The new trailer for Season 5 dropped today. Felt like the show ran out of steam some last season but hope this final season can make up for it.

Love this show. Hope they kill most of the kids from Gen V because that's the way it would go down in real life outside of Marie.

The problem with taking time off between seasons is that Ryan now looks about 25 when he was 14 in Season 4.

Biggest travesty is whatever the hell weird plastic surgery that Annie January had done to transform her from gorgeous to some sort of silicon-based alien.

Hope they close it better than GoT and Stranger Things. ST was better than GoT, but still a relatively low bar to clear.

For anyone who read the comics (I didn't), are the comics as politically focused as the show? Earlier seasons felt like they handled political topics in subtle and funny ways but it has gotten more heavy handed in Season 4 and looks like Season 5. It makes sense based on the themes of the show but wasn't sure how the comics handled topics.

It's been almost 20 years since I read the first couple of volumes - I think - but I remember there being a very strong Vaught/American government conspiracy, and the themes repeatedly going to corruption of power and degredation of women - Annie gets a lot better treatment in the show than in the graphic novels. All the white supremacy stuff wtih what's her name is in there, although that character is a man in the GN.

It will definitely end differently that the novels because of choices they've made inside the 7, but Homelander seems pretty clearly to be what the show producers think trump would be if he had super powers.

Screenshotted this from the trailer of The Deep and Noir 2's podcast. This is Noir's soundboard.



it's always been a ballsy show. I would love if they sneaky showed us the end of the series in the trailer and the final scene is a victorious Homelander with his feet on the desk in the White House.
