“The Boys” creator Eric Kripke recently fired back at fans who complained that there are too many “filler episodes” in the fifth and final season of Prime Video’s superhero satire.

“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,” Kripke said during an interview with TV Guide. “And I’m like, ‘What are you expecting? Are you expecting a huge battle scene every episode?’”
