I enjoyed the finale a lot. One thing that bugs me about myself when I watch shows like this, though: I can see people fly, shoot lasers from their eyes, and do all sorts of other fantastic stuff. But the news report at the end that says Ashley was unanimously impeached and removed from office in a single day was too much of a suspension of disbelief for me.

I don't know why I can set aside reality for all the other stuff, but a fundamental misrepresentation of how government processes work is too much for me to go along with.

I'm not making fun of you at all, but it sort of reminds me of going to any military movie with my dad and him declaring "that's not what those look like" anytime there's an interior scene of a submarine based on the one time he went on a military sub owned by Denmark's navy like 40 years ago.

That's funny!

I think mine is because I teach AP US Government, so that kind of stuff just makes me twitchy.

My small nitpick is how it seems to fluctuate how much damage supes take. Sometimes they beat each other up and down and no blood or even a bruise. Also, how is every supe somehow bullet proof? How does Noir shrug off .50 cal bullets but a knife breaks the skin?

And the camps foe Starlight followers was partly Sage's idea yet Hughie and Starlight just let her walk at the end?

Yea I'm not sure how they were able to fend off immortal homelander in the oval office so easily when he has beat the hell out of them easily on several occasions.

Equally frustrating is Homelander being content to continually punch Butcher while he knows Kimiko is the one who can actually hurt him. Why he didn't grab her and give her the same treatment he gave faux-Elon Musk - throwing her into space - is beyond me.

Overall enjoyed it. Some small complaints. I appreciated that characters stayed true to who they are. Story made sense for the most part. There was appropriate build up and payoff.

Terrible ending to a terrible final season. Even GOT season finale was better compared to this. Where was the scorched earth the writers were hinting at from Homelander? What was the point of the gen V characters if they only got little air time? Not that I didn't enjoy seeing Homelander finally die but the final showdown was very very weak. Extremely lazy writing.

Seasons 1-3 of this show were fantastic. 4 slowed down and this season was god awful.

Overall the season wasn't as good as those prior, but I thought they nailed the finale. Was wondering how they'd depart from the source material and I thought the decisions Kripke made were perfect there.
