I'm caught up finally. The finale was fun, lazy writing but fun nonetheless. I like when shows aren't always happy endings, it makes it seem more realistic.
What I liked:
- Stormfront's white genocide talk was so authentic. That's exactly how those kooks sound. Homelander's "okaaaaay" look was priceless.
- Maeve calling Hughie a twink. "I'd split that shit like dry firewood!"
- Yasss! Girl power, fighting scene.
- Homelander Jr. freaking out from being around the crowd, good detail to add
- "That's a white man's luxury" line from Stan (Gus Fring)
-
Becca dying - Idk, I was getting tired of the Becca storyline, I was starting to feel like she wasn't worth the stress. Lol. Although I feel bad because nothing good has happened to her since she's been raped.
What I DIDN'T like:
- I'm so FUCKIN' SICK AND FUCKIN' TIRED OF QUEEN MAEVE EX MACHINA APPEARING OUT OF NO FUCKIN WHERE TO SAVE THE FUCKIN' DAY
Seriously... this is the 3rd time they did that shit with her character alone. Stop the lazy goddamn writing already!
-Yasss! Girl power, Avengers-like fighting scene
- Becca escaping suburban Alcatraz. If the show tells us that it's some air tight fortress, fine... I'll grant you that Butcher can break in and escape because
he's got a particular set of skills, they've established that. I don't buy that some housewife could ninja her way out of there while an army is looking for her.
- Becca being able to stab Stormfront... So she's invulnerable to bullets but not knives?
- Mother's Milk and Becca surviving Stormfront throwing the car (let alone being able to run around right after that) is nothing short of plot armor.
- Butcher surviving Stormfront's lightning attack is plot armor of the highest degree.
- We get that Stormfront is a Nazi, please stop beating us over the head with it... The shows like
"She's a bad person, right guys... hate her... Nazis are bad... right? right? Look she's with Hitler.. baaaaad."
Thoughts?
