I'll give it a chance since The Boys turned out so well, but seems like a weird choice for Amazon, wouldn't this and Invincible be pretty similar?

Frenchie and Kimiko’s arc about going off to live a happy life just petered out to nothing, a big ol’ reset back to keep them both on the show.

Not at all. They wanted to leave because that was the only way they could see to take control of their lives. Kimiko choosing to get her powers back and Frenchi standing up to Butcher puts them in a place where they know they're doing this because they choose to, and that if they decide they do want to walk they have the power to do so at any time.

Having the final fight take place in the TV studio made me convinced that it was going to end up on the air, especially considering the previous events of the season.

It's odd that they're leaning so heavily into the anti-Trump propaganda (like their version of "I could shoot laser someone in 5th Avenue and not lose a single voter"), like he's somehow still relevant.

I mean... He was a glorified celebrity. He coasted entirely on being "new, exciting, and politically incorrect"... Then fell on his rear end when it mattered most.

Thus, he loses re-election. He gets laughed out of the courtroom. He even gets banned from Twitter.

This would've hit harder a few years ago... But at this point, they're just preaching to the choir, aren't they? Or is it like some sort of weird PTSD thing?

They started filming in February 2021, they would have been writing the episodes in mid-late 2020.

There's already an arc here, but it's being overlooked if not wilfully ignored. For example, Marie self-harms to get the blood she needs for her powers because she feels guilt about her parents, but then she learns she can manipulate the blood of other people as well - to help.

Absolutely looking forward to some epic fight where the more people she kills the more blood there is around so the more powerful she gets.

I'm mostly impressed at how strong Emma is. Tunneling through a guys head by hand is hard work.

When they were talking in the cell one of the shots was explicitly from a security camera in his cell, which seems like a thing that is going to come back up.

:lol: he'd be fun to work with

Apparently is. Have you seen the skit he was in as part of Aunty Donnas Big Ol' House Of Fun?

I'm up for more spin offs if they can have very little focus on superpowers in them and explore this hosed up universe as a caricature of ours pumped up to 11.

I wish we could have seen Breaking Bad play out in this universe, basically the same story except Walter White is cooking temp V.
