I feel like this show is getting worse. The drama elements have always been lazy as fuck. But the first two seasons had a pretty effective satire of capitalism as a system. Now Vought is just a hollowed out shell under Homelander and the connection between Homelander and Trump is becoming really explicit, so the satire seems to be getting more liberal - it’s not superheroes that are the problem, or the ideology they exist in - we just gotta stop Homelander.
That’s okay, I’ll still keep watching that garbage, because some of the actors are really good at chewing scenery and making the best of what the script gives them - but the show has always felt a bit lazy and it’s starting to feel like it’s running on autopilot now.
I felt the last season was kind of crap.
Felt like they were just re-telling the same story/conflict. And I'm with you, the problem was always about hyper capitalist exploitation of powered people and how messed up that would be if it were real.
Now it's just "homelander bad".
