    Holy brsh! I bet they’re going to do really shocking and gross things, break the 4th wall, have the heroes blur the lines of morality and incite the audience to question whether the good guys are really all that different from the villains after all, and then cap it all off with the death of a major character that nonetheless returns the plot to where it started.

    What would really not be in my bingo card is if the story moves forward in a meaningful way that isn’t just hanging Trump Homelander in front of the audience as an existential threat and saying “dude this time he’s really gonna do it, he’s gonna do the really bad thing” while the status quo is still magically preserved. Nothing Ever Happens.

    I hope they have some real mix-ups planned. I enjoy it but it is starting to get a little stale.

    Hope it’s better than S4. Stuff was good until the ending of S3, then S4 just increased the shock value without narrative payoff (including multiple sexual assaults that were supposed to be “funny”). Ending was good this time, but I’ve been disappointed enough that I’ll wait for reviews before watching.
