So, finale thoughts. Obviously, SPOILERS!!
1. "Hey, Kraut." This was such a more believable and entertaining scene than the shoehorned girl power scene at the end of Avengers: Endgame imo, and they really let her have it.
2. I really, really hope Antony Starr and/or Karl Urban get an emmy nod for their performances. The look on Butcher's face when he was considering killing the kid was terrifying and might be my favorite performance of the episode, and Homelander in those last few scenes of his genuinely filled me with fear.
3. Becca stabbing Stormfront in the eye and Ryan turning Stormfront into a roasted German chicken. Holy shit. They really went in with the damage to her body. Now, she's a supe, and clearly on the verge of death, but without seeing the body, you never know if she's actually gone for good. Same with Black Noir. He's a vegetable apparently, but I haven't completely counted these two out just yet.
4. The special effects on this show are so well done. Anytime someone's head pops, whether by telekinesis or a hand, or whenever Homelander bisects someone with his laser beams, it looks and sounds so good. The FX departments are really good at their job.
5. Fuck Fresca.
