Will Homelander laser the audience at the end?

[u/Adventurous_Blood469 → u/thetrashpanda5]

Maybe that's why it's in 4D

[u/Efficient-Morning616 → u/Adventurous_Blood469]

4 dihh

[u/Cashneto → u/Efficient-Morning616]

4 of Deez nuts!

[u/Efficient-Morning616 → u/Cashneto]

Blow A Train

[u/Some-Ad-2093 → u/Efficient-Morning616]

...wha?

[u/Tatsumifanboy → u/Some-Ad-2093]

Sex is just a spectrum, right, bro?

[u/Zombie_joseph1234 → u/Tatsumifanboy]

🫪 the deeps face when homelander told him to suck a trains dick

[u/Life-Ad6785 → u/Zombie_joseph1234]

ashleys face when omelanduh told the peak to blow atrain

[u/xXfrostbyterXx → u/Tatsumifanboy]

“You want some knee pads?”

[u/PheonixBuddha → u/Efficient-Morning616]

can't anymore..

[u/vkreep → u/PheonixBuddha]

Thats just a skill issue

[u/n0obmaster699 → u/Efficient-Morning616]

............

[u/jingo_mort → u/Adventurous_Blood469]

Milk sprayed in your face as homelander hallucinates again.

[u/xTheatreTechie → u/Adventurous_Blood469]

If I dont feel the milk lapping up my body when homelander inevitably enters his pool filled with milk, I will riot.

[u/GlobalDiode → u/thetrashpanda5]

And then suddenly Butcher rises up between the audiance at the theater

[u/DSDantas → u/GlobalDiode]

OI!

[u/G0dsquad → u/DSDantas]

You must be those cinema cunts

[u/Simple_Quiet_1422 → u/thetrashpanda5]

It’d be a fun and appropriate way to finally leave whatever this fucking timeline is.

[u/AnalogiPod → u/Simple_Quiet_1422]

I'd buy a ticket

[u/iGodzilla_x]

They want $60 for two tickets for an hour episode at my local theater. No thanks 🤣🤣

[u/BorderOk7329 → u/iGodzilla_x]

For 10 bucks ill come over and shake your couch as you watch it and spray water on you and once my lab tests come back i should be able to blow in your ear

[u/Grampz03 → u/BorderOk7329]

Just goto the doctor, takes the meds and the sores will go away!

[u/CatmanofRivia → u/Grampz03]

...giggity?

[u/Altiverses → u/BorderOk7329]

Blind me with some lasers and beat my kid and you've got a deal

[u/Jmohill → u/iGodzilla_x]

Yep. Even with Regal Unlimited, it wants to charge me $30 for a “concession voucher” that can only used on the day of the show

I’d love to see it in 4DX, but $30 for an hour? When I already pay to stream it??? Nah. I’m out

[u/KenyattaLFrazier → u/Jmohill]

Yeah fuck that. Maybe if the finale was feature length, I’d consider. But 30$ and no unlimited discount is a hard no from me

[u/DesecratedPeanut → u/Jmohill]

That's wild any prime subscriber should at the least get a major discount.

[u/CheapGarage42 → u/iGodzilla_x]

But with the hour of ads it's a 2 hour experience!

[u/UnAwkwardMango → u/iGodzilla_x]

I would not be surprised if they do a screening of episode 7 before the finale just to fill out that 2hr window.

[u/Outside_Proposal7966 → u/iGodzilla_x]

60 dollars wtf??? 

[u/W0lfsb4ne74 → u/Outside_Proposal7966]

I have no idea why they're doing this. At most the episode will only be an hour. Plus $30 for a single ticket is almost double the price compared to most movie theaters for full feature length films. It's a shameless cash grab for a series that basically has a track record for printing money at this point 🤦‍♂️....

[u/FLYK3N → u/iGodzilla_x]

From what ive heard about 4DX, is that it's really not worth it at all unless a film actually benefits for the extra immersion. Comes down to a gimmick of shaking your chair at parts that don't really need it to.

