I’ve never seen a show intentionally kneecap itself this severely just to alienate some portion of its audience that either lacks media literacy skills or is just trolling and here only for the Homelander sigma edits (or both) Antony Starr is literally the only reason to watch this shitshow which makes it even more hilarious.

It was a pretty wobbly season all told, and I do think there were times were Kripke didn't handle certain themes delicately (poor Hughie got sexually assaulted in three consecutive episodes and then gets victim-blamed for it by Annie?!), but I do think that last episode worked quite well in spite of itself. I will say that Claudia Doumit was pretty damn good and really deserved a better sendoff, but now that things are moving to the endgame, I am intrigued to see where things are going for what I assume is the final season.

I don't even feel like it was a wobbly season. This show is incredible consistent in quality. I feel like people are at mainly at that stage where nitpicking a consistent show is a natural occurrence. I do think the introduction of Soldier Boy last season raised the stakes in a way that this season couldn't quite match. Even saying that, the season finale was so strong and eventful, that even people who were hate-watching the show this season, are waiting in anticipation for Season 5. It was genuinely great. And special mention to the performances of Erin Moriarty, Karl Urban and Anthony Starr in the season finale.

It was a very wobbly season with the finale working out in spite of everything else. Annie was probably the worst character this season. You would think that her scenes with the shapeshifter - where she’s literally confronting herself and having to face her shortcomings as a person - would lead to some good character development for Annie (and Moriarty’s acting as the shapeshifter in these scenes is actually some of the best work she’s done on the show) but no, she learned nothing. After all that with the shapeshifter she IMMEDIATELY turns around and blames Hughie for his own sexual assault, displaying the same behavior she’s shown all season Poor Hughie had to put down his dad and then spend the rest of the season getting sexually assaulted in Tek Knight’s goon cave and then by the shapeshifter + the emotional manipulation that the shapeshifter brought. Has any man been through more traumatic experiences in such a short span of time? How is he not looking like this by the end of the season? ![](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/319/062/de7.png)
