    Episode 139 - The Boys Season 5 Finale: Masterpiece or Major Disappointment?

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to the DMR Cinema Vault! In this comprehensive, long-form spoiler review, we are breaking down the final season of the hit Amazon Prime video series, The Boys + The major breaking DMR news that we are one of the first shows globally on Apple Podcasts to be utilising their video format! First, we explore what The Boys is as a show, diving deep into its origins as a brilliant superhero satire TV show and analyzing how it completely flips traditional Marvel and DC superhero movie tropes on their head.  Next, we provide the ultimate character, power, and cast guide. We break down the strongest Supes ranked by powers and match them with the incredible real names and previous roles of the actors who play them—including Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Antony Starr as Homelander, Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell, Erin Moriarty as Starlight, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Tomer Capone as Frenchie, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko, Jessie T. Usher as A-Train, Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir, Chace Crawford as The Deep, Susan Heyward as Sister and the hilarious Daveed Diggs as O Father! We look at the ultimate climax of the final season, discussing the comic book accurate ending for Billy Butcher, what happens to Homelander in the finale, and the ultimate fate of The Boys and The Seven. We wrap up by examining the comic vs show differences and how these storylines conclude to set up the future franchise spinoffs, Gen V and the Vought Rising prequel series. Finally, Dewey’s final thoughts on why some of the big movie franchises need to convert into series to explore their many ideas we see in film and not rush them, which can ultimately discourage fans & may effect ticket sales.
