I've enjoyed it. Some good gory deaths and a few laugh out loud moments so far. I figure it will really turn to shit once Soldier Boy joins the party.

Last episode was the best so far of this season.

Homelander is the perfect fucking villain. It doesn't get any better.

He is so good.

I'm actually getting a little nervous with season 4 being announced. I'm not sure how long they can keep ramping up the tension with him and the show doesn't work without him imo.

The best line from Homelander

"Is your idiot brain getting F'd by stupid?"

I about died laughing at that and how easily he said it. Then she uses it on the talk show host.

THE MESSAGE!!! is getting to be more and more of a glaring point in this show... Police hate the black community... it is racist to patrol the black neighborhoods... yada yada yada

I also see that piece of shit Seth Rogan showed up in this episode as well.

God... I want this show to be better than that... I love the general plot but here we go with this stupid fucking bullshit.

You realize he's EP. Him and Evan picked up options on a ton of comic book properties, they EPed Preacher too, TMNT, Invincible, . . .

That said, yeah it was a wet fart of a comedic scene.

I am shocked that a tv series based on a comic book that was a commentary about the shittiness of the bush administration and the war on terror could have anything that could be interpreted as commentary about the shittiness of radical evangelical alt right neonazis and their golden calf, president twittler. Inconceivable!

I don't know if you watch, but there's the concept of satirical viciousness, and then there's the execution.

And while I enjoy the show overall, the fit and finish is pretty ham-handed.

They'll have someone making a point about one issue, and then the chyron, or a reaction soundbite, references a completely unrelated buzzword.

For instance in the last episode, they replayed some of Homelander's speech from the previous episode about how he's tired of pretending he isn't superior to the rest of mankind, and the banner at the bottom of the broadcast said something about 'Homelander complains about cancel culture.'

That's a case of not respecting the intricacy of the source narrative and just wanting to insert buzzword snark.

Like I say, I mostly enjoy the show, . . . but the satire 'updating' is pretty amateurish.

Oh, and I just remembered, when they introduced Supersonic and they had to remind us several times he was hispanic because he looked like a regular fratboy dudebro boybander, . . . and it turns out it was just to pay off the joke where Homelander orders him a Vaught Taco Salad.

On one hand, a teensy bit clever and funny, . . . on the other incredibly ham-handed, desperate and shoehorned.

Here's a little closed captioner's verbiage choice that you won't soon forget. . . .

This show is woke garbage that won't be relevant 5 years from now.
