Weakest season so far, but just saying someone who's got Rick and Morty in their favourites said this show is lost and is political propaganda LMAO

A disappointing filler season. It's not the worst, but not a good one either. It's a huge step down after the peak buildup in Season 3, though somewhat expected given the Season 3 finale's abrupt shift in direction.

The whole season feels padded, as if they're saving material for the ultimate showdown in Season 5, much like the MCU's storytelling approach they used to criticize. In fact, the finale undoes almost everything established throughout the season.

The show used to prioritize drama and corporate criticism first, with shock factor and edginess second. However, this season lost its steam, putting shock value in the forefront while everything else takes a backseat. Outrageous sexual undertones and extreme gore dominate, with only a few notable sequences and character dramas interspersed. In fact, I can mention only two: the Hughie and Hughie Sr. drama, and the Ryan-Butcher-Homelander relationship. There is an attempt to include an LGBTQ relationship drama, which caused contention among fans, but it ends up as a mere distraction in the finale, appealing to no one across the political spectrum.

full offense but the people who are just now complaining that the show has become "political propaganda" are dumb as fuck. what were you watching the past three seasons. the season 2 nazi villain was named stormfront...it was never subtle. cope

I’m four episodes in and quite frankly, I don’t see this show getting any better. At least Wandavision picked up after the third episode. Those people saying this is the best MCU show so far must be on crack.

UPDATE:
Now that I've finished watching all the episodes, I still feel a bit shortchanged with this show. I do think Oscar Isaacs did an incredible job all through the season, but I still feel it's terribly paced. Even though the last episode was awesome, I had already lost much of the initial interest. Ethan Hawke's character falls flat for me. Marvel films have created great villains with powerful motivations to justify what they do. Damn! I still think Thanos had a very good point! If Hawke was supposed to be Marc/Steven's foil, he came across as a bland bad guy who wanted to be bad because Khonshu is a trickster god who lied to him (we still don't know exactly how). Had his history arc been developed thoroughly, it would've opened more complex layers in the story. Also, they boast they got an Egyptian director who knew his way around Egyptian mythology... but... the show was quite lacklustre on that regards as well, IMO. Now we're left with a cliffhanger that hints at a second season. Oh my...
