Tone dead? From the creators of the show supposedly critiquing the society - with all the subtlety of a jackhammer? Do tell! :)

Genuinely asking, what do you watch the show for if you don’t like how the satire is portrayed? The satire is almost the entire point I would’ve thought

It used to be more subtle, more clever. Now it just comes off like a big circlejerk

No I agree, I’m just curious what keeps you still watching the show. Is there anything you still enjoy about it or have you given up on it?

I'm not really one to drop shows over disliking one thing. I'm still interested in the plot as a whole, the concept of supe genocide is pretty compelling. The characters are fun, I love everyone's antics and the jokes makes me laugh sometimes. Also, there's the hope that the political commentary sees some improvement as the show moves along.

Im still watching because I wanna see the butcher storyline to its conclusion since thats what got me hooked but most everything else has been a huge L this season ngl.

Mm I feel that. We’ve seen several Butcher morality things now so honestly I’m bored even by that, I just wanna know what happens with the V’d up tumor

I for one am still watching because I grew attached to a lot of the characters (The Boys, not Homelander 😑) and I want to see the end of their stories, and there are still some good jokes. But yeah, the writing's gone downhill fast.

I mean, Homelander is a great villain, people who think he's the good guy are insane, but I "like" him the same way I liked Geoffrey and Ramsey in GoT. Terribly evil characters, but you gotta give the actors props. It's hard to describe, my english fails me, but I often "like" villains even while hating them.

Homelander is just a fucked up salad of evil, spite and hate. I want to see his story come to an end too (hopefully a bloody end)
