Although the show lost its initial shine it was still entertaining and I will watch it especially since I believe its going to wrap up both the boys and the gen v storylines.

I completely agree. The show peaked at season 1, when it was an underdog story of "normal people" VS "powered people" (sponsored by big Corp).

After "the Boys" started to get juiced up, the series de-evolved into tired trope of "if you can't beat 'em join' em" sup VS sup.

Of course, it didn't stop me from watching all the episodes and Gen V. ... But I'm really looking forward to having this ride finally end.

It's funny that in the original show they are juiced up and stronger than most of the supes on day one. MM is actually a supe on his own right. His original beef was that his mother was contaminated with V so his brother died when his powers appeared.

Vought estimated that if they were you fight, they boys would lose by a small margin, with heavy casualties in the 7 with only Homelander, queen and maybe noir surviving, so they have a "truce" of not direct aggression

They are still the underdog in terms of sheer numbers. In a full supes vs boys scenario it wouldn't be a contest.

Are they going to do that stupid shit and release it on 2 or more stages? I fucking hate that and it's making me drop streaming services.

they had a long hiatus with invincible so much so, people just watched the comics being played on youtube. its the AOT all over again. and only 8 episodes per season, isnt exactly helping it. plus they dropped the techjacket arc alittle from the show.

at least it will keep them on point. S4 was a massive waste of nothing.

I already got bored of the show about halfway through season 3.

I hope Eric "Endings are hard" Kripke can actually deliver this time, this is the only show of his that has not disappointed me and I hope he sticks the landing
