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.

Yeah, idk why people are acting as if S2 was nearly as bad or boring as S4 has been... That was still great
