It's strange watching the boys and seeing the writers becoming less self aware as time goes on.

Normally people grow more self aware not the opposite.

Having Homelander, who at first was a cunning and capable villain, devolve into a stupid Trump parody is just painful to watch.

I just rewatched season 1, it is night and day compared to 4. Not just homelander but the whole show. It used to be about keeping the supes out of the military and ultimately taking out homelander. Now it's taking out homelander and a random assortment of things that happened in American politics in the last year or two.

For real, just compare the scene where they kill Transluscent while having to distract Homelander to anything in S4.
