La temporada 5 de The Boys, Rotten Tomatoes, rompe oficialmente el récord de audiencia de todos los tiempos después del final de la serie

by

Desafortunadamente, la temporada 5 de The Boys es un aterrizaje forzoso después del estreno de la serie.

Después de cinco temporadas, la serie de superhéroes ha finalizado en Prime Video desvelando qué les pasa a sus personajes principales. En el episodio final de The Boys, Kimiko despojó a Homelander de sus poderes, lo que le permitió a Billy Butcher derrotarlo y matarlo en la Casa Blanca. Sin embargo, Billy también murió al final cuando Hughie le impidió liberar un virus mortal. Si bien el programa apuntaba a una conclusión esperanzadora, los fanáticos han tenido reacciones muy encontradas sobre cómo terminó.

A pesar de las críticas positivas de los críticos (92%), la última temporada de The Boys no está resonando entre los espectadores. Con una puntuación de audiencia del 52% en Rotten Tomatoes, la temporada 5 ha recibido la calificación de audiencia más baja de cualquier temporada o spin-off del programa, superando el mínimo anterior del 54% de la cuarta temporada. Los ocho episodios están actualmente disponibles en Prime Video.

Okay, so Season 5 of The Boys is really splitting fans, and honestly, I get why. It had a lot to wrap up, and it felt like things were all over the place. A lot of us were disappointed with the action – it just didn’t hit the same way – and the whole ‘Virus’ plotline felt kind of pointless, especially after they didn’t really follow through with what they started in Gen V. Plus, some of our favorite characters didn’t get the endings they deserved, and it felt like a lot of time was spent setting up Vought Rising through Soldier Boy’s story instead of focusing on finishing what we started. It’s a tough season, for sure.

The final episode of season 5, “Blood and Bone,” also received mixed reactions from viewers. While some found the ending somewhat satisfying, it wasn’t perfect. Common criticisms included a fast pace that felt rushed and a lack of truly high stakes, despite what the trailers suggested.

Homelander’s death sparked a lot of debate. Some viewers felt it was a fitting end for such a flawed and ultimately powerless character, while others were let down after five seasons of buildup. Interestingly, the show changed how he died from the original comic books, where he was killed by his duplicate, Black Noir, who was revealed to be the real villain all along.

The finale of The Boys has been widely criticized, with many viewers calling it one of the most disappointing series endings ever – comparing it to the finales of Game of Thrones and Lost. The episode also received a low rating of 6.2 on IMDb, making it one of the show’s least popular.

I was reading an interview with Eric Kripke, the creator of The Boys, over on ScreenRant recently, and he admitted he’s really worried about how the show will end. He said it’s incredibly tough to stick the landing, especially because there are so many character arcs to wrap up. He actually brought up Game of Thrones and how all anyone remembers is the controversial finale – he basically said that keeps him up at night! He’s excited about finishing the story, but definitely feels the pressure and is understandably nervous about getting it right.

After the initial episodes were released, the show’s ratings began to decline. Before the final episode aired, Eric Kripke spoke with TV Guide to explain his choices for season 5, stating:

As a huge fan of well-developed characters, I always appreciated how much thought went into this show. It wasn’t about just churning out episodes; everyone involved genuinely believed they were building important layers for each character. With a large cast – around 14 or 15 people – the creators felt a real responsibility to give each of them a fully realized story and make them feel like real, complex human beings. They saw TV as being about those characters, and felt they owed it to them to do just that.

You know, sometimes a show isn’t about explosions and action, it’s about big changes within the characters. And I’ve noticed people dismissing episodes as ‘nothing happening’ just because there weren’t any shootouts or dramatic plot twists. But honestly, that’s missing the point! Huge things can happen internally for a character, even if it doesn’t involve someone getting shot. If you’re only looking for that kind of action, this just isn’t the show for you.

While The Boys didn’t end as strongly as some hoped, and Gen V was cancelled after two seasons, the story isn’t over. A prequel series, Vought Rising, is coming to Prime Video next year. Plus, the spinoff The Boys: Mexico, which has been on hold, is still being developed, according to creator Eric Kripke.

All five seasons of The Boys are streaming on Prime Video.
