I’m not just entertaining the argument here, I’ve watched this and it’s something I firmly believe. If they really wanted 2 more seasons of this show then Season 3 is where they had to earn it and they just didn't deliver.

The 7 episodes before the finale are peak but that finale writing was so brain-dead you’d think they wrote that episode before they even wrote the rest of the season. It’s like the characters forgot Homelander was a world-level threat just because they were afraid Soldier Boy "might" be worse. Hmm. Okay. Currently in season 5 both of these motherfuckers are still living by the way and on the same side. Great logic. Sure.

So anyway they abandon their entire plan to kill Homelander because Solider Boy was gonna kill Ryan and Homelander. From a story standpoint I guess I sorta understand because Butcher made a promise to Becca but Butcher's entire goal at this point is to kill Homelander and he isn't just going to abandon that. Butcher has taken V so why not just force Ryan out of the room? Like just don't let him get involved at all?

But they don't do any of that they let Ryan interfere which was a ripple effect of terrible writing where Maeve is the only one actually trying to kill Homelander.

At this point Maeve and Butcher are the only logical characters left because everyone else has the worst dialogue regarding the situation (disregarding MM because Solider Boy was his biggest OPP) especially Starlight saying "I thought you were a hero" to Meave which was by far the dumbest thing anyone has ever said in this show and this show literally has the DEEP in it.

Then it gets even more stupid. Soldier Boy is destroying everyone and Starlight has that moment where she charges up for like a full minute only to knock him onto the ground and he gets right back up...? Yep that makes sense. Then Maeve ends up "saving the day" instead of having the chance to finally kill Homelander because the rest of the Boys are IDIOTS which leaves Homelander free to raise his son exactly like him.

That’s what they thought was a great finale which led into what they thought was an even better written season 4.

This is a prime (no pun intended) example of how to kill years worth of momentum for your show in sixty minutes.

We in the playoffs. We have a fighting chance. Anything could happen.

Honestly kung fu panda 4 is the perfect example of why studios need to just leave stuff alone when it’s already good. The first three movies were a legit complete story and the writing was honestly fit for live-action especially the second one with shen. That bird was vicious and actually made me want to learn karate for real, but this 4th one just felt like a 90 minute filler episode.

The pacing is just garbage you blink and the movie is over because they were in such a rush to get to the end that they forgot to actually tell a story. they basically sold the whole thing on jack black doing a britney spears cover which was fine i guess but you can't build a whole movie on a meme and hope nobody notices the script is empty.

And the furious five are just gone until the end and they don't even speak. you know the script is awful when the original actors probably read it and said "yeah i'm not doing this." they just replaced the best characters with a random fox and expected us to care about passing the torch when they didn't even take the time to build a good villain.

The chameleon was so weak i don't even remember what her motivation was supposed to be besides just "having power" or whatever. It's just lazy and they took a great trilogy and turned it into a cash grab because they knew people would pay for the name. Po deserved a better send off than this.

And apparently, their making a new triogliy, so it's bound to get so much worse.
