Mostly related because of the obvious inspiration behind Soldier Boy, but shortly after this came up in my Youtube feed:
What really took the cake for me was Homelander just walking right by Butcher in the end with his wife's son and disappearing. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how the final go against easily the greatest threat to the entire planet was brushed aside in favor of a guy who still has to walk everywhere.
For sure, I kind of spaced last night while working on something, because that was where I was heading. Season 3's effective reset means we're at the halfway point between targeted seasons, but the actual plot treaded water. There's only so much teasing of getting Homelander before it's downright stupid, and we kind of already saw that when Butcher had him dead to rights, only to throw it away on the weakest sell on who they were trying to build up (99% off screen in interviews and press releases) as "worse than Homelander."Can also ruin it by dragging a 4-5 season story out for 8-10 years

Good point. And I certainly recall a dramatic drop in quality for a while that lines up with around those seasons where he would have not been involved. I haven't seen the last few (several?), so I can't really say, but I'm glad they ended it when they did seeing the current state of CW.well, i think with kripke we have supernatural as evidence that he sticks to plans regardless of how popular what he's working on is. with supernatural, he had a 5 year plan and he stuck to it, then he moved on. he was in sort of a consultant position i think until season 7 or 8? but he left supernatural after his 5 year plan despite the CW blatantly telling them all that they would renew the show indefinitely for as long as they wanted to keep doing it.
i don't like kripke as a person but i think we can trust what he says based on his track record. he'll do 5 seasons and move on. whether the show continues without him is a different issue and THAT'S when i think we'll see plotlines dragged out for too long
