It wasnt that bad. Tbh the plea from homelander with the shit and dicksucking was fitting. It was homelanders idea what a person in power wants from someone beneath him.
It wasnt that good of an ending either, but at least it was kind of fitting. I have seen way worse endings from other shows.
Only thing that really angers me. Why not let the end fight wreck havoc on washington as a whole and fly kimiko in on the the second? That would have elaveted it way more. I know they wanted to have it on cam for the public but there would be ways to do this.

The sad answer is Amazon cut the budget and rushed the season. They dont want to upset the child raping President
The_Meemeli@reddit
They didn't wanna upset Trump, so they made the allegory even more obvious by having the whole final battle in the oval office?
music3k@reddit
They meaning Amazon. Not the writers numbnuts
airfryerfuntime@reddit
Amazon cut the budget ahead of season 3, then it stayed roughly even until it ended.
yeezusKeroro@reddit
Kripke basically said Amazon reduced the budget this season. But idk they could've budgeted it out so they had more money to throw around for the finale. Even the Walking Dead which is notorious for halving their budget after the first season and losing most of its viewers toward the end would go balls to the walls with the practical effects and wide angle shots in the premier and final episodes of the last few seasons.
Tablesafety@reddit
Yeah the ending wasn't bad or unrealistic for the show, but it also wasn't SATISFYING. An explosive, balls to the wall supe on supe final battle that goes on for a few minutes and puts everything destructively in front of everyone's eyes- livestreamed by bystanders- culminating in Kimiko desperately hitting the shot at zero hour like you said, would have been far more satisfying. From there you can do the whole Homelander groveling thing- that fit and would have been satisfying if there were more dramatic 'foreplay' as the show would say.
This ending is kind of like being stopped from the explosive orgasm and then having it dribble out anyway. You still had sex, the show was good. You'd take the finale again if you had the opportunity, but it could have been much nicer- if that makes any sense.

imo his death in the comics was a lot more fun where he's not as snivelling or cowardly. I get the impulse to want him to be like that, but it's just super boring to me with how it was done here. Like it's the most predictable by the numbers ending to the character you could write.
Still better than the Deep's really weird death.
Filter55@reddit
I was expecting the deeps death to be a lot crazier somehow given how freaked out he was about going in the water. Like I thought we were about to see him get dragged through aquatic hell like those level transitions in Injustice.
Instead it was kind of abrupt.
Tablesafety@reddit
Oh that would have been dope
Ver_Nick@reddit
It seems most people haven't been around real narcissists for a while, sounds really fitting.
Senior_Independence4@reddit
Not really though. Homelander had a way better idea of what Butcher wanted in how he offered him Vought and a Becca replacement, it would've been a lot better if the suck dick eat shit lines didnt exist and he just regressed to denial after seeing the becca comment clearly upset Butcher
ProfNoob1000@reddit
He just lost his marbles in that situation. It was fitting to show what a fragile piece of nothing he was on the inside.
KennKennyKenKen@reddit
The idea was good the execution was bad
iAyushRaj@reddit
I liked the finale. Would have paid of much better if there weren't countless shit fillters in past two seasons
DevDaNerd0@reddit
1) Posts like this are why I'm glad I don't watch shows until they're properly finished, the complete lack of context here makes it so much funnier bc I genuinely can't tell if this is really in the show or just a meme.
2) Now that the show is finished, is it worth a watch? I've heard that it gets pretty sloppy towards the last few seasons but that was like a year ago that I heard that so idk

