinda just fizzled out, we got some closure but it felt pretty lame all things considered.

      But feel it could’ve been worse. I was much worse

    9. All it needed was a bigger budget so Homelander going on the rampage and the battle to stop him would have been more epic. Aside from that I don’t know what people wanted with this season, I enjoyed every episode (especially the one with Seth Rogen and friends).

      Oh look. Another post hate-fanning the show. Whatever, it was fun and I enjoyed it. Go be miserable

    11. FangornLeghorn on

      The finale was fucking awesome. The whiny fuckheads all over social media were never going to like it. They decided in advance to hate it because they’re terminally online and ranting that something sucks is their entire personality. Literally nothing would have pleased them, so fuck them. Kripke nailed it and stuck the landing. Good for him.

    12. Kingofthewin on

      I feel like shows just give up at the end. Likes it over let’s just pull the band aid and get over with. It’s weird to think with budgets the shows get, they punch out when they see the finish line.

    13. fakeguitarist4life on

      The boys has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and the fans are pissed off? Sounds like a them problem.

    14. I just know the show for the memes and some videos on yt. It was that bad? Can some one explain it to me? I mean… I won’t watch it but still courious.

    15. MusicalAutist on

      Her fighting Deep next to the ocean was insane.
      She brought him there even. Ugh

    16. ThisGuy2319 on

      I watched it, enjoyed my time with it, only gonna recommend the first season kinda like with supernatural’s first five, but not gonna buy any merch. Should work on making a great show over trying to milk it.

    17. BullTerrierTerror on

      Better than GOT or The Expanse. So it’s a win in my book. Suck it comic readers.

    18. SuperSalad_OrElse on

      I always imagine if the authors tend to be the “fall guys” when working with companies like Amazon. I mean, was it a Sony-like problem, where a bunch of know-nothing execs start pushing for things that are impossible to deliver on, and Kripke had to satisfy their demands while also trying to put together the final season that would make fans happy? (Something that clearly didn’t work)

      This season ranged from bad to okay. I’m glad it’s over so I can move on and watch other things but I always wonder how these projects that seem to have everything going for them fall apart in the final hour.

    19. So I just googled the end of the comic book and it seems like the show hit all the right marks. Like it stayed pretty similar and I think the changes were good ones.

    20. Dovacraft88 on

      Im noticing a pattern with beloved shows having a final episode and suddenly its ruined the entire thing accourding to their allocated fandoms

    21. Adventurous-Eye3884 on

      Thought it was fine… Were people expecting it to buck the general trend of quality endings being hard to pull off?

      It has not been a great show for seasons now. It’s been fine.

    22. So I have only watched the first season. Is it still worth it to watch more and the gen v spinoff?

    23. I think The Boys has been bad for a while already, maybe even season 2.

      It went from a superhero satire, to a crude political platform for the showrunner.

      In case you didn’t get who was the bad people, they even get you literal nazis from the 1940s on their side….so on the nose.

    24. I heard there will be a secret 9th episode, like conformity gate. Except this time its real

    25. kireina_kaiju on

      I mean, it was ok as far as bad endings go, but no masterpiece. No Umbrella Academy.

    26. Alightenited on

      What is it with everything ending terribly now. Seems like every piece of media has a shitty conclusion.

    27. that scream was the absolute funniest thing in the whole series.

      “Take some responsibility!”

      long pause, then unhinged facial expression and “NOOO” said with so much anger

    28. I have to thank The Big Bang Theory for me knowing how to pronounce Kripke.

      🙂

    29. Quiet_Satisfaction64 on

      I don’t really get this “final season ruined everything”. Yes, it felt like treading water for a good bit but This is nothing compared to GOT Season 8 level of dumbassery

    30. Master_Carrot_9631 on

      Kripke did fine when it used to be 24 episode seasons but now ehh too rushed, the best part about the finale for me was Butcher’s daddys home

    31. Carnavaliaa on

      As someone who binged the show, I need to understand in what world people see that season particularly better or worse than the rest of the show.

      I binged the show to get caught for that last season and if there’s one thing I can say about that show is that it’s incredibly consistent. It was okay all throughout. A solid 7/10x Maybe season 1 had a tighter pacing but after that it’s been kind of okay all throughout. If anything that Stormfront season was the most boring one with so much I can’t barely remember.

      Maybe I missed some insane lore that was uncovered during the week to week experience but I swear I cannot see what people are talking about when they say the show was better before.

    32. Bodod_Begag on

      I heard this last season was actually pretty good but that was before the finale came out so I’m wondering what the fuck they did now

    33. paddlehands on

      The finale was actually pretty good. Nothing too stupid happened. It was all mostly plausible. All major issues were resolved. They could have done much worse. I don’t know why people are complaining.

    34. GoatWithinTheBoat on

      Lol he got his paycheck.

      So many redditors hate watched the series while fans loved watching it. It’s the #1 show on Amazon prime other than Invincible.

      Should have stopped watching it if you didn’t enjoy it. After a few episodes of realizing you didn’t like it, it should have been easy to drop.

      I loved the finale. Was fun and entertaining.

    35. winelover08816 on

      I was looking for a new series to binge and it was between The Boys and Mad Men. Thinking I made the right choice not picking The Boys, and now I don’t think I have to watch it at all based on the hate for the last season.

    36. SlightSurround5449 on

      Might be the first time I agree with “the fans” in this situation.

    37. BrodyTheBruh on

      Is it ridiculous to say that I think the finale was perfect? Nothing could’ve gone better imo

    38. Knight11563 on

      Yet again, another modern TV series that gained massive popularity, only for it to become a platform for the creator’s political pandering.

      And again, glad I didn’t get invested in this at all.
