The shite was Hughie really was take, I mean we had a guy who could grow his penis to trap people, a guy who would shrink down into penises, etc. I've found this season the debauchery is mild compared to previous seasons.

I have. That's why I stopped watching after season 1.

If they did that, the people in this thread who somehow just realized this blatantly political show is indeed political would be complaining about that even more.


If the show stuck to the way the comics handled politics, no one would bat an eye at it. Apparently the showrunners decided to be stupid about it on this show. Sounds similar to what happened with Kirkman and Walking Dead (comics and show, both, in that case).

At least S2 had the Nazi chick and S3 had Soldier Boy.

Can anyone even tell me what the plot of the show currently is? I'm thinking killing Homelander but that seems to not have moved much at all.


I don't care about the woke in the show, it's always been there, but this is a problem. It seems to be following the Game of Thrones trajectory where the plan to the end of the show is just garbage and they are floundering to tell a decent story. All they have left is their absurd moments, which really aren't shocking or that funny anymore. We've seen too much from this show already.

They screwed up the ending with the things they changed from the comics. I imagine they're having a hard time figuring out how they're going to salvage that. In that way, I guess they probably are faced with a similar dilemma to Game of Thrones: they don't have an ending from the source material that they can use and are going to have to make one up.

This show used to be interesting even the political stuff. Now it's so over the top woke it's not even entertaining. I fully expect OMB or TDS before it's over.

You’re probably right. But i can’t remember an entire episode dedicated to it. And if there is, I probably didn’t like it either.

That was easily the worst episode of this series. Agreed with many others, this show is close to falling off the cliff quickly. I was pretty disappointed with how last season ended too because the first 3/4ths of season 3 were awesome. Since then it’s been average/below average.

I enjoyed episode 5 but this episode sucked. It was all over the place.

Someone explain to Tiffany that women do that shite because of one reason and one reason only: other women.



Just kidding, she already knows that.

I never thought I'd get a cakefarts reference in a major hollywood production.

Hitting a little too close to home, is it?

This is my biggest problem with the show now. The political stuff is annoying this season. I don't care which sides get made fun of as long as it's funny/clever and entertaining. And this season it just isn't (or is far less than previous ones). But the main problem is that we are hardly advancing at all toward any sort of meaningful plot resolving. Outside of a few side plots they've thrown at us, not very much is happening. I hope that changes a good bit over the next few episodes.

I'm gonna keep watching but Ashley raping Hughie was so fricking gross. There was nothing funny about it like there was when the small dude sneezed in the guy's dick and blew him up.
And yes, I know the show has been toned down from the comics.
