Following weeks of fans making their opinions known on The Boys season 5 finale, showrunner Eric Kripke has come forward to say he has seen the backlash online, but he still stands by what he created.
"Obviously, there are a lot of unhappy people online," said Kripke in an interview with TVLine, "but there are two things I would say: First, I'm just glad people are passionate, legitimately. My job is to make people passionate about the work I put out. If they're arguing about it and hating it and fighting, that's all passion, man. You're watching, and that's all good. My job is to get an emotional reaction, not necessarily to dictate what that emotional reaction is."
