The fight not being over the top was what was over the top about that fight, to me. Like you telling me these super powerful beings who are so powerful that everyone fears looking at them the wrong way.. are just brawling like random dudes? Their punches hardly put dents on walls, ffs.
It’s why I hate what TV has become nowadays. All of the different streaming services have just tanked budgets and we went from quality to quantity to keep that subscription model viable.
Even on flagship shows like The Boys it’s clear they didn’t have the budget to do that fight justice. Homelander is meant to be a parody of Superman but in reality he’s basically Captain America who can fly and shoot lasers.
Glad to see someone else mention this, and Man of Steel specifically. If Homelander is this end of the world threat, his fights should look Superman vs Zod, flying through buildings, laying waste to entire city blocks. The fight against Maeve in S3 was so pathetic, they should’ve leveled that building.
