Back to Episodes'The Boys' Series Finale: Cynical Optimism
Description
Welp. Here we are. The show with the endlessly cynical take on superheroes has finally come to a close, and Ebube and Oseghale have thoughts. Let's make one thing clear, everyone got what they deserved. Well... Almost everyone. The guys try to make sense of the show's final chapter and address the internet's thoughts on what will go down as one of the most divisive series finales in pop culture.
As they figure out if the show truly stuck its landing, they get into the potential hubris of cinematic universes (8:23); Antony Starr's career-defining performance (18:26); Butcher's alternate future (32:02); the current media literacy crisis (42:06), and of course narrative responsibility and the GenV-shaped hole in the plot.
The end was entertaining, but undeniably diabolical.
