@lady_kana: it's funny to look at the posters for season 5 now - a Homelander in space looking at the destruction on earth, Butcher against the background of the destroyed Vaught Tower, this poster with a hundred supers behind the Homelander, is how marketers misled.
By the way, we noticed how in this episode the Homelander literally flew into space in 2 seconds and returned (when the millionaire was carried away), or in the last one, he reached Frenchy in almost a split second when he knocked, but then he couldn't fly away from Butcher and Kimiko. (even in the Herogasm episode, when he didn't have V1, he flew away, even though he was pinned to the floor by three people). Or how he literally tore people in half with his laser (even in the first episode of this season, Kimiko), but he couldn't do anything here. It's clear that there are a lot of such moments in the series, but at least in the finale, the scriptwriters could have thought about it.
Now, for some reason, I've just reviewed the moments from this series, I thought maybe the first impressions let me down, but no, it's really a very weak ending, I once thought that the comic had a clever ending, but now I realize that it wasn't so bad there.
Damn, it turned out to be such a mess So many of the characters' storylines were leaked simply by killing them or even strangling them🤣 And someone got two separate seasons to send to Canada. CANADA, CARL!
@mansy: and why, instead of spreading the poison to all the soups, the whole Butcher gang didn't hunt the soups and rob them of their powers with the help of Kimiko? It's not an easy idea, but at least not radically. They didn't even think about it. Or is there something I don't understand?
@Kodval: so the idea with Kimiko turned out the same. The boys have the opportunity to get rid of soups without poison. I'm writing this because of Butcher's idea to kill all the soups with poison when there's another option with Kimiko.
@mansy: Oh, so that's it for Butcher, he went to do it so that they would stop him at the end. He lost everything, he had nothing to live for, and he didn't really want to destroy everyone, but he also hated suicide, he needed someone to help him "leave" :)
@-Holycow-: Yeah, and at the same time, Kimiko is still a walking bomb, emotions will rush in and may well blow up everyone around her, she hasn't figured it out with renewed vigor yet and has almost no control over her. Letting her go alone is a hell of a great idea, of course.
@id150317179: Kimiko underwent psychotherapy between seasons 4 and 5, perhaps this will help her with managing the ability that works on the trigger of emotions. In the first season, she was generally wild, but now she's a person who, after the death of a loved one, is just sad, not furious.
@mabwch: xs, the Soldier was not measured, but for some reason the Female was accentuated, well, purely for the cake, well, as if there was nothing to catch except cupcakes
@-Holycow-: otherwise, if the Soldier does not sound, it means that this feature is gradually passing away. Or it goes off immediately after the flash, then it normalizes. It's a pity that we didn't spend exactly 30 seconds explaining it properly.
@mabwch: Well, if you start thinking, it turns out to be a very sad picture, it's better to take out your brains and say that the ending is normal) There's a soldier there who probably sees Clara every time he sees her. Although he doesn't need this game, he somehow figured it out intuitively, it turns out to be misogyny!!!
@-Holycow-: No, well, there's already a difference in the backstage of the characters, the Soldier worked the first few times on a stationary thrust, and then he caught up on how to use it purposefully.
@mabwch: As if Kimiko wasn't supposed to have PTSD in the backstage, she was kind of at war with puberty while the Soldier was cooling off in the pressure chamber. And Kimiko had an understanding of what was wrong with her. And the Soldier did not understand at all what had been done to him. So I insist🤗
@-Holycow-: I can't fully agree, but I won't object much either. we've found a point where our understanding of the characters is different, and that's okay)
@mabwch: Don't worry, I'm not being fanatical with my own ideas... In any case, the characters can't think of a worse fate than becoming their shadow after the creators, so this is all harmless entertainment. But for once, I got into the ideas of fanfiction😁
@-Holycow-: In your opinion, there are dosimeters at the airport that are embedded in metal detectors, no other way? Or do service dogs, which have been trained for drugs at the same time, sense radiation, or what? What are the adventures on the border? My question, considering how she joined the boys, is whether she even has a passport with her to leave the states, however, no one claims that she got to the croissants legally.
@-Holycow-: Huh, that's interesting... I didn't think that such monitors would be installed outside of nuclear facilities... And they end up everywhere and in different countries. And they irradiated Kimiko with Uranium. That is, a combo set of alpha, gamma and neutron radiation is just a celebration for the PRM. I was wrong. Thanks for the clarification.
@mansy: They praised this Marie Moreau so much in the 2nd season of Gen V, just the 2nd strongest super in the world, so what? And why? As a result , she didn 't play any role in the plot at all .
@Paramelion: Yes, people are generally degenerates. Because they don't like something in the media, they write such bullshit, and sometimes they just bully the creators and actors on social media. ad networks
@Xenobait: in my opinion, this is basically an American trick, they are very bad at separating cinema from reality, so these morons, for example, harassed Joffrey from Game of Thrones, although the actor played well.
@Nog: well, I don't know, compared to the OSD and the boys, the final episode and especially the season as a whole in thrones is still much better - there's a lot of darkness here.
@Lebowski: The last season of GoT had its hat full, all the character development gone wrong, absolutely not logical moves, and incredibly stupidly filmed battles. In general, the season and the series ended quite as expected, I don't understand what people expected from the "fairy tale" about children. To make everyone die to hell? It initially looked like a Happy Ending series (yes, many people burned out on the LGBT monologue, and it was kind of out of place on the one hand, but on the other, it wasn't that annoying. The final fight was crumpled and painted over, but the Epilogue was good, so it's hard to call the ending ST bad) B The Boys must be given credit for the fact that the series was made from a fairly average comic book, which, apart from a fierce tinplate and a raft of twist with Noir, offered nothing new. We've already seen everything, plus or minus, in Watchmen, The Tick, and so on. But the series gave both character development and backstory, and even an alternative arc to Noir (which, although worse than the original, nevertheless has a place to be and be loved). It was interesting to see the parallels of the arches of the Submarine and the Train, when they started from about the same level of "asshole" and how differently they finished. In general, in the final season, the first 2 episodes were very good, but then in 6 episodes we saw so much filler garbage that we immediately remembered the garbage season 6 of Peaky Blinders. The last episode of the Boys may not have been straight 10/10, but it's clearly better than episodes 3-7, where apart from Samuel Jackson in the form of a shark and a gag with a dog, I don't remember anything. Yes, for some reason the characters are Gen V. Yes, the fight was banal, but in general the outcome was obvious. I'm glad for MM. In general, if the first season was solid 8, seasons 2-4 are closer to 7, this one is probably the 6th
@Xenobait: I don't think the resentment about the ST finale is related to the low number of deaths. In general, there is some strange fashion for as many characters as possible to appear at the end of all TV series. What for? What's wrong with happy endings? The ending of ST is bad not because of this, but because of the contradictions in the script, because instead of revealing the characters and their relationships, we listen to the same speeches all season, as if the authors decided that the audience has grown so old in 5 seasons that there is now an audience of sclerotics. Missing scenes, illogical behavior of the characters, and much more, including a previously set bar.
>In general, there is some kind of strange fashion for as many characters as possible to appear at the end of all TV series. What for? What's wrong with happy endings?
Usually, there's nothing wrong with happy endings. I love them very much, and the bad endings are always frustrating and just feel like a drain.
But here! It's just nonsense. They soaked everyone from right to left, they raised and raised the degree of insanity, and in the end they fucked it up. The children's finale came out, absolutely disproportionate to the whole series.
The situation in the SD is slightly different. The low number of deaths there just doesn't look realistic. It was like a series that felt like something that could have happened with a stretch. They presented it like this. But in the end, this immunity of the main characters (of course, except for one🙄) ruined everything.
In short, people don't know how to make finals. Although the guys outperformed many by doing it to the hilt, it's not a shame to end the story LIKE that.
@Xenobait: The ending of "Game of Thrones" is far from ideal (the line with Daenerys, as far as I'm concerned, is great, she kills all the unwanted people throughout the series and so far the unwanted (to put it mildly) are not good people, neither the positive characters nor the audience have any problems, but when she continues to do everything in her own way the usual style, but the attitude towards ordinary people is already changing a little (like the exchange rate of the Venezuelan bolivar). The personal tragedy of Jon Snow is not bad (but in the end he was hidden in the refrigerator until better times ...), and the lines of Sansa (I didn't work this one out from a small letter to a large letter), Bran Arya and many others... This is, of course, a separate topic. But this is far from the worst ending. And the boys were disproportionately less lucky. It has already been said a lot that the possibilities of a homelander change not even from season to season, not from series to series, but within ONE episode. As Comrade Shvonder said, "this is some kind of shame," the level of plausibility and consistency inside this world is negative, which completely destroys the viewer's faith in what is happening and the magic of cinema. The series has not produced anything worthy for several seasons, only endless shocking scenes without a gram of meaning, a total lack of a sense of proportion, relevance and taste, one-sided, straightforward, thin as a sleeper, criticism of the right in the United States. And posters that at least, if not the plot, then at least the epic promised. And in the end, everything was drained into the toilet, a planetary-scale showdown was reduced to a massacre in 2 rooms (albeit one with a rich history) + exit/departure 🛫 to the beach. It was an ingenious decision on the part of Starlight (who hadn't shone with intelligence right from the first episode of the first season) and had no idea that Deep had been impeached in the water. How the local version of the black canary in a cassock was killed, I can't imagine why his scream didn't just knock out this gag? Physics has hung up again, it's not normal for her, she's already used to it. Bucher's line would even be logical if literally in the same episode they hadn't shown another option that had a chance of success and wasn't genocide, but the other option was to eat croissants... (Bucher's personal canary's refusal of Singer's offer is the height of moronism, he literally would have had a huge impact on all issues regarding supers including their fates, starting with Starlight, what if the president, who was apparently taken almost from the homelander's personal basement, decides that all supers are a threat and something needs to be done about them? Apparently, Huey is not able to think about the future at all and calculate the risks for the people closest to him... In short, I wanted to shout at the screen: "Hire an administrator for your video rental and go run the whole bureau, gifted..." Marie Moreau was sent to the refrigerator, oh, sorry, this is another series, but no, wait, it's also in the refrigerator, but it's even dumber, because she wasn't even used. WHY did she appear in this series, why was she inserted, so that what? For her to say: "Hi, I'm here for now"? Yes, against this background, the finale of game of thrones is a masterpiece of completeness, character arches and a triumph of logic, I never thought I would write like this... The showrunner is an example of mediocrity from the house of weights and measures, against this background, it even became a shame for the showrunners of Game of thrones...
@Nog: maybe I'm not expressing a popular opinion here, but the season really came to me, I saw that many people fucked up the finale and the ratings were low, and I was waiting for cal, but it turned out very well. At least it's better than the final of the SD, for me.
I'm glad to see the abyss drain, he's still the most rotten character in the universe, and I loved him for that, but I also raged a lot.
Homelander also liked how they beat him, how quickly they brought him down from heaven to earth. It's funny that he wanted to escape while still having superpowers. A coward and a lonely boy, his death also caused many different emotions, from pity to satisfaction. Starr made a very incredible character. It's a pity to say goodbye to him.
And of course it's a pity that the Frenchman's chocolate still killed the Terror. The dog is said to have died in real life🥲
In short, I won't call this finale a masterpiece, but it's clearly not some kind of shit, as everyone writes. It's good and strong. Are you giving Ashley a second term as president
The moment when the fake plums that were at the beginning of the week turned out to be many times better than this garbage 😭😭 Five seasons will lead to the fact that the Homelander will fail, biting before the season for unrealistic destruction, and as a result, a mini-fight in the oval office and regular jokes about Kripke's dicks. What was the point of V1 at all?. Once again, the Homelander, who has unrealistic abilities, stands in front of the boys and waits. Well, as they say, "It's what clara would have wanted"
Not as terrible as the ending of the IP, but very weak. The season was a disappointment, we had to finish in third place.
Is this the final? And that's what the budget went for? What about how the characters in 1 room kicked each other? The whole series has been warming us up that now the Homelander will go like a cuckoo and start creating trash, well, wait a little longer, but in the end? He didn't even kill anyone in the finale. The comic can be criticized for a lot of things, but the final clash of Butcher, Homelander and Noir was really cool, but what about here? Was there a budget for a case of beer? Is that why it's so small-scale? Kripke promised that there would be many deaths, and as a result, only Frenchie and Butcher, whose death was obvious, left the positive characters. Even fucking Sage was given a happy ending. The characters from gen B also didn't affect anything in the end. Kripke, with his satire on Trump, which killed the plot, should be kicked out of his job as a screenwriter for such an ending. Well, the fact that Butcher has finally moved is also not impressive, he has been swinging back and forth like a pendulum for the last 2 seasons, now he wants to kill all the supers, now he doesn't want to. It seems like he didn't want to in the last episode, now he wants to again. The same as a Soldier, whose drain is generally a disgrace. What a mediocrity.
@TheMargo: Well, they said that "the richest man + an astronomer" still refers more to Elon) Plus, the guy in the cap and blazer came, usually Elon also walks like that)
@Effy_Winchester: That's right, when I was watching, I remembered this fact and immediately thought about it, but when I answered the person, I already forgot)
Well, the victory over Homelander did happen. And quite simple, I would say. Overall, it was already clear from the season that there would be very little epicness in the finale, but it was the battle with Homelander that I wanted to see on a larger scale. I join the flash mob: "this is what Clara would like"
@reddit: Moreover, this is a pure fantasy of the directors, because the oval office may look like an ordinary office, but in reality the walls are reinforced with metal and concrete. 🤦♂️
@Nog: imho, the most gorgeous moment in the final episode) What a facial expression, what a play with the eyes, how many emotions there are in this meeting!)
I also liked how Kripke said that the storyline of the characters from Gen V would continue straight into the Boys finale. Well, it's doubtful that their appearance can be considered at least some kind of continuation of their plots, and not a cameo for the sake of a cameo.
@apollo_2001: They weren't needed here at all, absolutely. Which, in fact, makes the entire spin-off an unnecessary increase in content. If the story about the university of supers had been made independent, rather than trying to tie it to the main series, it would have made much more sense.
@apollo_2001: Everything seems to be transparent here. They were casually added to the main series in order to smoothly move fans from one show to another. Like a flock of sheep in the village
@apollo_2001: That's the most disappointing thing this season. This was how they fanned this Marie, saying that she was capable of defeating Homelander, gradually revealed her powers, in the end they gathered all the students so that they joined the resistance, but in fact they were practically not involved at all and simply flushed down the toilet, without any action or active participation.
@Artfullash: Everything is so. With physics, I will also note the moment of the priest's death. It was designed spectacularly, but there was an ordinary mortal behind it.)
The only moment in the episode that I can really call great is that Ryan decided to start his life away from his "dads."
The moment when Butcher was standing over John's body was very beautifully musically framed - that disturbing music that usually appeared during Homelander's breakdowns, gradually turning into a sad and melancholic melody, as if describing Butcher's condition at that moment (John is killed, what is his purpose in life now?). And, at the same time, it shows that these two are literally two sides of the same coin.
Otherwise.. I can't even get upset, because after the previous episodes it was clear that there would be no ending. Started with a bang, ended with a 'meh'.
@mani4_ka: it didn't seem like a very justified plot to me-there was nothing to indicate that Terror was ill or could suddenly leave Butcher in this way. ( Throughout the season, pesel was purely Chekhov's gun for the sake of disrupting Butcher, which, to be honest, feels like a very cheap trick.
@Jack__Slater: Butcher also gave him pills and protected him from chocolates, so most likely the doggie had problems in the series, which was emphasized by Butcher's concern.
@Meloman_Nastena: this is not bad, but, imho, I would prefer a more comical death to him, showing all the worthlessness of the character at the end of the series - a la drowning (I don't know how potentially possible this is, but I suppose it would be potentially feasible if the fish somehow held his gills).
@morevar: Yeah, Ryan's not to blame for anything at all, it's all his father's genes that kicked in, or you can become good at any moment, and everyone who wanted to was forgiven)
@-Holycow-: I didn't say that Ryan was good, but he could change, break the vicious circle, so to speak, if he was away from the obviously toxic environment that John and Billy were in.
@morevar: I don't know how Ryan's toxicity differs from Butcher's. He has lost 4 lives to his credit. And while there is no gap, well, no matter how we see it already)
@Sirogabober: If it hadn't been for Ashley, they probably wouldn't have been able to get very far, so we prepared for their arrival. The only question is: why didn't the Patriot scan Ashley herself with psychics for faith in him? 🤔
@id74138559: Why are psychics not at risk at all? Butcher was almost killed by one, and what's stopping them from getting into Homelander's brain, there's no explanation at all, what's wrong with their motivation, and the same Kate from the useless spin-off they lost, why does Homelander trust them at all?) So many questions
It's a pity that we finally merged. There was hope for a bright ending at least (the season was frankly a bit boring), but so many dumb decisions and moves. Sometimes even incomprehensible ones.
Why this ambush at the White House? How stupidly the final battle was filmed... at first, the Homelander easily fights back, and then just freezes and watches (!!!) as his strength is taken away.
It was a very strange decision not to punish a Homelander, leaving him to live as a mere mortal. In an ideal ending, he hangs himself a couple of days after the fight.
Working Time also raises questions, but most likely Amazon will just launch new series in the Universe. There is no other explanation for this, because Butcher was right in the dialogue before his death.
The team started with vivid satire and maximum plausibility, and ended with some cliches. Sadly.
Who has read the original source? How close was it?
@antons: very far away. In the comic, in principle, the ending is much bigger, there is a Homelander with an army of supers seizing the white house, then the boys come with the US army and there is a twist that most of the Homelander's atrocities were not committed by him, but by Black Noir, who is his clone, and he kills him. After that, Butcher and the US Army finish off Noir. Then Butcher goes like a cuckoo and decides to put out all the supers, including the boys (who also injected themselves with vi). He kills Frenchy, MM, and Kimiko, and Huey kills him. As a result, of the main Persians, only Huey, Asterisk and Underwater survive (which is generally different in the comics). Well, that's in general terms.
@g1481395: What a dramatic and catchy ending in comics! And the move with Noir and crazy Butcher is very interesting. Why couldn't we just stick to the original source?.
@noir_character: because apart from the finale, the comics are very dull and mostly take out trash. The characters there are cardboard and incredibly caricatured, I don't think we would like to see a Soldier pissing in his pants, because that's how he was in the comic. As I mentioned above (and always have), the raft twist with Noir is the best thing in the comic (okay, and the ending was much crazier, but the whole gang rape comic is like that). But the series, moving away from the comic, gave enough growth to many characters and characters.
@antons: There's a different ending in the comic, but Homie gets killed too, as far as I remember. The discrepancies started with Noir, where it's a stupidly different character.
@antons: I completely agree, the series ridiculed the superhero franchises, hundreds of spin-offs, in order to eventually become one of them. It's hypocritical.
And this is the ending? Is this "you're just freaking out about the ending"? And from what, exactly? From the fact that everything was shot as if by YouTubers with a budget of a pack of Doshirak? Okay, two packs.
A feeling of incredible boredom and sterility. It's hard to come up with a more crumpled and dreary ending. At the moment of the final fight with Homelander, the feeling "damn, but in the third season the mix was much cooler." There were some complaints there, too, but the fight on the Heroin with Butcher and the Soldier looked a hundred times more cheerful. This is not what you expect. There is no scope. Zero surprises and "these are the twists." The hope was that Home would start cutting out hundreds of people when the conversation turned to heretics, but we can't have anything cool here, right?)) All the coolness remained in the interview with the showrunner, and on the posters. I'll give it my due, it was nice to watch Home grovel, having lost his strength, but it was as if they hadn't put the squeeze on him either. Five seasons for this?... Well, thanks, che.
A soldier? Merged. Characters from Generation V? It's a stupid cameo that doesn't affect the plot in any way. I sympathize with those who watched the two seasons and thought it would somehow affect the main series. Death of a Submariner? As ridiculous as possible. The series seems to be famous for its tin, well, turn around somehow, let it be torn apart or something, or else a tentacle through your mouth, seriously??? And the fight was ridiculous, they waved their fists for two minutes.
Perhaps the last one is absolutely Butcher's reversal, because there's still half an hour left before the end of the episode. "Oi, my dog died, and my adopted son told me to fuck off, okay, I'm going to wet all the soups." It's just that the elegant Roskomnadzor was done by Huey's hands, because there weren't enough eggs himself. Imho, it should have been brought more smoothly to the fact that he decided to kill all superheroes altogether. His goal was to kill Homelander and avenge his wife, and he achieved it. That's it, Finita. And the supers are being bred in laboratories, but they are scattered all over the world.. You'll kill those who are currently active, OK, but that won't stop corporations from bringing out new ones, and so do businessmen and scientists who are ordinary people. Or am I missing something? :/
In general, it's not just bad, it's bad. It's just "no way." The notorious 5/10, in a couple of months I'll forget what happened here. The first and second seasons will always remain in the heart. There was really a tin, there was conflict, tension, it was even better relieved. We saved on the finale, but at least we didn't leak it.
PS. The death of the dog caused the most feelings during the season. Especially considering that she died six months ago ( PS2. Memes are the only good thing I found for myself. "This is what Clara would like." + Today, people started joking about "Scorched Earth? Rather, the soil is medium-rare."
@Mr_Knight: the entire budget was spent on the exorbitant egos of the actors and their unions, which demand such working conditions that there is no money left for a normal picture, and of course Amazon was too lazy to spend an extra penny on the most popular TV series, which even now has collected tens of millions of views.
@vxrnt: So guys aren't the most popular TV series huh. Even some penny dramas get more views from Amazon, and Sheridan's series are generally much ahead (as I've heard). The boys are a popular TV series, but it's likely that Kripke didn't lie about the budget. P.S. But this doesn't justify Kripke at all. The guy kept a bunch of useless characters for 5 seasons, which he could evenly remove, freeing the budget from the salaries of minor actors, who, with their growing fees, greatly reduce it.…
@georgiy_rud: I think I read just recently that the guys have collected some 55 million views and broke all Amazon records, and actually the series is popular, but I haven't even heard of Sheridan, well, I don't know, I can't guarantee
@vxrnt: this 55 million seems to be a record for the series itself, but the guys are not the most popular on Amazon, since even the Rings of Power, whose views are going down, are watching more P.S. I also thought that the series was very popular. Then I realized that this was the effect of a huge number of Homelander memes that flooded the Internet.
@vxrnt: Sheridan is Taylor Sheridan, screenwriter and author of Yellowstone. The series is so popular that it has prequels in 1883, 1923 (starring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford), Yellowstone: Marshals, and another one is planned - the Dutton Ranch.
@Mr_Knight: Rather, we were freaking out from Kripke's prank) At the moment of the final fight, Vietnamese flashbacks appeared when the cat plays with the mouse and catches it by the tail (I would like to send a tub of shit to the person who is responsible for the turd humor in the series, thank God, the series is over and now this person will starve). As for Butcher, the eyeliner is shit, but the fact that he planned to kill all the supers is a leitmotif that he never stopped chasing, it's just that it's shown through the ass, it's just that he basically shouldn't be with the "boys", well, everything was just done for the sake of Huey's shot, it's Lenny, but I was just too lazy to figure out for myself how it should have been in order for it to work... Well, fuck him, there were 3 good seasons, and Kripke is a shit-eater, well, let's see what else he makes up there.
@Mr_Knight: I hoped to the last that there would be some bullshit with this pull the trigger, like Huey would realize that Butcher was right and would still press, or Butcher, dying, would still accidentally or deliberately press and finish what he had planned, or the employees would press him because of his stupidity or some ridiculous the case. And then there's a worldwide genocide, baby, but without the acting supers. Although the serum stocks in the Homelander's office and in the laboratories have not been canceled. They can only be destroyed purposefully, but the one who doesn't put a couple of ampoules in his pocket should also destroy them.
In general, the final is like the final. It does not cause feelings of disappointment as a sole proprietor or sole proprietor. I'm even ready to review the boys sometime in the future.
@ras_doctor: I was looking for a comment that I totally agree with, and this is it. I don't understand what kind of exorbitant expectations everyone had, really the final is like the final.
@ras_doctor: I agree. A completely normal ending. Not "wow", but not "ew" either. Perhaps, in my case, there is no disappointment because, unlike the release of the IP and SD finals, I did not really expect anything.
@ras_doctor: As someone who doesn't follow all the hype around the "incredible ending," I'm actually quite happy with the ending. the only thing that really bothers me is the spin-off, which I watched in the hope that the characters would somehow make a difference here. But in the end, it doesn't matter
@ras_doctor: I agree, I didn't expect some incredible epic from the ending. In my opinion, the series lost its tension after the third season, when the authors tried to carefully follow the logic of the characters and lore. Then they switched to pure fan service, giving up on everything, so I didn't have high expectations. The ending turned out to be quite normal, the Homelander died in the finale, and I'm glad of that.
The only thing I didn't like was Butcher's death. I imagined it differently, and not that his own kid would kill him, even under the pretext of infecting all the supers with a virus. That's not the most convincing motive.
I also don't quite understand the moment with Ryan. The guy decided to start life with a clean slate and did not want to live with Butcher, considering him a bad person. But then he followed Marvin, even though Marvin seems to have as many sins as Butcher.
@ras_doctor: I support you, there's a lot of whining, but I can write better. Well, go ahead, write the script and send it, otherwise you've only written a nagging comment.
@ras_doctor: I join you! The series has been tormented for the last two seasons and did not know which way to develop the plot. After all, you can't go out endlessly on some trash situations and heroes. It's new in the beginning, then it gets worse.
Kripke did it like the Supernatural: when you introduce a hero who is practically invulnerable and as powerful as possible, you automatically subscribe to some kind of improbable battle between God and a mere mortal. Therefore, the finale is without surprises. Perhaps this is better than the pointless wanderings of the characters for 1-3 seasons.
and the three worst merged endings proudly include the boys next door to Game of Thrones and OSD. Amazon spent money on its flagship project, and Kripke took revenge on us for voting for Trump on public services, and everything goes to hell in general.
@shubkin: Dexter got a great sequel, the last season was so good that it's easy to turn a blind eye to the lumberjack at the end of the original series. And that's it, the end, the spinoff in the past that Clara wanted, few people will go to watch.
@CharlesManson: well, at the time of Dexter's graduation, no one knew that there would be as many as 2 sequels) and Dexter had as many as TWO fucked-up endings, if the latter could be called such, given the sequel)
"The rage I should be feeling... She's gone. I'm just sad."
Thanks to Kripke for describing what we should experience from this ending. I just don't have the strength to hate it anymore. Thanks for what the Boys were like before. That's where we'll say goodbye.
I don't really understand the whole hating for the finals. Yes, it's not wow, but compared to the previous three or four episodes, it's a pretty normal series.
All the main lines were closed: Ashley, Stan Edgar, Ryan, and the Boys themselves - they were all more or less dismantled and somehow closed. The issue with the bad supers has also been resolved. Gen V wasn't particularly interested in the spin-off, so I don't care about their fate.
Overall, the season was a bit weak, that's right. But I can't call the ending shit. It's really better than what was in the finales of GOT and the original Dexter wound.
The series, in my opinion, could have been safely packed into three seasons - and it would have been much cooler. Especially if the same money for five seasons was thrown at three. It would have been a really high-quality project. And so, well, the finale is more or less normal, but the last episodes before it were a bit hard to watch.
@kmanaenkov: the same feelings, after 7 episodes I already decided not to wait for the wow effect from the finale, and just relax without the stuffiness, and quite an episode (although I can understand almost everyone who is hating), I was only bothered by this whole finale with Butcher, like Ala Daenerys and the bells, like we already knew that he he wanted to extinguish them, but after achieving the goal, he was on reflection, and then he deliberately muddied this topic so that Hugh killed him, strangely strange, but there is something there
@kmanaenkov: I really agree that the series could have been put into three seasons. the fifth season is very similar to the fourth in that they are both not as bright as the first three (by the way, this applies to another Kripke brainchild: if they had stopped at three seasons, it would have been a masterpiece)
@u1846764: I also agree, I actually dreamed that it would be twice as long, and in retirement I would be sitting like Clint Eastwood on the porch of my house, drinking beer and watching an episode in the evening from the very beginning, and they just finished.
Unfortunately, the mega-bomb that we were promised all the time in the finale didn't happen, but the blood, meat, guts, and action that we loved so much about the series did. The first and second seasons were like a breath of fresh air, a look at the supers from the other side, and not the boring Marvel. Then we deviated more into the characters, but that was cool too, we waited for every episode. This season has passed a lot from beginning to end, but maybe someday there will be time to review the entire series in one gulp from beginning to end and the emotions will be different, but so far there are mixed feelings from the finale.
We're definitely going to miss the most charismatic of all the series characters, this little French ringleader, damn it!
A weak season is a weak ending. I won't say that it's completely bad, but let's be honest, we all clearly expected something else here. It's a pity that the final seasons of great TV series have been dumped into the garbage chute lately, along with the hopes and expectations of fans. The curse of Season 5 is in action.
Thanks to the series for its vivid images and good characters (Home, Soldier Ackles, Deep in his stupidity, Edgar, cynical mu*ak Butcher, Kimiko, and even kind Huey), but the series went from a good parody (deconstruction) of superheroics to a moment when it became a parody of American politics. Recent seasons have not raised the stakes in any way, they have been dragging their feet, chattering and pacing from side to side. Everything that looked new at the beginning (matyuki through the word, porn references and rare "meat") We see it all the way to the end, but loving the series for it is such a thing. At least thanks for some of the catchy emotional moments before the last episode, thanks to the actors who played great.
Still, I expected Butcher to pull the trigger. And Ryan will leave his powers (because they are innate) and survive the virus, becoming the only real superman. But spinoffs won't sell themselves that easily, apparently there are plans for those that follow the plot of the series.
Rest in peace Terror, both an on-screen and a real doggie actor 😥
I'll mention one more small point. Fan theories were a thousand times more interesting than what was eventually shown. 1) Theory- Noir had his tongue torn off or replaced with someone else. A TV series? Just "he's in character" 2) The theory is that a Homelander is manipulated by a Saint, sending visions to him and pursuing his own selfish goals. It sounded pretty realistic, because this character didn't exist before, and then Home started catching glitches. A TV series? There's no connection at all, just a coincidence. 3) Theory- the characters of "Generation V" will participate in the battle with Homelander. Given that Mary can manipulate blood, it was thought that she would resurrect someone or affect the drug in the Homelander's blood. A TV series? A five-minute cameo and zero real involvement in the plot)))) 4) Theory- Maeve will appear in the last season. Well, there's not much to say here, because she was deprived of her powers and in fact she has nothing to do, but as a cameo they could have shown themselves. 5) A lot of theories about the role of the Soldier, everything turned out to be wrong, the old man went to bed and did not even participate in the finale
I won't touch on Home's death itself. There were a lot of "wishlist", to the point that he would have been torn apart by an angry crowd. I'm just going to share a little fan creativity, where there's more epic and atmospheric in a minute than in the entire last season.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPnN8bABA7o
@Mr_Knight: Marie Moreau was treated delusionally in general, Starlight told her in the spinoff that it was necessary to fight back and fight, in the last episode she suddenly says that it is not necessary to fight back at all, in this she already says that it is necessary to fight back but in her own way (to save people)
@Mr_Knight: there is a feeling that it was possible to quickly retake the finale, taking into account the fan comments)
And yes, I've been thinking about the Soldier, too... They didn't even show him briefly in the finale, let alone take a minute to show his reaction to what happened.