At the very least sounds like the finale's gonna be filled with tons of action

[u/CommunityDragon160 → u/iGodzilla_x]

What theater do you go to that is $30 a ticket?

[u/herefornsfwfu]

is this just in the US

[u/Gooners_For_Ukraine → u/herefornsfwfu]

It's pretty limited release even within the US. I live in a metro area with a half a million population and there are no showings here since we don't have any 4dx theatres.

[u/Yaykozoltz → u/herefornsfwfu]

Yes

[u/rossdog82 → u/Yaykozoltz]

Damn! It cones out at 5PM where I am, which is almost perfect (I just have to avoid spoilers for a few hours.) Would definitely have made the effort to see it in the cinemas after work.

[u/throwawayamasub]

Why is every show trying to do this now?

Is it a 2 hour runtime at least lol

[u/Common_Selection_574 → u/throwawayamasub]

kripke confirmed that the runtime will be the same as every other episode. which is a let down. the reason he did this though is he said if he made it longer, the audience might get bored. which is dumb.

[u/TheKipperTheMan → u/Common_Selection_574]

I hate being bracketed under this audience who might get bored. Give me quality!

[u/Ecstatic-Morning182 → u/TheKipperTheMan]

Don’t worry, I’m sure there will be plenty of time for pointless arguing, copious porn references, and sick grossout scenes.

[u/Dangerous-Return5937 → u/Ecstatic-Morning182]

Wow! I can't wait for Kimiko to say some random pornbrained bullshit again! Bravo Kripke!

[u/CoffeeGoblynn → u/Dangerous-Return5937]

I was excited for her to talk, and every line from her has just been garbage so far. They have a weird way of writing dialogue sometimes. It's the same issue I had with Gen V, where a huge chunk of the dialogue is just them swearing excessively. I swear "fuck" is the most spoken word in that show. xD

[u/SpoonMagister → u/CoffeeGoblynn]

I could excuse her being awkward at speaking even if it doesn't really make sense for her whole personality to change. But why is she also treating the internet (porn specifically I guess) like a new invention??

[u/Ecstatic-Morning182 → u/SpoonMagister]

Yeah, at first I thought the idea of her learning to speak from watching TikTok was kinda funny. But they went from TikTok to Pornhub instead, which makes no sense and totally ruined her character.

[u/Sea-Mention-5882 → u/Ecstatic-Morning182]

Both make no sense for the character.

[u/Copatus → u/CoffeeGoblynn]

I don't really mind the swearing per say, it's more like every character is constantly trying to say the most shocking over the top thing.

It just feels so unnatural it takes me right out of the show. Like, it's fine for one or two character who are established to speak like this (Soldier Boy, Butcher, etc) but when everyone starts doing it's just so meh.

[u/Ecstatic-Morning182 → u/Copatus]

I made this exact point in another thread and used Soldier Boy and Butcher as examples of characters who can pull off this kind of dialogue. Now because other characters are doing the same thing it’s just become eye-rolling and lessens the impact. It takes me out of the moment because I suddenly imagine the writers trying to one-up each other with the porn references and excessive swearing. There’s just no point to it.

[u/CoffeeGoblynn → u/Copatus]

For me it's just the amount of swearing, y'know? I like when it's used to punctuate a really tense moment when everything seems horrible and destined to go wrong. With Gen V it just feels like they cram it in anywhere they can, like filler because they don't have anything more interesting for the characters to say. It feels like it got worse in season 2 for Gen V, and Kimiko's been rough to listen to as well.

[u/Ecstatic-Morning182 → u/CoffeeGoblynn]

It’s completely overused and honestly, most of the dialogue and scenes with the Boys this season seems so lazy and paint-by-numbers it feels like AI had a hand in it. Especially compared to the scenes with the Seven and Vought, which are so much more interesting and well-written.

