I thought the finale was fine as I watched but, in hindsight, it feels like not taking Homelander’s powers away (even if temporary) was a big missed storytelling opportunity.

I enjoyed the whole season a lot, but it definitely felt like they chickened out at the end. Still I think this was my favorite season. Soldier Boy was a great addition and Anthony Starr continues to own the show.

I definitely liked it better than season 2. It's pretty much neck and neck with season 1 for me. But i'm a sucker for really well done set-ups.
There was ONE SCENE that Amazon said F**K NO, you have to cut. I couldn't quite understand why considering everything else we have in the show, but: Homelander, after being dressed down by Stilwell in episode 2, was standing on one of the Chrysler building Eagles. He pulled his pants down and started jerking off, mumbling "I can do whatever I want" over and over again until he climaxed all over New York City. We shot it! Oh my God, Anthony was the BEST in that scene. Amazon seemed to think it wasn't necessary. I thought it told me something about his psyche. To be clear, they've been great, that may have been the ONLY fight I lost in Season 1.
I haven’t seen this show but it sounds pretty wild. Of what I’ve read in this thread, what surpises me most about what the show has gotten away with is it’s overtly gendering title in the first place. Very insensitive.

They actually ended up using that scene last season.