Cumtown?
harmyb@reddit
Holy shit, I'm actually crying, these are amazing
onarainyafternoon@reddit
No you’re not. I’m literally looking at your through window and you’re not crying at all.
ConsciousStretch1028@reddit
You're looking through his window. He's crying and you're looking through his window?
onarainyafternoon@reddit
No I’m looking your through window
ChoiceFudge3662@reddit
Your looking I’m at through window no? He window at look your through me, and Your looking I’m at through window now?
onarainyafternoon@reddit
Jizz.
Brendraws@reddit
It's like the AI they were using to write the show finally had a stroke from all the quirky, 'shit poop dick fart haha' douchebag humor they've been feeding it from the start.
SilDaz@reddit
Kinda mad they didn't make the scene in The Sopranos were that character literally said she'd suck their cocks if they didn't kill her
T-MoneyAllDey@reddit
For 20 years I ate grilled cheeses off the radiator. You never know what it does to a man
j0siahs74@reddit
How bout this humidity?
number1kohlistan@reddit
She any good?
What am I asking you for, you probably taught her how
God I need to re-watch that show again
Krapio@reddit
Stupid how they ruined a good actor and made him spew stupid shit.
Could have kept him evil and said rotten things.
Rest was fine
THEPIGWHODIDIT@reddit
The whole run up to the ending, and then the ending, was bad
xvsanx@reddit
WE GOTTA FIND DA V1 OVER THE SPAN OF 2 SEASONS!
V1 has literally no impact on the end game and Homelander is pwned by a single lil blast
airfryerfuntime@reddit
V1 didn't exist until like the second or third episode of this season, but still fair.
xvsanx@reddit
ah misremembered, over 8 episodes* honestly season 4 was so unnecessary
InsectGlaiveBard@reddit
This was really the least bad part of the finale, but as always, 4chan has the mental capacity of an 8-year old Heath Ledger's Joker fan.
If they can't see how Homelander has always been a pathetic little worm and the only thing keeping him confident was being all-powerful, then I don't know what to tell you.
Season was still atrocious. But this is the one part that actually made sense.
airfryerfuntime@reddit
Homelander was also extremely arrogant and prideful. Even without his powers, I'd still imagine it'd take him a little more than a minute to grovel like that.
InsectGlaiveBard@reddit
He was only extremely arrogant and prideful BECAUSE of his powers. The entirety of his character is him making up for the inadequacy he feels, which is why he seeks out approval from Madelyn, Ryan, Clara, SB and even Stan Edgar.
He knows what Soldier Boy's powers can do, which is why he tried so desperately to fly away. Once he gets hit with it, he knows for a fact he's powerless. So him regressing into a pathetic, whiny baby begging for his life makes perfect sense. This whole season was him looking for a way to never die.
tiffanaih@reddit
I don't know why they had to make soldier boy so wishy washy instead of just using his already established power. "We gotta save him for the spin off" ok so why did we set up the whole season making it seem like V1 made them invincible, he still could've been the one to take the shot and lived...but we gave it to Kimiko to avenge Frenchie I guess? Just spinning their wheels all the way to the end.
airfryerfuntime@reddit
They didn't even have to save him, the spinoff takes places in the 50s.
InsectGlaiveBard@reddit
It's what Clara would have wanted
Flush_Fries@reddit
Mandy (2018) did a “I’ll suck your dick” as a way of not being killed way better
ConsciousStretch1028@reddit
The Monsters Inc one killed me
Pulp_NonFiction44@reddit
Me when my low brow slop show has a low brow slop ending
Tenko-of-Mori@reddit
someone please summarize what happened at the ending of this shitshow
Jaffawho@reddit
They figured out how to give Kimiko Soldier Boys Biden blast then she did it to homelander and butcher killed him, butcher was going to release that virus and kill all the supes anyway so hughie killed him
KNGJN@reddit
It's legitimately not worth the effort
Valk93@reddit
Surprised no log posting made it in here
sofaking181@reddit
There probably was, OP just didn't share his screenshots of it
TheOnlyGuyInSpace21@reddit
The slander spreads.
"Thank you, Homelander."
"Home...lander?"
"Because you landed... at home..."
"Oh yeah."
F00TD0CT0R@reddit
And there it is
Holy shit hahaha I was waiting for the dog shit csm ending
TheOnlyGuyInSpace21@reddit
"Thank you... Billy Butcher"
"Billy Butcher?"
"Because you're Billy... and you wanted to butcher supes..."
"Oh yeah."
WoolooOfWallStreet@reddit
Billy Butcher: Any of yall want a hamburger?
Qverlord37@reddit
The ending was pretty average, but the true enjoyment is seeing the shitdips who worship homelander mald over how homelander was portrayed.
PillowPhone007@reddit
This slander is so good i need to shit
BirdyWeezer@reddit

Peasent_in_Yellow28@reddit

timmyx2times@reddit
