If you watch a show about superheroes the point is for them to actually do something.

You have a good point. One of the few shows that conned me that something would happen. Satire became too contemporary and all emphasis went on gross out.

It got a bit too mainstream for you, huh?

I do feel that the earlier seasons were more clever than the later seasons

Maybe it's because they leaned on the tds

Beyond that, it was anticlimactic and cheaply done. Homelander stopped being menacing. He was just a whiny, impotent cunt. In the graphic novel, which I looked up after the finale, Noir was a more powerful Homelander clone designed to keep Homelander in check. The U.S. military descends on the superhero rebellion and pulverizes them with V-seeking missiles and depleted uranium rounds.

The Boys would've been better if it were directed by someone other than kripke and if it released post-trumpism.

I agree it was boring and the character arcs went nowhere. They had some interesting backstory for Noir, killed him, replaced him with some other guy who went on to do nothing before being killed himself. What was the point of that character?
