The Prime Video release is only landing a few hours after the cinema screenings begin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So while spoilers may hit social media that night, it\u2019s not like viewers at home will be waiting days to watch the finale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you\u2019re really worried about it, you can always install an extension like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/chromewebstore.google.com\/detail\/spoilerprotection\/eelacikjiplnmdingehjfdjcfegclmkg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spoiler Protection<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> until you get a chance to watch it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Boys \u2013 Final Season Trailer | Prime Video\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XNQbH1SDPRk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Funnily enough, the spoilers aren\u2019t even the biggest talking point among fans &#8211; it\u2019s the price. \u201cThey want $60 for two tickets for an hour episode at my local theater.
