'The Boys' S5 finale is at 6.7 on IMDb
The final two episodes are the lowest-rated in the show's history
Cybersmith responds:
The writers really destroyed their own art out of a pig-headed refusal to look beyond their own political biases.
Homelander should have killed the nonbelievers and ushered in Heaven on Earth.
THAT would have made the show an all-time great.
Now? It'll just be remembered as a disappointment.
I kind of love how fash will recognise that liberal storytelling is inherently unsatisfying, especially the endings, and they'll propose "solutions" that are literally the only way to make the story even more unsatisfying. There's a reason even these losers don't watch Nazi made films even though they had a massive film industry, because fash cannot tell satisfying stories because it relies on actual human connection.
"Strong guy is stronger than everyone else and uses that strength to beat the weak" isnt even an arc!