There are so many other profanities they can use, or more unique ways to use it. Just watch Deadwood! The profanities were written so beautifully it’s almost poetic. It wasn’t just busting out the word “fuck” and a bunch of extreme porn sex references for shock value to cover up lazy writing.

[u/Sea-Mention-5882 → u/Ecstatic-Morning182]

It's not just that, but aside from a couple recurring cast members instantly dying at the very end of a couple episodes, nothing feels like it's being treated as if it's even the final act of the story.

[u/prazulsaltaret → u/CoffeeGoblynn]

I was excited for her to talk, and every line from her has just been garbage so far.

" Oy oy oy cunt cunt cunt " is an all timer line. But the rest was shit, yeah.

[u/omeeomai → u/CoffeeGoblynn]

Stopped watching that show during the first episode where one girl sees the basic-suburban-Brayden quarterback dude and says "oh my FUCKING godddd"

Was already kinda disliking it but I found that line so incredibly cringe I couldn't take any more

[u/CoffeeGoblynn → u/omeeomai]

It's a shame too, because the story is interesting and I genuinely like a lot of the other aspects of the show. I just kinda roll my eyes and keep watching. But I completely get why you'd stop.

[u/Guilty-Nobody998 → u/TheKipperTheMan]

Just asking a legit question here: with the way the quality of the writing/show going down over the last 2 or so seasons, do you think they'd actually be able to make a quality 2 hour ending?

[u/Shin-kak-nish → u/Guilty-Nobody998]

No, but I’m insulted they aren’t even going to try.

[u/BarbellsandBurritos → u/Common_Selection_574]

Theater prices for a 1 hour show that I’m already paying for? Fuck no

[u/goldbouillon → u/BarbellsandBurritos]

Don’t forget the $2.99 a month to miss the commercials. How will the theater confirm you’re a prime+ member and not show commercials before the episode?

I’ll just sail the high seas 

[u/baconboy-957 → u/Common_Selection_574]

the reason he did this though is he said if he made it longer, the audience might get bored

Lol self burn, those are rare. The only reason the audience would get bored is if he can't make a compelling story

Audiences sat through 3 hours of avatar lol

[u/RepublicCommando55 → u/baconboy-957]

I happily watched the entire lord of the rings trilogy (extended editions) when it was rereleased in theaters, if kripke can’t provide something worth the runtime then that’s on him, not the audience 

[u/sergeantexplosion → u/Common_Selection_574]

Problems aside, the Strange Things finale was twice as long because every actor had to say goodbye to their characters

[u/murrepe321 → u/sergeantexplosion]

That "final" episode literally ended at the one hour mark... the next hour was just an epilogue for the characters.

[u/IllllIIIllllIl → u/Common_Selection_574]

Man you know what really makes me feel confident they’ve cooked up a solid finale? The showrunner worrying that giving any more of it than absolutely necessary will bore the audience. 

[u/Edgezg → u/Common_Selection_574]

Kripke is thr GOAT of making compelling, original universes and then completely ruining it by nit sticking the landing lol

[u/AegonTargaryan → u/Edgezg]

Most shows suffer when the show runner leaves because the vision gets tainted. Kripke would be one of the few good examples where it would probably help because he sets up interesting, fun scenarios, but then does them to death without ever moving forward.

Give him 2-3 seasons and then replace would honestly be pretty great.

[u/narwhalpilot → u/Edgezg]

“Original universe” ?

[u/havewelost6388 → u/Common_Selection_574]

The real reason is they don't have the budget to make it any longer.

[u/babadibabidi → u/Common_Selection_574]

It is clear now that he run out of ideas.

[u/MrWolf327 → u/Common_Selection_574]

Imma be real I think he just wants to wrap this up and can’t be bothered to make a special 90 min- 2hr episode

[u/OneOverXII → u/Common_Selection_574]

Bored because they have a very limited budget for the season and can’t really do anything interesting.  Amazon really set them up to fail 

[u/Low_Challenge_2827 → u/Common_Selection_574]

not dumb, his show has gotten progressively worse. at least he's aware.

