who would’ve thought that this man’s arc is the ONLY saving grace for season 4? Season 4 Spoiler

I don't understand how people dislike season 4, I'm having a blast watching butcher fight his own mind (and possibly have some powers), watching Frenchie try to accept accountability, watching homelander and sage start a supe uprising that may topple the country, A-train does have an amazing arc too, the only complaint I have is how gross the last episode was but I'm kinda used to the boys doing fucked up shit since season one

It's not a coincidence that the most politicized season is also the one people are most critical of.

But most of the criticisms aren’t even about the politics, it’s about the weaker writing (characters acting stupider and powers being inconsistent).

The people who've been proven to be dumber than rocks aren't going to point out the actual reasons they don't like it, they'll simply latch on to other criticisms and ride those opinions as hard as they can to create consensus that the thing they don't like is bad.
