The Boys' fifth and final season has sparked massive backlash from fans, with many calling it the "worst finale of all time" and comparing its disappointing ending to Game of Thrones' notorious conclusion. Viewers expressed dismay and disbelief over the finale titled 'Blood and Bone', with many feeling the series focused too heavily on future spin-offs instead of concluding its central storyline.

Some fans labeled it a "limp dick finale" that chose the most cliché, cheapest, and unimaginative ending possible, while others criticized the pacing and writing decisions throughout the final season. Showrunner Eric Kripke recently took to X to dismiss the criticism, posting a defiant message alongside the weekly ratings: "SUCK IT BLUEY." The ratings showed The Boys ranked #1 for the week with 6.7 million viewers.

Beating Bluey at #4, Running Point at #2, and La Brea at #3. Kripke's post was a clear jab at the show's critics, using the children's show's strong ratings as proof that his series still dominated the viewership landscape. Despite the Spitzen ratings, Kripke's ego-driven response has won him a ton of backlash from fans.

'The Boys' Season Finale Is Not Bad But Has Itself to Blame for The Outrage

Who feel he's being dismissive of legitimate criticism about the finale's quality.

Viewers questioned whether Kripke's #1 rating actually meant anything, asking if people watched five minutes then switched channels because the show wasn't great. They also criticized the production values, noting the finale looked like it was filmed on just a few stages rather than the epic scale depicted in promotional posters.

Fans demanded Kripke post the Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb scores, calling him a fraud and reminding him they were promised scorched earth when it came to Homelander's storyline. They argued there's such a thing as being a sore winner, with many feeling he should show humility rather than gloating about ratings.

Critics pointed out how dare Kripke disrespect Bluey, one of the most endearing and wholesome characters in children's media, while others noted Trump is also a big ratings guy, but that doesn't make creative decisions right. The backlash centers on Kripke conflating viewership numbers with quality, ignoring that fans feel the finale betrayed seven years of buildup.