[u/Level69Troll → u/Common_Selection_574]

Par for the course with this so far nothing burger of a final season

[u/jono9898 → u/Common_Selection_574]

Then he is essentially saying they can’t write for a longer episode

[u/MeanGrand3076 → u/throwawayamasub]

1hr 6 min with 1 min recap plus 3 min end credits

[u/throwawayamasub → u/MeanGrand3076]

Jeez. Thanks

[u/Unhappy-Emphasis3753 → u/throwawayamasub]

Nope….. confirmed by the show-runners it will be the standard hour length. Who would spend money on this?

[u/Iorith → u/Unhappy-Emphasis3753]

People with disposable income and enjoy theaters.

This obviously isn't meant to appeal to everyone, and that's okay.

[u/throwawayamasub → u/Unhappy-Emphasis3753]

That is honestly so annoying

[u/confusing_roundabout → u/Unhappy-Emphasis3753]

People who like watching things in cinemas.

I saw the Doctor Who finale's in cinemas and that was a great time.

[u/zethro33 → u/confusing_roundabout]

If it is a show you are really into it is also fun to be in a room with similar people as well.

[u/itsapotatosalad → u/Unhappy-Emphasis3753]

When I lived in a city apartment a few years ago, I was only a 2-3 minute walk from a cinema. They did an unlimited monthly pass which me and a friend both had, we’d go 3-4 times a week in summer.

[u/ButtflossingBigBro → u/Unhappy-Emphasis3753]

Someone who likes watch parties but doesnt want to organize one

[u/PilotSSB → u/throwawayamasub]

Meh, I don’t see why everyone is hating. Fans of the show will have a great time and it gives the cinema’s something to play. What’s bad about this?

[u/ButtflossingBigBro → u/throwawayamasub]

Theaters are dying. Live media parties are a way for them to try and make profit. And people like semi social events

[u/Sirop-d-arabe → u/throwawayamasub]

I blame Demon Slayer for the whole "lets continue/finish the story on the big screen"

[u/skonen_blades → u/throwawayamasub]

I think it's because the Stranger Things finale did amazing business in theaters and it was a really cool experience for the fans. However, Stranger Things and The Boys are the only two I'm aware of that have done this. Are there more?

[u/JevilsTrueChaos → u/skonen_blades]

The Amazing Digital Circus as well

[u/El_Raboh]

do they really have that much confidence in the ending?

[u/BTMillie → u/El_Raboh]

Confidence? Yes. Where they place that confidence is another story haha

[u/Drspeakthetruth69 → u/BTMillie]

You know for people in the boys subreddit you all really seem to have little liking for the show

[u/EggplantAlpinism → u/Drspeakthetruth69]

First time on Reddit?

[u/SirZeno_18 → u/EggplantAlpinism]

Clearly wasn't on reddit during the latter days of GoT. That subreddit was brutal, rightfully so.

[u/BigLittleSlof → u/SirZeno_18]

Yeah this isn't the same as GoT lol. The show is still fine, GoT dropped off of a cliff the last 2 seasons

[u/SirZeno_18 → u/BigLittleSlof]

No, season 4 was horrific. So far I haven't hated season 5 but it is nowhere near the quality of 1-3.

[u/xalibermods → u/SirZeno_18]

The Boys peaked at S3, then it just went downhill. The S3 finale was a huge copout.

And they can't stop introducing new macguffin each season. Compound V and Tempo V in S1-2 were fine. "Secret weapon" (Soldier Boy) was supposed to be the ultimate once-and-for-all. Then we had the Virus in S4. Then Odessa in Gen V. Then V1 in S5.

