I mean, the whole point of the show is a critique on fascism.

It's definitely already outstayed its welcome in the USA.

We tried and failed, you're on your own now

He's probably been approached by one too many chuds that worship their idea of Homelander and that think he is his character.

[-] Belgdore@lemm.ee 9 points 4 days ago

He is apparently an asshole based on his bar fighting and how he treats his costars.

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Perfectly casted.

I believe a show should only run as long as its story warrants it for. Some shows can go however long it wants because it creates its own stories on the go like Doctor Who or Star Trek so they're going to have many series and seasons. But shows like Dexter that start going off its hinges and falls apart because of it going for too long because it had no direction and its story could already be pin-pointed as to when it ends. Those kinds of shows shouldn't be going on at any rate.

If you don't have the creative prowess to keep a show going, tell its story and be done with it.

Like "Longmire," or "The Mentalist."

The bad guy was gone, what else was left? End the show on that.

[-] piyuv@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

It’s already ran too long imho. Season 3 amounted to nothing.

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 6 points 4 days ago

Yep I totally lost interest a while ago it got so repetitive

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 6 points 4 days ago

Yep it steadily declined endless "homelander bad but can't be stopped because reasons"

Homelander kills the shows version of "Trump", then takes complete power. As his first act as president he puts tariffs on the world.

[-] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago

I thought that Homelander was the version of trump ?

[-] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I think you're right, but this would definitely seal the message. MAGA still doesn't get the satire.

[-] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Well to be honest the MAGAs possibly look up to Homelander as a hero.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 63 points 5 days ago

As a huge fan of the show im glad it's ending too. Anymore multiple seasons of resetting the power balance would kill any interest.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago

looking at supernatural, kripkes other creation. when the 2 new showrunners took over, it became nothing more than fan/slashfiction for fans who becames extremely obsessed with the characthers.

[-] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 38 points 5 days ago

Looking at you, Grays Anatomy

[-] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

if I see one of the boys thrown backwards into a wall by a supe and be perfectly fine after ONE MORE TIME...

[-] CallateCoyote@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Agreed entirely. A show should last only as long as it takes to tell its story. 2-3 seasons is fine. Hell, even limited one season shows are great.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

limited one season shows

That's called a "mini series". :)

And BTW, Shogun was the finest thing I've seen in years, maybe ever. My wife and I were drooling for the next episode, week in, week out.

I admit to prejudice. Watched the original mini series many times growing up, read the book three times. My wife's half Japanese, really seems to dislike Japanese anything (🤷🏻), still loved every second of it.

Yeah, last season wasn't great. Hopefully it'll end strong.

Yeah, don't want a supernatural situation going on.

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

I mean Sam and Dean could have gone on for another 10 years and I wouldn't have complained.
