Compared to the original The Boys comics, the show offers a more optimistic ending. While many characters die in the Season 5 finale, most of them are villains getting what they deserve. There are only two exceptions that feel particularly sad: the loss of an animal character and the death of someone who struggled with doing the right thing until the very end.
As a fan, I was definitely expecting a little something extra after the finale, since both The Boys and Gen V have used those post-credit scenes to tease what’s coming next. Gen V gave us the Supe-killing virus, and The Boys brought back Soldier Boy! But honestly, I was pleasantly surprised that the finale didn’t have one. Instead, we got a really cool series of behind-the-scenes photos celebrating all the hard work that went into making the show. It was a nice way to wrap things up and appreciate everyone involved.
Honestly, most games in this style feel pretty similar, and it’s rare to see one where the characters really think about what they’re doing, or who they’re working with. But with ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies, the team at ZA/UM – the folks who made Disco Elysium – are doing something different. They’re building on what they learned before to tell a story that’s more about looking inward, but it’s not all serious. They’re still keeping the weird, interesting world, crazy politics, and strange situations that made their last game so great.
You know, it’s often the little details that make a big difference. And honestly, I’m really excited about this – the new remake is getting a simple one-button press to hide or show the whole UI. It sounds super convenient, and I can’t wait to try it out!
Standalone Second Entry in a Remake Trilogy
After a positive response at its first showing earlier this year, MGM Studios has released the final trailer for the new Masters of the Universe movie. While some short clips and scenes have already been shared online, this trailer includes even more new footage. Interestingly, the trailer doesn’t focus on the good reviews it’s received; instead, it emphasizes the nostalgic appeal of the franchise, and features several of the beloved supporting characters.
Each of the four figures costs $14.99, which makes this a relatively affordable release from Funko’s anime line.
In Thick as Thieves, you play as a rookie thief in the 1900s city of Kilcairn, aiming to become a master criminal. You can tackle heists alone or team up with friends, and customize your approach with six different gear options. The game features two maps and 16 missions, but its standout feature is the random conditions that change each playthrough, forcing you to adapt your strategies and keep things fresh.
Episode 7 of The Boys Season 5 received the lowest IMDb rating so far—just 6.5 out of 10—which suggested the show might not have a satisfying conclusion. The series finale was initially released in a limited number of U.S. theaters before becoming available on Prime Video worldwide. Once negative reactions start, they can be hard to overcome, making it a tricky situation for the show. However, I think the finale generally succeeds in delivering a good ending.
Quantic Dream has decided to stop developing Spellcasters Chronicles, their free-to-play online team battle game, just under three months after it became available in early access on Steam.