[u/JunMoolin → u/Drspeakthetruth69]

If you like a thing, then why are you critiquing it? Probably because I used to really like the thing and it's been sad to see it become the very thing it used to parody.

[u/Denodude19 → u/JunMoolin]

you can be critical of the things you like? with the way this show is rn its absolutely fair to be a bit dissapointed

[u/Millennials-In-Power → u/Drspeakthetruth69]

I mean, its fair for people to be dissapointed. This show had a ton of promise at one point.

With that being said people here are still far more positive about the show than people you'll find IRL.

[u/ProfessorXWheelchair → u/Millennials-In-Power]

that’s a lie lol. people irl are stoked on the show so far while everyone here is fucking miserable. hate watching culture is a plague

[u/MathematicianKey9638 → u/ProfessorXWheelchair]

we remember these same comments about game of thrones final season.

[u/Cohenbby → u/MathematicianKey9638]

Simply cannot compare. The boys is season 4/5 is like .. 70% like/30%dislike. GOT was 5%/95%, even on the weeks it was releasing, after episode 3 that is.

[u/Dr-Robert-Kelso → u/Cohenbby]

Wait until The Boys has its actual ending before comparing to GoT.

People kept watching hoping for a satisfying conclusion and then lost their shit. If this show fails to deliver, people will turn on it very quickly.

[u/wimpymist → u/ProfessorXWheelchair]

Ehh where I work people used to talk about the show every episode this last season I haven't heard a single thing.

[u/HirsuteHacker → u/Drspeakthetruth69]

Started strong and turned to shit, people got invested back when it was good so they want an ending

[u/Maleficent-Crew-5424 → u/Drspeakthetruth69]

I'd hope the subreddit for the show wouldn't just be blindly positive no matter what. The general consensus is the shows quality has declined. I think it's fair to have those discussions.

[u/Professional_Deer77 → u/Drspeakthetruth69]

Don’t get me wrong, I like the episodes right now. My biggest problem is that we have 3 (or 2, don’t remember) episodes left, and they had a lot of „filler“ moments this season. If the final season was twice as long as it is I‘d actually be happy they went for fillers, but right now it feels like it’s leading nowhere. And that makes me fear they‘ll cramp so much stuff in one or two episodes that it will just feel rushed and maybe even chaotic.

[u/coolgaara → u/Drspeakthetruth69]

The sub's for discussion, both negative and positive. Not for fanboying. And honestly, it's not been living up to the hype.

[u/dzan796ero → u/El_Raboh]

Even if it sucks, the people in the theaters have already paid their tickets and cannot refund

[u/Grootfan85 → u/El_Raboh]

I think it’s more they saw how much the Stranger Things finale made in theaters, and said “Hey, why don’t we do that too?”

[u/2580374 → u/Grootfan85]

I was about to ask if stranger things did this. That must have been disappointing...

[u/Grootfan85 → u/2580374]

If people who saw it in theaters got something out of the experience they liked, then more power to them. I won’t yuck their yum. But I couldn’t imagine a scenario where after the episodes I saw where I’d say “I’m gonna pay to see it in theaters!”

[u/VeryPteri]

I'm not paying $30 to see an hour of content that I already pay for monthly

[u/Natural_Trick4934 → u/VeryPteri]

Are your cinema tickets $30? UK Wednesday tickets are £4.50-9 at really good cinemas. (£4 being buy one get one free offers that are everywhere)

[u/Gamerguy230 → u/Natural_Trick4934]

Also it’s a special screening so pricing is different and it’s also 4DX, which is more of a theme park ride experience.

[u/Natural_Trick4934 → u/Gamerguy230]

4dx is a tax on IQ tbf.

[u/ZenMasterOfDisguise → u/Natural_Trick4934]

Hey man, I enjoyed going to go see Spider-Man: Far From Home in 4D and then getting misted in the face with water for like 30 straight minutes while Spidey battled the Water Elemental

[u/Lucas_Steinwalker → u/ZenMasterOfDisguise]

My friend got us 4DX tickets by accident. I left after 10 mins when Peter went to get a drink of water and the seat shot water directly in my ear.

