The Boys 5x8 Finale Watchalong

Before I say anything else I like to preface that I did liked the finale! However I see other people's coplains and while i don't fully agree with them I can understand it. Alot of what i've seen is about the fact that there's alot of set up (or filler as some call it), and while that's not unusual for a season of tv, it's the fact that TV has changed in the last few years, in some ways for the better because there's more investment into qulity productions, but in some ways that we have to wait years for shorter seasons, where's before you had yearly 16 to 24 ep seasons. Some people simply can't keep interest when things take so much time and what you gave them it's subpar compared to what it was before. The Boys had a very nice streak in the first 3 seasons where every new season was better than the other imo, but then S4 felt more of a set up for S5, and so waiting 2 years to see a set up season to waiting another 2 years for the final season that had even more set up at the beginning for seasons that are already short to begin with it can be frustrating. The first 3 seasons had set up for like the first 2-3 eps and the rest of the season was all climax, where's this season while still rewarding in many ways, it wasn't as "blow away" like the first seasons, like the final fight was...I mean I liked it for the story elements, but The Boys never really had a good like fist-to-fist fights so I wasn't surprised there, but there could've been something more 'super' for the climactic finale fight, and it wasn't as good stylistic wise as other fights. And other stuff, like the Terror or SPN eps, I'm a SPN fan so I was glad to see THE boys back togheter, but with Terror I'm not a comics fan so I didn't had any feelings towards him so I really could've done without that part of the ep, yes I know they tried making him look like an important element for Butcher's story, but we could've told "the dog is important to Butch" in other ways than having a 10min skit, but whatever it wasn't that big of a deal for me, it's just I can tell why some people didn't liked those eps. Overall I liked the end, we hit all the story bulletpoints, every character got what they've deserved, and I'm glad we got here! my little thing is I just wish we could've got here on a different pace, 7 years for 40 eps is asking alot for people to keep interest. I just hate this polarising and dismissive world we live now, where if something's not 100% good it's shit, or if people are a bit negative about something they're just dismissed as "haters". Can we all try to understand better eachother instead of trowing jabs? The world of TV has changed, for good and bad, and some people just didn't get adjusted to it, but also sometimes they can be right to not accept subpar content from the shows they grew to love. Thank you RR for this journey! Off to the next one!

Donald Trump took Elon Musk into space and all he saw was epstein island. The finale felt more bitter than sweet.

Okay so Terror like randomly dies weird. In Punisher one shot dog being killed still bad then. Where like Asley go and Octopus Garden should be for the Deep. Also the original Terror from season two passed so this is different like dog used. The Gen V not being used reminds me of the Xmen and Ghost Rider could not be used for vs Thanos and Onslaught in the comics run there. Like where is now Soldier Boy not in tube bet Stan Edgar took like tube away. So far Invincible finale was better than Boys finale. Now crowbar was best use of crowbar since Joker killing Robin with crowbar turned out Robin still was alive there. Like now still waiting for The Digital Circus finale June 4 at movie there.
