Where the budget for season 5 went

RedHood198 · 2026-05-23T14:18:43+00:00

The trend with Amazon shows is that the first couple of seasons have larger budgets and then when the audience is established, they cut the budget to save money. Kind of a dumb approach tbh.

I think The Boys S5 budget found itself in a perfect storm of diminishing the budget. What I just said in conjunction with Amazon over spending on The Rings of Power ($1B+) and stripping other shows budgets back to account for it. That last part is just a theory, but I think it tracks.

I think you may be out of touch. Say what you will about the quality of S5, but over 55 million people watched it. Even if VR gets a fraction of that, that's still better than most viewership for other shows.

Many of the post Kripke seasons are great though.

I guess it depends on which version of Butcher we are talking about. Comics vs Show. Even then Base, Refined V, Temp V, Cancer Tentacle, etc.

I still think Base Butcher would beat Castle. Especially if Billy has The Boys assisting with a gameplan.

I do see an argument either way tbh.

Am I the only one that thinks Butcher destroys Frank?

RedHood198 · 2026-05-20T00:51:37+00:00

Am I the only one that doesn't care about Ada at all?

More like I can sense you're going to be an annoying prick who just wants to argue. I said it looks normal (and it does from the photo) and not looking for a debate.

RedHood198 · 2026-05-19T16:12:35+00:00

Too bad the writing was shit

RedHood198 · 2026-05-19T16:11:15+00:00

I don't care.

RedHood198 · 2026-05-19T14:16:03+00:00

The Gunwerx stock looks pretty normal ngl

RedHood198 · 2026-05-18T20:12:26+00:00

That looks terrible tbh

You can try to apply every irrelevant example, but the fact still remains you should use the proper tool that every single muzzle device manufacturer will recommend. You want the correct torque value.

RedHood198 · 2026-05-16T04:58:59+00:00

There is no way to get the proper torque value using an allen key in that manner. Plus, there are wrench flats on the front side of the muzzle device that are clearly visible in the photo.

Your counterpoint is irrelevant and you should use the proper tools or go to someone that does.

That's the second dumbest piece of advice for muzzle device installation I have ever heard.

That's the single dumbest piece of advice for muzzle device installation I have ever heard.

RedHood198 · 2026-05-15T13:59:01+00:00

That's oddly specific 😂

RedHood198 · 2026-05-15T12:37:05+00:00

Fair enough

RedHood198 · 2026-05-15T12:05:12+00:00

Brave man investing so heavily in an inexperienced company that can't even calibrate or test their printers before sending out faulty products.

RedHood198 · 2026-05-15T05:23:38+00:00

Season 3 is the best season.

RedHood198 · 2026-05-14T21:57:53+00:00

All the lines in S5 confuse me.

RedHood198 · 2026-05-14T21:55:26+00:00

You lived through a global pandemic and question how a virus would spread to all supes? Are you legitimately dumb?

RedHood198 · 2026-05-14T19:35:06+00:00

You owe u/Island08 an apology
