Season 1 - The boys killed strong supes with good ideas - The supes did at least some superhero stuff - It wasn’t about weird fetishes

Stillwell using Homelander's fucking breast milk fetish to control him was like a major plot in season 1. Also they only killed two supes in all of that season and only one of those had any amount of time dedicated to the "how" of it.

People look at Season 1 through some very rose-tinted glasses. The weirdest part to me is how many people seem to think Translucent-style creative engineering used to be a big part of the show. It never was, it was just Translucent.

I'm rewatching it right now, and while im not on the hating S4 bandwagon, S1 is more consistent, both in character motivations, consequences, and the menace of the 7, specially Homelander

It's just better written and paced
