OOC, do you think the response would have been as strong without right wing media making it a thing? -
My take after the finale is that the show just doesn't warrant strong takes. They spent $150M to get us to a pointless anime fight that changed absolutely nothing about the status quo. The only reason this show exists is to have that duel, a duel that can only have one possible outcome. Again, does it pass a character vibe check? Yeah, sure. Like I said I don't mind a prequel. The prequel trilogy and Rogue One bring something to the table other than vibes. Even Solo did, to a lesser extent, despite the fact that it's not super likely we'll see on screen follow up to some of the things it teased. This show just doesn't have any of that. Why have Obi-Wan struggle with the force and in combat? In a matter of literal hours he goes from barely being able to use the force to pulling off one of the strongest displays we've ever seen on screen. He just... gets it back. He doesn't overcome anything, he doesn't have to sacrifice anything, he just turns it on when he needs it. Every major character in this show had a foregone conclusion with the possible exception of Reva, who was obviously going to "fail" as soon as she set her sights on Luke. The show kneecapped itself every step of the way. And while I don't care about the canon of it all so much of this finale just decides to iron out the wrinkles in the most awkward way. Obi-Wan calls him "Darth!" Like on the Death Star! Vader clearly wants revenge, but a stern talking to the Emperor stops that from happening, that's convenient! Obi-Wan dunking so hard on Vader makes absolutely no sense and makes his sacrifice in ANH seem unnecessary. But hey, turns out Obi-Wan gave Luke the toy he was playing with in ANH and he got to say "hello there," so check off those boxes I guess. What a wildly uneven series.

I know the characters in this show and even the show itself are often not terribly smart, but what fucking sense does it make to come back with Soldier Boy, having just almost all been killed by a different, immortal supe that they clearly will not be able to actually control? Like thanks for depowering Homelander, back to Russia please. My guy has been outside his Pringles can for a day and a half and has killed 20 people.

Chicago makes too much sense. I'm happy there will be matches at Gillette but that place is in the middle of fucking nowhere.
