The Boys’ Latest Episode Breaks IMDb Record As Fans Worry About It Repeating Game of Thrones’ Finale

by

The Boys has become a huge hit on television, remarkably delivering both thrilling action and clever commentary on superheroes, society, and more. Now, after five seasons, the show is concluding with a final episode that will be released in movie theaters and on Amazon Prime Video.

As of today, the next-to-last episode of The Boys (“The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother’s Milk”) has been released on Prime Video, and fans haven’t been very impressed. Many are worried this suggests the show might end poorly, similar to how Game of Thrones concluded.

The Boys’ Penultimate Episode Sets A New (Low) Record

IMDb users rated The Boys Season 5 Episode 7 a 6.6 out of 10. While not a disastrous score on its own, it’s notably lower than previous episodes. In fact, every other episode of The Boys across five seasons has received a rating of 7.0 or higher, making this episode – titled “The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother’s Milk” – the lowest-rated one so far, according to IMDb ratings.

It’s impressive that this episode achieved such a low score, especially considering the show has been consistently good since 2019. However, the fact that it was the second-to-last episode of The Boys likely explains the reaction – fans were expecting something different. Usually, these episodes build a lot of suspense and are often more exciting than the finale itself. Instead, The Boys took a calmer, more thoughtful approach leading into the final episode, and there’s reportedly a good reason for that creative decision, though fans haven’t figured it out yet.

Rumor: The Boys Series Finale Is About to Go Full Superhero Movie

There’s been a lot of talk about how The Boys will end, and while it’s hard to say what’s accurate, many leaks suggest the finale will be huge and action-packed. Apparently, so much of the season’s budget and effort went into making the finale spectacular that earlier episodes had to be scaled back. This could explain why Season 5 has felt slower and less action-filled compared to previous seasons.

Even if just a fraction of the leaks are accurate, the finale of The Boys is shaping up to be a major event – one that many believe deserved a movie theater release (and tickets are already sold out in numerous locations). The episode is also expected to generate a lot of discussion and potentially some controversy, depending on whether the rumors prove true, but we’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out.

Even if the finale of The Boys is feature-length and excellent, will it be enough to make up for the weak points the fifth season had along the way?

Check back with us in a week once the Season 5 finale of The Boys is available on Amazon Prime Video. In the meantime, you can talk about the show with other fans on the ComicBook Forum!
