Robbie And Clem Rewrite The Boys Season 5 On The Fly
TLDR: The Boys is over, and the verdict from My Mom's Basement is that most of the final season basically didn't need to happen. Robbie Fox and Clem spent their finale recap rewriting Season 5 in real time, and the wider Barstool reaction is landing in the same disappointed spot.
The most damning takeaway from Robbie's follow-up clip with Clem is the one that's hardest for the show to recover from in hindsight. If the finale renders a chunk of the season's plotting moot, then every subplot you spent weeks on becomes filler in retrospect. That's a worse problem than just a bad episode.
It was bizarre how much of #TheBoys Season 5 was rendered kinda useless by the finale @TheClemReport
Whether you side with the finale or with the rewrite-it-yourself crowd, the conversation around The Boys is going to look like this for a while. Long-running shows live and die on their endings, and right now the Basement is firmly in the camp that says this one didn't stick the landing.
