Eric Kripke Responds To ‘The Boys’ Fan Complaints About “Filler Episodes”: “You’re Just Watching The Wrong Show”

As The Boys heads into its final two episodes, Eric Kripke is stressing the importance of concluding every character’s story.

The creator of the Prime Video series recently responded to social media complaints about “filler episodes” in the fifth and final season of the comic book adaptation, which releases its penultimate episode next Wednesday on the streaming platform before the series finale premieres May 19 at 9:30pm in 4DX theaters and its Prime debut the next day.

“None of the things that happen in the last few episodes will matter if you don’t flesh out the characters. I’m getting a lot of online dissatisfaction, to put it politely,” he told TV Guide. “And I’m like, ‘What are you expecting? Are you expecting a huge battle scene every episode?'”