@savlan: when reading fan theories is more interesting than watching a TV series, the scriptwriters don't really strain themselves. If the script doesn't work, if the movie didn't work out, then the scriptwriters also made a fucking nude.
@-Holycow-: Well, didn't the movie work out when only the last 2 episodes got out? The series has consistently maintained high ratings, as shown by absolutely all platforms. I think this just shows how big a fan community can be, which is already living its life generating its own individual scenarios) It just still has nothing to do with the screenwriters. Yes, the finale could have been more epic, you can't argue, but the bigger the community, the harder it is to please, especially in a topic like the finale.
@savlan: Season 2, don't understand why, for the sake of nothing, the finale of the 3rd was delayed and sewn on like a sleeve to a mare, of course, of course
Is that what the series was all about? The series that made fun of everything that was in superheroics ended the way all superheroics ends. The series couldn't surprise me at all.
I was already hoping that maybe if in the final shots, another high-speed super blows up Annie by the road, then this will somehow brighten up the series, and the series will wrap up well. But even that wasn't the case.
Well, for example, in the battle with Homelander, it turns out that Cypher fucked up our gang and she still had her powers and this was some kind of her plan. That would be a twist, just a twist. Or do screenwriters consider their audience to be dumb and unable to digest a complex twist?
Generation V just got the fuck leaked. It's just a failure from Amazon. Butcher was leaked, purely to state that the "heroes" also died in the last episode. This whole line lasts 5-7 minutes.
@Paramelion: Even if they had, as in this meme, maybe it would have turned out better.
"In the finale of Boys, it will be revealed that Huey is actually a patient at a psychiatric clinic where he is being treated by Dr. John and Billy the nurse. Huey is in love with nurse Annie from another shift and calls all the other patients and visitors "super." He was admitted to the clinic after a severe mental injury.: his girlfriend was hit by a car, and Huey himself is convinced that it was a superhero with super speed.
A disgusting ending, 0 drama, a shameful final battle, the boys' story armor is 9999lvl, the power of love and friendship kills the main character, the remaining supers do not try to do anything to the boys after killing Homelander. 1/10. It was clear that they wanted to finish the series as soon as possible, and it didn't matter what quality the ending would be.
@Paramelion: The series has shown more than once how a Homelander kills any superman with laser vision, and for them, 100% of the time, it was lethal, well, except maybe Soldier Boy and Maeve for obvious reasons. Why would Butcher be immune to lasers? He shot at it so many times, but there wasn't a scratch on it, although he could have split and quartered it in a second, like Kimiko in episode 1. I remember the laser grid from Resident Evil... That's what a laser should do. In addition, given the strength of the Homelander, he could kill supers with 1 hit without V1, which was shown earlier. The butcher should have died with 1-2 strokes at most. The answer is simple, the script underestimated the strength of one in favor of the other in order to finish this series faster.
@Shakil427: That's what I'm saying, even if we assume that Kimiko somehow strengthened, Butcher didn't strengthen in any way and he should have been split)
@Shakil427: there was no hope since the middle of the season, plus before the release of the final episode, Kripke said that he would make it bad on purpose, like this message
It's a weak season, but the ending is tolerable in my opinion. All deaths are expected, but Terror is a pity. (And I'm happy for Huey, let him live a little bit in peace.
Somehow, I don't even know. The soldier was simply leaked, it would have been better to go where he wanted, heroes from Generation Vi appeared, but not to say that the episode needed them. I still haven't watched the second season, and after the cancellation of the series, it's like it's not necessary anymore, although in the third season it would be possible to show the world after the Boys finale.
I don't feel sorry for Deep, the ending of Homelander and Butcher was obvious, although I imagined the fight in the Oval differently, on a larger scale, more brutally. In some episode, the third or something. A Homelander glitch was shown where he cuts out crowds of people with a laser from his eyes, but this season he seems to be holding back in everything. They took the guy by surprise, became dumber and constantly waits for something.
One good thing is that Huey has actually found a new job, and that's not all.
P.S. It's time to finally read the original comic, since the series is over.
Seriously?! And this is the final episode of the entire series! Absolutely no emotions, we were so looking forward to this episode, but we got this. Of course, everyone was already expecting this kind of shit, but not that much! We should have fired the scriptwriters and replaced them with fans who had crazy ideas for the ending. The only thing I liked about it was that Butcher killed Homelander, that's ALL. Well, the death of Depth. I'm happy for Huey and Annie, but it's a little vanilla. Marie, Emma, and Jordan both showed up and left. Although in the last episode, Annie asked them for help, and in the end they got a job as taxi drivers.
I can't call the finale a failure, but there's not even a sense of mega-epicness. Rather, the ending is just average. It causes almost no emotions, largely because the lead-up to the denouement was weak.
The Homelander got what he deserved, presenting himself in front of everyone in his real pathetic form. Everything seems logical, but perhaps it was worth not killing him or killing him not immediately, but leaving him exhausted so that he would humiliate himself and do about what he promised Butcher, groveling before anyone.
Butcher's death at the hands of Huey seems to be a dramatic moment, but it also somehow didn't touch much. This can be said about all lines. For me, it wasn't the finale that failed Kripke, but rather almost everything that preceded it this season. Putting the ending of the Boys on a par with Game of Thrones, Stranger Things and Dexter (twice) I wouldn't. Still, everything is better here.
@alexeyfalko: Yes, it also seems to me that leaving a Homelander alive without superpowers would be a tougher and cooler decision than just killing him.
I haven't watched this episode, but I hope that the Homelander's powers will be taken away and put in prison. Well, when he gets out, he'll go to Banshee Town.
Judging by the strength of Homelander in the last episode, he was given a syringe of heroin instead of V1, otherwise I can't explain why Butcher was on the same level of strength with him, and if Butcher was always so strong, then why didn't he just go and rip up Home like Newman didn't have V1 yet Now, after the imminent failure of Boys Mexico, we are waiting for the sixth season of Boys, where Stan Edgar resurrects Homelander so that he can continue to make meme faces and bring money to Amazon.
The budget of the series is 0 rubles 0 kopecks. In all the seasons, there has not been a single large-scale disaster - at least to freeze a river, arrange an earthquake, or strike lightning from the sky. Even Butcher wasn't torn apart from the inside by a self-aware tangle of tentacles. It's literally the ending of "this is how Season 3 would have ended if Ryan hadn't pushed Grandpa."
Also, Butcher, without a goal, a son and a dog, literally went to kill himself about Huey. It was obvious that he didn't need any virus, even if he released it, he still wouldn't know what to do next. Sadly. They could at least show that he and Becca ended up meeting in heaven.
In an ideal world, the boys would have some kind of multi-layered master plan that would exploit all the vulnerabilities of Homelander and include things from each of the five seasons. But in the end, Sage just came up with a formula for a Solo Fight in one episode and... that's it. Getting into the White House is easier than ever, using the "Fuck" tunnel. But the enemies know about it, so they're waiting for us there... people with machine guns. Wow. Well, the good thing is that the Homelander does not fly away from the location during the battle in order to save the Amazon budget. And the virus against soups, as the main theme of the fifth season of Boys and the entire Gen V series, led to nothing.
As far as that's all... without imagination? It was as if they were looking for the shortest and most effective way to end the series rather than the most interesting one.
Homelander's phrase "I could have killed you so many times, but I didn't kill you" describes the entire series in essence. From the first season to the finale of the fifth, the Homelander is becoming less and less of a threat to the boys. He comes to the same places where they are, waits for them in ambush, etc., but always lets them go for the sake of continuing the plot. Unfortunately, it is impossible to believe in the reality of what is happening. The man has such power that he killed the president of the United States and did not face any consequences. Since he is omnipotent, he can destroy anyone, it is logical that in the end he would surround himself with an army of soups, through which the current composition of the boys would not have passed in any way. But in the end, they show us a couple of people with machine guns in a closed room and two soups that flew off without a chance. The scale of what is happening is completely fucked up. It's also funny that the whole series teases the final departure of the Homelander cuckoo with sad consequences for ordinary people, but in the end, even in the last episodes, everything was limited to the fact that he was filming a fucking commercial and depends on the opinion of the focus group. For me, boys became a story about how the most terrifying villain of the series turned into one of the most pathetic gangsters. I was only pleased with the way the scene of his death was set up, he died like a real nobody.
@MadaraSolo: I also don't understand why, with such unlimited power, the Homelander with his megalomania and God complex continues to please focus groups. Perhaps we can somehow try to justify this through psychology, that he longs for love from everyone and everything, but it seems to me that it would be much more interesting for the plot if, at least in the final episodes, he still caught a quirk and distributed the action. It's amazing that the cruelest thing he did was actually in the very first season, and the less he was controlled by Vaught, the less tin he committed (although it would seem the opposite should be the case)…
@MadaraSolo: And there is no army of supers. In the first season, they tell us 200 supers per America, 1 per city. Then they show 50 pieces in an orphanage, 100 pieces in a university, and 50 pieces dying in a nursing home. A total of 400. Of these, about 100 were killed in 5 seasons of Boys and 2 seasons of Vi. That leaves 300. Then we're postulated that a strong, handsome super like Maeve is a rarity, mostly suckers like throwing up acid and burning themselves, eating the earth and shitting the earth. Let it be 30% normal. That leaves 100 people. Some of them are very situational like a techno-king - if it weren't for the millions of dollars of 11 generations of his family, then his super-perception would not be particularly useful. I remind you, in the vault where B1 was stolen from the safe, they say that Butcher and MM know a little more than 10 strong dudes who can break down a wall.
There are 20-25 literate dangerous supers of the old/new Noir level all over the world. Half of whom will kill each other for a tasty position or their director will fail so that the 2nd Homelander does not grow out of them. In general, as for the fight in the White House, after Butcher's death, there will statistically be 10-15 really dangerous capable supers. There was no army, and there never will be.
Why did you need 2 seasons of "Generation V"? So that Marie Moreau, with her imbued blood control ability, could work as a bus driver at the end of the Boys and transport people across the border in a truck?
@replicant, well, no, for Kripke to say that we need another Generation season in which Marie would train and learn how to manage her powers, because she is still a child. And Ryan, by the way, is not a child.
What can I say, the series came out as average as expected. I can't say that it was completely bad, but it wasn't good either. Lately, I've often heard the theory that Homelander would end up with a massacre, but unfortunately it didn't materialize. Personally, it seems to me that this was not enough. Home's line ended as expected, he was always a pathetic psycho with just a lot of strength, and as soon as he lost them, it's not surprising, he was ready to suck on everyone at once, as long as they didn't kill him, and the fact that it was all live is generally the icing on the cake. Deep also died quite predictably and ironically, I liked it. And thank God that Starlight, at least in the last episode, remembered that she can not only wave her fists, but also shine a light. Sage well... Just a useless character, fuck her, she was added incomprehensibly from the word at all, and she also ran out of arc just to merge. Another disadvantage for me is how Butcher's story ended. Like I knew he was going to die, but I expected more tin. Well, in conclusion, the ending turned out to be too sugary for me, and if Kripke hadn't moved away from the comic so much, it would have turned out better.
Just what an epic battle! I was expecting something so big! And Annie with Depth, and Butcher with Homelander... And of course Kimiko, when the Frenchman appeared, I just shed a tear.. Homelander is really just a jerk, I didn't expect him to just give up.. Butcher is really sorry, I think Huey is right, he was a good person more.. It's so easy to cry! He really is a hero! But now I'm next to my wife as I wanted)) Basically a very warm end)) Now I'm waiting for the spin-off about the Soldier))
@Jeronimoo: reading your comments makes me even a little envious. No matter how lousy the series is, it's always full of joy and positivity. Without trying to hurt or offend in any way :)
Well, everything turned out to be quite predictable, except that instead of the soldier, who was completely miserably merged in the last episode, Homa deprived Kimiko of her abilities. In this episode, the number of incompetently merged Persians has broken through all imaginable and inconceivable limits, I don't even want to say anything about it. On the positive side, it's only Ashley and Ryan, and Huey, who symbolically returned to where it all started. It's a pity that Kripke, in his attempts to make fun of everything, completely forgot that the Boys are not only about sarcasm and satire, but also about the most powerful plot, characters and meaning, which, alas, is not observed in the last season.
A dumb ending. There are a lot of inconsistencies, holes, and stupid decisions. There is no drama at all (it is there, but it is not felt). The plums were really better and more interesting.
The only advantage is the Homelander's death. They showed it correctly, I was afraid they wouldn't be able to. The character got the ending he deserved.
The rest is a complete mess. Remember the posters where the Homelander in space looks at the burning Earth, and Butcher walks through the ruins of the Vaught Tower. Where is it? We were deceived in a despicable way.
As a result, the series and the entire season were drained, unfortunately.
I thought it would be bad, but on the whole it suddenly turned out to be decent. However, I couldn't help but think that the final season was supposed to be a movie. A big, expensive Amazon movie, maybe even in a movie, because the last seven hours of pouring from empty to empty were filled with a broth-concentrated finale.
Most of the questions were answered. In general, I still didn't understand the fuck to invent Kimiko's power if there was a Soldier (apparently, to freeze Ackles for another spin-off), and also the fuck to merge Gen V so stupidly (They say there was a plan for season 3, but Amazon canceled everything, so they went to Canada anyway). It was also kind of ridiculous that Terror died at exactly the right moment, but considering that the real dog actor also died after filming, it even turned out to be somehow poetic. The other branches... Well, OK? The fact that Homelander and Butcher will fight without abilities in the end was not predicted, it seems, only lazy, Ryan also came back to help, Deep was predictably torn apart by sharks, Sage got her peace, Ashley got a character arc and a funny ending, Huey and Annie got the expected happy ending... In general, everything is VERY predictable, but not bad. Personally, for me, at least MM should have left for the drama (in the scene with bullets in the corridor from the ceiling, because he and Kimiko stupidly hugged each other out of there, I can't believe that he escaped the bullets at all...although even when he gets shot by Huey in the episode with the hospital, she also magically evaporates). I'm glad that the final confrontation was between Huey and Butcher, it seemed to be more personal than a big fight, it was a good decision, and even in the hall of Seven. And the fact that Butcher finally changed his mind but decided not to tell Huey is also a good decision.
@Lavash: In general, as soon as the authors needed to solve plot problems abruptly, rather than making endless political jokes (which I have nothing against, but not when they are more important than the plot), it turns out that everything can work! And Kripke suddenly remembers that Huey has wit and technical knowledge, wow! I've hardly thought about it since the first season! I'm incredibly pleased with the finale, and I hope Amazon won't milk the Boys until they're exhausted. The way the last two seasons have been going, I expected a MUCH dumber ending. Well, the winner, of course, was Stan Edgar. I wonder if Esposito will ever play Gus Fring again in his life?
I thought it would be bad, but on the whole it suddenly turned out to be decent. However, I couldn't help but think that the final season was supposed to be a movie. A big, expensive Amazon movie, maybe even in a movie
Well, the ending was a movie))) They played it in American cinemas, people paid money to watch this absurdity for an hour. The fact that there is no smell of quality, yes. But they've made some money! Profit, as they say. I didn't watch the DVD, but it was also played in cinemas, and then people spat that there was no ending. But there doesn't seem to be any scale, there are some kind of monsters. But what is there to watch on the big screen, a five-minute fight in one office?
It's a pity for terror, It's a very strange moment with asterisks' pregnancy, i.e. they have blood there, murders, and then they immediately show how cliched they are and they urgently need a child, well, everything else seems to have already been said.
Congratulations to everyone, it's over. And what about the final episode? She's normal (I was expecting a complete disaster, maybe that's why it was normal), but unfortunately, the season itself can't be called "wow": more or less episodes were from 1 to 3, and then a dream (that is, the situation is like with season 4: 8 episodes, but at least some-that is, 3-4 ideas). What didn't I like? Ryan's line is, of course, a joke: the Persian disappeared at the moment for about 3-4 episodes and burst into the very center in the final episode (yes, I understood that since they remembered about him, he had to do something, but it still looked ridiculous). Throwing the Soldier back and forth because of what Clara wanted, and then freezing him again (I wonder if this is done for his future series? Do the marketing people understand that most people won't want to watch this after the not-so-great final season of the main series? No? Well, they know better. I think the series will last, God willing, 2 seasons, like "Gen V", and flop). The character Sage... no comment. The smartest person (in words rather than deeds) from season 4 fucked up in this and is no longer the smartest - both metaphorically and literally after the final episode... haha (most of all, it's a shame for the actress, who is more or less trying, but no luck with the Persian, I hope she will play somewhere else, but better than the prescribed character). The guys from Gen V, the series that I abandoned after the first season because I was no longer interested in watching anymore (considering how others appeared in the fourth season, I didn't want to watch the second season), but the blood woman/blood magician who was predicted to kill Homelander, well, or at least she seriously wounds him so that the same Butcher can finish him off — first they just send her to fuck, and then they instruct her to bring people to Canada (what prevented the blood woman from staying and helping while her friends transported civilians is unclear). I would also like to say a little bit about the promotional materials for this season, on which the arch-episode takes place: A Homelander in space looks at the exploding Earth. As a result, there is nothing like this in the series, because, most likely, the "geniuses" on Amazon have squeezed money for their most flagship project ("Invulnerable," by the way, is also waving a pen), but for "Rings of Power," which, according to my feelings, most people don't give a fuck after the first season, they are his we extended it for another 2 (so to speak, we "pour it in" out of spite, otherwise I can't explain it). I could also have said about the arch of immortality or the virus, but I was already confused, but in short: why was it all necessary if, as a result, Kimiko, having received the powers of a Soldier, deprives Home of all his powers, and as a result, what does he have immortality, what does not... in general, meh. To summarize: the series was supposed to end on season 3, but alas, 2 more came out (thanks for not 15, as with the other Kripke project), and because of this, we got another series that took off loudly and landed very well, sadly. I'll review the entire series at my leisure, give it a final assessment, and close this part of my life. It's funny that I left my first review on this site for the 4th season of "Boys", and now I'm writing a review for the finale. Thank you if you read all this writing to the end, share your opinion about the series, but for now — bye.
I also expected the final meat grinder, but as it is. Generation Vi was also introduced for some reason, I already thought Marie Moreau and her lover would somehow participate in the final, but no. Well, goodbye Guys. It was fun all 5 seasons anyway)
it's hard, this is the beginning of the series and this is the end, with the death of Terror and Butcher, I felt sad, but what can I do in the comics is even darker, as it turned out, of course it could have been much better, but well, a bientôt)
Dear diary, I can't find the words to describe the pain and humiliation I felt when watching this shit. It's a shame. I've never been a fan of superheroics, but even I understand that this is some kind of pi$dec. I can't imagine what's going on in the hearts of the fans. The finales of "IP" and "OSD" could still be somehow justified by the impotence of the creators. But here, it's a deliberate spit at the fans. Kripke turned out to be, in fact, even more Trump than Trump himself. Why is he like that, why? I don't think he'll get off with a simple hit. It would be better for him to hire more guards and sit in a bunker for six months until everything settles down.
The final episode itself... Not so bad? Well, for the most part. And if it hadn't been preceded by several seasons (especially the entire 5th!) Kripe's boob-and-pussy leftist nonsense with its "deep satire" (even in the finale, he couldn't resist killing the "Mask") - then this finale would even be... Did it work? The only problem is that the show has become such a shitty parody of itself that no one gives a shit about it, the ending, or death. Even Frenchy's funeral had to be vulgarized with a tirade about anuses. YES, WE GET IT, KRIPKE. And it would be fine if there was one joke in the spirit of Frenchy, "you're my family, because I've seen all your assholes, but what could be closer?", but no, you need to repeat it 20 times, and then clarify what he drew on the will. And such moments completely ruined even the positive things that can be isolated in rare good minutes. I'm surprised Butcher's funeral didn't cause the same kind of vulgarity-it was even a little touching, which Butcher, unlike Frenchy, definitely didn't deserve. And I'm not even saying that they dug Frenchy up somewhere in the middle of nowhere with a wooden cross . P.S. I especially yelled at how they convinced us for 2 seasons of Gen V that this was the most important show, that it would play a role, that Marie Moreau was the strongest Homelander-level soups, blah blah, and then the show They closed it down, and Marie was put in a truck to take the refugees out of the show. The same goes for the virus - for a total of almost 4 seasons for 2 series, the virus was a McGuffin, and then... he was no longer needed, they fucked up "Kimiko the Soldier" for an episode, and that's it. And in fact, it was a useless plot waste of time, which served only as a "bone of contention" for Butcher's death, but it could have been dispensed with, and certainly not wasting so much time on the plot of the virus. It's a pity that the channel's management is as beaten up as Kripke, and the show has become a psychotherapy room for their sick hatred of the government. A parody of a parody.
The final episode doesn't bring out this absolutely mediocre season. I'm too lazy to even analyze this nonsense: the audience's theories were much cooler. The ending in the comics is ten times bigger than a 5-minute fight in the Oval Office. Kripke finally slipped into a banal agenda — the Homelander's speech was far-fetched for the sake of another jab at Trump and Musk (sent to space??)
The denouement of Butcher and Huey's relationship generally looks like a hasty attempt to close plot holes. It feels like the showrunner just ticked off a notebook: Sage was leaked, a check; Kimmico was given strength, a check; Homelander was killed, a check; Depth, as the last of the seven, was killed in 2 minutes, a check; the CEO was returned to Wout (probably for spin—offs), a check; Huey was given a happy end check. Oh yes, Butcher!.. Well, let's come up with something on the knee.
The series itself is more like a passing episode from the middle of the season, but not an epic finale. Our team's fight against the villains is a joke to the chickens. The depth was drained in five strokes and a push into the sea, the preacher was gagged in a couple of minutes, and the Homelander was simply stomped in three minutes in one office, without even changing the location! Yes, in "Heroigasm" Makhach looked a hundred times bigger.
The series itself is great, I've watched it every year since the first season. It's a shame for the finale, in terms of the level of merger for me as a sole proprietor or a sole proprietor. It's just very sad and hurtful.
@PolskiyKid: I also wonder where Edgar got from and how he was put back into the post of director? well, just for a couple of minutes behind the scenes, everything happens by itself and no questions asked... That's the level of study
A lot has been said, most of it even without insulting the showrunner. On my own, I want to say that the series was not the most boring, but also not worked out. It's too corny. Personally, my opinion is that the Homelander didn't deserve to die, the punishment is too simple. I would have left him alive, without strength, without influence, lonely and worthless. So that he could live in his 2x2 cell and slowly die of impotence.
Well, I'm happy for Sage. She was so genuinely happy about the lack of superintelligence)) Finally, the girl will live peacefully))
The ending would have been stronger if Home had been left to live out his worthless life as a homeless man, but Bucher still released the virus, but Huey killed him trying to stop him.
Disappointment. Welcome to the club of merged finals, Boys It was hoped that Kripke would still remember what this series was about and show a realistic ending, where Homelander simply tears up Butcher and Co., begins to destroy entire cities, search for "infidels" No, catch jokes about anuses, cocks, a quick fight with Homies in the White House
Butcher was upset that Ryan rejected him, Terror died, and decided it was time to do the RCN.. However, he didn't have the guts, so he had to be killed by Huey.
Today we are gathered here to remember the Boys - a series that challenged superheroics, held up well for 3 seasons, but in the end turned into something it struggled with.
Well, there's nothing to say, to be honest. Everything was said for me above.
I liked Butcher's ending. The whole series showed that he knows how to live only with regrets about the death of his closest people, of whom, in fact, he had only two: Becca and Lenny, and then Hugh at the end, and that's because he resembles his brother. Butcher had already shown mercy and lied to Hugh that he would have pressed the button anyway so that the kid's conscience wouldn't torment him.
Homelander was leaked. They said all season that he was a rag without his powers (and he wasn't afraid with his powers anymore), which he eventually turned out to be, but it was an idiotic scenario, because throughout the series we were led to believe that the constantly restrained Homelander would simply demolish the tower and start shredding everything. on his way, Butcher will not be so despondently begging for mercy. It's a pity, in the first season, he just rattled the audience's nerves at the moment when he asked Frenchy about the truck. As an antagonist, he deserved a better plot ending.
I thought the version with Marie and her manipulation of blood was a primitive ending, but here they just did what they planned in the last episode))) Even the usual superhero series don't end that way... Even the most ridiculous and stupid outcome would be better than this.
@babydogma: Yes, I would say that on the contrary, it ended worse than Marvel, much worse. At least there was scale and epic, but there was a fight that was inferior even to the CW series.
Ironically, the Marvels were ridiculed, and in the end they ended up 10 times worse than them, but useless spin-offs began to be stamped one after another.
P.S. Interest in the franchise died with such a mediocre ending, I don't know who will continue to be interested in watching the "universe".
The most vanilla ending for housewives turned out. Just two episodes ago, they wanted to kill all the supers and were preparing for this by attaching a virus to the scene, the ladies prepared their boys that they did not want to live without them and were ready to die, because the great goal is more important. And healthy again! Bang, Butcher, I didn't want this, it just happened, look, I have balls, but I still didn't want to kill you (and I, stupid bastard, don't understand that if there was one filled with power and permissiveness, then there will definitely be another, because the way well-trodden, but power corrupts, history is cyclical) (c) a whiner and good-for-nothing Huey, who for some reason was suddenly offered a job by the President. How they went to the White House is a cringe, of course. Only Ashley smiled, and the gun went off just in time. The battle in the Oval is as simplified and flattened as possible, but at least it's a fight that's been missing all this season. Ryan showed up, although I was glad of it, but where did he get so much strength against baty, if in the first episodes of the season it was only thanks to the will and kindness, I'm not afraid of this word, that he stayed alive? About the fact that both Home, Butcher, and Ryan were supposed to take off, they wrote above. But here again, miracles, Home is not omnipotent, immortal and the coolest super, but purely at the end of the top 5 dozen))) And yes, if you really want to make a real happy ending in the style of Boys, then Butcher's plan must be implemented: all the supers will die, he will live with Ryan or without and search for his meaning of life (which is a hundredfold more difficult), Huey inconsolably cries for his girlfriend, as in the first episode of season 1, MM is also variable (from death to what was shown, I don't care at all). But no, we will leave as many loopholes as possible to milk this "cow" to victory. And we will kill purely 2 antagonists , but we would like blood and bones .
God, it's a shame to end the series so badly. But how much pathos revolved around the series. It ended as a regular budget procedure, although there is a much smaller budget.
Was the ending okay? There aren't even any special complaints. Predictable and banal? Yes. But for the disgrace that this series has become, these are not even disadvantages anymore. And the whole season could be safely shortened to a slightly extended one episode. Anyway, Homelander's "immortality" didn't really make any sense. After all, they couldn't defeat him before that. To hell with this franchise, its spinoffs, and so on :)
the finale is as sterile and toothless as possible, without a drop of creativity; throughout the season, it was clear how the scriptwriters, in addition to having no balls, had already run out of imagination and they just pulled as hard as they could, but there was a small hope that at least for the final episode they retained their fuse and could still rekindle the extinguished flame and give out something interesting, but no... they just pissed on this light and trampled it into the ground; as a result, instead of the welcome fresh sip at the end, the finale feels like a series that has been incapacitated for a couple of seasons and just rotted alive has finally exhausted itself and died, so now you can get rid of the corpse and breathe a sigh of relief - as an audience as well as everyone involved in its creation, because of the lack of ideas and endless self-repetition, it is not difficult to assume that they themselves have long been tired of it; fortunately, at least they did not stretch it for another seven seasons, although with the right desire it was not difficult to make a really interesting and rich story, having met the same time in five, especially considering that's how much we originally planned; well, okay, we have what we have
The series will still remain one of my favorites, although it's sad that literally every next part of the franchise (including Generation V) was worse for me than the previous one.;
@garbisik: >i will review the first two or three seasons with great pleasure, and I will probably review the others more than once (well, except for the fifth)
Well, purely that Star Wars fan from the Simpsons🤣
It's a shame, but after season 3, the Boys turned into boring shit . Season 5 is disgusting as the series finale.
I despise the serial balance of power between the characters. At the beginning of the season, the Homelander beams Kimiko in half, and in this episode he didn't even damage his clothes. The damage from the rays works exclusively on the tentacles, which seem to tear Newman in half, but the heroes are 100% stronger than these tentacles. The Homelander is able to keep up with Atrain, but is unable to dodge Butcher's attacks or escape. At the same time, all HL is under the influence of B1, rays to space, incredible power))0 The whole battle of the strongest supers takes place in one office, and there the camera wasn't even hit and the walls weren't broken. What kind of trash is this? Deepa is killed by marine life. Just a tentacle through and through. how? Bullets don't take a man, but here the fish pierce right through. Where do dozens of inhabitants of the depths spawn from the shore in 1 second? Why is there not the slightest logic at all
The very decision to give Kimiko a Soldier's blast is just nonsense. They came up with it in episode 7, they implemented it there, and already at 8 they killed Homelander. Why shouldn't any regen soup be given an ultimate weapon? In 1 day, the same is done
If you delete line B1, then nothing will change in the plot. You can still kill a Homelander with poison and remove a scalpel in front of the camera.
The Soldier's line is simply shocking. Why was it unfrozen? For the sake of the prequel? Okay Why did they show us the Vi Generation with absolutely zero impact on the plot? Just to make it happen? Okay
The 5/8 episodes of the season are half-full crap, but the Homelander and the Dip merge in 30 minutes (!!). What's it? Literally, the arcs of the two characters of the first plan are being closed at a rapid pace because well, everything is already final
MM and Ryan didn't like the ending. Generally. How did MM get together with his ex-wife and what is the reason for this? When was the last time anyone even thought about her? Why did Ryan stay with MM instead of Zoey?
Naming an unborn child after a former one, even if it's dead, is such a thing. It would have been better if Huey had been named after his father or Butcher. And the Homelander should have been left to live out his life humiliated, exhausted and forgotten by everyone, for him it is much worse than death.
The season is slightly better than the previous one (the previous one was really bad), but I liked the finale. He's kind of logical, very simple and straightforward, all the bad ones are punished, all the good ones live a good life, everything is as it should be. I'm more than happy with the series finale. I'll miss you.
What the fuck was that? I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to save so much on the budget that they would loop a plot in which a Homelander is blown to death by an Atrain with the words "A ROCKET IS FLYING TOWARDS YOU"…
@kwyjibo42: there are definitely a bunch of poor devils who are trying to make leftists the main problem of the series. It's not that the series stood still after the first season and refused to change the status quo in any way.
@shubkin: the series did not stand still, the plot developed quite succinctly until the end of the third season. The problems started when the spin-offs were being developed.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that only the right-wingers tore into the ending and the last season, I just had a thought when I read the comments here that a lot of people didn't like the fact that the creators made too many allusions to Trump and the current US government in general. It just seemed to me that initially soups were disguised powers that be, that is, a homelander is the president of the United States / nuclear bomb/military industrial complex. that's why everyone is afraid of him, that's why everything is allowed to him.
It doesn't seem to be the most difficult thought, but perhaps the media literature of this series is lower than I thought.
