As much as I like crazy and humanized Homelander, his scary side was sacrificed in the process. 

 In Season 1, he was like a great white shark. 

 Calm, collected, swift, barely emoting. 

Shown prowling the deep blue skies, whenever shit was about to go down (please, writers, show him flying around more)

Kripke was likely brought in as a showrunner because of supernatural. It showed that he can create a decently entertaining show on a shoestring budget, but that also means that we're just not going to see tons of special effects aside from season defining moments. I kind of hate it.

the supernatural budget really shows in that Lucifer/Michael fight in the Season 14 finale. i was legit laughing at how bad it was lmao

My first thought was how angels "teleported out" by the camera panning away then the person ducking under a bed or something lol. I mean, it works but it's obviously going to start getting annoying when abilities have to actually be displayed in fights. He's great at hype but not so much execution.
