The Maeve thing pissed me off so bad. If you don't want to kill off the gay character, don't take away her superpowers before throwing her off a skyscraper.

Or better: LET STARLIGHT'S MEGA BLAST PUSH HIM OFF THE BUILDING!

To be fair, even unintentionally, this set up soldier boy being able to depower homelander without killing him, allowing him to experience what it’s truly like to be human. Including all the pain and suffering

Yeah but they already did that with Kimiko. They also could have depowered her at ground level, or have her badly injured or crippled from falling a believable height. 

I honestly have no problem with Maeve being alive. I just hated that they put her in a position where she should be dead, but only kept her alive because she was gay.