But yes, my initial comment is not entirely correct.
@kwyjibo42: usually people just watch the series, and they don't look for allusions and references in the series, they just need entertainment and relaxation, and when instead they are shoved with a crooked propaganda about bad people, well, they probably get in a bad mood... Still, they just dream of seeing a parody of stupid right-wingers on TV, it's just the pinnacle of art.
Judging by the comments, there were indeed those who hoped for an adequate ending) Well, Eric Kripke is not an idiot, by any means. On the contrary, he is a genius. I made money off the people and walked around my penthouse smoking an expensive cigar. Well, or something like that. But the fact that he's a complete fucker, that's right. He fooled the audience, gloated in his public post about how we were all losers for watching this. Amazon and others like him will be promoted, because they bring a lot of money. Season 5 has become the most watched season, with popularity skyrocketing. It's a pity the product is crap, but why try if it brings as good as it does, and requires a minimum of resources and effort? The tendency to merge the finals is fucked up, but it's unlikely to stop because at first the viewer brings a lot of money for this and every time more and more and in the finale they fuck up. And from the viewer's side, it's difficult to predict failure, especially if the beginning is very good. I didn't doubt for a second that the ending of very strange cases would be bad. Well, the result is exactly the opposite. The boys fill up the piggy bank. So even xs has something to say. I don't give a fuck, maybe sooner or later something will come to these assholes, but it's unlikely.
It's so fucked up and worthless to merge one of the best villains in the history of the series, you still have to try, and they fucking tried. In short, guys, the final is bullshit.
It's sad to see your once-beloved TV series slipping away. I remember watching the first three seasons in one gulp and falling in love with this show. Now I'm feeling empty and a little disappointed. The ending isn't as bad as that of a sole proprietor or a sole proprietor, it's just too predictable and kind for such a cynical and gloomy universe. I don't know how it happened, but the first seasons looked much bigger. In the beginning, any super was a threat: he could just swat the heroes like bugs, but now the boys have such armor that it's hard for them to empathize. There are a lot of unnecessary characters, lines that lead nowhere, and they result in a finale in which the conflict is resolved in half an hour. The worst thing is that you don't feel the weight of defeating Homelander. He was supposed to be the final boss, to defeat which the heroes would have to use all the weapons and knowledge accumulated over the previous seasons. As it was, the death of the invisible man at the very beginning felt more epic than the homelander.
As awesome as the last arc and ending was in the comics, Kripke's ending was so fucked up. However, he did it the whole series. Everything he didn't copy turned out to be bullshit. Except that he did a good job of being a submariner, as a completely original hero.
@bazatron: awesome last arc and ending was in the comics , what was so fucking great? A twist on Noir, this is not the last arc. XL is not the main "villain" there at all. After unwinding XL in one issue, there were probably 10 more issues where Butcher was Hugh, and the rest was with the establishment
Nothing good could be expected from the season. The ending turned out to be so terrible that it's hard to find the words. This nightmare is over, and thank God!
Sorry, it makes me really happy how the fans who were waiting for something are burning... it's like you didn't watch the last episodes or the last season, it's a pleasure to watch these comments, and since such a resonance occurred, Kripke did what he wanted, yes, he said that everyone was fucking from the finale and also said that almost everyone wouldn't like it)
@tanyabond: How Kripke subtly affected everyone by pissing himself in his pants! Viewers, as well as reviewers on YouTube, will admire his genius for many years to come. Not everyone can get on a par with such series as Game of Thrones and Stranger Things, albeit with certain nuances.
How could they not be ashamed to release such a thing? The whole series was based on Homelander, he's the best villain of the 21st century, and it's shameful to merge him in 3 minutes. It's blasphemy.
Those who didn't like the ending - what were you waiting for? You originally signed up to watch a TV series that absolutely makes fun of everything from zero seconds. Exactly the same thing was done with the ending, in the same style that we started with. If you need an explanation, there is a lot of information about the word "Satire" in the public domain.
How convenient it is in the homeland world to have people who actually read other people's minds as thought police. It smacks of desperation harshly. You sit there, look at the direct appeal of the crazy blandin to the nation and realize that if not immediately after the appeal, then everyone will be mowed down for some time. There, about 100 people from the country's population, including Homelander's entourage, will remain? Yes, the kitten is in shock.
@smepx: They say the same thing about AI, that superintelligence will see it, think about it and mow us all down, but we won't know it and will be instantly destroyed...
@smepx: I read for 10 minutes and put it on AI, since then we haven't seen God in person, maybe it will be like that with AI, he's out there somewhere, but we have no idea if it's a new religion, a new belief in AI, fiction or anti/utopia...
Why were the seven of them afraid of Homelander? The three of them just kicked him off, even before Kimiko's annealing! It's just nonsense, incompetent, very incompetent. Such a weak homelander couldn't lead at all, even with the top seven!! What are the words for?: we are waiting for them, Butcher and the team are ready for the arrival. Where are you ready? Did you want to kill two supers with ordinary bullets? Until the last moment, I thought that this was some kind of Doppler incarnated in home and that's why I was so exhausted in battle, because I didn't have his power. And after death, home will appear in front of everyone, as if he had been resurrected and there would be a hint of the second Jesus. And the whole team is already without their superpowers and just lost. Why don't they make any TV series without a happy ending? It is logical that there should be a dystopia. And then it was possible to film the battle with Moreau (Monroe) or whatever it was. They completed everything very poorly, very poorly. Who could even come up with such a stool?
The asterisk: You are not a child. For once, answer for yourself fucking Abyss:......noooo!!!
Something so comical, but childish) It's like you're a parent, you had a dialogue with a child who learned something, he listened to you, and then he kind of gave out something like what the Abyss gave out. And if some mom had filmed it like Rils, he would have gotten knocked up)
@Raitala1: Yeah, I've been thinking about that too. It was possible to immediately abandon it at the most remote point of the earth from the land and that would be the end of it. But apparently, she did what she thought was right. At first I tried to get through, but when I realized that it wouldn't work, I threw it into the water. Well, the fight wasn't exactly a long one, but it was just a moment of trying to convince me, so it's OK. But the fact that she wouldn't hurt the boys, that's right. Too. But in the end, I can summarize and settle on a simple "🤷♂️"
The ending is normal, although the series was painfully delayed, most of the storylines appeared out of nowhere and led nowhere, it's a pity that Butcher still failed to implement his plan.
Finally, the mockery of a once-good TV series is over and this mess was naturally closed with the stupidest ending. I hope the shit-eating scriptwriters won't be trusted with anything more serious than toilet paper ads in the future.
And what was that? Seriously? Is this the megafinal Kripke was talking about? Disappointment! Ideally, he should have been left alive as a human being, especially after he said he would suck and eat shit. He had to understand how to be a man and be afraid of everyone, to be a disgrace!
Eric Kripke tricked us! The first two seasons are amazing, the third is very good, the fourth is bad but tolerable, the fifth is just disgusting!
The ending is quite normal, the main thing is that everything is logical. I don't share the indignation of many, I didn't expect anything super cool from the boys' finale, and it just turned out to be a normal ending, and thank you for that. Snot, drool, and Homelander's pleas made a series)
@vayana: at the time when I was watching TV series, schoolchildren were not yet born, the endings were made better even for those that stretched over 20+ seasons.
So let me ask you, are these students in the same room with you?
@smepx: Can you all guarantee that you are all mature and "not schoolchildren"? Because the ending is so cool and they didn't understand it? Or are the expectations too high?
Well, yes, mb was overestimated by many. But from the point of view of the script and the plot lines, the plot is crumpled, although the lines were closed in a hurry, but it was hard and bad. It was possible to remove the dumb jokes from previous episodes and add more screen time to the characters.
But they didn't do that, so the ending is honestly weak. I don't care if you agree.
@vayana: poke. You're playing nitakushu here, and what kind of reaction did you expect? I think everything is justified, I hope you feel very nonconformist and special. Wasn't that what she wanted?
Well, thanks to this series for opening Anthony Starr to the world. And for the memes. The first three seasons of vanlav❤️Ashley is super. Thank you all.
@Mart1z: He recently starred in a thrash action movie and nothing good came of it. The home is the role of his whole life, and it won't be like that anymore, because it's a once-in-a-lifetime role. The same picture as Harry Potter, Dan will never be able to beat this role.
@Yumikuri: there's a series with him, "Banshee," which seems to be 5 seasons old, if I'm not mistaken, then the series was a bit of a success, but "Boys" is clearly higher
@skezzylabaf: I would advise him to find a TV series or a movie with a similar character, where he could embody his strong acting skills, like Jason Statham, so he plays in his action movies and lives a great life.
I agree that the Homelander man should have been left alive, but Ryan shouldn't have been exposed to radiation. Then Stan Edgar leads the Vout, then this is the cut with everyone, and the scene is a flash forward after the credits. Ryan, who has grown up, is the new face of the company, his portraits are everywhere, and so on. He comes to visit his dad in solitary confinement with a bag of milk, and he tells him with a completely insane smile that his son has a great future ahead of him. He listens to his son and smiles, there, there, there... Nothing has changed...
As it is, there is no effect from the series... It's over, and it's over, as they say. What's on the other channel?
Well, in fact, I watched the series only for the sake of Frenchy and Kimiko (okay, and for the sake of Ackles too). I thought that in the end everyone would die, and these two would ride off into the sunset beautifully, but alas:(
There have been so many theories for nothing. I was hoping for a dumb ending with Marie Moreau, but it turned out to be even dumber. I hoped that they would let Home live so that he would realize his worthlessness. The pot-bellied Asterisk at the end is not what we expected, but what we deserved.
@lilandra: Well, to be fair, he couldn't be allowed to live, he would have taken the drug again and started over. But his 5 minutes as a human were fun.
@lilandra: That's right, who wouldn't hate theater, but the episode in which Rick left Negan alive deserves an Oscar. He hated him perhaps more than anyone else, but he didn't kill him to atone for his sins. And then what, the psychopath Butcher killed an unarmed man for revenge, and who felt better, he was literally immediately slammed.
I watched the last episode and realized that I did the right thing by abandoning the series after season 3. In general, because it has already become some kind of rule - to start normally, and then, on a wave of popularity, create a game, they think it's necessary to go and just drain the rating for the whole series. I can forgive the same supers, where +- you can cut off the endings of certain arches and assume that the series has ended for a certain season. But for series with an end-to-end story for all seasons, it must initially be written with a good ending in the mind of the creators. Otherwise, it's even worse than an unfinished series - at least there's hope and scope for imagination.
There is no point in praising or scolding the final season of the series... Like many other shows, it clearly wasn't the best. It was obviously not the most dense in the plot. Many of the characters were "hacked" worse than in the last season of Mayantsev. Believe me, I've seen worse. Nevertheless, thanks to this series that it was. It was fun, dirty, trashy - in general, everything is as we like it))
What a joke and a cringe have made of homelander. He used to be a dangerous, unstable, unpredictable sociopath who kept the whole series going. Now he's a fool who's been saying things and threatening someone all season. He ended up as a minor villain and a sucker. And in general, this season definitely falls into the top of the biggest drains of TV series ever. It would have been fine if only the finale had been leaked, but somehow they managed to merge all 8 episodes.
It's sad, cheto, I just remembered the Supernatural, it's better not to let Kripke near the endings, let someone else do them. It's so hard, the series is over, it's better not to start watching the series or die before their endings than to be so sad after each closing of the series.
When you approach with low expectations, it seems to be normal. It seems to me that everything as a whole was crippled by the abrupt rewriting and closure after the second season of Generation V (It was still very annoying that the characters from there were not used in any way) And considering this, I think that it was not the worst way to finish and there was no unpleasant aftertaste. Therefore, sometime in the future, it will be possible to review, if not completely, your favorite moments with ease.
The Boys' finale is similar to the hype surrounding the battle between Mikhail and Lucifer in Supernatural. They expected the apocalypse, but they got a battle that was limited to one church, where they just hugged in flight. It's like Kripke made fun of his own project in the last episode.
@dmitryperets: yes, it was originally said that during the battle of two archangels, half of the planet would be wiped off the face of the earth, and as a result, rope flights)
Well, the ending is quite normal, but without the wow effect and if you don't look at some nuances. Of course, they squeezed the money, they wanted more scale, madness and tin, but everything somehow ended very rosily, there weren't enough deaths, the deaths of Home and Butcher were canon, but the same MM and Ryan could also be taken for example.
The season itself is very dull, some kind of filthy beach episode turned out, it was more interesting for me to watch season 4, but here some episodes were quite a burden, and all sorts of cameos are neither hot nor cold.
I didn't like that Home was turned into a complete idiot, he stopped being intimidating, his powers were also weakened, it was unclear when, what and how much he was working, and the eternal Trump references, it even seemed to me that the actor was being smeared with self-tanning for similarity. It used to seem like they were joking about everything, but these 2 seasons are just one party line.
I hope the franchise won't be heavily milked anymore, the spinoff about the soldier will be enough for them, and the eternal conveyor of what was ridiculed all the time will not begin. I love the Boys anyway, the first season is perfect, I'll definitely review it, the actors are great, I hope everyone will still have good roles.
The season is not without its flaws, of course, but it looks much better compared to the finale of Game of Thrones. At least the series won't be remembered for a piece of talk. You shouldn't have given a Homelander the ability to fly faster than a Train at the beginning of the season in order to make him a brake at the end. The contrast is too striking. The student body was also not treated in the best way. But there were also positive moments, it turned out quite cheerfully and cheerfully.
I wanted trash and for the first time in my life I DIDN't want a HAPPY ENDING . WHAT IS IT??? Why is everyone alive? Where is the promised "don't get attached to anyone" from Anthony?? The disappointment of the century, I was hoping for a completely different ending 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I understand all the indignation, because what the series ridiculed in the first season, namely the superhero, ended up like a classic Marvel movie, BUT! I love sugar-vanilla endings, and when the power of friendship wins, that's why I'm personally happy with the ending, everything ended very logically and I'm happy with that. Of course, it's sad to say goodbye, but I think I've had enough of "boys".
star, Urban, Ackles are very cool actors, but they are also a living example of the fact that no perfect 10/10 acting of the main cast can pull off the deadliest, in recent seasons a very stupid and ambitious script. the guy completely turned his brainchild into what he originally parodied.
When the fight started in the round room, I thought, wow, another 30 minutes of the episode, we're probably in for something big, because the posters promised destruction on a planetary scale...But after 5 minutes, I saw the Patriot's brains on the carpet and realized that we had been fucked up. To be honest, it is absolutely unclear what the budget of the series is spent on, because it is frankly weaker than the first three seasons.
There's some kind of mockery of the audience about the V generation, there are so many theories around them, so many expectations...And in the end, they're just fucking sent to Canada! Wow, thanks for this crucial plot twist, I feel like an idiot who was forced to eat a lemon for free.
The last few minutes have slightly smoothed out the disgusting feeling of the finale, but the lack of scale, a bunch of merged storylines, disgustingly slow narration and the transformation of a terrifying character into an absolute farce is all that finished the season completely.
Thank you, but I won't review it, I don't see the point in spinoffs and prequels either, it's better to re-read the comic. That's all I wanted to say
A normal ending. It's not great, but it doesn't suck either. Thanks guys, it was fun, bloody and beautiful in its political correctness!!! I'm happy with the series. Only I feel sorry for pesel =)
@TopGun: I'll give you a plus. Fucked up by the whiners who always don't like everything. This is not the one, this is not the one... Take off your THE BOYS or THE GIRLS or whatever and do whatever you want there
@IAmOlegN: The year was 2026, and people still had arguments like, "I don't like the food, so cook it better!!". And then become a dentist, a builder, an astronaut and an electrician. And take off your TV series. The Haggadah. Now I'm going to give up everything and get 20 professions so that the PERSON IN the COMMENTS is happy.
It is generally useful to comprehend what you are watching and reading, and to develop critical thinking and analysis. Understand where it's good and where it's bad. What works and what doesn't. But for someone, it's mindless to hack norms))))
@Mr_Knight: you literally turn out to be the same PERSON In the COMMENTS who turned out to be unhappy! No one has asked for your opinion, but for some reason you are offended by someone else's opinion. What is wrong with Comrade IAmOlegN?
In principle, this is a really normal ending. Of course, they stretched it out and pulled it by the ears in many moments and did not reveal a lot of what and who.... But so that they really fucked up to the dick, there is no such thing)) An easy ending, you might say. To please the American audience)) Let's look at the spin-off with soldier boy and storm))
Well, in general, the ending, as I thought, will definitely not be based on a graphic novel and turned it into a complete surreal... So many heroes were merged just like that. In short, who wants to get high, read the comic. I'm not going to cheat, but there's no way out of the real ending of this story.But here the sediment remains, even if you do not start from the original.
Well..... Why did we watch two seasons of Generation V? To watch a 5-minute cameo in two episodes? Where's Kate, where's that curly-haired kid Marie Moreau's task is to take 5 people to Canada? The Boy Soldier was thrown back into the jar, apparently there was not enough budget for Eccles by the end The Stormfront story arc is also not closed, we've been beating around the bush all season, and in the end we didn't say anything. The Battle with Homelander: as if Chirogasm looked more impressive. Starr played it as if the second coming had already happened, this swing from an all-powerful "God" to a worthless little man begging for mercy was well 10 out of 10, it was already disgusting to look at him. But then again, it's kind of simple, I hit it with a poker and I'm ready. At some point, it seemed like it was all some kind of prediction or vision that hadn't happened yet and everything would roll back (hello Twilight) With the Underwater one, they could have beaten him in a different way, he is, of course, a Syktyvkar, but after Homa's words, it was possible to come up with something with him. Sage went on a roller coaster ride in Orlando. I liked the scene with Huey and Butcher, as expected The ending, as I understand it, ridiculed the standard Happy endings.
I did not expect an exorbitant scale, the series has always been relatively intimate - that is, the battle almost always took place in some rooms and rarely affected the urban infrastructure outside. How would you like Homie to lose his temper? To fly out into the street and start mowing down ordinary people who didn't believe in him, like a field of wheat? Well, no, this is some kind of banality. There are more complaints about the fact that the Soldier was absolutely brazenly removed from the plot before the final episode. This is some kind of nonsense, Petrovna, especially his "that's how Clara would like it." I didn't buy this game at all. Otherwise, it's fine. In the last dialogue, the Soldier made another fat reference to the Characters. The way Homie groveled was generally good. Although I would have let him live - for him to lose all his strength and live like an ordinary person is worse than any death. The fact that he would be walking down the street, absorbing all the contempt of the world for his deeds, completely unable to fight back, would look much more cruel. As it is, they just killed me. Without much zest.
I didn't find the ending disgusting, although it didn't cause much emotion. Of course, there are plot holes, and in general, the fuse has long been lost from the creators. But this series has brought me so much joy and pleasure over the first three seasons that I will always be grateful for its existence. And to all those who were waiting for some kind of unreal starman and genocide in the finale, I would like to remind you that "Boys" has always been a kind and toothless series about the magic of friendship, and the ending fully corresponds to this spirit.
Well... I'm terrified. Here are the credits. The series starred: - Two seasons about characters who leave for Canada after 10 minutes of screen time. - Kripke's promises. - The power of love that helped Kimiko. - A soldier left in the fridge. - A pack of filming spinoffs, for which the series once bantered movie comics. - Death due to flashbacks. - The Oscar is for Anthony Starr.
The only advantages were the Homelander's fucking crawling on his knees in front of Butcher, Ryan's height as a character, and the fact that they didn't hesitate to bring down the characters. I really thought that the Depth would pass the arch of redemption, and the priest would defect, but they did even better. And thank the balls that Butcher is dead. If a man had stayed alive after everything, not just with a happy ending, but at least alive, he would have been fucked. In short, the average temperature in the hospital: the entire salary of the scriptwriters went to Ackles' fee for filming the spinoff.
@JennyRay: ** I ALMOST FORGOT.** Starring: Nerf powers Homelander for the sake of the plot. Cut off limbs with lasers from the eyes? You'll just scratch. Did you move almost at the level of the fastest speedster in the USA? You won't even have time to get off the floor to fly away. Did you break free from capture when you were being held by a V1 Soldier and a V24 Butcher with powerful powers? Fuck it, you'll be fucked by your pussy and a cancer-stricken hentai Butcher. Have you seen everything and heard everything through the walls? I don't give a shit, let's make sure that anyone can get close to you. And that's just what you can immediately remember.
It's so funny!!! It's just hilarious!!! According to the atmosphere, it was like I watched a new series of "Mighty Rangers"))) P.S. Gene V, which in the end was not needed at all, is a separate joke))))
After watching it, I decided not to write a comment right away and decided to think about the final episode. And you know, I don't want to write anything negative. I'm just upset and disappointed. Not only that the finale came out like this, but the attitude towards the audience and the fans themselves.
In fact, after such finales, there is less and less desire to watch TV series.
@IAmOlegN: They didn't ask me, but I'll answer, Wi-fi. I expected Homelander's harsh rule, so that he would burn out half the earth, so that the devastation would be shown and a lot of deaths, including among the main characters. So that later Butcher's guys FROM THE V GENERATION would also fight with him (because I don't understand at all why they existed then, it kills me). They robbed him of his strength with this piano in the bushes, made him squeak in fear and speak a monologue about shit and so on, and then they fucked up his skull and blah blah blah. I think the way they put him down is great, it's just that there should have been a normal fight before that. Epic. Not this shit in the room. Or if you did this shit for two minutes, then you should have made sure that Butcher actually released the virus and all the supers died, and then Huey would have already killed him. OR AT LEAST RYAN BECAME THE NEW HOMELANDER.
Shortly This is the show where the happy ending should not have been! Everyone's heads should have been flying, not just the villains and the Frenchman. It's completely crazy that they made a slobbery ending where Huey returns to the starting point with a child named after his ex (although even such an ending would be normal if there was a tin before that, BUT NO).
@lithiumks: but I expected that after reading the Bible, the Lord would return to earth and turn off the heads of all the bad people, and resurrect all the good people and give them an apartment in a new building, but the bummer came out. The man assumes, and Eric Kripke disposes ;) I'm tired of reading about the "piano in the bushes". Come up with something of your own. Like parrots, one said it and everyone took it up 🤦🏻♂️
@IAmOlegN: What else would you call it?) Even Marie Moreau would have been more logical than that (actually, that's what everyone was leading up to, but somehow they scored).
Well, yes, why the fuck would you ask people to tell you what they were waiting for, if in the end the answer is perceived like this? :) I literally described several options for what, in my opinion, would fit into the logic of the series, and did not say that the only other option would be great, and this one is shit. It was possible to come up with anything, but the scriptwriters chose the most boring and illogical (when compared with the endings of other seasons, and indeed episodes).
Some kind of stupid flash mob from the scriptwriters: talk about the awesome ending and just shit yourself. And it's not just about how it turned out, but it's probably worth stopping playing with the expectations of the audience.
The end is natural. The bad guy is dead. Both are bad guys. To be honest, I feel sad after watching it. This series presented a Homelander who was completely blown away by a psychopath, whom I was interested in watching with sadistic pleasure. The actor is wonderful, his facial expressions and emotions are incomparable. It's a pity that everything ended. And it's especially sad that I had to kill a Frenchman for such a happy ending, although I don't see the point in that. As Huey and Starlight rode off into the sunset, so would Kimiko and Frenchy - I would be immensely happy, I think, and many would be happy.
Shh, a glass of milk for everyone! Anyway, it was fun.
Okay, that wasn't so bad, but considering how ridiculous the whole season turned out to be... I understand this writer's feeling when the finale is already in my head, but how to come to it, well, this "xs" was through the whole fifth season.... It is sad. It's good that the series is always a team effort, so even though the writers made a mistake, the others didn't let them down, so respect to the actors, the musical director and everyone else who carried it on their shoulders and pulled as hard as they could, all the positive emotions are only thanks to them.
Sage was a fool) they only talked about her genius, the only time she really did something was when she helped the Frenchman with calculations and that's it! I thought it would be hinted that Ryan still had the strength, he didn't become a superman from the drug. Actually, it would have been a great ending if they had ended up like this for season 3 and not artificially dragging the plot out.
There are a lot of opinions and a lot of not the best ones. I'll say my own, though not the most popular. The best super show is over, yeah, you certainly would have done better 😉 There are practically no alternatives in the genre. And maybe this show is not for revision, but I have laughed many times, from the bottom of my heart, thought and reflected. It was cool. 🙌 Bucher van love 🫶🏻
From the very beginning, I did not share the universal delight of the series, but the first three seasons were interesting, season 4 is much worse, but season 5 is generally the most severe boredom, and also primitive.
Jesus Christ, what the hell was that? Is this the end of the Boys? For 5 seasons, the Patriot (Homeland) theme was frozen, but it was merged like this... It's mediocre. In my opinion, these lines at the end about "shit" are generally superfluous, of course, trash played an important role in the series, but this monologue was inappropriate. They wanted to show what a coward he was, but in the end it was a pathetic attempt. The "V" guys are purely a set, that's where the real laughter is. They traded their faces and left. The depth was hastily drowned, it was predictable, but it turned out to be too formulaic, and as a character, in fact, he never developed, only selected the timing. The ending with Butch is probably more complicated, and there are questions, but at least he didn't run off into the sunset with a pink pony. The season started off interesting and gradually began to decline with episode 4. Sorry. I always try to find something positive in the endings, but here I am disappointed. So many branches are merged and there are opportunities to make an epic battle, to give a decent death to the characters. Blood and bones? It's more like snot and regret. Bucher's face when he killed his enemy expresses all the emotions - disappointment.
another series that started very well ended so badly. Okay, if at least some pianos had come out in the bushes, we could have had a chat or a discussion, but they turned out to be so mediocre at the end of the series that they made everything as dull and boring as possible, how sad and disappointing all this is.
when you don't expect anything special, you don't read Kripke's bloggers, and you don't monitor all sorts of reddits, it's a pretty tolerable ending. however, the absurdity was enough. the dude made holes in people a hundred times with his lasers, but then for some reason he set the stun mode, periodically switching to another one when it was necessary to cut the tentacles. funny)
I'm not a fan of the series at all, I watched it from the very beginning, but without much interest. Yes, the ending is dumb with a bunch of absurdities, well, whatever, I watched and forgot....
mdaaa damn, well, it's actually 🤬 In my opinion, we have a new record holder for the most merged ending in the history of television, well, at least in the 21st century for sure. Daenerys Targaryen is just smoking on the sidelines and giving a standing ovation compared to this mess. The disgrace they did to Homelander is actually the authors of this nonsense, they should be in his place, and the fans should do the same to them with a tire iron. I especially screamed from the moment when Homelander said that Butcher owed him, because he spared him many times. that is, they also created, among other things, themselves They signed off on the fact that the entire plot of the series was completely sewn with white threads. Now I understand and fully share Anthony Starr's indignation at the ending. It's so incompetent to merge the character, the fans deserve more than the most primitive version of the denouement.
@Blew: they could have done it like with the X-Men, where Magneto had an entire army and there was a war, and in the end Magneto was deprived of his powers and left to live as an ordinary old man.
The moment when the human breathing of the Homelander was heard, and when he begged on live television, would also be a good idea if I read it in paper, but actor Butcher's acting has been too annoying in recent seasons that Anthony Starr had little to work with.
The epic wasn't enough. They seemed to laugh at the "Very strange things" that no one was killed, saying the Boys would be a mess ... but the ending turned out to be the same happy ending. I haven't read the comic, but I know the ending from there, we saved the arch with Huey and Butcher, thank you.
In general, there is a lot left unfinished, like what will happen to the Vout? Why the hell did they even announce that Generation V soups would play an important role, and they were shown a couple of times throughout the season?
@Yumikuri: I would rather not see them in the form of a cameo) Generation V was filmed solely to pull fans over, but they didn't pull the word at all to the level of the Boys, childish babble with this piano "Marie Moreau is the second coolest super", omitting that this is a tracing paper with Newman, who was killed in the Boys, but revived in the form of Moreau. Well, they didn't kill If Newman had been there, an excellent arch could have been written for her for the Boys' finale, but the money wouldn't have earned itself, since there wouldn't have been two seasons of complete kindergarten bullshit. And for the last season, their appearance is purely a waste of the budget in the trash.
@AlexandrSG: I don't think he changed his mind, he just couldn't have killed Huey and done what he planned, and so he had no choice but to run into a bullet, because he couldn't abandon the genocide plan either... that's basically right, but, again, eyeliner is shit.
@-Holycow-: Eyeliner, it smells like shit. It would be more dramatic if Huey lost Ani, let's say she sacrificed herself. Then he could have motivated his "against" that not all supers are bad, and there is no point in exterminating them all. And then, yes, it turns out that he was against it because he was in a relationship with her, and besides, Ani herself was ready for the use of the virus. By the way, we've only been shown really good supers a couple of times, so Butcher is right on the whole....
@AlexandrSG: That's it. I had a thread here a couple of seasons ago saying that all superpowers are assholes, but it's not their choice, they were made that way by the corporation with the help of a vaccine in childhood or even earlier, and Asterisk is just some kind of defective character, or just those who are with the boys, they're all except Butcher, 200 percent positive... but we won't know the answer to this question) and after the episode where it says that the supers don't really save anyone, but stupidly make movies, it's generally unclear what's with Huey, these are really finished scum and even very dangerous)
After watching it, I got the feeling that there should have been more episodes, or a feature film was planned. A lot of things in the plot are crumpled up, a lot of storylines are not disclosed. Half of the season's episodes were filmed as if for quantity
It turned out to be a good ending for me. The fight with Homelander was very cool. It's been a long time since there have been such mixes in the series (to be honest, there are very few battles for superheroics in the series, because the emphasis is more on guts). I really enjoyed this whole battle in the Oval Office. How a Homelander humiliated himself in front of the whole world on camera is also epic. Well, Butcher punished Homelander just awesome, I can't say anything.
The Dip is cool too. It's a pity that he only got it in the last episode.
I didn't like the part of the episode in which Butcher swam (albeit under really understandable and tragic circumstances) and went to kill supers. Although his words were not devoid of meaning, the main task was completed. This part of the series was created simply so that, well, he also needs to be fucked, and that's the only way we came up with such a narrative of the plot. I didn't like it, because they made an optional death out of a plot that didn't fit. And even if it was also in the original source, it is not necessary to repeat it at all, since this is its own story. Saying goodbye to him is sad, of course, because he is charismatic and cool. I was telling Huey a little shit that he did the right thing, because he wouldn't stop, even though he actually started to stop. It's such a parting gift to make Huey feel less guilty about it all. But I still don't like this part of the series right now.
The rest of this series was good. I can't say that about the season.
@MihaSchumi95: Have you seen Huey's regret? I'm not, he was rejoicing at Butcher's death in the cemetery. And this can still be understood from Kimiko, Starlight, but not from Huey. And he was grinning complacently, not at all worried that he had killed a man. Oh yes, and then we see the arch of "well-deserved happiness and recognition." Why would that be? That's just how Kripke wanted it. 🫢
@Kiki-mora: Well, there was no regret just because Butcher said, well, no, I wouldn't stop, although in fact I was already starting to stop. But I don't want to defend this part of the series. The closing of Butcher's Arch just didn't work for me.
