The thing is the same problem with all super human media.

Superman adjacent homolander should've killed all of the boys in episode 1 of season 1. There's no hiding from superman.

It's going to have pacing issues no matter what. It kinda works in the comics because the boys are all supes too.

Yea, that is...weird to me. Idk how anyone could watch the series and have that be their takeaway but I'm also not sure they should be tailoring the series to a minority of morons.

My issue is the pacing. Stuff that happened the past few episodes should've been done long before.

It lasted a season too long, at the very least. Its becoming more and more common to squeeze every last dollar out of a hit show, because who cares about legacy? All about the Benjamin's baby.

What world do you live on where morons are a minority? I want to move there.

Fair. There are a lot of morons, but I'd call those who like the villain in the show a minority. That's a special, unique type of moron

Hmm, there's appreciating the character and the acting, then there's going along with what the character does.

Those are different things. You don't have to agree with what the character does to like their part in the story. A big part of what makes the show good *is* Homelander, specifically how Homelander is portrayed and acted. That's more a compliment to the actor and the story than the character.

Last thing a story like that needs is to change the character in a misguided attempt to make them less likeable. Which is what is happening to Sydney Sweeney in Euphoria, case in point.

There is no criticism of the acting. The guy portraying Homelander has done a great job considering he was an absolute nobody before this show. I'm sure he has gotten a nice fat raise during the run and he deserves it. Obviously Karl Urban and Jack Quaid are top billing, but the show wouldn't go without Homelander's performance. It has just gone on for too long.
