With just three more episodes of The Boys season 5 to go, fans can't help but feel that a huge chunk of the final season has been dedicated to setting up the upcoming spin-off Vought Rising, and are wondering what it would look like if that were not the case.
"I’m curious as to how the whole The Boys storyline would’ve gone if they never created Vought Rising, because it’s dictating a lot of the final season and Homelander’s plot," said one fan on Twitter. Others seem to agree, with one replying, "This season felt more like a segway for Vought Rising."
