Like, the full on Sheer Fucking Hubris style scolding Edgar gave Homelander? S1 Homelander was a walking atom bomb, unstable and terrifying. Edgar must know about that. I know Homelander is trying to play happy families now but still. Edgar's limo should have mysteriously flown off a cliff after that nonsense.
And, scientology? Sure but your writing has to be really good to add anything to all that's already been said about it. Unless you are happy just using it as a cheap plot point.
It's more than that though, the Deep abuses women because he's insecure and can't accept himself. OK, we get it. So then what we need of course is Homelander humiliating him about his gills and setting him back. Crap, obvious writing.
And the theme of the series turning to children being used and abused. I dunno, was Epstein before or after they wrote this? There had better not be a secret island somewhere.
And Stormfront being a supporter of having free speech and therefore obviously being a White Supremacist Nazi. I knew they were going to do it but I'm just disappointed how heavy handed it all is.
Worst of all we're 3 episodes in. There's only another 5 to go. How much have Frenchie and Mother's Milk contributed so far? The writing is giving them no real reason to be there.
You can see the lack of imagination all over the place. The scene in the hospital was straight out of a soap opera.
I probably hoped for too much. After the massive change to the comic story at the end of s1 I thought they would be off and running making their own thing. I should have known better, I watched Game of Thrones all the way to the end.
