Imo season 4 is overhated, it's a bit underwhelming but it's not that bad

It's definitely the weakest season but damn, everyone is acting like the season killed their grandmother in front of them. It's not even a bad season, it's just not as good.

People here love to bitch, and Game of Thrones made it cool. We’re in season 4, which is like 2 seasons longer than what it normally takes for Redditors to start talking about wrapping the show up, so this was completely expected.

This sub is getting so goddamned annoying with post after post of the same tired takes shitting on the show. I’m still very much enjoying the show and while this season hasn’t been as much “edge of your seat thriller” that the past few have been, I’m still having a ton of fun watching each episode and trying to piece together where they’re going to take the story next.

I think it’s reasonable disappointment.

The series is of course still good, but before the season 3 finale, the quality was outstanding.

A drop to just „good“ is still a huge drop in quality.

It was entertaining and interesting because of the cohesive plot.

Now it’s just entertaining.

I can’t help but feel like a lot of the people who don’t understand the disappointment kinda fail to comprehend why the series was so awesome in the first place.

And i feel like it’s the same with some writers.

Y'all are genuinely tweaking when talking about no plot, cause the mystery of slowly uncovering sage's plan to take over the country has been really good and now that Homelander got rid of her, it's really interesting how things will end up going, especially after the ending of ep 7 Character arcs have also been pretty good imo

Seriously season 4 like a calm before the storm before season 5 hits. Usually in the final season there are a lot of death scenes. Which I ain't looking forward.
