The Boys wrapped its five seasons on Prime Video with 'Blood and Bone' on May 20, where Kimiko strips Homelander's powers before Billy Butcher finishes him with a crowbar.

Musk, after seeing clips, labeled it pathetic and speculated on outside pressure, but Kripke called it the best review ever, especially since they killed off a Musk-like character too. Fans divide over whether the downfall fits the satire or betrays the buildup, with an alternate filming where Homelander wins left unused.
