Since so many of you wanted to weigh in on The Boys

I don't know if I should actually link cybersmith

Transcription:

culture crave posts:

'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.

And the Esposito character basically said as much earlier in the season "you aren't taking down capital so I'll be back, or someone like me, and the fight will continue, and you'll always lose". The fact that MM didn't dome him right there was insane to me, but I guess they had to have him get tortured by homelander or soldier boy a bit for plot reasons or something.
