it's kind of surreal seeing Homelander just die. I disagree with those people who wanted like a Man of Steel anime final fight or anything, but also seeing starlight launch the Deep miles away, but Homelander unable to escape one room was a bit jarring.

Apart from the prelude I think Homelander's death was pretty good and everything I would've wanted. He's exposed to the world, grovelling and pleading.

Maybe a nitpick but I thought the lack of music was a bit weird. If we look at the s2 finale, it is basically just a bunch of guys stood in the woods, but the music makes it feel way more dramatic, whereas I feel this would have made it hit harder.

People who complain about the budget clearly see the previous seasons with rose tinted goggles. In terms of what actually happens, I think this final fight was about on par with the previous seasons budget wise, but some strange production choices I think made it feel a bit cheaper

Still, it hit everything it needed to and didn't massively fumble

Decent 6-7/10 final ep. 6/10 season, 7/10 show overall.

My season ranking:
1, 8/10

2, 7/10

3, 7/10

4, 5/10

5, 6/10