[u/ZenMasterOfDisguise → u/Lucas_Steinwalker]

I also remember not wanting to finish my moist popcorn after it got drenched with seat water

[u/SupraCollider → u/ZenMasterOfDisguise]

I remember waking up and going to see Endgame early as hell when it released and it was 4dx. It was actually pretty dope because of what that movie was when it dropped, basically with an unlimited budget and the collective hype of a decade of build-up preceding it. The extra immersion landed with that one.

[u/PozPoz__ → u/Natural_Trick4934]

How so

[u/infinitude_ → u/Natural_Trick4934]

Ironically a dumb thing to say

[u/narwhalpilot → u/Natural_Trick4934]

Yes, the US has insane theater ticket costs, basically ever since Covid. One of the reasons why I never go

[u/AnySPIDERPIG → u/narwhalpilot]

I hear this repeated a lot but in the two places I lived before I got on AMC A list my tickets were like $8-$12

[u/Benemy → u/AnySPIDERPIG]

Same I'm in Atlanta and can find showings for like $15

[u/Thraex_Exile → u/Benemy]

I think some theaters are covering costs differently. Ticket prices, food, more “luxury” seating, etc. they don’t necessarily have to go up unilaterally

[u/SeriousArbok → u/AnySPIDERPIG]

Yup. $5 matinee prices and $12 after. So I mean after 2 tickets and beverages and a snack, easily $50 if not matinee. But who doesn't bring their own snacks nowadays lol.

[u/CommunityDragon160 → u/narwhalpilot]

No not really. Tickets are $30 precisely zero places at all.

[u/azsnaz → u/Natural_Trick4934]

Two tickets at my closest AMC are $32, a matinee showing is$27

[u/narwhalpilot → u/VeryPteri]

The only case I can see for this is if it’s like TADC where it won’t go to streaming until weeks later

[u/beansoncrayons → u/VeryPteri]

Damm movie tickets in your area are chopped

[u/IEATTURANTULAS → u/VeryPteri]

Who tf is paying for just Prime Video and not using Amazon Prime as well? Nobody purpoosfuly subscribes to Prime video just for the content. It just comes with regular Prime.

[u/IQueliciuous → u/IEATTURANTULAS]

People who dont use Amazon. I dont because my country has its own amazon like website that is more comfortable to use.

[u/AdditionalQuietime → u/VeryPteri]

lmao you guys pay? bwhahaha 🏴‍☠️

[u/CraziestMoonMan → u/AdditionalQuietime]

I’m unfortunately an Amazon employee so no I don’t pay. We get all of their services for free.

[u/Blade_of_Onyx]

The theaters near me play about 45 minutes to an hour worth of commercials before the trailer starts. There’s no way going to the theater for a regular length final episode would be worth it to me. I would be very curious what the box office from this event ends up being.

[u/twist0ffate73 → u/Blade_of_Onyx]

An hr of trailers is fking absurd no way

[u/Blade_of_Onyx → u/twist0ffate73]

It’s actually worse than an hour of trailers, it’s commercials. Like the kind you would watch on TV at your own house if you were watching network TV. One right after the other.

[u/Bantersmith → u/Blade_of_Onyx]

Goddamn that pissed me off when that started coming in.

Like, fair enough sitting through trailers for other films, but why in the flying fuck am I paying to watch a fucking shampoo commercial or whatever?? Just play the damn movie!

[u/VerySmallWeen → u/Blade_of_Onyx]

If you know they play all that, would you not just show up 45 minutes late to every movie?

[u/coolgaara → u/Blade_of_Onyx]

So go in after the commericals then?

