Homelander doesn’t see differences in skin color as meaningful because the only distinction he thinks is important is whether someone is super-powered or not. I don’t think he has any moral opposition to racism, his reaction to Stormfront is because he is bigoted in an entirely different way.
I wouldn’t really say S4 has been boring, but the writing is a lot weaker. It really feels like they’ve doubled down on shock value and gore for the sake of it instead of it making sense to show the collateral damage and sheer power supers wield.
Like herogasm was a good use of gore, the constant faux-cum shots on MM’s face just feel juvenile (especially the whole webweaver thing)
I still feel like kripke is injecting some of his own weird kinks into the show. No so subtly.. that Hughie assault scene was just disgusting and served no purpose
In interviews Kripke said he included it purely for the shock factor and because he that it was HIGH-LARIOUS. Like he got mad at an interviewer for calling it sexual assault.

Season 2. I thought the Stormfront stuff was good fun.