@MihaSchumi95: I didn't like how Butcher was killed either, by God, it would have been better if Home had mortally wounded him. At least it was justified. And with Huey: the psyche doesn't work like that, if you're told that you did well, that you killed a man, or even "that's what you should have done," then you're not gnawing at the pangs of conscience. You're fighting, worrying, and spinning a bunch of options on how you could stop someone close to you without killing them. Even if you don't like this person. Huey is not Butcher 2.0 or Home 2.0 for psychopathic deviations in the form of absent regret, we were shown exactly a delicate flower who always worries about death.
@Kiki-mora: If Butcher had been left alive, that would have been five more spinoffs, a sixth season, etc. He would never stop. It's either him or the Supers.
@AlexandrSG: Well, they would have killed, OK, even Huey, out of hatred for Annie's death. At least there would be motivation that wouldn't stop him already. But it turned out to be a fart.
How sterile and "comfortable" (for leftists) the ending is... The series has always been a political satire on society, but the last season directly became a political statement. Previously, if he was balancing, now he has generally slipped into the left-wing agenda (they say dictators without strength/power are insignificant) which is even sad. This series should have ended differently. In fact, they just repeated the end of the season with the soldier, but this time they were not interrupted. Deaths suddenly became easy. Before that, for 5 seasons, everyone was beaten, beaten, thrown, thrown. And then suddenly there's death, like in the Garik Potter finale. (A lot and meaningless) as if the murder quota is boring to close until the end of the season. In general, it's very bad
Very, very weak. There is no epicness, everything is so mundane, as if the students were filming. We quickly closed several lines of heroes, just to somehow forget. They killed all the "bad guys": Butcher, Homelander, Underwater, Priest.
All the "good" ones were whitewashed and given a new chance. It didn't cause any feelings: no worries, no tears, no sense of satisfaction that the bastards got their way. It's so simple and childish. All the good wins, and all the bad will be punished. It's a pity, everything started so well, and, as always, they don't know how to end.
It was necessary to kill everyone: both from the "Boys" and from the "Vout". Because none of them were good people. The fact that they decided to show Huey as a proper boy with principles is nothing at all. He's just as duplicitous as everyone else. Only Butcher had the courage to tell the truth and bring the matter to an end. There are such sick supers as Home, every first one. And just because the Star was sleeping with Huey, did that give him the right to decide that no one needed to be killed? The height of hypocrisy!
It's just a pity for Butcher — he was left alone because of his burden and died. That was sad, he's a real superhero. And all the others are cowards who then suffer because of it.
@N_Sigal: I would say that Huey is the most hypocritical of them all. Remember how he killed the same Invisible Man? And then there's blood on my elbows, but all over my body. And you don't believe in the least that he's about goodness and a moral compass, even though they tried to put it in our mouth in a chewed form and imagine that this was who the main goody guy in the series was and the real hero of the series. About the fact that once you have a relationship with Starlight, you don't have to kill supers: we've already passed this point, everyone has agreed on everything and accepted that it's necessary, that you have to say goodbye to your loved ones (although this couple can't be called beloved this season), there's nothing beautiful about supers and artificial cloning of superhumans - that was the message of all the boys. But it turned out, it seemed.
We started for health, finished for peace.. I'm disappointed , it seems, and all the lines are closed, but there are still a lot of questions, why was Marie Moreau needed?
I've been waiting for so many seasons for exactly how Homelander will be killed, but it's definitely not like that
Considering recent seasons, the ending is still nothing. In a normal world, of course, the entire series should have been packed into 3 seasons, not be afraid to kill the characters and add a budget for epic scenes.
An entire epoch ended yesterday. There could have been more interesting things in this series, it could have been better, but we got what we probably deserved. And, thank God, the assholes were punished with death, and the good ones got their happy ending. And they rounded up the story and gave it to me... Hope? Probably so. Thanks to Kripke and Co., thanks to all those who came up with the original concept, thanks to the powerful cast and amazing wagering. It was really worth it.
I don't understand the whining and disgusting wishes of Kripke and the series at all. Everything ended logically - the bad guys were cleaned up, Butcher (who was the locomotive for continuing the struggle) was removed, the heroes got tired of the eternal struggle and decided to live their lives on what they had achieved, so as not to end up like their forerunner. People built expectations for themselves and were offended that the creator of the series did not do as they expected - a joke. And if I had done as they expect, I wouldn't be surprised that they complained about the highly predictable ending. P.S. this doesn't apply in any way to those who just constructively criticize without insults and other stuff. The ending is good, logical, and I give the series a 9/10. I am sure that I will review it in the future and be nostalgic with pleasure. All pis
I liked the series. I also like the ending as a whole. I had no expectations that there would be an incredible battle, since only Depth remained of the 7 RCTs (and even then, the Homelander drove him away in the end), so everything went to the fact that the Homelander would remain alone in the end. It's not very clear why many people thought there would be a mega-battle, given that everyone is afraid of Homelander, he has no superpowers left to support him, except for Oh, Father. It makes sense in this regard. The only thing I didn't like was the fused Soldier. They brought him out of creostasis, then shoved him back in, and no one remembered\\ found him in the finale. It's kind of weird, and I think it would be possible to come up with a better ending for it, like, for example, Sage, who just left. Well, the Soldier wanted to leave, let him really just go far away and he won't be in the finals anymore, because he doesn't care about these events. In general, it's a normal ending.
I'm disappointed with the finale. A lot of the fights in the series were staged better than this one. There was a lack of scale and epicness. Are you serious? The whole ending is in one room, and not even one of the main characters died. The title of the series is blood and bones. And where b... Are they lost? We just saw the brains of a Homelander. And this camera trick was just a mockery of the audience and a cliche. So everyone sees in real time what's going on in the oval office, but no one wants to interfere? It was a strange decision with Marie. That is, a whole spin-off was made to tell that there is another super who can defeat Homelander, and just don't even merge it, but stupidly forget about it, given its potential, that it can even resurrect a person. It couldn't be worse. I hope the authors will say in a few days that it was a joke, here's the real ending for you.
Everything ended quite logically, without any unnecessary clickbaits. Yes, it may not be as bright as we would like, but it is quite worthy. All good things come to an end, just like this series. Thanks to the creator of the comic, thanks to the creators of the series, it was a good time.
I remember reading Glukhovsky's Metro on his website back in the ancient Internet. Like ongoinging... And there the main character struggled through all the scrapes, looking for a way out, and so on... and then he was stupidly killed in one of the crossings. The end!
Well, it felt the same way here. Like, is that logical? Well, yes, if we're talking about the philosophy of comics and popular culture. Vital? Well, in general, it's probably why the opponents don't solve the problem with a fist fight. Was that what I was waiting for? No, of course not...
I don't regret dropping this division after the second season. When I started watching Boys, I often met comments that Eric Kripke was still a shit. As a result, chuika did not disappoint. I'm sorry to those who believed until the end that the finale would not be merged.
I guess I just don't personally understand this fashion of criticizing absolutely all the series finales that are currently being closed. If the season itself was average, then I really liked the ending. I don't remember people digging into everything like that before. We used to watch TV shows too, and people liked something and didn't like it. But now, no matter which series I open the comments to, I'll get 100 critics at once, and where's the budget, and where's the action, and the dialogue, and it's not like that, and it's not like that For me, everything ended as it should, MM is alive and living life with his family, took Ryan away and in fact, he will be a better father figure for him than Butcher or God forbid Homelander would be. Huey and Starlight are also expected. The underwater got what he got, died despised by everyone, rejected even by his fish, there is no place for him anywhere and there is no one left, a suitable death for such a schmuck like him Homelander, I was in the camp of those who admire Anthony Starr but wait for Homelander's death. The only thing that was strange to me was that when he lost his strength, he began to humiliate himself in front of Butcher, I still thought that the fear that he inspired in people, the power that he had, did not correspond to his behavior afterwards, he behaved worse than underwater, begging to suck off just to be spared. Well, Soldier Boy, it's clear that a spinoff awaits us, but I would like to close the normal line here, regardless of the other series, and not what we got. And we ended up playing Billy Joel. In general, the season itself is on seven, and 8/10 is the final for me.
@Каrkar_reedus-01: so the thing is, the ending corresponds to the season, not the whole series. It used to be a satire on everything in general, in the end it's cheap banter on Trumpists. And then, of course, Trump had to be completely humiliated. In the beginning, what's not super is scum, what's not the main character is not the hero. By the end of the series, they were only divided into the good and the bad. In a good way, everyone should have died except Huey, maybe. They would have staged a super battle where someone from the main caste would die every 30 seconds. That would be in the spirit of the series. And it would be remembered for a long time. As it is, the ending is too refined and simple.
@Wefast: now many people have some kind of obsession that if everyone didn't die in the final, there was no blood and guts, then the final is bad, I don't understand it. Everyone in the SD was unhappy that there were no deaths What's not enough here Xs, why is it so hard for people to accept a more or less good ending with Happily ever after like Starlight and the same Huey
@Каrkar_reedus-01: an epic battle in the finale, where no one dies, and the antagonist, who does not kill anyone, and defeating him does not feel like liberation from the cataclysm, but just an ordinary mission that could be completed without stretching everything for so many years. Do not confuse bloodthirstiness with devaluation, and the moment that glavgad moves from actions to intimidation by the end (that now he will get angry as he starts killing all the unbelievers), just kills some tension and instead of hatred and catharsis, you feel the taste of the antagonist from cheap movies, where he pushes terrible monologues about taking over the world, but he is stopped at the last moment... And it all came down to a dull banality - it's no more than a good ending, it's lazy nonsense, made up of a dump that could happen literally at any moment and in any season, and it doesn't feel like a finale.
Well, everything is as expected, no surprises, only... Really? "for the Frenchman"? well, at least I remembered about my wife in the end) And what about MM? Was it filmed during season 4? What the hell are his clothes hanging out on him again? Of course, thank you for the fight club tribute, but it would be better if Huey had no one left and he harnessed himself to the super despite, and so it's stupid selfish interests and inter-gang insults...
As gorgeous as the first two seasons are, the finale is so sterile. Still, the final fight with Home should be epic, not a kitchen fight. However, I would like to mention the most merged character - this is the Vout Corporation. I still can't believe that a corporation that didn't piss off working with the Nazis and conducting experiments on children controlled the supers solely through loot. And that in 50+ years of her activity, she has not come up with a weapon against them. Especially when the Homelander appeared. In the original, Wout was not so toothless.
Everyone remembers GoT, ST, and Dexter. Doesn't anyone get burned up by the end of the video? For me, she's in the top 3 bad endings, and ST is at most in the top 10, the guys are there. But in general, nowadays it is much more difficult to remember a series that was completed (not closed) normally, and that most people liked it. The supers are the same - too sad and not worthy. In general, from the Boys of the sample of the first seasons, one could expect some kind of unpopularly shitty ending for the characters, but the tendency to average the intensity of the cunt hinted that there would be no total decay. It's a pity. I was mentally prepared for the fact that everyone would die, or a dystopian post-nap would happen, or well, something completely sudden, for which my imagination is not enough. But we have what we have. It's infinitely insulting that, with all the other survivors, they killed the Frenchman for good. In the fifth season, he became my favorite character. And in the previous ones, if you think about it.
I got high from watching all the seasons. Thanks to Anthony Star for his excellent acting, I've adored him since the days of "Banshee", thanks to the whole team who were involved in creating all the humor, trash scenes that I want to review and burn out even now, like ant-man got into a dick and sneezed. Maybe they leaked the ending, maybe it ended too well, but it was still fucking awesome. The series gets into the shelf of the watched with pleasure definitely
A reference example of what would happen if a dumb liberal were given creative control. The first season was good, Starr is handsome. Kripke and the rest of the trash, who are so sick of Trump, would like to wish to die of ass cancer.
I was hoping that the Underwater One would be killed in some epic way... it would have been better if the sharks had torn him apart and he suffered. You got off easy asshole
There wasn't enough action, at the end of the third season, makhych was more dramatic, there was a lot of water, few supers (mainly because everyone was already dead), 5 seasons went to the homelander, and as a result, 4 minutes of timekeeping were given to this, and it was revealed with the help of a brilliant idea that was formed and implemented 3 episodes before the finale. there is time for third-rate characters from another series, potentially interesting Ryan appeared 2 times per season, there was no soldier at all at the end, the Frenchman died for fuck's sake. Generally sluggish, very sluggish, but it could be worse)
Butcher's death is just meaningless garbage, because if a fire goes off in the Vout building, the sprayers will release this fucking poison from the supers anyway. Can someone explain to me why Terror died and from what? I don't think it's from the chocolate pie he ate in episode five. Damn, of course, Annie, being pregnant, moonlights as a soup cop, the child just rejoices in her stomach while the mother gets punched in fights. Just wow, just something
@F601: the dog probably died from radiation, maybe the animals are more susceptible. But rather just like that, because there weren't enough eggs to kill him somehow.
The average predictable ending of an average predictable series. It was always not a good enough series, but it always had fun elements. This is not the level of Game of Thrones, which was an imbecile for 4 seasons, and then became strange at the end. It's just that everything is predictable stupidly normal
Homelander was an imbecile super. He always killed the other supers with one hand.
Immediately, he did not damage Kimiko at all, although she has no super strength at all. Like Ryan, he could knock him out with one punch or send him into the stratosphere. He is as fast as Train A, which the human eye does not even notice when running. Then his speed was taken away from him.
They held him in place with their hands, what?! He could fly away with them, run away. Together with them, I could do 100 laps around the office and leave nothing of Kimiko with the same Butcher.
Again, the Homelander was violent in the beginning, super-strong, and still heroic. And he slackened in micro moments when he was alone. They immediately took all this away from him, and made him a whining schizophrenic, raising all his suppressed pens to the absolute. They turned him into a joke (again, apparently because they decided to make Trump out of him, and then humiliate him so humiliate him to the fullest)
Previously, all trends, all movements, everything were ridiculed. They didn't divide everything into black and white. As a result, it turned into a thick banter over the right, even a Mask was inserted for some reason, which he somehow managed to send into space in a second
The plots with the new Noir, Soldier, Sage, and characters from the academy are completely fucked up.
They didn't even develop the plot with the virus. Why give Kimiko new powers in the basement on her knee if they had a Soldier with a wunderwafle?
They could have shown a super bloodbath in the last episode without leaving anyone alive. But we made a happy ending for some reason.
As a result, as soon as they decided that they would do better than the original, they merged everything and turned it into a political campaign without a coherent and interesting plot.
The season was stretched by the promotion of the spinoff and the cliched arcs of most of the characters. A separate pain for the daughter of Newman and Marie Moreau, because the legacy of my beloved Victoria was thrown out into nowhere and, to be honest, they actually came up with it all back then, as if they hung up a Chekhov gun and it didn't fire, absolutely these heroines didn't play a role anywhere. As far as I'm concerned, Butcher should have been killed by Newman's daughter, and Huey would have tried to calm them both down and then accidentally killed Butcher. But that would be on condition that the Homelander was killed in the last episode, and in this one, the split among the boys and Butcher's motivation were fully revealed, that as long as there were supers, the world would be in a mess and sooner or later some new Homelander would appear again (as for me, it was necessary to develop this particular line and not leave it for the last 20 minutes and the whole season to promote the fucking spinoff of the soldier)
Well, it's a great joke that starlight threw deep to the seashore, not knowing that he had a problem with the underwater world, so why the fuck would she choose this particular place for battle, of course, because that's how the scriptwriters need to complete the underwater arc and it pisses me off the whole season that we don't follow the characters but the scriptwriters in a good movie It shouldn't be felt
The last episode slightly stretched the situation in the meat-and-blood season and sawed out the main characters (which was originally a feature of the series and which they began to forget about). But I didn't pull out the script in any way, draining the STRONGHOLD, everything was already expected here. And the underwater one, of course, had to be thrown into the sea-ocean.
Rather mixed impressions after watching the series.
Generation V just merged. The children did not help in the fight against the Patriot and went to Canada with a high. 2.the Supers survived, and many of them were on the side of evil. What will happen to them, how will this continue to be regulated? Who will be punished for crimes? 3.The Star is just a disappointment of the season. A tactless character who only caused irritation. I couldn't even overcome the depth.
Ashley-well done. One of my favorite characters.
Poe Butcher was expected to die. It would be better to spray that virus against the supers already. 6.The Decisive Battle turned out to be a little strange. The Patriot just watched Kimiko try to take away his strength 7.Leaked The Soldier. It remained frozen in the cell. And there was such a potential…
Well, the finale of such a series was expected to be more epic, of course, but to be honest, my expectations dropped so much during the season that I was just happy with the fun and atmospheric battle. Homelander became so pathetic without his powers, Butcher beat him hard. Sage became very funny after the stupor, for the first time in a season it became interesting to look at her. In the end, the soldier was never unfrozen, and it's stupid and insulting. Why was he given so much time in the season? It was just for the prequel's PR, but it didn't do any good here. The climax between Huey and Butcher is somehow under-stressed. I didn't want to cry, but it should be at such moments. In general, the deaths of the heroes caused few emotions. Overall, it's a weak season. For me, it is clearly visible how the series was sliding down according to my own comments on this resource. I started writing here from the third season, and with every episode I was bursting with excitement. I was still scribbling a lot in the fourth season, but there was a lot more criticism than excitement. And during the fifth, I didn't want to write at all, because stupidly nothing was happening. There may have been a lot of memes and good jokes, but the most important thing - the plot - was not delivered. The final season of the series, which once set everyone on their ears, shouldn't be like this.
Well, the Naked one's over, and so are the Boys... it's sad, on the one hand, and it's joyful that the last difficult seasons have come to an end... The fate of the Soldier remains a mystery, lying there in his cryo chamber and does not even suspect what kind of batch he missed... they'll wake him up in 100 years, when all this hype settles down and the person gets used to the new world again...but that will be another story..
Everything ended up in prinitsp as I personally expected. That's why it's pretty boring... Well, in an ideal scenario, I still wanted the Patriot to kill himself, simply unable to stand the fact that he was abandoned/betrayed by everyone who could and humiliated in addition :^)
As a result, the most convincing arc of the ENTIRE series was Kimiko the Frenchman (well, if we forget about the bisexual moment, what the fuck was that). The others had both good and mediocre moments, and now it's all over, and glory to Cthulhu.
There is something to show for, but there is also something to thank you for.
I wanted to read everything, but 450 comments came up... After a hundred, I understood the main claims. Not much different from mine, but... They are often compared to individual entrepreneurs and sole proprietors. Whether they wrote about it or not, at least there were no unjustifiably high expectations due to the promises of the showrunners. After all, Kripke immediately said: don't expect something speculatively cool, everything is quite simple and ordinary. Unlike the same Duffers who promised with three boxes. And so it turned out. Simple and ordinary, without pianos, without twists. Simply. Expected. Personally, I'm only offended for the Soldier, it's a dumb ending for him. They put it in the jar again...
@Hidji: Kripke did a great job, he said that many people won't get into the final. The man said, the man did. This is the evolution of showrunners and their relationship with the audience)
@Hidji: we were literally given posters of the season with planetary-scale destruction (the destroyed vaught tower, a bunch of supers against the background of the white house, a Homelander over a scorched earth), which are completely untrue, and you write about the lack of inflated expectations? I generally think that studios should be canceled for marketing of this level, it's just a spit in the face of the audience.
@Futurikon: Since when have posters from the era of neural networks become at least some kind of argument? I don't even watch them until almost the show. It's nonsense to try to learn anything from them at all. More than half of the images on the Internet are by neurons. So to consider this a drain is to disrespect yourself, I'm sorry.
@Hidji: No, with the boys, this can still happen, and that's because they initially hedged their bets and engaged in marketing on the verge of pseudo-journalism, but doing this is the norm, well, sorry. And then we talk about a blockbuster movie at the promo, and then we give out a chamber drama and say that actually you're all down and don't complain, most of you are happy, but here only a bunch of loudmouths are sitting and puffing up in the comments...
@-Holycow-: No, no, no, there are interviews and trailers for this, but posters can be of absolutely any content nowadays. I've already seen a bunch of them where you can only remotely guess something from the plot, but in fact only the characters are recognizable. A direct indication of the content is needed. Yes, at least screenshots, and in extreme cases they can be considered hints of the content, there is almost no use of the neural network. But the posters... It might not be the same as in the movie/TV series at all.
@Hidji: oh, they also inflated the scale and universal grief at the interview, which was reduced to the ghost of a Frenchman, but for some reason without pink ponies)
@Hidji: Eric Kripke hints at what to expect from the finale:
"I hope people will be surprised by how much emotion there will be in it, there has always been a lot of sincerity and hope in the series. I think that's really felt in the finale. There will be big fights, big confrontations and big climaxes, but we really tried to focus on the emotions." If you saw any of this there, then everything is fine. 👌
@-Holycow-: many people generally expected a gloomy and almost dark universe). And even during season 4, he said in an interview that there would be a happy ending, a bright world, kindness, happy families and all that sort of thing). Is not it so? That is, the plans were announced, but people thought up diametrically opposite versions. I didn't even consider the option of victory and total power of Homelander, although it would be interesting. So much for "a lot of sincerity and a lot of hope." There were definitely big fights, confrontations and climaxes in the fifth season. But not as big as everyone would like. People were clearly counting on the level of "Avengers: Endgame." And this is Sirik, not a blockbuster. Focusing on emotions- yes, I saw it too.
@Hidji: Well, no, you don't have to do that) I needed an argument, there is an argument with a quote) People have been waiting for a clear outcome, literally since the first season, and got a piano, and even out of shit and sticks, there is some kind of lie in this, instead of hope) By the way, under the yoke of supers, you can also live a forced happy life, have you thought about it?)
@Hidji: but there is no need to dissemble. If this quote was about season 3, it would fit perfectly, but in the 5th it would be called something big, well, if only a hole in the ass, in the best traditions of the scriptwriters of the series
@-Holycow-: Damn, do I really need to copy-paste his Rolling Stones interview from 2024 here, rather than convey his key thought in my own words? You can find it and read it, I haven't changed the essence).
And as for a happy life under the yoke of Homelander - no, I can't even imagine what kind of happiness. And I am saying this as a person who is completely loyal to the current government, and who is quite comfortable, except perhaps blocking and censoring the Internet. There is a definite limit beyond which totalitarianism cannot be combined with happiness.
@Hidji: the bottom line is that Kripke is a babbler, and for some reason you support it) If the ending was in Homelander's favor, you would also say that he did not give clear instructions on the plot in the interview and was honest to the end in everything - that's what I mean)
@Hidji: Do you have a neural network in your brain? What is this incoherent set of letters? The series has an ADVERTISEMENT. The posters relate to it. What does neural networks have to do with it??? It's amazing that the company wasn't sued for false advertising. Now, in 2026, I would like to advertise the product (and a TV series on a paid platform is, wow, a product!) and piss in the audience's face, promising scale and epic. An interview is not an argument, the guy said, the guy forgot, but trailers and POSTERS, yes, this is literally a promise and an impact on the viewer.
@Mr_Knight: Were there any scenes in the trailers that you're looking for??? No. And posters are pictures that, since the era of black and white cinema, have not always reflected the real events of the films. I repeat, with neural network posters (and the fact that they are made by AI has been repeatedly confirmed), this trend has increased significantly. So a set of letters is a problem of your perception. A form of mental disorder in which it is impossible to put letters into words))).
@-Holycow-: Was there an interview where Kripke said that we were going to have a dark ending with a dark apocalypse, which many were waiting for? I've never seen this anywhere. I've seen the opposite. So I do not support his vision, but only state that he did exactly what he said.
@Hidji: In short, no. You're wrong. That's not exactly what he said and did. But there will always be arguments in his defense about inflated expectations, but the problem is that he deliberately participated in this overestimation, and this defense is unclear in the name of what... That the series is crap now, that the comrade who killed this series for the sake of his erotic fantasies. I really would like to hear the arguments for it, but so far there have been none.
So Kripke admitted back in April on his Instagram that the comic is much crazier than the adaptation he shot. And he urged fans of the series to read it. It was as if he was always hinting that there was no need to build high expectations from the finale.
Kimiko's new ability is so powerful that she was able to use it to break through the fourth wall and finally break the heroes of their scenic armor. What a mother🖤
I'm so glad it's finally over and we've all bombed out. I shake hands with all the new arrivals who only realized something at the very last moment and saw the light of Eric Kripke's level of degeneracy, and the ending is exactly as mediocre as I foresaw it all, so I didn't feel any emotions (well, or I just already had a tolerance for disgusting endings)
Your expectations are your problems. I didn't expect anything and was quite satisfied, yes, it could have been better, but it's still definitely better than the final of the OSD
Everyone and everything was drained, but I was so glad to see that the Abyss was soaked by his own friends. Otherwise, they didn't put the squeeze on it, of course. We bet on a happy ending.
For some reason, over the past few years, all the top series have been sinking hard in the final season, I don't know if the creators are running out of fuel, or if the budget is running out, but if we compare the 1-2 seasons of the Boys with the last ones, it's like it was written by two different people.
Anyway, I still love this series. Anthony Starr deserves an Oscar
It's a good ending. Natural. Butcher fully understood that he would be killed. Kimiko found herself. Mother's milk... Well, I stopped whining that there was no point, as soon as the main problem scattered my brains around the oval office. A sweet couple is also quite a good ending for them. With the son of a Homelander, it is also clear that there clearly could be no future with Butcher. The Homelander himself was perfectly shown what he was like without his powers, it was even thought that it would be possible to leave him alive, so that some of the ordinary people would kill him in a doorway... A cozy and peaceful ending!
@NotSuperiorMan: If you blow it up, then the main problem is MM - the Soldier, and somehow everyone forgot about him) so it's unclear why he relaxed there and returned to his family.
In general, the ending is not bad, I didn't spit like most, but the ending of the story turned out to be too sugary, not at all in the spirit of "boys". That's why I came up with (or rather, I "changed" it a little in my head) an alternative version of the last episode of the season, it seems to me that it is more similar in spirit to the boys, whom we all fell in love with in the magnificent first season:) So my option is: Everything happens the same way as we were shown, UNTIL the scene where Ashley's impeachment is announced on TV: Butcher communicates with the District, who sends him, then Butcher goes to his room and sees a dead dog, then his gaze falls on the flask with the virus. The next shot shows Butcher standing in the doorway in the semi-darkness, which Huey notices, while the others are listening to a TV show where they talk about Ashley's resignation. Next, Butcher disappears from the frame, and then we are shown that Annie and Kimiko start spitting blood. Hugh is blown up and runs to Butcher's room, where he sees a dead Terror, and then an empty flask of the virus. He jumps out onto the street and sees Butcher's car driving away, without thinking, jumps into another car and begins a chase.Next shot: they show friends from Gen V (Marie Moreau and company) who are going either to Canada or already from it, they all also start bleeding from their eyes and mouths, Moreau is trying to somehow cope with this with the help of his "blood magic", but As a result, their car skids, and we realize that they are all dead, too.
@zastegno: Unfortunately, this fantasy is immediately shattered by the convention already stipulated in the series that the virus has a range of action.
The next shot shows Ashley sitting depressed and completely frustrated in her house, with a gun on the table in front of her. She looks at him, but the "Voldemort" on her head says that she won't do it because she's a wimp and anyway, life isn't over, it's still going to be. To which Ashe replies, "I was PRESIDENT, and now I'm nobody! What the fuck is this life for me?!" Her hand reaches for the gun, but then her "other self" starts coughing, Ashley reaches for the back of her head and sees blood on her hand. She screams in horror, trying to figure out what's going on, and blood starts flowing from her mouth, too. Next frame:
Butcher is in the Tower of Seven, and Huey comes there. Hugh asks Butcher why he did this, because the Homelander was already dead, to which Butcher pushes him a monologue that then there will be a new Home, all supers are dangerous, they should not exist in principle and blah blah (which is what he said in the series). Huey points a gun at him. Butcher says it takes balls of steel to kill a friend, and Hugh replies, "I have them." And shoots Butcher. Next, she also approaches him (as shown), holds his hand, because no matter what, our baby Hugh is a kind guy. Butcher tells him the same thing he said (that he (Huey), despite all the shit, remained human, and did the right thing by shooting him, because this is his revenge for Annie, but at the same time he himself (i.e. Butcher) He couldn't have done anything else either, because as long as all the other supers were alive, even if Home was dead, his mission and revenge for Becky's death would not have been completed. Next shot: Uh, Ryan and Huey at the cemetery near the graves of Butcher, Asterisk and Kimiko. Gray, gloomy sky, no farewell speeches, all three are silent. Then MM says to the District, "Let's go, kid." They leave, leaving Hugh alone, who begins to sob and falls to his knees in front of Annie's grave. The next shot: MM knocks on the door of the house, his wife opens (no scenes with a second wedding, why all this snot?), they hug, the audience realizes that MM has his family again, and adopted Ryan of course :)
Next shot: Huey is wandering down the street with a blank stare, just moving by inertia. Billboards, advertisements, etc. (everything that has something to do with supers) are being removed everywhere, new posters are being hung, advertisements in the spirit: "now the earth belongs only to PEOPLE." Next, Hugh's phone rings, and on the other end of the line, the president says that even though all the supers are dead, Voight, led by Edgar Poe, are planning something anyway, they need to be monitored so that they don't make another V, and new supers, and they need a head of the tracking department. To which Hugh replies, "Thank you, but I don't want to get involved in all this shit anymore," the president replies, "If you change your mind, you know where to call," and hangs up. Titles.
Anthony Starr said that the worst thing a homelander has ever done will be this season. Strangely enough, I didn't notice this, but instead, Homelander did the best thing he's done in all 5 seasons: he died.
@schizosarah: it's hard to imagine a person for whom this moment would not be the worst thing to do, that is, this is the bottom where a person loses the remnants of self-respect and ceases to value himself somehow, it's also quite sickening and difficult to play, especially if there were no prerequisites for this (you can, of course, make up your mind, but the transition is stillstill too harsh), it's just the author's self-admiration, which spoils the perception.
@-Holycow-: I disagree about the prerequisites, it's been clear for a long time that a homelander without superpowers is not a genius at all, and it seems to me that in this series, and not only this character, there were scenes that are more morally difficult to play)) it's basically just a monologue/dialogue, in the first seasons there seemed to be a lot more tin and cringe in this regard. in general, although it would be interesting to look at homelander as an ordinary person for a longer time, so that the death scene does not look so rushed, but from the point of view of the plot it's stupid, he would get to V (although not V1) and that's it, you can start over.
@schizosarah: I mean, not to immediately play a sucker from don't threaten South central, but to start by showing this awe and horror, for example, in a confrontation with a soldier, but I don't remember any such scenes there, but there was a threat) this doesn't mean that Home couldn't behave like that, just too sharp a drop... The Abyss could have given out this monologue without any problems, even without losing strength, because for some reason it was made that way, but in principle, all of the seven are quite flat and without any special twists...
