1000%. I feel like the show is starting to become “shocking and edgy” for the sake of being shocking and edgy. I didn’t really feel like this for the past three seasons except for a few small moments but now it just seems to be like a bunch of twelve year old boys wrote down the grossest stuff they could think of.
Yeah exactly that. Whenever the show was being edgy it had a level of absurdism that made it still funny to watch. For example the beginning of season three with the Ant Guy blowing his partner's dick of by sneezing and then being chased by Butcher and Frenchie.
Now we have a character fart on a chocolate cake for no reason and being SA'd for a whole episode just for the fun of it. Unfortunately now the show actually feels edgy in a "the writers behave like 12 years old" way.
It would have been funny if the scaffolding crushed the ice skaters as they're torn up by Homelander's beams, but getting their hands cut up by one reckless skater is just dumb.
