In the video, which you can watch below, we see Karl Urban's Billy Butcher walking the halls of the White House wielding a crowbar. It's then announced that this is the end for main unit and Urban, which prompts cheers and applause.

The final episode of the hit Prime Video show saw Butcher beat a de-powered Homelander to death with a crowbar, finally finishing the mission the Boys embarked on all those seasons ago (you can read more in our The Boys season 5 finale ending explained). So, the fact that the show wrapped on the White House set is a fitting full circle moment.
"All I can say is I set out to tell a particular angle on this story," showrunner Eric Kripke has said of wrapping up the finale without going scorched earth. "I did what we do every season, which is try to focus on the Boys and try to make it a world that's recognizable to the one we live in. I really wasn't interested in a post-apocalyptic world. That just wasn't ever gonna be in the cards."
Our own The Boys season 5 finale review awarded the show 3.5 stars, and it reads: "The Boys has ended not with a whimper, but not with a particularly big bang either. While the series finale resolves the story of Hughie, Butcher and Homelander in satisfying enough fashion, the small-scale action can't help but feel like a letdown after five seasons of build-up."