@schizosarah: The soldier was not afraid, he posed a threat, Homelander had no crises before him, except for a lack of love, but there was no feeling of fear... Well, the fact that Home overestimated himself, it kind of goes without saying, but it was this helplessness and turning into an empty place that was not given, well, somehow it's strained... Loki and the Hulk had a more realistic scene)
Well, the finale is such a finale. The priest ruined himself in his beauty, and the Merman got what he deserved from his own animal friends.And Homelander, well, it's ridiculously simple.The force is debilitating...It's strong. And funny. Butcher left naturally. I feel sorry for the dog(( A pregnant Starlight, while being heroic, is of course a top
Damn, I expected the finale to be as combative and epic as possible, along with how the Omniman staged a meat grinder in the subway with Mark's face, that there would really be rivers of blood and well, at least a couple of skyscrapers were toppled over during the battle, the asshole who did so much shit was too easily defeated, and damn it would be better if he shouted something crazy stuff like, "I'm God and I can't die," like what was said in the show....in any case, I am grateful to the series for all the years of their work and labor, the actors are beautiful, love to all.
There is literally zero efficiency from the characters of the vi generation. Why introduce them into the main plot of the boys, if in the end they did absolutely nothing and did not help in any way. Why was it necessary to disperse the fact that Marie is one of the strongest supers, if she did not play any role in the finale and her strength was not shown once during the entire season.
Throw sticks at me, but I got high from the ending of the series "Boys".
I waited two seasons for them to kill Homelander and Deep, how many attempts and opportunities were missed, and they did it, the beauties! The only thing that upset me was that Butcher, Frenchy, and Terror ended up dead. Although they left with dignity)!
Of course, it turned out to be crumpled, it could have been done better (something can always be done better), but as it is, it's also quite good.
The series goes to the heart of Dexter, The Bridge, Breaking Bad, Dark and Ted Lasso😁 All Oi!🖖🏻
That's all 😅 honestly, I burst into tears at the moment near Butcher 's tombstone🙈 Did I expect a different ending ? Yes. Marie Moreau, one of the strongest supers, just went to Canada, Butcher for some reason survived a fight with Homelander 🤦🏻♀️ to then mess up again and be shot by Huey 🤷🏻♀️ I'm glad for MM and Strarlight with Huey 👍🏼 okay, the ending is so-so, but "Boys" it was It's nothing like a series for me. Bloody, nasty, funny, emotional, interesting. I'll miss you a little.
How stupidly they leaked the Dip... I've been waiting for some kind of character development since the first season, that he would get tired of Homelander's endless humiliations and betray him. And how ironic it would be if it was Deep who eventually killed Homelander, because he repeatedly said that he was a worthless nobody.
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: Well, it just so happens that no one dares to praise this show, but this is not because the series ended badly, it's because everyone is dragging on the pull of haight and HYPE... whether it's the critics and ratings, that's where everything is for real, that's where the experts and connoisseurs are)
@-Holycow-: There is no truth anywhere, only subjectivity and personal opinion, but it's good that at least someone is trying to explain to the viewer why it fucked up and ended badly, and if anyone does not agree, they will be given a minus. All according to the precepts of Homelander)
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: Well, if you perceive a personal opinion as an attempt to impose it, it's undeniable, but broadcasting a personal opinion and arguing for it is not equal to preaching to an unreasonable herd. + if a person likes trash, trash doesn't become something else. Here we need clarity: a person defends garbage and accuses people who call garbage garbage because they do not understand that garbage is not garbage... The point here is far from the fact that "whoever does not agree, he will be given a minus."
@-Holycow-: But only here is a personal opinion without imposition, and it is those who liked the ending who are being downsized here. This is just a wonderful layer of post—irony and in the context of the main conflict of the series — everyone should love Homelander, and whoever doesn't love him is a starlighter and adds a wonderful aftertaste to the series. Just like the bloggers' videos of the same type, "the finale is merged / about Bali / spent" — it is on the wave of hype: everyone should hate the finale. And if you don't hate the ending, then you're a shit-eater)
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: well, probably, but I didn't watch all these videos in the screenshot, but suddenly I looked at this one, and it seemed to me quite good.
I watched the finale quite early, when there were still 50 comments, and started writing my own in the spirit of "what else can you expect from a series if it has spin-offs even before it ends," but even stalled then I looked at who Kripke was, what he had done before (Supernatural only, according to in essence), what were the overall ratings and ratings of different seasons from critics/viewers.. in short, I buried myself, and now some kind of disgusting feeling appeared that this was the calculation, as it were - haight, comments, popularity, etc., although not from Kripke himself / other creators, but from the bosses of Amazon, for example (well, the first 2-3 seasons were thought out and made accordingly, and the rest is on the wave of HYPE by appropriate methods, like don't care about quality, the main thing is buzz, "attention"..)
therefore, I changed my mind about writing the comment myself, but after some time I still threw this video here as a "gestalt closure" :)
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: Of course, the chosen ones) You haven't screwed up yet, they hate the ending just because the Homelander didn't win) I repeat once again to consolidate - Your attitude does not affect the quality in any way, if you see sheep in the audience who need bloggers to explain how to watch and understand the series, then you are clearly on the wrong side)
@JeendIgo: I'm not saying that the video you shared is bad. And those on the screenshot — I only watched a couple, but all the videos are essentially the same type) I liked the videos with references and theories, then I watched where they compare the comic and the series, since I'm not going to read the comic, but it was interesting to see how the arches were lined up there (The Noir clone of Homelander was just interesting there) but not the point. I just watched the video, and then YouTube started putting a lot of videos "with a merged ending" in the river) I found it funny why you only have one video if there are a lot of them.
As for the seasons, I agree, the first three bantered everything in a row under a layer of black humor and jokes below the belt, and then there was one-sided banter over Trump..... Yes, well, I won't take a minus, there are a lot of people who spoke out.
@-Holycow-: You're writing as if I'm the one making the same kind of "why do boys have a fused ending" videos
Actually, I'd love to see Homelander win, and I'd be looking forward to season 6. This is how one could turn around, dystopia, totalitarianism, a permanent leader. People are like zombies, treated by telepaths.... From treshak , one could move towards a harsh dystopia ... But the creators clearly had a different goal for seasons 4 and 5) but what about the audience? And the viewer feels the propaganda being imposed, just the ratings and reviews show this.
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: I don't really follow all this - can you tell me what the banter is about Trump (it seems far-fetched to me, but mb missed something)?
@JeendIgo: тут не надо особо разбираться в американской политике, чтоб увидеть однобокую сатиру. Про Трампа сам Крипке говорил, что Хоумлендер это аналог Трампа 😬
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: the fact is that people who indiscriminately take everyone under one comb and write them down as illegible hype-thieves and haters are doing a disservice and giving the go-ahead to further shit production.
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: these are my words, and if you didn't see the irony here, I apologize. I still believe that if a person says something on the Internet, it's his thoughts, not what they want to hear from him, but the fact that it's topical, I don't see a problem with that. Well, maybe I'm a little naive about that)
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: even xs, it looks like the same stuff for hype
here, for example, they say that Starr did not let Kripke suffer this bullshit (at least completely) https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBoys/comments/1tfrg94/kripke_wanted_to_make_homelander_a_snl_parody_of/
@JeendIgo: There are the most wilds on Reddit when you already have to fumble for the American ENT of politics 😅 but Jesus is Trump, what is not the Homelander messiah 🤣
@-Holycow-: I don't know, I'm writing what I think))) and I don't care about the minus. It's not a seamless ending for me, but it's a weak one. I was waiting for more action, destruction. In the comment below, that's what I wrote. But as they say: my expectations are my problems) but it's funny that all the bloggers are talking about a merged ending, and even here, people who are satisfied with the ending are snatching a minus)))
@-Holycow-: Amazon has drawn conclusions, there should be a prequel. We still need to squeeze some money out of the popular universe before it cools down completely) according to the plot, the action will be in the 50s, Trump was not in power then, maybe it will work out 😅
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: Yes, Kripke won't be there either, but the main question is whether they have a story, or will it be a couple of episodes of plot again, and in the middle 10 episodes of sluggish communication, which then won't play in any way
This is really the worst episode of the entire series. And the closer to the final, the worse it gets. It's hard for me to put into words how disappointed I was with the season and the finale.
Throughout the series, I envisioned many plot twists that could justify the amount of disappointed reviews that were being posted from all corners. I don't know what kind of action you expected at the end, but it turned out to be a pretty normal finish. I was hoping for a surprise from Underwater, where they could make a beautiful fight, but alas.
Yes, they leaked the Homelander, what. It's a pity for terror, and it seems like the real dog from the set has already died, too. It's a good ending, everything is in its place. I just didn't understand what virus the president was talking about to Huey, I thought they hadn't released him. And anyway, I thought Singer was dead. It's a pity that in general, the series is liberal, for all the good, against all the bad, and that's it. But the corporation stayed, the old head came back, as if they would fix it (spoiler alert - no)
I really liked the ending. It turned out well. Yes, Kimiko is a little crumpled, but in general, the Homelander lost his strength and groveled in horror - it makes perfect sense. Butcher did not deviate from his plan, but allowed Huey to stop him. It was a very dramatic moment, actually. We were shown that something human had awakened in him, that Huey had reached out, but it was too late. Eh. Well, it's also logical. The patriot is dead, the goal has been achieved, there is nothing left to live for. In short, I'm happy with the finale, especially after the weak 4th and 5th seasons in general. A worthy conclusion.
many people complain that the ending is terrible, there is no scale and epicness. xs, I never expected anything like this from him. a normal ending, albeit a bit overkill with cotton candy. Finally, this brat has leaned back. It was fun.
I feel sorry for the dog and butch (actually, it's kind of sad, I was prepared for the fact that not everyone would survive in the final, but the dog and butch for whatоо
It was necessary to close for the 4th or 3rd season, this season is for nothing. Don't waste your time on this - there's a lot of talk like in The Walking Dead, which also had to be closed for a maximum of season 3.🤮
@iris1279: The lost has just the most normal ending of all those listed, it's just complicated and overly sophisticated, but it closes all the questions and storylines at least
@kptrff: Are you kidding? On the contrary, it looks as if the scriptwriters themselves did not understand what they were up to and this "brilliant" ending came to their mind...
In the words of the classic: "dumb shit of dumb shit." The final episode, as well as the entire final season, did not cause a single emotion, except boredom. Although no, when they showed the "dead" Terror, my lip twitched. Because playing on the death of animals is a kick in the gut. The death of a Frenchman is simply comical. The ending of this episode is like the fruit of AI (like the whole season). Very sorry. The first two (three?) the seasons are watchable, the rest must be skipped.
Kripke said that Amazon squeezed the money for the finale - sounds like a skill issue, if the previous 7 episodes would not have been smeared with snot and absolutely useless battles / fan service, maybe there would have been enough money for an epic finale. And yes, the character of Homelander was leaked so poorly that I'm even offended that Tony Starr was not allowed to roam normally in the finale, just like Karl Urban.
1. Why did we need a spinoff about Marie Moreau if she didn't influence the plot of the last season in any way? You can see how the scriptwriters changed their shoes on the move and simply removed Marie and her team from the finale. Well, you don't want to make the girl the hero of the Boys, well, give her the opportunity to resurrect the Frenchman or kill Synapse and other Homelander henchmen in the end. Why would season 2 admire Moro and her abilities to flush her potential down the toilet? 2. Every season and every episode, we are shown the growing threat of the whistling flask of Homelander, which is about to unleash everything around. But no, in the end he just fights hand-to-hand with Butcher and his son and grabs the noble ones from afar. Although in the previous series and in general in the series he has superpowers, super speed and other super powers. 3. To revive and put to sleep the Soldier, so that he does not affect the plot in any way, it is necessary to try. I found Booster, but I didn't kill him. He didn't die from the vaccine, so that he could just try to prevent them from finding the vaccine, and then just put it in the hands of Homelander. I don't even know how many people will want to watch it in a separate series after such a flimsy season. 4. There wasn't enough budget for Starlight's abilities at all, the entire film crew was throwing off a couple of sparks. 5. In general, you skip the whole season with a bored look, because the murders and mokrukha really don't make sense anymore, the dialogues are long and pretentious, jokes about dicks and ass pass by
Not the greatest drain of the finale, of course, but not at all what I expected, but as they say, your expectations are your problems. Houma was clearly taken aback, he was scattering them even without the b1 serum, but here he was practically unable to do anything. The characters from gene Vi turned out to be useless extras, and there was talk about the one who controls blood.
The series was loved for its harsh banter and satire on everything, and for the first three seasons it really held this level. And starting from the 4th, it turned into a rather predictable anti-Trump pamphlet. The satire has become much more straightforward and one-sided, with an emphasis on criticism of right-wing conservatives.
But thanks to the creators for Putin's cameo — and then how RosSMI happily sucked on it. Even the experts were invited, who wisely said that "Omerica's narratives have finally changed." Yeah, the spirit of Anchorage is right) 💪💪💪
I also liked the banter on the audience: such epic posters fueled interest, they say, wait for the apocalypse. And the result is a fighting game in the Oval Office. Hey, we don't have Marvel here (and a smaller budget), your high expectations are your problems.
Yesterday's final episode was disappointing, of course, but thinking about why they showed it the way they did, there's a pleasant aftertaste. Most of all, Burgurt was aroused by the heroes' story armor (especially when they were shot from above in the corridors of the White House, but they were all intact) and the underestimation of the Homelander's powers.
And how the creators handled the spin-off is a masterpiece. Have you watched "Generation V" and waited for the Mistress of Menstruation to come and save everyone? No, well, that's your problem, we didn't force you to watch two seasons.
According to the dynamics, season 5 is many times better than the snotty 4th, and it would be a mistake to drag out the story any further - it would slip into self—repetition and reflection, as in "The Walkers". That's why they finished and finished. Thank you. And I will definitely watch the prequel.
PS. I feel sorry for the dog. My sharpey also died, we lived together for 10 years. I came home and he was lying cold on the floor, as if sleeping... the scene with Butcher's dog just tore my heart 💔
It's a good ending. The season is chaotic and often very "homotronic" (well. you know: the scenario armor of superpowered boys, the characters' intelligence jumping from idiot to imbecile...), but it all ended quite pleasantly.
I do not know what to say, to be honest. It feels like a very snotty happy ending. Everything is fine with everyone. Doubtful, but OK.
In general, I agree with many above: the series was really delayed initially by its blackness. The first three seasons really caused laughter in the crowd with disgust. I've never been a fan of movies and TV shows with lots of blood and guts, but here it was just wow!
Butcher was leaked in just 5 minutes, what kind of nonsense was that, and the gang from generation vi that forgot in the season is not clear at all, even if they were given a line. Very sorry
What a mess. The showrunner got caught up in his own liberal schizo and turned the series, which I started watching as a deconstruction of the genre, into a parody of himself. What they were fighting against, they ran into. They've been pulling the cat by the balls all season to merge so stupidly. The desire to watch the "expansion" and other side effects of this universe has completely disappeared.
My only complaint by the end of the season was why kill the Frenchman, but I don't understand people who are unhappy with the finale , they say they leaked, etc., but what did you expect ? From the first seasons, it was clear that the series was moving in a different direction regarding the ending than the comic, and it was better than in the comic, personally, I would not want almost everyone to die at the end. It all ended quite logically , and that 's what it was all about . Of course, they could have done a better job at the end, Soldier Boy, Marie Marot, but I don't understand why they were being introduced at all, etc., if in fact nothing was solved at all)) and the Home against Butcher and Kimiko looked weak, I imagine what would have happened if there had been even more supers, it was necessary to do something like Thanos battles with the Avengers to do)) and so along the way , all of Home 's allies were killed , or he killed himself )
@arfaegond_y: Are you aware that the series, which "moved in a different direction regarding the ending," did 2 scenes one-on-one with the death of Home and Butcher, with the only difference being that there was almost no one left in the comic from the boys, but it's unclear why it happened that they came back to the same point and very unconvincingly)
@-Holycow-: Are you going to insert your 5 kopecks in every comment here, dude, like one-on-one with a comic book? In the comic, Homelander is killed by Black Noir, who is a clone of Homelander. Noir literally tears the Homelander apart. And the wounded Black Noir is immediately finished off by Butcher. What kind of one - on-one 🤦
Then Butch arranges a genocide of the supers with a virus. Huey tried to stop him. A fierce fight broke out between them. Butcher realizes that it's over and tricks himself into killing himself. He lies that he killed Huey's parents, and Huey ends up killing Billy in a fit of anger. He didn't shoot me, as in the TV series, but killed me with a splinter.
If you set out to write an answer to everyone, here under this series, at least teach the match 🤣🤣🤣
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: Butcher kills Homelander (his wife's rapist), Huey kills Butcher. I don't see a problem. I have a limit on comments, but what kind of authority are you here for?
@-Holycow-: in the series, Butcher kills Homelander. In the comic, Butcher kills Homelander's Black Noir clone. But you're right — in the comic, Black Noir raped Butcher's wife, so yes, he kills his wife's rapist) but not "2 one-on-one scenes with the demise of Home and Butcher." Or did I miss the irony again?
@ИнтeрecныйФиллep: Apparently, you don't see it. Why did you have to move away from the comic book in season 1, so that you could finish everything exactly like in the comic book? I don't care about the team and the virus and black noir. What's the point of changing anything if Butcher kills Home anyway, and Huey kills Butcher, what's changed? What's the idea?
@-Holycow-: it's not a comic book in the first place and it doesn't have to follow the original source) from the very beginning, it was not an identical film adaptation, Simon Pegg was then supposed to play the role of Huey, Noir was supposed to be a double of Home, and so on, and so on, and the battle at the end could have been done better, bigger, and so everything that was expected.
@-Holycow-: In the comic, Noir created the main game with murders, and then it was exposed that Homelander was doing these things, but did not remember. Later, the Homelander began to create game on his own, like "well, since I'm like that.".. In the series, the cuckoo has gone from unlimited power, the desire for everyone to love you is somehow more realistic)
After watching the episode on the day it was released and after a thorough analysis, I still haven't changed my mind, and the finale, like most of this season, is completely merged.
Homelander lost not to Bucher, but to the screenwriters. Kripke played with his political correctness and hatred of Trump, which he forgot what the series was at the beginning. And he was a parody of many things in our world, and as a result, the series itself became a parody for the worse.
I don't understand the scriptwriters and how it was possible to do such non-logical things like a child's penetration into the white house, underestimate the powers of a Homelander (the guy flew back and forth into space in 2 seconds and then couldn't fly away from Bucher and Kimiko), only two associates on the side of Homelander, seriously?) It's so stupid it looked so intimate that you don't believe in this cheap production, how could you not give a normal budget for an adequate and large-scale finale of one of the most popular streaming projects?)
They easily defeated the strongest superman, and only because the people who wrote the plot of this bullshit wanted it that way. And in general, the Vout company is the main villain, they gave birth to everything and the guys just left them alone))
In general, there are already a lot of AI with other endings on the Internet and they look MUCH cooler than what was shown to us, but take at least the ending in the comics and make it, or if you start coming up with your own, well, make sure that the Homelander wins everyone and it will be much cooler and will amaze everyone, but there is no better shit to remove.
Thanks to Kripke for your pathetic and filthy propaganda against Trump, you did it instead of making a TV series.
I've seen so many bad reviews for the finale. I was preparing for the worst. There is so much negativity, as if it is even worse than the ending of Very Strange Cases.
And it turned out that the ending was quite normal. I didn't expect an epic, because it's clear that the series has a budget of not 200 million blockbuster.
The final fight is intense, filmed spectacularly. The main lines are all closed. It ends logically. Once again, I am convinced that people like to create a haight for the sake of haight, if reality turns out not to be what they imagined for themselves.
I didn't like the ending. I wasn't expecting such a united patriot. Also from kimiko..... the ravings of a grey mare. And Butcher? Why kill him? Nonsense nonsense nonsense
Butcher was right to some extent. I remind you that the Soldier is not dead, but simply frozen. What prevents some asshole from unfreezing it for his insidious purposes and starting that flywheel again?)
Pregnant starlet in crocs flies to save the world))) They gave her an interesting ending, of course, and it's strange enough that they didn't show her how people perceive her now after Homelander's death.
Kevin got the most brilliant death, she just laughed out loud, the man suffered, but he killed the marine life and in the end they turned against him, which is very, very logical. Chase played this character very coolly, it was interesting to watch him after his role in Gossip Girl
Butcher also died quite logically, because he had previously said that the last person holding him in this world was his dogel, so no dogel = no Butcher, but they could have done it a little differently anyway, and he himself would soon have given up, as he lost his abilities and his cancer returned
MM has a cool ending yet, but otherwise there are more questions left than answers)))
Overall, I liked it, yes, I expected a bloodier ending, for example, that Boucher would still do what he had planned in the vout. Well, the starlight line was touching.
Well, it was obvious from season 4 that everything would end up dull and boring. Which is already a series where 2 seasons are super good, and then the game begins...
The whole season was a complete filler. A series with a cast of superpowers was probably needed only to show the dudes from the superpowers...there was no other fucking point at all. The Bombsite and Geisha episode was an advertisement for a new series about these characters, so it didn't make much sense either. Two hours out of eight were given to the water, but they decided to fit the final battle in 10 minutes...just lol. I'm already silent about the inconsistencies like those that in the first episode, Home's lasers cut Kimiko into two parts, but in the finale, the same lasers did not even burn her sweatshirt.🤷🏼♀
I would compare this series to the dregs that was a long time ago. It also doesn't carry any semantic load, I looked / giggled and forgot in fact.
Maybe I'm so biased because of the bad last season, but to be honest, I can't remember what happened - wow, cool for all the seasons, maybe the first 1-2 seasons, but it was so long ago and it's already forgotten. Although, on the other hand, we managed to watch it to the end and not drop it, it's also a great merit. Mixed feelings are shorter.
They led the depth somewhere , eventually led to the fact that he was really fucked up . In his case , sacrificing himself in a battle with Homelander would be much better than dying at sea from an octopus , as for me
A wonderful ending. For some reason, I shed a tear at the death of my unloved character, Butcher.
Anthony Starr excellently played my beloved narcissus and incomparably conveyed his I am nobody/I am God moments. No matter how much I love Homelander, I am satisfied with his fate. The poor guy couldn't find happiness in any way. It was painful to watch.
I fell in love with Huey this season. Before that, I thought he was too soft. For some reason, this quality seemed sweet to me during this period of my life.
Well, xs, it seems to be a normal ending. They dragged out the stupid dialogues a bit, but I don't understand what everyone expected that they were so upset about. Clearly better than the final of the IP and CERTAINLY clearly better than the final of the SD, otherwise they are compared in "awfulness" with them. Well, the scene in the oval office is a bit boring, yes, bruising, this is a throw of faith for Kimiko from the Frenchman, but in general it seems to be normal, but I probably wanted more trash from Homelander, otherwise I kind of went crazy, but even more in words only
I watched the episode and I felt so hurt. Why was the Vi generation needed? I didn't understand at all. They didn't play any role in the finale, hot, Marie was presented to us as a super super. And in the end - or to rescue a bunch of useless people to Canada.
The White House is just a cardboard box. I thought: "well, now there will be a multi-pass and it turns out that the homelander is not sitting in the white house, but somewhere else, he will have time to kill many who do not believe in him while the boys are looking for him." And in the end, 0 highlights. Telepaths marked non-believers and no one killed anyone either.
What is another freezing of a soldier? Why is this character being turned around as they want, thawed, frozen.
What a cool season it was before the finals. What statements were made at the interview that the finale would be cool and unexpected, with a lot of deaths, these posters for the finale. And the result... I'm disappointed with the ending. The only thing that made me cry was the shot of Kimiko in France and the Terror...
Season 5 is some kind of liberal shit. the ending is just terrible. A soldier had to kill a patriot or take away his strength because of sympathy for him like a father for his son.
@Nar92: It seems to me that this whole branch with the gene pool is nonsense, the Soldier agreed with Butcher and stuck to the plan, he wanted to put on his secretions and desires of some woman... And Butcher didn't care about the kids, he was driven by revenge and rage... What happened is an incomprehensible movie. That is, the author considers these characters to be finished scum, but they act positively and on the path of correction, and then they are scum again, and these are not complex characters, this is the author's schizophrenia.
@dvstark: I don't understand how they didn't see it in Homelander from the first seasons. It was immediately clear that he was just like that. Take away his powers and he's nobody, but there's nothing to call him)
Another merged series, this is already such a tendency to sit on all the chairs with peaks and cocks, but ultimately the audience votes, we don't care that the studios leave loopholes for themselves to shoot sequels, prequels, spin-offs and other rubbish, it's important to us now, and many also watched this parody for a fee, the final the season would have been better if it had never been released at all and Kripke is an asshole, he dumped all of us for money, the finale of the boys is now the same dumb shit of dumb shit as Game of Thrones and very strange things. It is clear that there was a difficult task to approach the final, but is it serious? This one? Sometimes he takes Musk into space in a second, then he can't just fly away, but did these experiments with Kimiko work in a couple of times? Isn't that stupid? They shouldn't have worked if they wanted to take out the powers of Homelander, they should have unfrozen the Soldier, or like in the comic book, there's a finale with black noir and a Homelander clone, and in the finale Butcher had to spray the virus.
Everything I love: dirt, blood and disappointment.
The Homelander was smeared. Fast, dirty, without pathos. It seems cool, but where's the epic fight? They promised the apocalypse, but they got a showdown in the back room.
Kimiko — well done. She chopped them all off with one left hand. The octopus, by the way, was more memorable than the ending. Gen V wasn't even invited to the wake.
5/10. Not shameful, but not proud either. To watch is not to fall asleep.
Another series that couldn't make it to the finale. It's a shame, it's a shame. I generally understood that there would be a happy ending, but with such a weak season, I expected that the main forces and money would be spent on the final episode. No normal battle and the most incompetent Homelander drain.
In general, the ending is as average as possible, but it's better than the IP, but compared to the explosive 4 seasons, which went very well, it's just very weak. The soldier was actually leaked ahead of time. The very idea of depriving abilities through Kimiko will go with beer, but it also seems to be made up on the fly, and the last episode is very weak against the background of the entire 5th season. The location could have been chosen on a larger scale for the finale + it 's not so fast to finish the scene with a homedender. Well, on the whole, as if they hadn't put the squeeze on it. Yes, Butcher was sick of the idea of killing all the supers, especially Homelander, you can say he did it, but the reason that the dog died is crazy…
Of course, there are a couple of things that are annoying) was it worth filming the 2 seasons of the spin-off so that the characters would shine their faces in the frame for a couple of minutes for nothing? The moment with the soldier who gives B1 to homelander is generally darkness. This is what the beloved wanted. Are you sure you wanted to? This is despite the fact that the soldier knows how and from whom his beloved died. Here, of course, the ass is full. Well, with Bucher, it's somehow true on the one hand, but on the other, he took his finger off the trigger, which means he still saw an opportunity in another life. A new position from the president would be suitable for him. He knows how to kill arrogant supers. What about Kimiko? Does she sleep constantly or only after applying her new powers? Otherwise, if you do it all the time, you get a small reactor walking among people. Then how does she get along with anyone? And finally, I expected more epic from the final battle. Okay, that Home was made weaker, but that the whole showdown will take place in the Oval Office? Well, that. Do you remember the heroes in the secret passage who fell into a trap? The operatives also fired on them. I wonder where they went when the heroes escaped from the room. They're probably like, okay, they ran away, then let's go home) Well, somehow the satire did not please. I used to fuck everyone indiscriminately, but now I'm literally fucking individual well-recognized personalities. So Elon Musk was kicked, so much so in the forehead, so clumsily that even a joke didn't really come out. And so, of course, it's clear that the showrunner is sucking up to the Democrats, but most likely unintentionally ridiculing them, it seems, without realizing it. It could have been better, but not the worst ending, mawkish, predictable, but still a point.
I have to agree with the majority: there is no ending. As well as the entire final season. It's a pity, because the characters are initially very bright, and many actors tried their best. What is Anthony Starr worth as a Homelander! But for me, this ending is even worse than Game of Thrones and Stranger Things. Because at least it was epic there, and maybe I didn't agree with everything, but it made sense. Is everything so banal and immature here? And really predictable, which is even worse! The only thing I kind of liked was the end of Butcher, and that's what it was all about. The handwriting of Hugh is very symbolic and logical.
But I will not forgive how tastelessly the Homelander was cut down in the end. A quick death immediately after the loss of abilities is too easy for a villain of this level. Our heroes really had to lock him up somewhere and force him to suffer from his mediocrity and helplessness. I don't even want to think about Frenchy's funeral. 🤦🏻♀️ Why were there all these mentions of anuses, the crazy mare.
It also seems like a logical end to Deep, as well as the fact that his final battle took place with Annie (considering how it all started), but still something was missing. Probably confessions and awareness of my mistakes (I didn't need remorse, but understanding). But no, he just stayed dumb to the last.
In general, it was a failure. Why the creators of the series, which have gained huge popularity, do not want to understand; the finale is almost the most important part of any work. Because if you fuck him up, you're basically screwing up the whole story, spoiling the experience for the fans or those who thought they were them.
"Maxim died, and fuck him," Ruslan Gabidullin perfectly commented on the end of the series in the series itself) But it's a pity for the bugger, he was a real hero who had a stronghold many hundreds of times)
I was waiting for the underwater one to cling to their group, angry at Wout, who poisoned his sea friends. And I also want to believe that the kid tricked the Soldier and gave him the left vaccine and the Homelander is not omnipotent, otherwise how are they going to kill him?
I don'T understand why you should remove the Frenchman. In my opinion, it was logical that Butcher, the head of the devil's kneading, would die, because he was ready to die every minute. And all of the guys helped for the good. In the end, leaving Kimiko alone, who had a family as her goal in life? What did this incident supposedly teach her? Why then reveal family values to come to nothing?
Further. I don't understand why I should fire Ashley. As a character, she was also constantly striving to develop the company and helped the boys. Why should she have such a fate? In general, drama is illogical in any way. It's as if the scriptwriters forgot their previous scripts and came up with random endings for the characters.
Rather, Kimiko should have gotten pregnant, and the Star and Huey should have just opened their own business, where the Star periodically flies away to help people.
Butcher should have just died of cancer in his bed after the dog, I think. For some reason, this cancer was originally invented for him. Or shoot yourself with a calm soul. Huey couldn't have actually shot him with such ease and kindness in his heart.
What is Ryan's rationale for staying with his mother's Milk? They didn't lead me to this either. "I chose myself," so I'll be hanging out with Butcher's friend...
And why was there a line with schoolchildren from the Vi generation? With the superpower to do something with blood, it was possible to stir up such a gigantic battle... and not these 2 minutes of the shameful easy murder of a Patriot
@Natashakulikova: I didn't understand about Ryan either, he and MM hadn't really talked about going to his family before that 🤷🏽♂️ From the screen time of schoolchildren from the Vi Generation, I'm already burning up, if they weren't involved here at all, it wouldn't change anything, why would we piss in our ears that they are important and will have an impact on the Boys? This is such trolling from Kripki, like how you've been lying for so many years and people believed you were catching a facepalm from this and you believed my noodles?
@_ArxAngel_: Well, uh, he came home with Ryan and said, here's the grandson of a Soldier, well, the one who reduced our family, here he has the same abilities and a difficult childhood, a transitional age, in general, everything will be great anyway, well or not, maybe you will accidentally get smeared because of some conflict but it's a justified risk)
@-Holycow-: So Ryan is no longer Trapped, he and Butcher were holding the Stronghold when Kimiko fired the zeroing beam. Butcher is wounded on the couch as Dzhigurda says we are normal now
@_ArxAngel_: well, he was born like this, and this moment was not disclosed, besides, nothing prevents him from going to visit Edgar and regain his strength... The bottom line is that Ryan decided to live in the ghetto for some reason, instead of going to Canada like everyone else or cosplaying John Conor from the 3rd Terminator.
