/tv/ discuss the final episode of The Boys

It wasnt that bad. Tbh the plea from homelander with the shit and dicksucking was fitting. It was homelanders idea what a person in power wants from someone beneath him.

It wasnt that good of an ending either, but at least it was kind of fitting. I have seen way worse endings from other shows.

Only thing that really angers me. Why not let the end fight wreck havoc on washington as a whole and fly kimiko in on the the second? That would have elaveted it way more. I know they wanted to have it on cam for the public but there would be ways to do this.

The sad answer is Amazon cut the budget and rushed the season. They dont want to upset the child raping President

[-]

The_Meemeli@reddit

They didn't wanna upset Trump, so they made the allegory even more obvious by having the whole final battle in the oval office?

[-]

music3k@reddit

They meaning Amazon. Not the writers numbnuts

[-]

airfryerfuntime@reddit

Amazon cut the budget ahead of season 3, then it stayed roughly even until it ended.

[-]

yeezusKeroro@reddit

Kripke basically said Amazon reduced the budget this season. But idk they could've budgeted it out so they had more money to throw around for the finale. Even the Walking Dead which is notorious for halving their budget after the first season and losing most of its viewers toward the end would go balls to the walls with the practical effects and wide angle shots in the premier and final episodes of the last few seasons.

Yeah the ending wasn't bad or unrealistic for the show, but it also wasn't SATISFYING. An explosive, balls to the wall supe on supe final battle that goes on for a few minutes and puts everything destructively in front of everyone's eyes- livestreamed by bystanders- culminating in Kimiko desperately hitting the shot at zero hour like you said, would have been far more satisfying. From there you can do the whole Homelander groveling thing- that fit and would have been satisfying if there were more dramatic 'foreplay' as the show would say.

This ending is kind of like being stopped from the explosive orgasm and then having it dribble out anyway. You still had sex, the show was good. You'd take the finale again if you had the opportunity, but it could have been much nicer- if that makes any sense.

imo his death in the comics was a lot more fun where he's not as snivelling or cowardly. I get the impulse to want him to be like that, but it's just super boring to me with how it was done here. Like it's the most predictable by the numbers ending to the character you could write.

Still better than the Deep's really weird death.

[-]

Filter55@reddit

I was expecting the deeps death to be a lot crazier somehow given how freaked out he was about going in the water. Like I thought we were about to see him get dragged through aquatic hell like those level transitions in Injustice.

Instead it was kind of abrupt.

[-]

Tablesafety@reddit

Oh that would have been dope

[-]

Ver_Nick@reddit

It seems most people haven't been around real narcissists for a while, sounds really fitting.

[-]

Senior_Independence4@reddit

Not really though. Homelander had a way better idea of what Butcher wanted in how he offered him Vought and a Becca replacement, it would've been a lot better if the suck dick eat shit lines didnt exist and he just regressed to denial after seeing the becca comment clearly upset Butcher

[-]

ProfNoob1000@reddit

He just lost his marbles in that situation. It was fitting to show what a fragile piece of nothing he was on the inside.

[-]

KennKennyKenKen@reddit

The idea was good the execution was bad

[-]

iAyushRaj@reddit

I liked the finale. Would have paid of much better if there weren't countless shit fillters in past two seasons

[-]

DevDaNerd0@reddit

1) Posts like this are why I'm glad I don't watch shows until they're properly finished, the complete lack of context here makes it so much funnier bc I genuinely can't tell if this is really in the show or just a meme.

2) Now that the show is finished, is it worth a watch? I've heard that it gets pretty sloppy towards the last few seasons but that was like a year ago that I heard that so idk

No you’re not. I’m literally looking at your through window and you’re not crying at all.

You're looking through his window. He's crying and you're looking through his window?

Jizz.

Brendraws@reddit

It's like the AI they were using to write the show finally had a stroke from all the quirky, 'shit poop dick fart haha' douchebag humor they've been feeding it from the start.

[-]

SilDaz@reddit

Kinda mad they didn't make the scene in The Sopranos were that character literally said she'd suck their cocks if they didn't kill her

She any good?

What am I asking you for, you probably taught her how

God I need to re-watch that show again

[-]

Krapio@reddit

Stupid how they ruined a good actor and made him spew stupid shit.

Could have kept him evil and said rotten things.

Rest was fine

[-]

THEPIGWHODIDIT@reddit

The whole run up to the ending, and then the ending, was bad

[-]

xvsanx@reddit

WE GOTTA FIND DA V1 OVER THE SPAN OF 2 SEASONS!

V1 has literally no impact on the end game and Homelander is pwned by a single lil blast

[-]

airfryerfuntime@reddit

V1 didn't exist until like the second or third episode of this season, but still fair.

[-]

xvsanx@reddit

ah misremembered, over 8 episodes* honestly season 4 was so unnecessary

[-]

InsectGlaiveBard@reddit

This was really the least bad part of the finale, but as always, 4chan has the mental capacity of an 8-year old Heath Ledger's Joker fan.

If they can't see how Homelander has always been a pathetic little worm and the only thing keeping him confident was being all-powerful, then I don't know what to tell you.

Season was still atrocious. But this is the one part that actually made sense.

[-]

airfryerfuntime@reddit

Homelander was also extremely arrogant and prideful. Even without his powers, I'd still imagine it'd take him a little more than a minute to grovel like that.

[-]

InsectGlaiveBard@reddit

He was only extremely arrogant and prideful BECAUSE of his powers. The entirety of his character is him making up for the inadequacy he feels, which is why he seeks out approval from Madelyn, Ryan, Clara, SB and even Stan Edgar.

He knows what Soldier Boy's powers can do, which is why he tried so desperately to fly away. Once he gets hit with it, he knows for a fact he's powerless. So him regressing into a pathetic, whiny baby begging for his life makes perfect sense. This whole season was him looking for a way to never die.

[-]

tiffanaih@reddit

I don't know why they had to make soldier boy so wishy washy instead of just using his already established power. "We gotta save him for the spin off" ok so why did we set up the whole season making it seem like V1 made them invincible, he still could've been the one to take the shot and lived...but we gave it to Kimiko to avenge Frenchie I guess? Just spinning their wheels all the way to the end.
