'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 do think that letting the badguys win can sometimes be an interesting choice for tv and film. I dont think that's what this guy wants though.
I was okay with the ending. In fact its basically what I figured would end up happening as soon as they introduced the idea that soldier boy's blast could negate powers. The specifics were way off but close enough.
The things I hated were basically everything else about the season. The V1 didn't actually do anything. The college supes existed for 30 seconds and had virtually zero effect on the story. Frenchie is such an annoying character I hoped he died years ago. MM's actor is getting worse at his job somehow. Way too many things to list.
Laz Alonzo has been annoying the fuck out of me for a while. I swear he does every line with the same inflection and the same facial expression of one raised eyebrow and one squinting eye.
This part bugged me the most, they brought in my three favorite characters from Gen V and did literally nothing with them.