@-Holycow-: and it doesn't matter if he was born or not, he no longer has the strength. But I wonder if he 's going to use the flash , will the powers be the same as before or random 🤔 Ryan did not go to Canada, most likely because behind the scenes MM offered to live in a normal family, and I do not understand where and how, I think MM has a great choice. A normal family that will give him a roof over his head and an education, but in Canada he would be a tramp.
@_ArxAngel_: And since when has the plot been going on behind the scenes? Maybe they went fishing or hiking off-screen the whole series and became like father and son, well, what kind of idiocy... It's more likely to believe that Ryan became a tramp than that he was adopted by the MM family, but everything behind the scenes somehow worked out by itself, just the best explanation.
What kind of a long-suffering shit series is this? And that was the ending, really? It's just garbage, spitting at the fans of the series. Season 5 would have been better canceled, it's nothing at all. Season 2 of "V" was lousy, and this one is even worse. I wouldn't be surprised if the script was written by an AI.
The series is fire, of course 🔥 four seasons looked in one go 💪 but here's the 5th season, I don't know how it could have been so screwed up 😬🤷♂️🤦♂️ moreover, the season started normally, even well, it was ditched literally in 4 episodes, it's clear that the Patriot was losing his mind, but becoming a God is nothing Erica Kripke didn't teach season 10 or 11 (I don't remember exactly) about the Supernatural, when he also began to weave Faith at every step. This just finished off the series and it was no longer interesting to watch, so why did they bring heroes from the V Generation, if they passed by at all, for a snack: Butcher's (Patriot's) son went to a friend's family, why would that be?🤣 There were no battles for the ending of the series as such, just running and chatting, everything was mixed up in a pile and they showed such a shitty ending to the series…
But it seems to me that the Homelander was humiliated in the finale for nothing — his villainous personality was much more multifaceted. If anyone is offended by this merged ending, it's for him. His fate is no less tragic than that of all these Huey and Butcher. Moreover, he did not choose his fate and, unlike Butcher and Huey, he had been abused since childhood. In the fourth season, I think they talked about it, but in the fifth, it was like Kripke... just spat on the whole backstory and decided to turn the character into a caricature.
I liked everything. We finished it perfectly. Who needs to die, who needs to stay. Well, I'm sorry about the Frenchman. And so I don't directly support the cries about the merged ending and the comparison with the IP))
@Draznilla: fans' expectations always exceed the ideas of the creators. Moreover, no matter what ending they give us, we find something to complain about. For me, too, the ending is generally normal. The only thing that confused me was the very cloying ending. Everyone has everything mi-mi-mi, which is completely at odds with the original concept of the series.
@Алёнка2112: on the contrary, it seemed to me that despite all the trash that happened earlier, the characters continued to live quite normal lives. I was especially pleased with the "no thanks" from Huey.
It seems to me that it would be more logical to leave the strength with the kid, he seems to have naturally received his strength. The French had almost the same ending.
It's no longer possible, there's howling and whining all over the Internet about how badly the ending of the series was leaked, but how do you think really good stories should end?? and even more so some of the best?? So they were whining about game of thrones, and Heisenberg died in the end, and all because good stories end with a fat dot! And try to come up with a better ending than the whole fucking great series! So Dexter was resurrected for some kind of dick, and the series without Jennifer Carpenter is like without a soul, she was Batman and he was Robin! Or remember the movie peaceful warrior, where the grandfather clearly showed the cunt that the whole point and thrill is in the path itself and not in the final goal when he showed him that they were going to look at the stone! In short, stop making this comment and go on fucking whining! There will also be sequels and prequels for you, and one dick wakes it all up wrong and wrong because there is nothing to compare with the original dick!
@FractalCucumber: really good stories should end about ***nno, not like that. It's not even exactly the final here, the whole me season is here, so we hoped that at least the final would be wow
In general, I was expecting something like this, but it was a shame for the Frenchman. Totally unexpected But the fate of Homelander and Butcher was not such a surprise, although Butcher could have been merged more beautifully. In general, it's not bad, I thought it would be worse.
The finale is generally normal, but the series has lost its charm after the third season. Endless failed attempts to kill Homelander. It would have been possible to pull everything up earlier. I think the third season with the soldier was necessary, we found out about the trials of the Russians, which influenced the way to kill the Homelander. Why the fourth one? A virus? As if it were possible to finish all this in the fourth season, connect the stories of the virus and the search for V-1, let him become a God against the background of Home, and bring it to the finale. I was interested in this series, after they epically killed the invisible one, I thought, well, now they'll go through everything, as a result, they started adding new supers to the series purely to kill them more meatily, otherwise the series' age rating would have dropped without them. In general, my opinion is that no matter what the ending is, it looks good against the background of the last two seasons.
Weakly. Very weak. I'm already just silent about all sorts of stupid things and plot shields. But the death of a Patriot cannot be ignored. Many here have already spoken about the weak battle. I agree. Delivered carelessly. No girth, no scale. But then the last minutes are also crumpled. The Patriot's fear is not felt at all. It should have been done more coolly. For example, a Patriot starts running away on his own two feet in a fierce panic. Butcher just follows him slowly. And the trick is that the Patriot almost instantly exhales and falls to the ground, choking on air. Butcher eventually catches up and begins to make his trademark jokes in the style of "Are your legs giving out? Was the blowhole knocked down? People have been training to run fast for years, think about it." Then, in a panic, the Patriot takes a pistol from the confused guards, who are completely disoriented. The patriot pulls the trigger, but nothing happens. He's at a loss, trying to figure it out like a baby. Butcher easily pulls out the gun with another trademark joke, "Ha, you don't know how this thing works, right? Have you ever used adult toys? Here's an expess guide for you. You take off the safety catch. He's here. And...."Butcher shoots a Patriot in the leg or arm. He begins to crawl away in complete panic. He starts whimpering and almost crying, calling for help. To call my mother. And then cry out to God. Butcher is like, "Wait a minute. So you are God. I didn't get it. Can't you save yourself?" As a result, the Patriot shits himself. Butcher "And here's the shit coming out of the shit. Yes, people squeeze the point tighter so that the bottom does not tear at crucial moments. You have to learn too." And then there would be a gun if a Patriot had to LIE to save his life. After all, this was the basis of the antagonist's psychology for all 5 seasons. And after that, Butcher ends the Patriot with the words "And that's a star, my friend!" That would be powerfully staged. To make the Patriot's fear go right to his bones. How much have you done for the fuck....
I haven't expected anything from the series endings for a long time, I'm just enjoying the process. I'm not disappointed, but I didn't experience the wow effect either. Anyway, thanks to the whole team for the series, because it still has a couple of fucking seasons, and that's not bad, and I'm not talking about the fucking charismatic actors. It's a pity that Maeve never showed up, I read an interview with Kripke himself, of course, on this subject.
1) Can Kumiko now remove superpowers at will? Or is rage needed anyway? 2) Why didn't Butcher ask Kumiko to humanize the Asterisk and herself? Then I would have started the virus. 3) Did not understand exactly where Butcher put the virus in the skyscraper? A remote control with a trigger - what exactly was it doing? 4) Butcher had to wait for the "end of the shift of the supers" to launch the virus from the remote control. Why didn't you launch it right away? 5) If the virus is somewhere in a skyscraper, will it be released sooner or later? Even in years, decades.
May this series rest in peace, and Kripke along with him, so that he doesn't shoot anything else, so that Urban and Starr have many more cool and iconic roles, and the actress playing Starlight has recovered mentally, and from the bottom of my heart and out of good intentions, I wish all the spin-offs and sequels of "Boys" devastating negative ratings, so as not to smoke this perishable world with their existence, which is not worth their appearance.
The end came out a little weak somehow. Something was missing. It was as if they squeezed somewhere, and somewhere they didn't squeeze, and what came out came out. I don't know, there was some kind of unpleasant aftertaste at the end of the series. I can only compare it with the OSD, they also failed to leave. It's like all the trash and battles and all the fervor went into the first seasons, and the last ones decided to make a blunder to finish it already.
Instead of the semantic load, they stuffed the scenes with "blood, guts, cocksucker". Yes, this was also the case in all previous seasons, but in moderation and as a concise addition to the overall entourage (the cherry on the cake, if you will, although I don't particularly like dismemberment). As a result, it's weak, very weak. It's a pity.
Like "Game of Thrones" or "Boys," when you step away from the original source, you get a game, because it's based on a finished work. In my memory, there seems to be only "Mist" by King, where the ending was different from the book, but it went to everyone, even the author. I'm going to read the original "Boys".
I saw before watching the comments that the finale was merged, complete nonsense. It ended perfectly, what else should it be? A couple of important characters have died, it's sad, victory must have a price, the patriot is dead, the rest are happy. Awesome The only question is for the characters of generation V, they appeared in a couple of scenes and it's time to go to Canada)))) By the way, I took a picture with Butcher at the fan expo in Denver today, it turned out to be a cool asshole)
Well, the Patriot was well killed. I was pleased with his helplessness, fear and insignificance.
Butcher... There is no consensus. On the one hand, it's a pity for him - he's a very cool and colorful character. On the other hand, he's also been out of his mind for a long time. Killing all the supers is understandable on the one hand. On the other hand, there are many good, positive characters among them. But there are also a lot of bad ones.
I'm glad Huey survived. Their dialogue with Butcher in the finale was good.
I can't say I'm thrilled with the finale, but I'm not spitting on it either. The emotions are like this: it's over and it's over
I'm waiting for Ackles and the Soldier in the backstory. He's damn good at this role!
In the seventh episode, I cried because of the Frenchman, the death was tragic, but why was Butcher so drained in the finale? The series is one of the favorites, but after watching the final season, there are no feelings.
It's a completely normal ending for the last three seasons, people were imagining things for themselves and disappointed because of their expectations.
Hooray, I chewed on a cactus) No, it wasn't bad. By no means, it's just that I remember my feelings from the first season, and they're completely different from how I feel now. Perhaps because it was something fresh for me at the time, but it seemed to me that the amount of things that refreshed the series at the beginning had become many times more, and it was too much. Strictly, my opinion. The guys did great, they played great, you believe them, and it's worth a lot)
I don't know why, but for this series, for some reason, I didn't want a happy ending anymore, but a tinplate at the end. With his first seasons, he created a mood of hopelessness and blackness for me, but with each season he became more and more vanilla. Okay, Homelander was killed, but at least the virus could have been released in the end for the sake of at least some drama. I'm not surprised by the ending, because recent seasons have led to something like this. Otherwise, thanks to the show for being cool sometimes and Anthony Starr for the great acting and memes.
More chatter, less action, and less trash. It's right that they covered it up in the fifth season, the same generation was originally in the tiresome ug, and the posons have been flying there since the 4th season.
Somehow I don't even know, it doesn't seem good to kill even a criminal, especially since he surrendered and was not dangerous. Am I turning into Batman? 🤔
At the end of the season, I realized that most of them were not satisfied. Unlike those "Game of Thrones" or "Stranger Things," it all ended up in the logic of character development. Plus, all the references to the real world are great.
In a review of "Generation VI," he described how he came to such a life that he had been reviewing The Boys for the last few weeks. Briefly: last time, 4 years ago, I left them in the middle of the third season. And then the last season came out - we need to close the gestalt. Unlike "Generation V," it won't be exactly a review of the entire series. But not only the opinion about the ending, which, obviously, I want to speak out about. Something between the bars.
When I saw/heard about the appallingly low ratings of the last two episodes of "Boys" - at that time I had just watched the fourth - I, like Brad Pitt's character from "Fury", said melancholically: "And I, damn, am not surprised at all." After the grand finale of the third season, where everyone fought with each other and created unobvious alliances right in the middle of the fight, the fourth felt like a step back. It's not just his modest last episode in a cheap basement, but also the general despondency of all the storylines (take, for example, the Frenchman, who abruptly became a condemned representative of an LGBT + organization banned in the Russian Federation). The only ones who were pleased there were the sudden Papa Winchester (Jeffrey Dean Morgan decided to show up, apparently, in all the deconstructions of the superhero genre) and a local parody of Bruce Wayne, a racist Techno Knight with a black butler. He is also a deviant who enjoys bdsm and other maso. The joke lying on the surface about the ever-changing Robin sidekicks began to play with new (yellow-red-brown) colors. Well, even against the background of the spin-off, it all looked secondary and not so cool.
Anyway, I'm starting to watch the fifth season. The first episode is suddenly good. I think it's going to go downhill. The second and third flights are normal. Yes, sometimes the episodes don't rush at full steam. The scriptwriters elaborate on each character (even the bulldog). This is obvious from the point of view of logic - you need to say goodbye to everyone. At the same time, it's funny again, tough again, relevant again, and not as much snot as last season. The Frenchman returned to heterolono (whatever it sounds like). The new characters seemed like they should be annoying by taking up the time of their favorite heroes and villains at the finish line, but in fact they complement the picture. That leaves the last 2 episodes. Well, if it gets hot, you have to cook the feces and throw them at the screen. And... nothing. An absolutely normal ending, in which everything that was supposed to happen happened (I didn't finish reading the comic, I don't know how much it coincides with the main points). The authors closed all the storylines, killed the maximum of those who could be killed, and about the way it was laid out from the very beginning. And all this hype around "The boys disappointed us, boo" is not worth a damn. Well, cry. Is this the perfect ending? As far as I'm concerned, he's decent. Knowing the pit the Boys fell into in season four, it's a miracle that everything ended the way it did. All of this was reminiscent of the "Game of Thrones" syndrome (including the Boucher line, which always led to such a conclusion - it's just a matter of nuances). No matter what you do, everyone won't like you and you won't outplay the fantasy wishlist in the minds of thousands of viewers.
"The Boys" suffered from the surrounding hype and high expectations, a typical problem of long-running series. This is clearly not the ending of "Lost" or "Dexter" in terms of disappointment. I've never praised "The Boys" to the point of "oh, this is the best show in the world," and I've always been very reserved about it. From this point of view, I liked the series in general and its ending in particular.
P.S. Anthony Starr is great inside and out. When I first started watching "Boys," I couldn't believe that this was the same actor who played in "Banshee." Jensen Ackles is amazing. I'm glad they gave him a separate series. The "Supernatural" reunion is very funny (as is the cameo: what's in this particular episode, and scattered throughout the series). Karl Urban is good. Chase Crawford is mega funny.
@Bairum: I cooked the feces, and then I thought that the good would be gone... It would seem like shit, but absolutely normal... It's interesting how it should be perceived, I can't read this seriously.

Discussion: Season 5, Episode 8 Join the Discussion
726Almost everyone is still alive except the Frenchman, so I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to continue in a couple of years + the soldier is alive
It's just a new idea, because as far as I know, it was the last chapter in the comics.
By the way, we noticed how in this episode the Homelander literally flew into space in 2 seconds and returned (when the millionaire was carried away), or in the last one, he reached Frenchy in almost a split second when he knocked, but then he couldn't fly away from Butcher and Kimiko. (even in the Herogasm episode, when he didn't have V1, he flew away, even though he was pinned to the floor by three people). Or how he literally tore people in half with his laser (even in the first episode of this season, Kimiko), but he couldn't do anything here. It's clear that there are a lot of such moments in the series, but at least in the finale, the scriptwriters could have thought about it.
Now, for some reason, I've just reviewed the moments from this series, I thought maybe the first impressions let me down, but no, it's really a very weak ending, I once thought that the comic had a clever ending, but now I realize that it wasn't so bad there.
Despite the fact that there was a normal break between seasons, but they came up with THIS.
He's a fucker. Most likely, he just lifted it 200 meters and that's it.
So many of the characters' storylines were leaked simply by killing them or even strangling them🤣
And someone got two separate seasons to send to Canada.
CANADA, CARL!
By the way, does the Soldier sound funny? I forgot.
Or it goes off immediately after the flash, then it normalizes.
It's a pity that we didn't spend exactly 30 seconds explaining it properly.
we've found a point where our understanding of the characters is different, and that's okay)
In general, the season and the series ended quite as expected, I don't understand what people expected from the "fairy tale" about children. To make everyone die to hell? It initially looked like a Happy Ending series (yes, many people burned out on the LGBT monologue, and it was kind of out of place on the one hand, but on the other, it wasn't that annoying. The final fight was crumpled and painted over, but the Epilogue was good, so it's hard to call the ending ST bad)
B The Boys must be given credit for the fact that the series was made from a fairly average comic book, which, apart from a fierce tinplate and a raft of twist with Noir, offered nothing new. We've already seen everything, plus or minus, in Watchmen, The Tick, and so on. But the series gave both character development and backstory, and even an alternative arc to Noir (which, although worse than the original, nevertheless has a place to be and be loved). It was interesting to see the parallels of the arches of the Submarine and the Train, when they started from about the same level of "asshole" and how differently they finished. In general, in the final season, the first 2 episodes were very good, but then in 6 episodes we saw so much filler garbage that we immediately remembered the garbage season 6 of Peaky Blinders.
The last episode of the Boys may not have been straight 10/10, but it's clearly better than episodes 3-7, where apart from Samuel Jackson in the form of a shark and a gag with a dog, I don't remember anything. Yes, for some reason the characters are Gen V. Yes, the fight was banal, but in general the outcome was obvious.
I'm glad for MM. In general, if the first season was solid 8, seasons 2-4 are closer to 7, this one is probably the 6th
>In general, there is some kind of strange fashion for as many characters as possible to appear at the end of all TV series. What for? What's wrong with happy endings?
Usually, there's nothing wrong with happy endings. I love them very much, and the bad endings are always frustrating and just feel like a drain.
But here! It's just nonsense. They soaked everyone from right to left, they raised and raised the degree of insanity, and in the end they fucked it up. The children's finale came out, absolutely disproportionate to the whole series.
The situation in the SD is slightly different. The low number of deaths there just doesn't look realistic. It was like a series that felt like something that could have happened with a stretch. They presented it like this. But in the end, this immunity of the main characters (of course, except for one🙄) ruined everything.
In short, people don't know how to make finals. Although the guys outperformed many by doing it to the hilt, it's not a shame to end the story LIKE that.
I'm glad to see the abyss drain, he's still the most rotten character in the universe, and I loved him for that, but I also raged a lot.
Homelander also liked how they beat him, how quickly they brought him down from heaven to earth. It's funny that he wanted to escape while still having superpowers. A coward and a lonely boy, his death also caused many different emotions, from pity to satisfaction. Starr made a very incredible character. It's a pity to say goodbye to him.
And of course it's a pity that the Frenchman's chocolate still killed the Terror. The dog is said to have died in real life🥲
In short, I won't call this finale a masterpiece, but it's clearly not some kind of shit, as everyone writes. It's good and strong. Are you giving Ashley a second term as president
Five seasons will lead to the fact that the Homelander will fail, biting before the season for unrealistic destruction, and as a result, a mini-fight in the oval office and regular jokes about Kripke's dicks. What was the point of V1 at all?. Once again, the Homelander, who has unrealistic abilities, stands in front of the boys and waits. Well, as they say, "It's what clara would have wanted"
Not as terrible as the ending of the IP, but very weak. The season was a disappointment, we had to finish in third place.
Yeah, right. The IP finale is the greatest in history compared to this xD
It's obvious that the virus won't take him.
Kripke promised that there would be many deaths, and as a result, only Frenchie and Butcher, whose death was obvious, left the positive characters. Even fucking Sage was given a happy ending.
The characters from gen B also didn't affect anything in the end.
Kripke, with his satire on Trump, which killed the plot, should be kicked out of his job as a screenwriter for such an ending.
Well, the fact that Butcher has finally moved is also not impressive, he has been swinging back and forth like a pendulum for the last 2 seasons, now he wants to kill all the supers, now he doesn't want to. It seems like he didn't want to in the last episode, now he wants to again. The same as a Soldier, whose drain is generally a disgrace.
What a mediocrity.
It would be very brave))
If the story about the university of supers had been made independent, rather than trying to tie it to the main series, it would have made much more sense.
They were casually added to the main series in order to smoothly move fans from one show to another. Like a flock of sheep in the village
The moment when Butcher was standing over John's body was very beautifully musically framed - that disturbing music that usually appeared during Homelander's breakdowns, gradually turning into a sad and melancholic melody, as if describing Butcher's condition at that moment (John is killed, what is his purpose in life now?). And, at the same time, it shows that these two are literally two sides of the same coin.
Otherwise.. I can't even get upset, because after the previous episodes it was clear that there would be no ending.
Started with a bang, ended with a 'meh'.
Throughout the season, pesel was purely Chekhov's gun for the sake of disrupting Butcher, which, to be honest, feels like a very cheap trick.
Secret Service: We have 2 people for the whole house, that's enough
It's not that easy to get into the White House, after 5 minutes Annie flies away from there. They could have flown in the same way.
Well, yes, they are not updated every..) 1-5 days?) the season was just merged to finish as quickly as possible
Why this ambush at the White House? How stupidly the final battle was filmed... at first, the Homelander easily fights back, and then just freezes and watches (!!!) as his strength is taken away.
It was a very strange decision not to punish a Homelander, leaving him to live as a mere mortal. In an ideal ending, he hangs himself a couple of days after the fight.
Working Time also raises questions, but most likely Amazon will just launch new series in the Universe. There is no other explanation for this, because Butcher was right in the dialogue before his death.
The team started with vivid satire and maximum plausibility, and ended with some cliches. Sadly.
Who has read the original source? How close was it?
Why couldn't we just stick to the original source?.
As I mentioned above (and always have), the raft twist with Noir is the best thing in the comic (okay, and the ending was much crazier, but the whole gang rape comic is like that). But the series, moving away from the comic, gave enough growth to many characters and characters.
@Xenobait:
But the series, moving away from the comic, has given enough growth to many characters and characters.
I'm not arguing, I'm talking about the plot twists in the ending of the story)
As expected, the series finale turned out to be simple 🤮
Eric Kripke, you let us down.
A feeling of incredible boredom and sterility. It's hard to come up with a more crumpled and dreary ending. At the moment of the final fight with Homelander, the feeling "damn, but in the third season the mix was much cooler." There were some complaints there, too, but the fight on the Heroin with Butcher and the Soldier looked a hundred times more cheerful. This is not what you expect. There is no scope. Zero surprises and "these are the twists." The hope was that Home would start cutting out hundreds of people when the conversation turned to heretics, but we can't have anything cool here, right?)) All the coolness remained in the interview with the showrunner, and on the posters. I'll give it my due, it was nice to watch Home grovel, having lost his strength, but it was as if they hadn't put the squeeze on him either. Five seasons for this?... Well, thanks, che.
A soldier? Merged. Characters from Generation V? It's a stupid cameo that doesn't affect the plot in any way. I sympathize with those who watched the two seasons and thought it would somehow affect the main series. Death of a Submariner? As ridiculous as possible. The series seems to be famous for its tin, well, turn around somehow, let it be torn apart or something, or else a tentacle through your mouth, seriously??? And the fight was ridiculous, they waved their fists for two minutes.
Perhaps the last one is absolutely Butcher's reversal, because there's still half an hour left before the end of the episode. "Oi, my dog died, and my adopted son told me to fuck off, okay, I'm going to wet all the soups." It's just that the elegant Roskomnadzor was done by Huey's hands, because there weren't enough eggs himself. Imho, it should have been brought more smoothly to the fact that he decided to kill all superheroes altogether. His goal was to kill Homelander and avenge his wife, and he achieved it. That's it, Finita. And the supers are being bred in laboratories, but they are scattered all over the world.. You'll kill those who are currently active, OK, but that won't stop corporations from bringing out new ones, and so do businessmen and scientists who are ordinary people. Or am I missing something? :/
In general, it's not just bad, it's bad. It's just "no way." The notorious 5/10, in a couple of months I'll forget what happened here. The first and second seasons will always remain in the heart. There was really a tin, there was conflict, tension, it was even better relieved. We saved on the finale, but at least we didn't leak it.
PS. The death of the dog caused the most feelings during the season. Especially considering that she died six months ago (
PS2. Memes are the only good thing I found for myself. "This is what Clara would like." + Today, people started joking about "Scorched Earth? Rather, the soil is medium-rare."
P.S. But this doesn't justify Kripke at all. The guy kept a bunch of useless characters for 5 seasons, which he could evenly remove, freeing the budget from the salaries of minor actors, who, with their growing fees, greatly reduce it.…
P.S. I also thought that the series was very popular. Then I realized that this was the effect of a huge number of Homelander memes that flooded the Internet.
Although the serum stocks in the Homelander's office and in the laboratories have not been canceled. They can only be destroyed purposefully, but the one who doesn't put a couple of ampoules in his pocket should also destroy them.
The only thing I didn't like was Butcher's death. I imagined it differently, and not that his own kid would kill him, even under the pretext of infecting all the supers with a virus. That's not the most convincing motive.
I also don't quite understand the moment with Ryan. The guy decided to start life with a clean slate and did not want to live with Butcher, considering him a bad person. But then he followed Marvin, even though Marvin seems to have as many sins as Butcher.
Well, go ahead, write the script and send it, otherwise you've only written a nagging comment.
Kripke did it like the Supernatural: when you introduce a hero who is practically invulnerable and as powerful as possible, you automatically subscribe to some kind of improbable battle between God and a mere mortal. Therefore, the finale is without surprises. Perhaps this is better than the pointless wanderings of the characters for 1-3 seasons.
Thanks to Kripke for describing what we should experience from this ending. I just don't have the strength to hate it anymore. Thanks for what the Boys were like before. That's where we'll say goodbye.
All the main lines were closed: Ashley, Stan Edgar, Ryan, and the Boys themselves - they were all more or less dismantled and somehow closed. The issue with the bad supers has also been resolved. Gen V wasn't particularly interested in the spin-off, so I don't care about their fate.
Overall, the season was a bit weak, that's right. But I can't call the ending shit. It's really better than what was in the finales of GOT and the original Dexter wound.
The series, in my opinion, could have been safely packed into three seasons - and it would have been much cooler. Especially if the same money for five seasons was thrown at three. It would have been a really high-quality project. And so, well, the finale is more or less normal, but the last episodes before it were a bit hard to watch.
(by the way, this applies to another Kripke brainchild: if they had stopped at three seasons, it would have been a masterpiece)
We're definitely going to miss the most charismatic of all the series characters, this little French ringleader, damn it!
I won't say that it's completely bad, but let's be honest, we all clearly expected something else here.
It's a pity that the final seasons of great TV series have been dumped into the garbage chute lately, along with the hopes and expectations of fans. The curse of Season 5 is in action.
Still, I expected Butcher to pull the trigger. And Ryan will leave his powers (because they are innate) and survive the virus, becoming the only real superman. But spinoffs won't sell themselves that easily, apparently there are plans for those that follow the plot of the series.
Rest in peace Terror, both an on-screen and a real doggie actor 😥
1) Theory- Noir had his tongue torn off or replaced with someone else. A TV series? Just "he's in character"
2) The theory is that a Homelander is manipulated by a Saint, sending visions to him and pursuing his own selfish goals. It sounded pretty realistic, because this character didn't exist before, and then Home started catching glitches. A TV series? There's no connection at all, just a coincidence.
3) Theory- the characters of "Generation V" will participate in the battle with Homelander. Given that Mary can manipulate blood, it was thought that she would resurrect someone or affect the drug in the Homelander's blood. A TV series? A five-minute cameo and zero real involvement in the plot))))
4) Theory- Maeve will appear in the last season. Well, there's not much to say here, because she was deprived of her powers and in fact she has nothing to do, but as a cameo they could have shown themselves.
5) A lot of theories about the role of the Soldier, everything turned out to be wrong, the old man went to bed and did not even participate in the finale
I won't touch on Home's death itself. There were a lot of "wishlist", to the point that he would have been torn apart by an angry crowd. I'm just going to share a little fan creativity, where there's more epic and atmospheric in a minute than in the entire last season.:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPnN8bABA7o
And yes, I've been thinking about the Soldier, too... They didn't even show him briefly in the finale, let alone take a minute to show his reaction to what happened.
Well, didn't the movie work out when only the last 2 episodes got out? The series has consistently maintained high ratings, as shown by absolutely all platforms.
I think this just shows how big a fan community can be, which is already living its life generating its own individual scenarios) It just still has nothing to do with the screenwriters. Yes, the finale could have been more epic, you can't argue, but the bigger the community, the harder it is to please, especially in a topic like the finale.
The series that made fun of everything that was in superheroics ended the way all superheroics ends. The series couldn't surprise me at all.
I was already hoping that maybe if in the final shots, another high-speed super blows up Annie by the road, then this will somehow brighten up the series, and the series will wrap up well. But even that wasn't the case.
Well, for example, in the battle with Homelander, it turns out that Cypher fucked up our gang and she still had her powers and this was some kind of her plan. That would be a twist, just a twist. Or do screenwriters consider their audience to be dumb and unable to digest a complex twist?
Generation V just got the fuck leaked. It's just a failure from Amazon.
Butcher was leaked, purely to state that the "heroes" also died in the last episode. This whole line lasts 5-7 minutes.
In all this, I only feel sorry for Terror.
"In the finale of Boys, it will be revealed that Huey is actually a patient at a psychiatric clinic where he is being treated by Dr. John and Billy the nurse. Huey is in love with nurse Annie from another shift and calls all the other patients and visitors "super." He was admitted to the clinic after a severe mental injury.: his girlfriend was hit by a car, and Huey himself is convinced that it was a superhero with super speed.
Dr. John, by the way, is lactose intolerant."
And that's before he even accepted V1 himself.
I don't feel sorry for Deep, the ending of Homelander and Butcher was obvious, although I imagined the fight in the Oval differently, on a larger scale, more brutally. In some episode, the third or something. A Homelander glitch was shown where he cuts out crowds of people with a laser from his eyes, but this season he seems to be holding back in everything. They took the guy by surprise, became dumber and constantly waits for something.
One good thing is that Huey has actually found a new job, and that's not all.
P.S. It's time to finally read the original comic, since the series is over.
oh yeah. Black Thunder in the Second Doctor
The only thing I liked about it was that Butcher killed Homelander, that's ALL. Well, the death of Depth.
I'm happy for Huey and Annie, but it's a little vanilla.
Marie, Emma, and Jordan both showed up and left. Although in the last episode, Annie asked them for help, and in the end they got a job as taxi drivers.
The Homelander got what he deserved, presenting himself in front of everyone in his real pathetic form. Everything seems logical, but perhaps it was worth not killing him or killing him not immediately, but leaving him exhausted so that he would humiliate himself and do about what he promised Butcher, groveling before anyone.
Butcher's death at the hands of Huey seems to be a dramatic moment, but it also somehow didn't touch much. This can be said about all lines. For me, it wasn't the finale that failed Kripke, but rather almost everything that preceded it this season. Putting the ending of the Boys on a par with Game of Thrones, Stranger Things and Dexter (twice) I wouldn't. Still, everything is better here.
