I think this episode was great but the writing a bit inconsistent

Worst pacing of all time, all the random bullshit slow pacing garbage they did in previous episodes caused the finale to be a pile of shit that felt so unrewarding and incredibly rushed, 2min fights, quick scenes to end subplots and to move the main plot as fast as possible. Soldier boy is completely stupid in this show, sage also because why is she the one testing kimikos blast. And onto kimikos blast, this is such poor writing, all throughout the season it is constant slow paced plots with resets every episodes, and now the final important method is introduced on the penultimate. And i am sick of the ready grotesque shit that doesn’t serve the plot, back then it did, like s3, but this dog and cat thing, waste of time because the writers think that’s what we like, mf get to the plot. So many things unresolved, so many character arcs rushed because of this. And once again gen v kids absolutely waste screen time just for Canada duty. The writers truly fucked their show over for spinoffs, which is so ironic because that’s what vought do. I genuinely hate the writers for how they did s5, ruined what once was a 10/10 show
What did you guys want? Like what did they need to do to make that finale better than it was. I truly don’t get the hate for this show i just rewatched from season 1 sorry the pandemic made you guys think it was better than it was but I think it’s been great the whole damn time
So disappointing
The writing wasnt great and felt inconsistent. It focuses on new characters rather than characters we already know. Noir’s death was sloppy and Sage just “predicting people” is strange. For what it is tho its good i like some of the moments.

One of my favorite episodes of the whole show. Would’ve been a 10 but the ending pissed me off.

This is this first episode ive really noticed the writing being bad more than other episodes. There were also things i was disappointed we didnt see. But some veey iconic scenes. The scene of Butcher finding Homelander in the box is one of my favorite scenes in the whole show and that itself is giving this episode extra points.
One episode left and gotta say, things are not looking up. Probably the worst season of this show
Not nearly as good as the last couple seasons, but it’s way over-hated. There were lots of good things in these episodes albeit hidden and not evident on a first watch
