The Boys recently aired all episodes of season 4. Throughout its satire of pop culture, one scene made fun of a cringy moment in Avengers: Endgame.

Eric Kripke’s The Boys has brilliantly deconstructed the superhero genre and satirized the genre in inventive ways that fans have loved. Along with its social/political commentary, the show mocks the commercialization that comes with superhero films as well as its contrived tropes that have appeared in the MCU and DCEU.

One of the finest entries in the MCU was Avengers: Endgame which culminate the Infinity Saga in a thoroughly satisfying and emotional way. However, the scene where all the female superheroes come together in the final battle comes off as forced and ridiculously convenient. The Amazon show made a mockery out of that scene with a hilarious parody in season 2.

The Boys Season 2 Brilliantly Made Fun of One Cringy Scene From Avengers: Endgame 

Avengers: Endgame had some wonderful sequences that harkened back to the history of the MCU as well as giving key characters a bittersweet closure. The film’s final battle brought back almost every hero in the MCU as they band together to fight Thanos and his army. Fans still remember the absolute thrill of seeing the iconic final battle on-screen.

However, the final battle had one scene that felt unearned and forced. In the scene, Spider-Man gives the Infinity Gauntlet to Brie Larson‘s Captain Marvel who is joined by the female superheroes. The way that they all come together came out of left field and felt too corny instead of being memorable.

Season 2 of The Boys hilariously mocked that moment in the scene where Vought promoted their female lineup of the Seven including Stormfront. Queen Maeve and Starlight. The ‘Girls Get It Done’ promo is made deliberately corny and is a clear dig at how Endgame made the aforementioned moment with the women superheroes unintentionally funny.

On Instagram, fans criticized the scene in Endgame and gave a shoutout to The Boys for satirizing the infamous moment. gamer451989 and fayeesscott wrote “The worst scene I in avengers endgame it just ruined the flow” and “That was so corny I was literally embarrassed watching it”. The scene clearly left a poor taste in their mouths.

matthew_d.101 and sevensovercast also commented “its funny because later in the same season The Boys did it again unironically but it was actually good” and “That scene in Endgame would’ve been better if nothing was said”. They pointed out how The Boys pulled off a similar moment in the season finale with great conviction. jordancaruso’s echoed fans’ overall verdict as to how “The Boys is such a freakin awesome show” and knew what they were doing, unlike that Endgame scene.

Eric Kripke recently delivered a shocking cliffhanger in the finale for season 4 of his Amazon show The Boys. The next season is set to be the final chapter of the show and he is planning some big things to happen in it. In an interview with LadBible, the creator revealed that he has always planned the show to be five seasons.

Kripke further stated that the end of season 4 is comparable to the second act of a film where the protagonist are at their lowest point and are desperate to solve the dilemma they are facing. Season 5 will be the epic ‘third act’ where they come together and try their best to save the world from Homelander’s reign. The showrunner said,

I think the finale of season four really shows you that we’ve been planning five years all along. I always look at it as of the five seasons, we’re kind of at that point, that’s sort of the end of the second act of a movie where everyone’s really at their low point, and they’ve all faced their own personal demons. They need to really come together in the fifth season and save the world.

With Soldier Boy also set to be a major part of the last season, It will be interesting to see how his dynamic with Homelander affects his current rise to power. The Boys are separated and it will be a hard task to bring them together again after what happened in the season 4 finale. Fans hope Kripke delivers a thrilling season 5 for the show. All 4 seasons of The Boys are streaming on Prime Video. 

Avengers: Endgame is available to stream on Disney+.