Now, after the imminent failure of Boys Mexico, we are waiting for the sixth season of Boys, where Stan Edgar resurrects Homelander so that he can continue to make meme faces and bring money to Amazon.
In all the seasons, there has not been a single large-scale disaster - at least to freeze a river, arrange an earthquake, or strike lightning from the sky.
Even Butcher wasn't torn apart from the inside by a self-aware tangle of tentacles.
It's literally the ending of "this is how Season 3 would have ended if Ryan hadn't pushed Grandpa."
Also, Butcher, without a goal, a son and a dog, literally went to kill himself about Huey. It was obvious that he didn't need any virus, even if he released it, he still wouldn't know what to do next.
Sadly. They could at least show that he and Becca ended up meeting in heaven.
As far as that's all... without imagination? It was as if they were looking for the shortest and most effective way to end the series rather than the most interesting one.
In the first season, they tell us 200 supers per America, 1 per city.
Then they show 50 pieces in an orphanage, 100 pieces in a university, and 50 pieces dying in a nursing home.
A total of 400.
Of these, about 100 were killed in 5 seasons of Boys and 2 seasons of Vi.
That leaves 300.
Then we're postulated that a strong, handsome super like Maeve is a rarity, mostly suckers like throwing up acid and burning themselves, eating the earth and shitting the earth. Let it be 30% normal.
That leaves 100 people. Some of them are very situational like a techno-king - if it weren't for the millions of dollars of 11 generations of his family, then his super-perception would not be particularly useful.
I remind you, in the vault where B1 was stolen from the safe, they say that Butcher and MM know a little more than 10 strong dudes who can break down a wall.
There are 20-25 literate dangerous supers of the old/new Noir level all over the world.
Half of whom will kill each other for a tasty position or their director will fail so that the 2nd Homelander does not grow out of them.
In general, as for the fight in the White House, after Butcher's death, there will statistically be 10-15 really dangerous capable supers. There was no army, and there never will be.
Well, in conclusion, the ending turned out to be too sugary for me, and if Kripke hadn't moved away from the comic so much, it would have turned out better.
Without trying to hurt or offend in any way :)
In this episode, the number of incompetently merged Persians has broken through all imaginable and inconceivable limits, I don't even want to say anything about it.
On the positive side, it's only Ashley and Ryan, and Huey, who symbolically returned to where it all started.
It's a pity that Kripke, in his attempts to make fun of everything, completely forgot that the Boys are not only about sarcasm and satire, but also about the most powerful plot, characters and meaning, which, alas, is not observed in the last season.
The only advantage is the Homelander's death. They showed it correctly, I was afraid they wouldn't be able to. The character got the ending he deserved.
The rest is a complete mess. Remember the posters where the Homelander in space looks at the burning Earth, and Butcher walks through the ruins of the Vaught Tower. Where is it? We were deceived in a despicable way.
As a result, the series and the entire season were drained, unfortunately.
Most of the questions were answered. In general, I still didn't understand the fuck to invent Kimiko's power if there was a Soldier (apparently, to freeze Ackles for another spin-off), and also the fuck to merge Gen V so stupidly (They say there was a plan for season 3, but Amazon canceled everything, so they went to Canada anyway). It was also kind of ridiculous that Terror died at exactly the right moment, but considering that the real dog actor also died after filming, it even turned out to be somehow poetic.
The other branches... Well, OK? The fact that Homelander and Butcher will fight without abilities in the end was not predicted, it seems, only lazy, Ryan also came back to help, Deep was predictably torn apart by sharks, Sage got her peace, Ashley got a character arc and a funny ending, Huey and Annie got the expected happy ending... In general, everything is VERY predictable, but not bad. Personally, for me, at least MM should have left for the drama (in the scene with bullets in the corridor from the ceiling, because he and Kimiko stupidly hugged each other out of there, I can't believe that he escaped the bullets at all...although even when he gets shot by Huey in the episode with the hospital, she also magically evaporates).
I'm glad that the final confrontation was between Huey and Butcher, it seemed to be more personal than a big fight, it was a good decision, and even in the hall of Seven. And the fact that Butcher finally changed his mind but decided not to tell Huey is also a good decision.
I'm incredibly pleased with the finale, and I hope Amazon won't milk the Boys until they're exhausted.
The way the last two seasons have been going, I expected a MUCH dumber ending.
Well, the winner, of course, was Stan Edgar. I wonder if Esposito will ever play Gus Fring again in his life?
@Lavash:
Well, the ending was a movie))) They played it in American cinemas, people paid money to watch this absurdity for an hour. The fact that there is no smell of quality, yes. But they've made some money! Profit, as they say.
I didn't watch the DVD, but it was also played in cinemas, and then people spat that there was no ending. But there doesn't seem to be any scale, there are some kind of monsters. But what is there to watch on the big screen, a five-minute fight in one office?
It's a very strange moment with asterisks' pregnancy, i.e. they have blood there, murders, and then they immediately show how cliched they are and they urgently need a child, well, everything else seems to have already been said.
Well, goodbye Guys. It was fun all 5 seasons anyway)
. P.S. I especially yelled at how they convinced us for 2 seasons of Gen V that this was the most important show, that it would play a role, that Marie Moreau was the strongest Homelander-level soups, blah blah, and then the show They closed it down, and Marie was put in a truck to take the refugees out of the show. The same goes for the virus - for a total of almost 4 seasons for 2 series, the virus was a McGuffin, and then... he was no longer needed, they fucked up "Kimiko the Soldier" for an episode, and that's it. And in fact, it was a useless plot waste of time, which served only as a "bone of contention" for Butcher's death, but it could have been dispensed with, and certainly not wasting so much time on the plot of the virus.
It's a pity that the channel's management is as beaten up as Kripke, and the show has become a psychotherapy room for their sick hatred of the government. A parody of a parody.
The denouement of Butcher and Huey's relationship generally looks like a hasty attempt to close plot holes. It feels like the showrunner just ticked off a notebook: Sage was leaked, a check; Kimmico was given strength, a check; Homelander was killed, a check; Depth, as the last of the seven, was killed in 2 minutes, a check; the CEO was returned to Wout (probably for spin—offs), a check; Huey was given a happy end check. Oh yes, Butcher!.. Well, let's come up with something on the knee.
The series itself is more like a passing episode from the middle of the season, but not an epic finale. Our team's fight against the villains is a joke to the chickens. The depth was drained in five strokes and a push into the sea, the preacher was gagged in a couple of minutes, and the Homelander was simply stomped in three minutes in one office, without even changing the location! Yes, in "Heroigasm" Makhach looked a hundred times bigger.
The series itself is great, I've watched it every year since the first season. It's a shame for the finale, in terms of the level of merger for me as a sole proprietor or a sole proprietor. It's just very sad and hurtful.
Well, I'm happy for Sage. She was so genuinely happy about the lack of superintelligence)) Finally, the girl will live peacefully))
Welcome to the club of merged finals, Boys
It was hoped that Kripke would still remember what this series was about and show a realistic ending, where Homelander simply tears up Butcher and Co., begins to destroy entire cities, search for "infidels"
No, catch jokes about anuses, cocks, a quick fight with Homies in the White House
Butcher was upset that Ryan rejected him, Terror died, and decided it was time to do the RCN.. However, he didn't have the guts, so he had to be killed by Huey.
Today we are gathered here to remember the Boys - a series that challenged superheroics, held up well for 3 seasons, but in the end turned into something it struggled with.
I liked Butcher's ending. The whole series showed that he knows how to live only with regrets about the death of his closest people, of whom, in fact, he had only two: Becca and Lenny, and then Hugh at the end, and that's because he resembles his brother. Butcher had already shown mercy and lied to Hugh that he would have pressed the button anyway so that the kid's conscience wouldn't torment him.
Homelander was leaked. They said all season that he was a rag without his powers (and he wasn't afraid with his powers anymore), which he eventually turned out to be, but it was an idiotic scenario, because throughout the series we were led to believe that the constantly restrained Homelander would simply demolish the tower and start shredding everything. on his way, Butcher will not be so despondently begging for mercy.
It's a pity, in the first season, he just rattled the audience's nerves at the moment when he asked Frenchy about the truck. As an antagonist, he deserved a better plot ending.
Even the usual superhero series don't end that way...
Even the most ridiculous and stupid outcome would be better than this.
We have a secret episode 9 waiting for us, with a real ending, you've been fucked!
And actually, of course, it's a pity that the series ended so stylishly, but what did we expect in 2k26?
Ironically, the Marvels were ridiculed, and in the end they ended up 10 times worse than them, but useless spin-offs began to be stamped one after another.
P.S. Interest in the franchise died with such a mediocre ending, I don't know who will continue to be interested in watching the "universe".
Just two episodes ago, they wanted to kill all the supers and were preparing for this by attaching a virus to the scene, the ladies prepared their boys that they did not want to live without them and were ready to die, because the great goal is more important. And healthy again! Bang, Butcher, I didn't want this, it just happened, look, I have balls, but I still didn't want to kill you (and I, stupid bastard, don't understand that if there was one filled with power and permissiveness, then there will definitely be another, because the way well-trodden, but power corrupts, history is cyclical) (c) a whiner and good-for-nothing Huey, who for some reason was suddenly offered a job by the President.
How they went to the White House is a cringe, of course. Only Ashley smiled, and the gun went off just in time. The battle in the Oval is as simplified and flattened as possible, but at least it's a fight that's been missing all this season. Ryan showed up, although I was glad of it, but where did he get so much strength against baty, if in the first episodes of the season it was only thanks to the will and kindness, I'm not afraid of this word, that he stayed alive? About the fact that both Home, Butcher, and Ryan were supposed to take off, they wrote above. But here again, miracles, Home is not omnipotent, immortal and the coolest super, but purely at the end of the top 5 dozen)))
And yes, if you really want to make a real happy ending in the style of Boys, then Butcher's plan must be implemented: all the supers will die, he will live with Ryan or without and search for his meaning of life (which is a hundredfold more difficult), Huey inconsolably cries for his girlfriend, as in the first episode of season 1, MM is also variable (from death to what was shown, I don't care at all).
But no, we will leave as many loopholes as possible to milk this "cow" to victory. And we will kill purely 2 antagonists , but we would like blood and bones .
And the whole season could be safely shortened to a slightly extended one episode. Anyway, Homelander's "immortality" didn't really make any sense. After all, they couldn't defeat him before that.
To hell with this franchise, its spinoffs, and so on :)
my estimates by season:
1 - 8.5
2 - 8.0
3 - 7.5
vi1 - 7.0
4 - 6.5
vi2 - 6.0
5 - 5.5
I'll review the first two or three seasons with great pleasure, and I'll probably review the others more than once (well, except for the fifth)
Well, purely that Star Wars fan from the Simpsons🤣
. Season 5 is disgusting as the series finale.
I despise the serial balance of power between the characters.
At the beginning of the season, the Homelander beams Kimiko in half, and in this episode he didn't even damage his clothes. The damage from the rays works exclusively on the tentacles, which seem to tear Newman in half, but the heroes are 100% stronger than these tentacles.
The Homelander is able to keep up with Atrain, but is unable to dodge Butcher's attacks or escape.
At the same time, all HL is under the influence of B1, rays to space, incredible power))0
The whole battle of the strongest supers takes place in one office, and there the camera wasn't even hit and the walls weren't broken. What kind of trash is this?
Deepa is killed by marine life. Just a tentacle through and through. how? Bullets don't take a man, but here the fish pierce right through. Where do dozens of inhabitants of the depths spawn from the shore in 1 second? Why is there not the slightest logic at all
The very decision to give Kimiko a Soldier's blast is just nonsense. They came up with it in episode 7, they implemented it there, and already at 8 they killed Homelander. Why shouldn't any regen soup be given an ultimate weapon? In 1 day, the same is done
If you delete line B1, then nothing will change in the plot. You can still kill a Homelander with poison and remove a scalpel in front of the camera.
The Soldier's line is simply shocking. Why was it unfrozen? For the sake of the prequel? Okay
Why did they show us the Vi Generation with absolutely zero impact on the plot? Just to make it happen? Okay
The 5/8 episodes of the season are half-full crap, but the Homelander and the Dip merge in 30 minutes (!!). What's it? Literally, the arcs of the two characters of the first plan are being closed at a rapid pace because well, everything is already final
MM and Ryan didn't like the ending. Generally.
How did MM get together with his ex-wife and what is the reason for this? When was the last time anyone even thought about her?
Why did Ryan stay with MM instead of Zoey?
And the Homelander should have been left to live out his life humiliated, exhausted and forgotten by everyone, for him it is much worse than death.
He's kind of logical, very simple and straightforward, all the bad ones are punished, all the good ones live a good life, everything is as it should be.
I'm more than happy with the series finale.
I'll miss you.
I thought there would be a mochilovo Soldier and a Homelander, but we only got the latter's attempts.
Thank you for Terror, we paid tribute to the memory of the dog.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that only the right-wingers tore into the ending and the last season, I just had a thought when I read the comments here that a lot of people didn't like the fact that the creators made too many allusions to Trump and the current US government in general. It just seemed to me that initially soups were disguised powers that be, that is, a homelander is the president of the United States / nuclear bomb/military industrial complex. that's why everyone is afraid of him, that's why everything is allowed to him.
It doesn't seem to be the most difficult thought, but perhaps the media literature of this series is lower than I thought.
But yes, my initial comment is not entirely correct.
Well, Eric Kripke is not an idiot, by any means. On the contrary, he is a genius. I made money off the people and walked around my penthouse smoking an expensive cigar. Well, or something like that. But the fact that he's a complete fucker, that's right. He fooled the audience, gloated in his public post about how we were all losers for watching this. Amazon and others like him will be promoted, because they bring a lot of money. Season 5 has become the most watched season, with popularity skyrocketing. It's a pity the product is crap, but why try if it brings as good as it does, and requires a minimum of resources and effort?
The tendency to merge the finals is fucked up, but it's unlikely to stop because at first the viewer brings a lot of money for this and every time more and more and in the finale they fuck up. And from the viewer's side, it's difficult to predict failure, especially if the beginning is very good. I didn't doubt for a second that the ending of very strange cases would be bad. Well, the result is exactly the opposite. The boys fill up the piggy bank. So even xs has something to say. I don't give a fuck, maybe sooner or later something will come to these assholes, but it's unlikely.
I don't know how it happened, but the first seasons looked much bigger. In the beginning, any super was a threat: he could just swat the heroes like bugs, but now the boys have such armor that it's hard for them to empathize. There are a lot of unnecessary characters, lines that lead nowhere, and they result in a finale in which the conflict is resolved in half an hour. The worst thing is that you don't feel the weight of defeating Homelander. He was supposed to be the final boss, to defeat which the heroes would have to use all the weapons and knowledge accumulated over the previous seasons. As it was, the death of the invisible man at the very beginning felt more epic than the homelander.
However, he did it the whole series.
Everything he didn't copy turned out to be bullshit.
Except that he did a good job of being a submariner, as a completely original hero.
, what was so fucking great? A twist on Noir, this is not the last arc. XL is not the main "villain" there at all. After unwinding XL in one issue, there were probably 10 more issues where Butcher was Hugh, and the rest was with the establishment
It smacks of desperation harshly.
You sit there, look at the direct appeal of the crazy blandin to the nation and realize that if not immediately after the appeal, then everyone will be mowed down for some time. There, about 100 people from the country's population, including Homelander's entourage, will remain?
Yes, the kitten is in shock.
Abyss:......noooo!!!
Something so comical, but childish)
It's like you're a parent, you had a dialogue with a child who learned something, he listened to you, and then he kind of gave out something like what the Abyss gave out. And if some mom had filmed it like Rils, he would have gotten knocked up)
But the fact that she wouldn't hurt the boys, that's right. Too. But in the end, I can summarize and settle on a simple "🤷♂️"
Imho, leaving Home alive would be the worst punishment for him. Stupid Butcher
Ideally, he should have been left alive as a human being, especially after he said he would suck and eat shit. He had to understand how to be a man and be afraid of everyone, to be a disgrace!
Eric Kripke tricked us!
The first two seasons are amazing, the third is very good, the fourth is bad but tolerable, the fifth is just disgusting!
So let me ask you, are these students in the same room with you?
Well, yes, mb was overestimated by many. But from the point of view of the script and the plot lines, the plot is crumpled, although the lines were closed in a hurry, but it was hard and bad. It was possible to remove the dumb jokes from previous episodes and add more screen time to the characters.
But they didn't do that, so the ending is honestly weak. I don't care if you agree.
I wanted to write my opinion, everyone has the right to it, regardless of getting into the stream.
As it is, there is no effect from the series... It's over, and it's over, as they say. What's on the other channel?
of course, the water was poured from the bottom of our hearts this season...
I hoped that the Star would at least kill the Underwater One, but it wasn't useful here either...
Let's remember pesel Bentley
Well, Butcher's current was somehow leaked.
Like many other shows, it clearly wasn't the best. It was obviously not the most dense in the plot.
Many of the characters were "hacked" worse than in the last season of Mayantsev. Believe me, I've seen worse.
Nevertheless, thanks to this series that it was. It was fun, dirty, trashy - in general, everything is as we like it))
It's so hard, the series is over, it's better not to start watching the series or die before their endings than to be so sad after each closing of the series.
The season itself is very dull, some kind of filthy beach episode turned out, it was more interesting for me to watch season 4, but here some episodes were quite a burden, and all sorts of cameos are neither hot nor cold.
I didn't like that Home was turned into a complete idiot, he stopped being intimidating, his powers were also weakened, it was unclear when, what and how much he was working, and the eternal Trump references, it even seemed to me that the actor was being smeared with self-tanning for similarity. It used to seem like they were joking about everything, but these 2 seasons are just one party line.
I hope the franchise won't be heavily milked anymore, the spinoff about the soldier will be enough for them, and the eternal conveyor of what was ridiculed all the time will not begin. I love the Boys anyway, the first season is perfect, I'll definitely review it, the actors are great, I hope everyone will still have good roles.
You shouldn't have given a Homelander the ability to fly faster than a Train at the beginning of the season in order to make him a brake at the end. The contrast is too striking.
The student body was also not treated in the best way.
But there were also positive moments, it turned out quite cheerfully and cheerfully.
. WHAT IS IT???
Why is everyone alive? Where is the promised "don't get attached to anyone" from Anthony??
The disappointment of the century, I was hoping for a completely different ending 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
the guy completely turned his brainchild into what he originally parodied.
There's some kind of mockery of the audience about the V generation, there are so many theories around them, so many expectations...And in the end, they're just fucking sent to Canada! Wow, thanks for this crucial plot twist, I feel like an idiot who was forced to eat a lemon for free.
The last few minutes have slightly smoothed out the disgusting feeling of the finale, but the lack of scale, a bunch of merged storylines, disgustingly slow narration and the transformation of a terrifying character into an absolute farce is all that finished the season completely.
Thank you, but I won't review it, I don't see the point in spinoffs and prequels either, it's better to re-read the comic. That's all I wanted to say
It is generally useful to comprehend what you are watching and reading, and to develop critical thinking and analysis. Understand where it's good and where it's bad. What works and what doesn't. But for someone, it's mindless to hack norms))))
An easy ending, you might say. To please the American audience))
Let's look at the spin-off with soldier boy and storm))
I'm not going to cheat, but there's no way out of the real ending of this story.But here the sediment remains, even if you do not start from the original.
Why did we watch two seasons of Generation V? To watch a 5-minute cameo in two episodes? Where's Kate, where's that curly-haired kid
Marie Moreau's task is to take 5 people to Canada?
The Boy Soldier was thrown back into the jar, apparently there was not enough budget for Eccles by the end
The Stormfront story arc is also not closed, we've been beating around the bush all season, and in the end we didn't say anything.
The Battle with Homelander: as if Chirogasm looked more impressive.
Starr played it as if the second coming had already happened, this swing from an all-powerful "God" to a worthless little man begging for mercy was well 10 out of 10, it was already disgusting to look at him.
But then again, it's kind of simple, I hit it with a poker and I'm ready.
At some point, it seemed like it was all some kind of prediction or vision that hadn't happened yet and everything would roll back (hello Twilight)
With the Underwater one, they could have beaten him in a different way, he is, of course, a Syktyvkar, but after Homa's words, it was possible to come up with something with him.
Sage went on a roller coaster ride in Orlando.
I liked the scene with Huey and Butcher, as expected
The ending, as I understand it, ridiculed the standard Happy endings.
Terror ❤️
There are more complaints about the fact that the Soldier was absolutely brazenly removed from the plot before the final episode. This is some kind of nonsense, Petrovna, especially his "that's how Clara would like it." I didn't buy this game at all. Otherwise, it's fine. In the last dialogue, the Soldier made another fat reference to the Characters.
The way Homie groveled was generally good. Although I would have let him live - for him to lose all his strength and live like an ordinary person is worse than any death. The fact that he would be walking down the street, absorbing all the contempt of the world for his deeds, completely unable to fight back, would look much more cruel. As it is, they just killed me. Without much zest.
But this series has brought me so much joy and pleasure over the first three seasons that I will always be grateful for its existence.
And to all those who were waiting for some kind of unreal starman and genocide in the finale, I would like to remind you that "Boys" has always been a kind and toothless series about the magic of friendship, and the ending fully corresponds to this spirit.
- Two seasons about characters who leave for Canada after 10 minutes of screen time.
- Kripke's promises.
- The power of love that helped Kimiko.
- A soldier left in the fridge.
- A pack of filming spinoffs, for which the series once bantered movie comics.
- Death due to flashbacks.
- The Oscar is for Anthony Starr.
The only advantages were the Homelander's fucking crawling on his knees in front of Butcher, Ryan's height as a character, and the fact that they didn't hesitate to bring down the characters. I really thought that the Depth would pass the arch of redemption, and the priest would defect, but they did even better. And thank the balls that Butcher is dead. If a man had stayed alive after everything, not just with a happy ending, but at least alive, he would have been fucked. In short, the average temperature in the hospital: the entire salary of the scriptwriters went to Ackles' fee for filming the spinoff.
@JennyRay: ** I ALMOST FORGOT.**
Starring: Nerf powers Homelander for the sake of the plot. Cut off limbs with lasers from the eyes? You'll just scratch. Did you move almost at the level of the fastest speedster in the USA? You won't even have time to get off the floor to fly away. Did you break free from capture when you were being held by a V1 Soldier and a V24 Butcher with powerful powers? Fuck it, you'll be fucked by your pussy and a cancer-stricken hentai Butcher. Have you seen everything and heard everything through the walls? I don't give a shit, let's make sure that anyone can get close to you. And that's just what you can immediately remember.
P.S. Gene V, which in the end was not needed at all, is a separate joke))))
And you know, I don't want to write anything negative.
I'm just upset and disappointed. Not only that the finale came out like this, but the attitude towards the audience and the fans themselves.
In fact, after such finales, there is less and less desire to watch TV series.
Or if you did this shit for two minutes, then you should have made sure that Butcher actually released the virus and all the supers died, and then Huey would have already killed him.
OR AT LEAST RYAN BECAME THE NEW HOMELANDER.
Shortly This is the show where the happy ending should not have been! Everyone's heads should have been flying, not just the villains and the Frenchman. It's completely crazy that they made a slobbery ending where Huey returns to the starting point with a child named after his ex (although even such an ending would be normal if there was a tin before that, BUT NO).
In general, the bottom.
Well, yes, why the fuck would you ask people to tell you what they were waiting for, if in the end the answer is perceived like this? :) I literally described several options for what, in my opinion, would fit into the logic of the series, and did not say that the only other option would be great, and this one is shit. It was possible to come up with anything, but the scriptwriters chose the most boring and illogical (when compared with the endings of other seasons, and indeed episodes).
We should have finished the first season.
The end is natural. The bad guy is dead. Both are bad guys.
To be honest, I feel sad after watching it. This series presented a Homelander who was completely blown away by a psychopath, whom I was interested in watching with sadistic pleasure. The actor is wonderful, his facial expressions and emotions are incomparable. It's a pity that everything ended. And it's especially sad that I had to kill a Frenchman for such a happy ending, although I don't see the point in that. As Huey and Starlight rode off into the sunset, so would Kimiko and Frenchy - I would be immensely happy, I think, and many would be happy.
Shh, a glass of milk for everyone! Anyway, it was fun.
I thought it would be hinted that Ryan still had the strength, he didn't become a superman from the drug.
Actually, it would have been a great ending if they had ended up like this for season 3 and not artificially dragging the plot out.
There are practically no alternatives in the genre. And maybe this show is not for revision, but I have laughed many times, from the bottom of my heart, thought and reflected. It was cool. 🙌
Bucher van love 🫶🏻
- Slightly burnt carpet
For 5 seasons, the Patriot (Homeland) theme was frozen, but it was merged like this... It's mediocre. In my opinion, these lines at the end about "shit" are generally superfluous, of course, trash played an important role in the series, but this monologue was inappropriate. They wanted to show what a coward he was, but in the end it was a pathetic attempt.
The "V" guys are purely a set, that's where the real laughter is. They traded their faces and left.
The depth was hastily drowned, it was predictable, but it turned out to be too formulaic, and as a character, in fact, he never developed, only selected the timing.
The ending with Butch is probably more complicated, and there are questions, but at least he didn't run off into the sunset with a pink pony. The season started off interesting and gradually began to decline with episode 4. Sorry.
I always try to find something positive in the endings, but here I am disappointed. So many branches are merged and there are opportunities to make an epic battle, to give a decent death to the characters. Blood and bones? It's more like snot and regret. Bucher's face when he killed his enemy expresses all the emotions - disappointment.
Okay, if at least some pianos had come out in the bushes, we could have had a chat or a discussion, but they turned out to be so mediocre at the end of the series that they made everything as dull and boring as possible, how sad and disappointing all this is.
In my opinion, we have a new record holder for the most merged ending in the history of television, well, at least in the 21st century for sure. Daenerys Targaryen is just smoking on the sidelines and giving a standing ovation compared to this mess. The disgrace they did to Homelander is actually the authors of this nonsense, they should be in his place, and the fans should do the same to them with a tire iron. I especially screamed from the moment when Homelander said that Butcher owed him, because he spared him many times. that is, they also created, among other things, themselves They signed off on the fact that the entire plot of the series was completely sewn with white threads. Now I understand and fully share Anthony Starr's indignation at the ending. It's so incompetent to merge the character, the fans deserve more than the most primitive version of the denouement.
They seemed to laugh at the "Very strange things" that no one was killed, saying the Boys would be a mess ... but the ending turned out to be the same happy ending.
I haven't read the comic, but I know the ending from there, we saved the arch with Huey and Butcher, thank you.
In general, there is a lot left unfinished, like what will happen to the Vout? Why the hell did they even announce that Generation V soups would play an important role, and they were shown a couple of times throughout the season?
And for the last season, their appearance is purely a waste of the budget in the trash.
The Dip is cool too. It's a pity that he only got it in the last episode.
I didn't like the part of the episode in which Butcher swam (albeit under really understandable and tragic circumstances) and went to kill supers. Although his words were not devoid of meaning, the main task was completed. This part of the series was created simply so that, well, he also needs to be fucked, and that's the only way we came up with such a narrative of the plot. I didn't like it, because they made an optional death out of a plot that didn't fit. And even if it was also in the original source, it is not necessary to repeat it at all, since this is its own story. Saying goodbye to him is sad, of course, because he is charismatic and cool. I was telling Huey a little shit that he did the right thing, because he wouldn't stop, even though he actually started to stop. It's such a parting gift to make Huey feel less guilty about it all. But I still don't like this part of the series right now.
The rest of this series was good. I can't say that about the season.
And with Huey: the psyche doesn't work like that, if you're told that you did well, that you killed a man, or even "that's what you should have done," then you're not gnawing at the pangs of conscience. You're fighting, worrying, and spinning a bunch of options on how you could stop someone close to you without killing them. Even if you don't like this person. Huey is not Butcher 2.0 or Home 2.0 for psychopathic deviations in the form of absent regret, we were shown exactly a delicate flower who always worries about death.
But it turned out to be a fart.
In fact, they just repeated the end of the season with the soldier, but this time they were not interrupted.
Deaths suddenly became easy. Before that, for 5 seasons, everyone was beaten, beaten, thrown, thrown. And then suddenly there's death, like in the Garik Potter finale. (A lot and meaningless) as if the murder quota is boring to close until the end of the season.
In general, it's very bad
They killed all the "bad guys": Butcher, Homelander, Underwater, Priest.
All the "good" ones were whitewashed and given a new chance. It didn't cause any feelings: no worries, no tears, no sense of satisfaction that the bastards got their way. It's so simple and childish. All the good wins, and all the bad will be punished.
It's a pity, everything started so well, and, as always, they don't know how to end.
It was necessary to kill everyone: both from the "Boys" and from the "Vout". Because none of them were good people. The fact that they decided to show Huey as a proper boy with principles is nothing at all. He's just as duplicitous as everyone else. Only Butcher had the courage to tell the truth and bring the matter to an end. There are such sick supers as Home, every first one. And just because the Star was sleeping with Huey, did that give him the right to decide that no one needed to be killed? The height of hypocrisy!
It's just a pity for Butcher — he was left alone because of his burden and died. That was sad, he's a real superhero. And all the others are cowards who then suffer because of it.
About the fact that once you have a relationship with Starlight, you don't have to kill supers: we've already passed this point, everyone has agreed on everything and accepted that it's necessary, that you have to say goodbye to your loved ones (although this couple can't be called beloved this season), there's nothing beautiful about supers and artificial cloning of superhumans - that was the message of all the boys. But it turned out, it seemed.
I'm disappointed
, it seems, and all the lines are closed, but there are still a lot of questions, why was Marie Moreau needed?
I've been waiting for so many seasons for exactly how Homelander will be killed, but it's definitely not like that
The ending is good, logical, and I give the series a 9/10. I am sure that I will review it in the future and be nostalgic with pleasure. All pis
The only thing I didn't like was the fused Soldier. They brought him out of creostasis, then shoved him back in, and no one remembered\\ found him in the finale. It's kind of weird, and I think it would be possible to come up with a better ending for it, like, for example, Sage, who just left. Well, the Soldier wanted to leave, let him really just go far away and he won't be in the finals anymore, because he doesn't care about these events.
In general, it's a normal ending.
Yes, it may not be as bright as we would like, but it is quite worthy.
All good things come to an end, just like this series.
Thanks to the creator of the comic, thanks to the creators of the series, it was a good time.
Well, it felt the same way here. Like, is that logical? Well, yes, if we're talking about the philosophy of comics and popular culture. Vital? Well, in general, it's probably why the opponents don't solve the problem with a fist fight. Was that what I was waiting for? No, of course not...
I'm sorry to those who believed until the end that the finale would not be merged.
It was ridiculous to expect that the codes and tunnels to the White House would be the same as last year))
As the worshiping exploded from the gag it was orno
The homelander, whose laser gaze cut everything on the spot, is now just pushing the supers away
It's very noticeable that everyone was nervous and everyone was merged in one episode, purely for the finale.
We've been waiting for this Butcher-Homelander fight since 2019!)
But there's some kind of ending, as if it's still unsaid.
If the season itself was average, then I really liked the ending.
I don't remember people digging into everything like that before.
We used to watch TV shows too, and people liked something and didn't like it.
