Or maybe the blind people just miss more.

That sounds like it goes all-in on what I disliked about it.

I'll pass.

I wonder what the Swahili on the Swahili coast think of that, after becoming the Swahili on the Swahili coast.

Devil's advocate: it's a good thing to change things up a bit in an adaptation, both to keep old fans on their toes and maybe come up with new ideas and interpretations.

I had a similar reaction to the s1 ending but I was going to give them the benefit of the doubt that they have some idea of how to work with this.

My big issue came a bit later, when they had Homelander kill Stillwell. To me the main point of the comics was that all the capes were ultimately a non-issue, a theatre. Stilwell was THE most dangerous, evil and scary character, personifying Vogue.

And they replaced him (her, I guess) basically with some comic relief idiots afterwards.

I lost interest during season 2 because it was just too on the nose and obvious, which is odd given that the Ennis original (which I love dearly) is about as unsubtle as you can get.

The other issue was I felt like they largely threw the anti-corporation themes out of the window in favour of making it a superhero show.

I loved the first season, but the way it was evolving in the second just didn't sit well with me.

It's super obviously a joke, probably with a large dose of mareting stunt.

So I'm supposed to memorise all your little community rules just to post here?

This reminds me of what happened to me many years ago. I was riding a moderately packed tram to school, still half asleep, when a guy came up to me and showed me an ID card. I thought he was a ticket inspector and so I look my pass and showed it to him. He nodded and went away.

Only after a few seconds my brain finally managed to decipher what was written on his card - that he's disabled. So obviously I jumped up and lead him to my seat with apologies, but I found it hilarious how we both apparently misunderstood each of our ID's, just in opposite directions.

The car goes out of view for a but and then fails to appear when you'd expect it to which draws your attention just before the face appears. It's subtle and devious.

I did and turns out this fact is made of wood.
