Spoilers Surprisingly they didn't try to subvert expectations. Butcher kills Homelander, and Hughie kills Butcher. The show was always structured for that result and I'm surprised Kripke didn't try to pull some "Game of Thrones"-esque Arya kills the Night King. It was a very fast episode with no fat at all. I stopped watching after season 3 but wanted to see how bad the ending was. It was the most straightforward episode of the entire series.
It still got in it's usual Anti-Christian shit that Kripke loves. It wasn't a bad episode but it wasn't anything special. It was very meh, and I don't think you want your finale to be meh.
The entire G men roster were paedophiles, and also victims since it was a ritual cycle of initiation with new kids joining the group.
Until Stillwell simply shot the shit out of all of them and dropped the last group of kids into the ocean while they were trapped in a shipping container.
.......the fuck....
It just sounds bad.
