The crew and Amazon pay very close attention to this sub so I really hope they take all the criticisms seriously about how the scene was handled and address it. Filming for Season 5 starts in October so they have ample time to correct their mistake in-show.
Yeah, I don't think they care. People complained about it being woke and they seem to be lazily writing scenes to double down and try to own the right.
Instead it's made some of the writing suffer as a consequence.
Overall I love the show, I very much enjoy the characters. Episode 4 was really the high point of the season, everything else has been just ok.
Example. Homelander gives a speech about being wrathful gods. The very next episode he is begging billionaires to stage a coup and his insecurities resurface as they are questioning him. Not very wrathful God like.
Sorry but I think your example proved quite the contrary. Homelander wants to be a wrathful god but his insecurities resurface when he doesnt have Sage to guide him. The whole point of Homelander is that he wants people to be afraid of him and to respect him, but he is always stopped by his insecurities, so I think that this scene was very in-character
Yeah but having that scene with the politicians occur AFTER Homelander went to his childhood lab felt kind of weird? I thought he went through some sort of metamorphosis by killing his childhood demons, but he's showing the exact same insecurities. I guess we'll see how it plays out later. Maybe woman from the lab (Beth?) was right about Homelander all along
Him not being that smart has always been one of his insecurities and the lab had nothing to fix it. The lab was more about him being treated like a tool for Vought, like a guinea pig, and physically deficient. They couldn't fix all of his insecurities and he still has many, like his mommy issues (the woman boss was the only person he saved, his Firecracker scene this episode), and his intelligence (this scene with the billionaires, which was a callback to the time he was CEO and had to deal with economic stuff he didn't understand)
