Hideo Kojima is known for his movie and TV show reviews on X, often sharing verbose conclusions as well as some slightly shorter takes. Usually the latter isn't a great sign, as was the case with Madame Web and Return To Silent Hill, which both got pretty matter of fact responses from the Death Stranding creator.
Kojima's latest post featured The Boys season 5 finale, as he wrote simply, "Good Morning" alongside four images. These were Billy Joel's 'Piano Man', which played an important part in the final episode as well as two posters and a picture of Karl Urban as Billy Butcher.
Good Morning 🙏🙇🏻🫶👍 pic.twitter.com/8iSjaQf1ERMay 20, 2026
Although it was another brief response from Kojima, the emojis included make us think it might not be such a brutal review after all. These were a praying emoji, a bowing person, a heart, and a thumbs up. Seems not too bad, right? Showrunner Eric Kripke clearly agreed as he retweeted the status too.
Fans have been reacting to the review – and it seems like some are just as confused as us. "Kojima experts, there's no text but there are emojis, is that a good thing?" one wrote, echoing our thoughts exactly.
We'll have to wait and see if Kojima gives any more insight than that, but he's always been a big fan of The Boys in the past. He notably gave season 4 his stamp of approval, calling out a Homelander-heavy episode and saying it sets itself apart from other superhero stories.
Not only this, but the game designer has previously revealed that he wanted to make a game like the TV show too.