But now, no matter which series I open the comments to, I'll get 100 critics at once, and where's the budget, and where's the action, and the dialogue, and it's not like that, and it's not like that
For me, everything ended as it should, MM is alive and living life with his family, took Ryan away and in fact, he will be a better father figure for him than Butcher or God forbid Homelander would be.
Huey and Starlight are also expected.
The underwater got what he got, died despised by everyone, rejected even by his fish, there is no place for him anywhere and there is no one left, a suitable death for such a schmuck like him
Homelander, I was in the camp of those who admire Anthony Starr but wait for Homelander's death.
The only thing that was strange to me was that when he lost his strength, he began to humiliate himself in front of Butcher, I still thought that the fear that he inspired in people, the power that he had, did not correspond to his behavior afterwards, he behaved worse than underwater, begging to suck off just to be spared.
Well, Soldier Boy, it's clear that a spinoff awaits us, but I would like to close the normal line here, regardless of the other series, and not what we got.
And we ended up playing Billy Joel.
In general, the season itself is on seven, and 8/10 is the final for me.
It used to be a satire on everything in general, in the end it's cheap banter on Trumpists. And then, of course, Trump had to be completely humiliated.
In the beginning, what's not super is scum, what's not the main character is not the hero. By the end of the series, they were only divided into the good and the bad.
In a good way, everyone should have died except Huey, maybe. They would have staged a super battle where someone from the main caste would die every 30 seconds. That would be in the spirit of the series. And it would be remembered for a long time. As it is, the ending is too refined and simple.
Everyone in the SD was unhappy that there were no deaths
What's not enough here
Xs, why is it so hard for people to accept a more or less good ending with Happily ever after like Starlight and the same Huey
However, I would like to mention the most merged character - this is the Vout Corporation. I still can't believe that a corporation that didn't piss off working with the Nazis and conducting experiments on children controlled the supers solely through loot. And that in 50+ years of her activity, she has not come up with a weapon against them. Especially when the Homelander appeared. In the original, Wout was not so toothless.
In general, from the Boys of the sample of the first seasons, one could expect some kind of unpopularly shitty ending for the characters, but the tendency to average the intensity of the cunt hinted that there would be no total decay. It's a pity. I was mentally prepared for the fact that everyone would die, or a dystopian post-nap would happen, or well, something completely sudden, for which my imagination is not enough. But we have what we have.
It's infinitely insulting that, with all the other survivors, they killed the Frenchman for good. In the fifth season, he became my favorite character. And in the previous ones, if you think about it.
It's super sad!!!
It's wow!
There's only one question.:
Why was there a series about Project V?
If they didn't solve anything
The logical conclusion. A kind of happy ending. Musk and Trump were killed. Hooray 🎉
Immediately, he did not damage Kimiko at all, although she has no super strength at all. Like Ryan, he could knock him out with one punch or send him into the stratosphere.
He is as fast as Train A, which the human eye does not even notice when running. Then his speed was taken away from him.
They held him in place with their hands, what?! He could fly away with them, run away. Together with them, I could do 100 laps around the office and leave nothing of Kimiko with the same Butcher.
Again, the Homelander was violent in the beginning, super-strong, and still heroic. And he slackened in micro moments when he was alone.
They immediately took all this away from him, and made him a whining schizophrenic, raising all his suppressed pens to the absolute. They turned him into a joke (again, apparently because they decided to make Trump out of him, and then humiliate him so humiliate him to the fullest)
Previously, all trends, all movements, everything were ridiculed. They didn't divide everything into black and white.
As a result, it turned into a thick banter over the right, even a Mask was inserted for some reason, which he somehow managed to send into space in a second
The plots with the new Noir, Soldier, Sage, and characters from the academy are completely fucked up.
They didn't even develop the plot with the virus. Why give Kimiko new powers in the basement on her knee if they had a Soldier with a wunderwafle?
They could have shown a super bloodbath in the last episode without leaving anyone alive. But we made a happy ending for some reason.
As a result, as soon as they decided that they would do better than the original, they merged everything and turned it into a political campaign without a coherent and interesting plot.
Well, it's a great joke that starlight threw deep to the seashore, not knowing that he had a problem with the underwater world, so why the fuck would she choose this particular place for battle, of course, because that's how the scriptwriters need to complete the underwater arc and it pisses me off the whole season that we don't follow the characters but the scriptwriters in a good movie It shouldn't be felt
Rather mixed impressions after watching the series.
2.the Supers survived, and many of them were on the side of evil. What will happen to them, how will this continue to be regulated? Who will be punished for crimes?
3.The Star is just a disappointment of the season. A tactless character who only caused irritation. I couldn't even overcome the depth.
6.The Decisive Battle turned out to be a little strange. The Patriot just watched Kimiko try to take away his strength
7.Leaked The Soldier. It remained frozen in the cell. And there was such a potential…
Overall, it's a weak season. For me, it is clearly visible how the series was sliding down according to my own comments on this resource. I started writing here from the third season, and with every episode I was bursting with excitement. I was still scribbling a lot in the fourth season, but there was a lot more criticism than excitement. And during the fifth, I didn't want to write at all, because stupidly nothing was happening. There may have been a lot of memes and good jokes, but the most important thing - the plot - was not delivered. The final season of the series, which once set everyone on their ears, shouldn't be like this.
The fate of the Soldier remains a mystery, lying there in his cryo chamber and does not even suspect what kind of batch he missed... they'll wake him up in 100 years, when all this hype settles down and the person gets used to the new world again...but that will be another story..
There is something to show for, but there is also something to thank you for.
"I hope people will be surprised by how much emotion there will be in it, there has always been a lot of sincerity and hope in the series. I think that's really felt in the finale. There will be big fights, big confrontations and big climaxes, but we really tried to focus on the emotions." If you saw any of this there, then everything is fine. 👌
And as for a happy life under the yoke of Homelander - no, I can't even imagine what kind of happiness. And I am saying this as a person who is completely loyal to the current government, and who is quite comfortable, except perhaps blocking and censoring the Internet. There is a definite limit beyond which totalitarianism cannot be combined with happiness.
The series has an ADVERTISEMENT. The posters relate to it. What does neural networks have to do with it???
It's amazing that the company wasn't sued for false advertising. Now, in 2026, I would like to advertise the product (and a TV series on a paid platform is, wow, a product!) and piss in the audience's face, promising scale and epic. An interview is not an argument, the guy said, the guy forgot, but trailers and POSTERS, yes, this is literally a promise and an impact on the viewer.
I'm so glad it's finally over and we've all bombed out. I shake hands with all the new arrivals who only realized something at the very last moment and saw the light of Eric Kripke's level of degeneracy, and the ending is exactly as mediocre as I foresaw it all, so I didn't feel any emotions (well, or I just already had a tolerance for disgusting endings)
I didn't expect anything and was quite satisfied, yes, it could have been better, but it's still definitely better than the final of the OSD
For some reason, over the past few years, all the top series have been sinking hard in the final season, I don't know if the creators are running out of fuel, or if the budget is running out, but if we compare the 1-2 seasons of the Boys with the last ones, it's like it was written by two different people.
Anyway, I still love this series. Anthony Starr deserves an Oscar
A cozy and peaceful ending!
Everything happens the same way as we were shown, UNTIL the scene where Ashley's impeachment is announced on TV: Butcher communicates with the District, who sends him, then Butcher goes to his room and sees a dead dog, then his gaze falls on the flask with the virus. The next shot shows Butcher standing in the doorway in the semi-darkness, which Huey notices, while the others are listening to a TV show where they talk about Ashley's resignation. Next, Butcher disappears from the frame, and then we are shown that Annie and Kimiko start spitting blood. Hugh is blown up and runs to Butcher's room, where he sees a dead Terror, and then an empty flask of the virus. He jumps out onto the street and sees Butcher's car driving away, without thinking, jumps into another car and begins a chase.Next shot: they show friends from Gen V (Marie Moreau and company) who are going either to Canada or already from it, they all also start bleeding from their eyes and mouths, Moreau is trying to somehow cope with this with the help of his "blood magic", but As a result, their car skids, and we realize that they are all dead, too.
"I was PRESIDENT, and now I'm nobody! What the fuck is this life for me?!"
Her hand reaches for the gun, but then her "other self" starts coughing, Ashley reaches for the back of her head and sees blood on her hand. She screams in horror, trying to figure out what's going on, and blood starts flowing from her mouth, too. Next frame:
And shoots Butcher. Next, she also approaches him (as shown), holds his hand, because no matter what, our baby Hugh is a kind guy. Butcher tells him the same thing he said (that he (Huey), despite all the shit, remained human, and did the right thing by shooting him, because this is his revenge for Annie, but at the same time he himself (i.e. Butcher) He couldn't have done anything else either, because as long as all the other supers were alive, even if Home was dead, his mission and revenge for Becky's death would not have been completed.
Next shot: Uh, Ryan and Huey at the cemetery near the graves of Butcher, Asterisk and Kimiko. Gray, gloomy sky, no farewell speeches, all three are silent. Then MM says to the District, "Let's go, kid." They leave, leaving Hugh alone, who begins to sob and falls to his knees in front of Annie's grave. The next shot: MM knocks on the door of the house, his wife opens (no scenes with a second wedding, why all this snot?), they hug, the audience realizes that MM has his family again, and adopted Ryan of course :)
Titles.
I feel sorry for the dog((
A pregnant Starlight, while being heroic, is of course a top
I waited two seasons for them to kill Homelander and Deep, how many attempts and opportunities were missed, and they did it, the beauties!
The only thing that upset me was that Butcher, Frenchy, and Terror ended up dead. Although they left with dignity)!
Of course, it turned out to be crumpled, it could have been done better (something can always be done better), but as it is, it's also quite good.
The series goes to the heart of Dexter, The Bridge, Breaking Bad, Dark and Ted Lasso😁
All Oi!🖖🏻
I watched the finale quite early, when there were still 50 comments, and started writing my own in the spirit of "what else can you expect from a series if it has spin-offs even before it ends," but even stalled
then I looked at who Kripke was, what he had done before (Supernatural only, according to in essence), what were the overall ratings and ratings of different seasons from critics/viewers..
in short, I buried myself, and now some kind of disgusting feeling appeared that this was the calculation, as it were - haight, comments, popularity, etc., although not from Kripke himself / other creators, but from the bosses of Amazon, for example (well, the first 2-3 seasons were thought out and made accordingly, and the rest is on the wave of HYPE by appropriate methods, like don't care about quality, the main thing is buzz, "attention"..)
therefore, I changed my mind about writing the comment myself, but after some time I still threw this video here as a "gestalt closure" :)
As for the seasons, I agree, the first three bantered everything in a row under a layer of black humor and jokes below the belt, and then there was one-sided banter over Trump..... Yes, well, I won't take a minus, there are a lot of people who spoke out.
Actually, I'd love to see Homelander win, and I'd be looking forward to season 6. This is how one could turn around, dystopia, totalitarianism, a permanent leader. People are like zombies, treated by telepaths.... From treshak , one could move towards a harsh dystopia ... But the creators clearly had a different goal for seasons 4 and 5) but what about the audience? And the viewer feels the propaganda being imposed, just the ratings and reviews show this.

@ИнтeрecныйФиллep:
the seriousness of these guys in these statements
It looks like Kripke as a showrunner turned out to be like Sage as the smartest
I don't know what kind of action you expected at the end, but it turned out to be a pretty normal finish.
I was hoping for a surprise from Underwater, where they could make a beautiful fight, but alas.
It's a good ending, everything is in its place. I just didn't understand what virus the president was talking about to Huey, I thought they hadn't released him. And anyway, I thought Singer was dead.
It's a pity that in general, the series is liberal, for all the good, against all the bad, and that's it. But the corporation stayed, the old head came back, as if they would fix it (spoiler alert - no)
It turned out well.
Yes, Kimiko is a little crumpled, but in general, the Homelander lost his strength and groveled in horror - it makes perfect sense.
Butcher did not deviate from his plan, but allowed Huey to stop him.
It was a very dramatic moment, actually. We were shown that something human had awakened in him, that Huey had reached out, but it was too late. Eh. Well, it's also logical. The patriot is dead, the goal has been achieved, there is nothing left to live for.
In short, I'm happy with the finale, especially after the weak 4th and 5th seasons in general. A worthy conclusion.
"After so many years? - Always!" ©
🤣🤣🤣
1. Why did we need a spinoff about Marie Moreau if she didn't influence the plot of the last season in any way? You can see how the scriptwriters changed their shoes on the move and simply removed Marie and her team from the finale. Well, you don't want to make the girl the hero of the Boys, well, give her the opportunity to resurrect the Frenchman or kill Synapse and other Homelander henchmen in the end. Why would season 2 admire Moro and her abilities to flush her potential down the toilet?
2. Every season and every episode, we are shown the growing threat of the whistling flask of Homelander, which is about to unleash everything around. But no, in the end he just fights hand-to-hand with Butcher and his son and grabs the noble ones from afar. Although in the previous series and in general in the series he has superpowers, super speed and other super powers.
3. To revive and put to sleep the Soldier, so that he does not affect the plot in any way, it is necessary to try. I found Booster, but I didn't kill him. He didn't die from the vaccine, so that he could just try to prevent them from finding the vaccine, and then just put it in the hands of Homelander. I don't even know how many people will want to watch it in a separate series after such a flimsy season.
4. There wasn't enough budget for Starlight's abilities at all, the entire film crew was throwing off a couple of sparks.
5. In general, you skip the whole season with a bored look, because the murders and mokrukha really don't make sense anymore, the dialogues are long and pretentious, jokes about dicks and ass pass by
In general, it's just sad.
But thanks to the creators for Putin's cameo — and then how RosSMI happily sucked on it. Even the experts were invited, who wisely said that "Omerica's narratives have finally changed." Yeah, the spirit of Anchorage is right) 💪💪💪
I also liked the banter on the audience: such epic posters fueled interest, they say, wait for the apocalypse. And the result is a fighting game in the Oval Office. Hey, we don't have Marvel here (and a smaller budget), your high expectations are your problems.
Yesterday's final episode was disappointing, of course, but thinking about why they showed it the way they did, there's a pleasant aftertaste. Most of all, Burgurt was aroused by the heroes' story armor (especially when they were shot from above in the corridors of the White House, but they were all intact) and the underestimation of the Homelander's powers.
And how the creators handled the spin-off is a masterpiece. Have you watched "Generation V" and waited for the Mistress of Menstruation to come and save everyone? No, well, that's your problem, we didn't force you to watch two seasons.
According to the dynamics, season 5 is many times better than the snotty 4th, and it would be a mistake to drag out the story any further - it would slip into self—repetition and reflection, as in "The Walkers". That's why they finished and finished. Thank you. And I will definitely watch the prequel.
PS. I feel sorry for the dog. My sharpey also died, we lived together for 10 years. I came home and he was lying cold on the floor, as if sleeping... the scene with Butcher's dog just tore my heart 💔
In general, I agree with many above: the series was really delayed initially by its blackness. The first three seasons really caused laughter in the crowd with disgust. I've never been a fan of movies and TV shows with lots of blood and guts, but here it was just wow!
There's a top finale)
Then Butch arranges a genocide of the supers with a virus. Huey tried to stop him. A fierce fight broke out between them. Butcher realizes that it's over and tricks himself into killing himself. He lies that he killed Huey's parents, and Huey ends up killing Billy in a fit of anger. He didn't shoot me, as in the TV series, but killed me with a splinter.
If you set out to write an answer to everyone, here under this series, at least teach the match 🤣🤣🤣
Homelander lost not to Bucher, but to the screenwriters. Kripke played with his political correctness and hatred of Trump, which he forgot what the series was at the beginning. And he was a parody of many things in our world, and as a result, the series itself became a parody for the worse.
I don't understand the scriptwriters and how it was possible to do such non-logical things like a child's penetration into the white house, underestimate the powers of a Homelander (the guy flew back and forth into space in 2 seconds and then couldn't fly away from Bucher and Kimiko), only two associates on the side of Homelander, seriously?)
It's so stupid it looked so intimate that you don't believe in this cheap production, how could you not give a normal budget for an adequate and large-scale finale of one of the most popular streaming projects?)
They easily defeated the strongest superman, and only because the people who wrote the plot of this bullshit wanted it that way.
And in general, the Vout company is the main villain, they gave birth to everything and the guys just left them alone))
In general, there are already a lot of AI with other endings on the Internet and they look MUCH cooler than what was shown to us, but take at least the ending in the comics and make it, or if you start coming up with your own, well, make sure that the Homelander wins everyone and it will be much cooler and will amaze everyone, but there is no better shit to remove.
Thanks to Kripke for your pathetic and filthy propaganda against Trump, you did it instead of making a TV series.
And it turned out that the ending was quite normal. I didn't expect an epic, because it's clear that the series has a budget of not 200 million blockbuster.
The final fight is intense, filmed spectacularly. The main lines are all closed. It ends logically. Once again, I am convinced that people like to create a haight for the sake of haight, if reality turns out not to be what they imagined for themselves.
And Butcher? Why kill him? Nonsense nonsense nonsense
Kevin got the most brilliant death, she just laughed out loud, the man suffered, but he killed the marine life and in the end they turned against him, which is very, very logical. Chase played this character very coolly, it was interesting to watch him after his role in Gossip Girl
Butcher also died quite logically, because he had previously said that the last person holding him in this world was his dogel, so no dogel = no Butcher, but they could have done it a little differently anyway, and he himself would soon have given up, as he lost his abilities and his cancer returned
MM has a cool ending yet, but otherwise there are more questions left than answers)))
I'm going to miss the series :)
It's time to get back to the comic :)
Kimiko chillies hard on the floor, and then catches a galyun. Yeah…
A series with a cast of superpowers was probably needed only to show the dudes from the superpowers...there was no other fucking point at all.
The Bombsite and Geisha episode was an advertisement for a new series about these characters, so it didn't make much sense either.
Two hours out of eight were given to the water, but they decided to fit the final battle in 10 minutes...just lol.
I'm already silent about the inconsistencies like those that in the first episode, Home's lasers cut Kimiko into two parts, but in the finale, the same lasers did not even burn her sweatshirt.🤷🏼♀
Maybe I'm so biased because of the bad last season, but to be honest, I can't remember what happened - wow, cool for all the seasons, maybe the first 1-2 seasons, but it was so long ago and it's already forgotten. Although, on the other hand, we managed to watch it to the end and not drop it, it's also a great merit. Mixed feelings are shorter.
Anthony Starr excellently played my beloved narcissus and incomparably conveyed his I am nobody/I am God moments. No matter how much I love Homelander, I am satisfied with his fate. The poor guy couldn't find happiness in any way. It was painful to watch.
I fell in love with Huey this season. Before that, I thought he was too soft. For some reason, this quality seemed sweet to me during this period of my life.
Clearly better than the final of the IP and CERTAINLY clearly better than the final of the SD, otherwise they are compared in "awfulness" with them. Well, the scene in the oval office is a bit boring, yes, bruising, this is a throw of faith for Kimiko from the Frenchman, but in general it seems to be normal, but I probably wanted more trash from Homelander, otherwise I kind of went crazy, but even more in words only
The White House is just a cardboard box.
I thought: "well, now there will be a multi-pass and it turns out that the homelander is not sitting in the white house, but somewhere else, he will have time to kill many who do not believe in him while the boys are looking for him." And in the end, 0 highlights.
Telepaths marked non-believers and no one killed anyone either.
What is another freezing of a soldier? Why is this character being turned around as they want, thawed, frozen.
What a cool season it was before the finals. What statements were made at the interview that the finale would be cool and unexpected, with a lot of deaths, these posters for the finale.
And the result...
I'm disappointed with the ending. The only thing that made me cry was the shot of Kimiko in France and the Terror...
On the one hand, the ending is understandable, but I expected something different.
The Homelander was smeared. Fast, dirty, without pathos. It seems cool, but where's the epic fight? They promised the apocalypse, but they got a showdown in the back room.
Kimiko — well done. She chopped them all off with one left hand.
The octopus, by the way, was more memorable than the ending. Gen V wasn't even invited to the wake.
5/10. Not shameful, but not proud either. To watch is not to fall asleep.
The moment with the soldier who gives B1 to homelander is generally darkness. This is what the beloved wanted. Are you sure you wanted to? This is despite the fact that the soldier knows how and from whom his beloved died. Here, of course, the ass is full.
Well, with Bucher, it's somehow true on the one hand, but on the other, he took his finger off the trigger, which means he still saw an opportunity in another life. A new position from the president would be suitable for him. He knows how to kill arrogant supers.
What about Kimiko? Does she sleep constantly or only after applying her new powers? Otherwise, if you do it all the time, you get a small reactor walking among people. Then how does she get along with anyone?
And finally, I expected more epic from the final battle. Okay, that Home was made weaker, but that the whole showdown will take place in the Oval Office? Well, that. Do you remember the heroes in the secret passage who fell into a trap? The operatives also fired on them. I wonder where they went when the heroes escaped from the room. They're probably like, okay, they ran away, then let's go home)
Well, somehow the satire did not please. I used to fuck everyone indiscriminately, but now I'm literally fucking individual well-recognized personalities. So Elon Musk was kicked, so much so in the forehead, so clumsily that even a joke didn't really come out. And so, of course, it's clear that the showrunner is sucking up to the Democrats, but most likely unintentionally ridiculing them, it seems, without realizing it.
It could have been better, but not the worst ending, mawkish, predictable, but still a point.
Predicted many deaths
The finale could be better
But for me, this ending is even worse than Game of Thrones and Stranger Things. Because at least it was epic there, and maybe I didn't agree with everything, but it made sense. Is everything so banal and immature here? And really predictable, which is even worse!
The only thing I kind of liked was the end of Butcher, and that's what it was all about. The handwriting of Hugh is very symbolic and logical.
But I will not forgive how tastelessly the Homelander was cut down in the end. A quick death immediately after the loss of abilities is too easy for a villain of this level. Our heroes really had to lock him up somewhere and force him to suffer from his mediocrity and helplessness.
I don't even want to think about Frenchy's funeral. 🤦🏻♀️ Why were there all these mentions of anuses, the crazy mare.
It also seems like a logical end to Deep, as well as the fact that his final battle took place with Annie (considering how it all started), but still something was missing. Probably confessions and awareness of my mistakes (I didn't need remorse, but understanding). But no, he just stayed dumb to the last.
In general, it was a failure. Why the creators of the series, which have gained huge popularity, do not want to understand; the finale is almost the most important part of any work. Because if you fuck him up, you're basically screwing up the whole story, spoiling the experience for the fans or those who thought they were them.
Further. I don't understand why I should fire Ashley. As a character, she was also constantly striving to develop the company and helped the boys. Why should she have such a fate? In general, drama is illogical in any way. It's as if the scriptwriters forgot their previous scripts and came up with random endings for the characters.
Rather, Kimiko should have gotten pregnant, and the Star and Huey should have just opened their own business, where the Star periodically flies away to help people.
Butcher should have just died of cancer in his bed after the dog, I think. For some reason, this cancer was originally invented for him. Or shoot yourself with a calm soul. Huey couldn't have actually shot him with such ease and kindness in his heart.
What is Ryan's rationale for staying with his mother's Milk? They didn't lead me to this either. "I chose myself," so I'll be hanging out with Butcher's friend...
And why was there a line with schoolchildren from the Vi generation? With the superpower to do something with blood, it was possible to stir up such a gigantic battle... and not these 2 minutes of the shameful easy murder of a Patriot
From the screen time of schoolchildren from the Vi Generation, I'm already burning up, if they weren't involved here at all, it wouldn't change anything, why would we piss in our ears that they are important and will have an impact on the Boys? This is such trolling from Kripki, like how you've been lying for so many years and people believed you were catching a facepalm from this and you believed my noodles?
Ryan did not go to Canada, most likely because behind the scenes MM offered to live in a normal family, and I do not understand where and how, I think MM has a great choice. A normal family that will give him a roof over his head and an education, but in Canada he would be a tramp.
There were no battles for the ending of the series as such, just running and chatting, everything was mixed up in a pile and they showed such a shitty ending to the series…
The French had almost the same ending.
It's not even exactly the final here, the whole me season is here, so we hoped that at least the final would be wow
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/x0k2gPEQ324?feature=share
But the fate of Homelander and Butcher was not such a surprise, although Butcher could have been merged more beautifully.
In general, it's not bad, I thought it would be worse.
I was interested in this series, after they epically killed the invisible one, I thought, well, now they'll go through everything, as a result, they started adding new supers to the series purely to kill them more meatily, otherwise the series' age rating would have dropped without them.
In general, my opinion is that no matter what the ending is, it looks good against the background of the last two seasons.
I'm already just silent about all sorts of stupid things and plot shields. But the death of a Patriot cannot be ignored. Many here have already spoken about the weak battle. I agree. Delivered carelessly. No girth, no scale. But then the last minutes are also crumpled. The Patriot's fear is not felt at all. It should have been done more coolly.
For example, a Patriot starts running away on his own two feet in a fierce panic. Butcher just follows him slowly. And the trick is that the Patriot almost instantly exhales and falls to the ground, choking on air. Butcher eventually catches up and begins to make his trademark jokes in the style of "Are your legs giving out? Was the blowhole knocked down? People have been training to run fast for years, think about it." Then, in a panic, the Patriot takes a pistol from the confused guards, who are completely disoriented. The patriot pulls the trigger, but nothing happens. He's at a loss, trying to figure it out like a baby. Butcher easily pulls out the gun with another trademark joke, "Ha, you don't know how this thing works, right? Have you ever used adult toys? Here's an expess guide for you. You take off the safety catch. He's here. And...."Butcher shoots a Patriot in the leg or arm. He begins to crawl away in complete panic. He starts whimpering and almost crying, calling for help. To call my mother. And then cry out to God. Butcher is like, "Wait a minute. So you are God. I didn't get it. Can't you save yourself?" As a result, the Patriot shits himself. Butcher "And here's the shit coming out of the shit. Yes, people squeeze the point tighter so that the bottom does not tear at crucial moments. You have to learn too." And then there would be a gun if a Patriot had to LIE to save his life. After all, this was the basis of the antagonist's psychology for all 5 seasons. And after that, Butcher ends the Patriot with the words "And that's a star, my friend!"
That would be powerfully staged. To make the Patriot's fear go right to his bones. How much have you done for the fuck....
1) Can Kumiko now remove superpowers at will? Or is rage needed anyway?
2) Why didn't Butcher ask Kumiko to humanize the Asterisk and herself? Then I would have started the virus.
3) Did not understand exactly where Butcher put the virus in the skyscraper? A remote control with a trigger - what exactly was it doing?
4) Butcher had to wait for the "end of the shift of the supers" to launch the virus from the remote control. Why didn't you launch it right away?
5) If the virus is somewhere in a skyscraper, will it be released sooner or later? Even in years, decades.
As a result, it's weak, very weak. It's a pity.
As always, the strongest stronghold died very easily ⛏️🧠
Goodbye Fuckin' would
The only question is for the characters of generation V, they appeared in a couple of scenes and it's time to go to Canada))))
By the way, I took a picture with Butcher at the fan expo in Denver today, it turned out to be a cool asshole)
I was pleased with his helplessness, fear and insignificance.
Butcher... There is no consensus. On the one hand, it's a pity for him - he's a very cool and colorful character. On the other hand, he's also been out of his mind for a long time.
Killing all the supers is understandable on the one hand. On the other hand, there are many good, positive characters among them. But there are also a lot of bad ones.
I'm glad Huey survived. Their dialogue with Butcher in the finale was good.
I can't say I'm thrilled with the finale, but I'm not spitting on it either. The emotions are like this: it's over and it's over
I'm waiting for Ackles and the Soldier in the backstory. He's damn good at this role!
The series is one of the favorites, but after watching the final season, there are no feelings.
No, it wasn't bad. By no means, it's just that I remember my feelings from the first season, and they're completely different from how I feel now. Perhaps because it was something fresh for me at the time, but it seemed to me that the amount of things that refreshed the series at the beginning had become many times more, and it was too much. Strictly, my opinion.
The guys did great, they played great, you believe them, and it's worth a lot)
Otherwise, thanks to the show for being cool sometimes and Anthony Starr for the great acting and memes.
I really want to forget season 5, it's very bad
When I saw/heard about the appallingly low ratings of the last two episodes of "Boys" - at that time I had just watched the fourth - I, like Brad Pitt's character from "Fury", said melancholically: "And I, damn, am not surprised at all." After the grand finale of the third season, where everyone fought with each other and created unobvious alliances right in the middle of the fight, the fourth felt like a step back. It's not just his modest last episode in a cheap basement, but also the general despondency of all the storylines (take, for example, the Frenchman, who abruptly became a condemned representative of an LGBT + organization banned in the Russian Federation). The only ones who were pleased there were the sudden Papa Winchester (Jeffrey Dean Morgan decided to show up, apparently, in all the deconstructions of the superhero genre) and a local parody of Bruce Wayne, a racist Techno Knight with a black butler. He is also a deviant who enjoys bdsm and other maso. The joke lying on the surface about the ever-changing Robin sidekicks began to play with new (yellow-red-brown) colors. Well, even against the background of the spin-off, it all looked secondary and not so cool.
Anyway, I'm starting to watch the fifth season. The first episode is suddenly good. I think it's going to go downhill. The second and third flights are normal. Yes, sometimes the episodes don't rush at full steam. The scriptwriters elaborate on each character (even the bulldog). This is obvious from the point of view of logic - you need to say goodbye to everyone. At the same time, it's funny again, tough again, relevant again, and not as much snot as last season. The Frenchman returned to heterolono (whatever it sounds like). The new characters seemed like they should be annoying by taking up the time of their favorite heroes and villains at the finish line, but in fact they complement the picture. That leaves the last 2 episodes. Well, if it gets hot, you have to cook the feces and throw them at the screen. And... nothing. An absolutely normal ending, in which everything that was supposed to happen happened (I didn't finish reading the comic, I don't know how much it coincides with the main points). The authors closed all the storylines, killed the maximum of those who could be killed, and about the way it was laid out from the very beginning. And all this hype around "The boys disappointed us, boo" is not worth a damn. Well, cry. Is this the perfect ending? As far as I'm concerned, he's decent. Knowing the pit the Boys fell into in season four, it's a miracle that everything ended the way it did. All of this was reminiscent of the "Game of Thrones" syndrome (including the Boucher line, which always led to such a conclusion - it's just a matter of nuances). No matter what you do, everyone won't like you and you won't outplay the fantasy wishlist in the minds of thousands of viewers.
"The Boys" suffered from the surrounding hype and high expectations, a typical problem of long-running series. This is clearly not the ending of "Lost" or "Dexter" in terms of disappointment. I've never praised "The Boys" to the point of "oh, this is the best show in the world," and I've always been very reserved about it. From this point of view, I liked the series in general and its ending in particular.
P.S. Anthony Starr is great inside and out. When I first started watching "Boys," I couldn't believe that this was the same actor who played in "Banshee." Jensen Ackles is amazing. I'm glad they gave him a separate series. The "Supernatural" reunion is very funny (as is the cameo: what's in this particular episode, and scattered throughout the series). Karl Urban is good. Chase Crawford is mega funny.
RATING (for the entire series): 4 guys out of 5