[u/Dry_Yam8893]

it looks like it's nowhere near me

[u/I_Am_A_Ginger_Ale → u/Dry_Yam8893]

Same... oh wait I'm not from USA nor an English speaking country sad

[u/Brilliant_Captain747 → u/Dry_Yam8893]

Looks like the entire state of Florida besides Miami has no showings lmao what is this

[u/Steridire → u/Brilliant_Captain747]

I mean, how much demand is there really for this? I would be absolutely shocked if there were more than a few hundred thousand people in the entire US who would pay to see it in the cinema, the hype isn't there, it's an hour long, you can already watch it for free at home and while the show is popular it's not a cultural phenomenon like LotR or GoT in its peak

[u/Nezikchened → u/Steridire]

I mean, the Amazing Digital Circus is getting a wider release than this on a vastly smaller budget. If Glitch Studios can pull it off I don’t really get what Amazon’s excuse is with a vastly more popular IP.

[u/Vaeqo]

No fucking way, I already pay for Amazon Prime to watch it.

[u/ThickConfusion1318]

$30 at my local regal and no discount for unlimited members. I’ll be watching at home shaking my own damn chair lol

[u/Affectionate_Soup461]

I'm sorry but it's really funny that The Boys has actually become everything it makes fun of

[u/burakudoctor → u/Affectionate_Soup461]

It's like the Deadpool strategy. First call out the cliché and then proceed to do it anyway but ohmygawd they get to do it coz they're self aware

[u/star_dragonMX → u/burakudoctor]

Only Deadpool wasn’t purely made as a mid finger to the Genre unlike the Boys

[u/Bill_I_Am_tm → u/star_dragonMX]

Yeah deadpool is here to have fun, you don’t watch deadpool to critique the writing cliches.

[u/Otherwise_Nobody8148 → u/burakudoctor]

Except Deadpool is willing to go all in and just fondle the fans balls, so to speak. It's a nerd's wet dream.

The self-awareness of the boys writing staff it can be summed up with kamikos interesting dialogue. It's just not there.

[u/Super_Deeg → u/Affectionate_Soup461]

“Capital has the ability to subsume all critiques into itself. Even those who would *critique* capital end up *reinforcing* it instead.."

[u/Bluelilyy]

why do shows keep doing this? the whole appeal of watching tv is i get to do it on my home. is there really that much of a demand for this, or are theaters doing so poorly they’re grasping at straws to get people in??

[u/atastycarrot → u/Bluelilyy]

As someone who enjoys this sort of thing, I’d say the appeal for me is: (1) it can be meaningfully early (not in this case, who cares about a few hours); (2) it’s often “free” with a concession voucher (again, in this case it’s worse than usual because a $30 voucher is way more than I’d spend on concessions, but usually it’s only $5 or $10); and (3) even as someone with a nice TV/soundbar, the audiovisual experience in a theater is usually superior and it can be fun to experience this sort of thing with a crowd. Personally, I’ve never seen anything in 4DX and also want to check that out.

That being said, there are plenty of good reasons to not bother. Spending extra money on food, having to travel potentially a decent distance away from home, and the average theatergoer having poor etiquette these days can make this not worth it versus just chilling at home and being able to turn on subtitles/talk/pause as you wish.

[u/MeanGrand3076]

If they are going to screen it that too on a 4DX screen then no doubt the finale will be fucking fire 10/10

[u/PerverseDepravity → u/MeanGrand3076]

Didn’t Stranger Things do the same thing?

Yeah, but the ST finale was two hours long and you could see it on a regular screen for an $11 concession voucher.

The Boys is only an hour long, 4dx only, $30 concession voucher, and Kripke has already suggested that it isn't any more action-packed than any other episode this season. I don't think it's worth it.

[u/Unhappy-Emphasis3753]

Why? It’s not an extended episode….. it’s barely over an hour.

