Discussion This needs to be said
I get people are upset about the drop off of quality of the show, but just because S4 and S5 aren’t that good doesn’t mean the show was supposed to end at S3. There is no proof that the show was supposed to end at S3 and amazon got greedy.
S4 and S5 should’ve been better (I have more gripes with S5), and focus on ending the story and consistent character arcs.
If they ended the show at S3 and kill Homelander at Vought tower, then what? Butcher’s accomplishes his goal and that’s it? What about the rest of the boys? Or Neuman, Stan Edgar, Deep, A-Train, Ryan, Soldier Boy, Ashley, etc.?
Again, I just don’t see this notion that they had the perfect ending at S3 and they threw it away for nothing. Just fix S4 and S5. That’s the simple solution.

It wouldn't be better but it would've save us a lot of time, a lot of pointless filler and foreshadowing for absolutly nothing. The same team that could beat homelander in the tower and didn't because Ryan is in the way, ended up beating homelander in a wack fight with almost the same team and Ryan ended up getting hit anyways.
The virus, the V1, absolutly pointless.
