    That’s a fair point and plausible Kevin would overlook them as witnesses, and I guess its the ‘correct’ answer since her death was explicityly shown on ‘previously on’ , but there’s a year between the season she was killed and this one, you’re telling me the first momement any aquatic animal first decided to tell him ‘We know(that you killed ambsrosius)’ happened to be directly in the aftermath of the spill??

    Like I could buy the knowledge of Ambrosius’s death combined with the spill showing he’s no defender of the oceans could cause a consensus among aquatic animals to banish him, maybe only the cephalopods were pissed about the murder and it took the spill for a ocean wide consensus to be reached, but if that’s the case why not just add a line or two of dialog explaining that? like I can’t explain it away as anything other than bad writting

    my The Boys finale thoughts

    I’ve mostly abstained from criticising the writing this season because I wanted to see were it would go, and a lot of stuff I chalked up to budget constrains, but they really spent 80%+ of the season on the Supe Virus and V1 plotline all for it to go nowhere other than a slight nod to an upcoming spinoff? but surely they could have had a ‘Clara would have wanted it’ moment without wasting all that time? I guess they felt the first Seth Rogen cameo in the series wasn’t long enough and need to fit in an other

    In addition for Gen V to be robbed of any impact on the greater story, having Annie give them two instead one one ‘don’t be heroes save yourselves’ speeches don’t make up for that

    While I thought the Starlight vs Deep fight was ok(if not a few season too late, and can definitely understand her fans being pissed she’s been portrayed as pretty lame power-wise even after gaining more control over her powers and not even contributing to the Homelander fight), but I was confused by something; the sea animals that killed him were saying ‘Justice for Ambrosius’ his Octopus gf he’d killed a season or two before but how did the rest of the sea life find out about her death?

    And if he was killed because of the oil spill black noir II caused, how did they find out he was indirectly responsible? a single scene explaining the death of a character that’s been with us since e1 doesn’t seem like much too ask if it could have been a conversation

    And I have to agree with the little bit of other reaction what I’ve seen from my cursory glances at the reaction so far: it was complete bullshit we never so Homelander go full psycho tearing apart crowds of ‘unbelievers’ or nuking cities from orbit with his laser(as explicitly implied in some promo material) and literally the largest instance of supe caused destruction in the show being BNII destroying the pipeline and it happening offscreen!

    Well even if the rest of the aftermath(like buildings were getting destroyed left and right in earlier seasons and the all we got from the tip-e-top climax was a slighty un-ovaled office) was lackluster, at least de-powered Homelander breaking down and telling butcher he’d suck his dick and eat his shit was satisfying but it was carried by Anthony Stars’s acting, like 50+% of the show

    Not as bad a fumble as GoT tho