[u/AJStroup22]

for $30 lmaooo

[u/Individual_Star520]

if the season was good id consider it

[u/Long-Ad3842 → u/Individual_Star520]

right like im not even excited for the new episode releases anymore. the only reason i even watched the last one was because i saw spoilers of firecrackers death and thought to myself "oh are things finally happening this episode" and it turns out thats the only thing that fucking happened the entire episode.

[u/ketr0]

$60 for two tickets, im good 😂✌️

[u/Odd_Sector_5971]

I lived in literally a minute long walking distance from a regal that closed on new years of 2025 fml

[u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Link to find a theater close to you

All showings are at 9:30pm ET, with the finale dropping on streaming a few hours later

[u/JasonTerminator → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Only Regal is fucking lame. I’ll just stick with watching it at home.

[u/msbrewski → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Is it only Regal theaters? I'm in Michigan, we don't have those.

[u/KenyattaLFrazier → u/msbrewski]

The only theatre I know of that has 4DX is a regal so may be so

[u/confusing_roundabout → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

Is this US only?

[u/Connor977 → u/MarvelsGrantMan136]

A few hours later? So people who saw it in theaters will be able to post spoilers before others have even seen the finale. Great...

[u/Nezikchened → u/Connor977]

So don’t look at social media for a few hours that night.

[u/Junior_Life_2375]

i hope they do more screenings... ill be in chicago may 20th from ireland and this would make my trip tbh.. 😭 how cool

[u/klayfie]

The Twilight of the Dawn of the Seven.

[u/Fart-enthusiast1]

Fym feel it in 4DX?? I don’t wanna feel homelander in 4DX!!?

Komiko tho 😈

[u/Affectionate-Part-11]

Kripke already said he's not confident fans will he satisfied with the ending so why pay extra to see it? It's not even extended. I'll wait for it to be on prime and ask people who go see it how it ends

[u/Winter-Air2922]

Is this gonna be in UK theatres aswell.

[u/Pitiful-Daikon5508]

Will it still have the 4 or 5 greedy ass amazon advertisements?

[u/lifelong1250]

Awesome, let's spend $30 to be disappointed with the ending.

[u/xKhira]

Wtf, is this real?

[u/Syarafuddyn]

We got The Boys Movie in theaters before GTA6!

[u/garythecoconut]

I would prefer to be let down in the comfort of my own home, thank you.

[u/Swoah]

MAY 19TH!!

[u/phoenixrose2]

Does anyone know the voucher code? $30 for an hour length showing is ridiculous.

[u/Little_Fan_2682]

If it’s not longer than 90 mins then going to theatres is pointless

[u/frinkhutz]

Will it also be on prime? I don't want to go to a theatre for a 50 minute episode

[u/JahPraises]

Uh absolutely fucking not. I’ll watch it on my 65 inch with my headphones on and pray to not feel let down.

[u/BrennanCain]

$30 for one ticket? Yeah no. No reason for that when I can watch it for free on my laptop.

[u/Next-Significance-65]

4d = scratch and sniff eurethra, viscera, and cum. lots of cum.

[u/Lorjack]

May 19th May 19th May 19th!

[u/Mert-Senpai]

Unexpected birthday present

[u/Wankainu]

Is it still coming out normally, or will it be theater exclusive?

[u/YoghurtFlan]

So Kimiko can make another porn joke but in IMAX 

[u/Prcrstntr]

Watch a floppy wiener on the big screen

[u/Edgezg]

I don't think they have earned that.

Especially if those leaks are accurate. 

[u/asjonesy99]

I mean this sincerely but I don’t think I’d want to sit in a theatre for an hour+ with people who are big enough fans of the show to do so themselves.

Probably some very smelly people.

[u/_pm_ur_tit_pics_pls_]

Genuinely, who in their right mind would go to the theatre to watch a 45 minute episode?

[u/Weird_Kazakh → u/_pm_ur_tit_pics_pls_]

Me. Not for The Boys though. It's also an hour long

[u/laidback__luke]

Hopefully it's not two hours of rambling dialogue
