The Boys was great. For about 1.5 seasons and then became an expensive, repetitive, gratuitous mess that made no effort to keep changing the formula. I actually convinced myself it was okay enough to get through the whole series then looked back and thought “I can’t remember a single significant plot development that led to anything real beyond the first season.”
They almost ruined that series with the budgeting/ animation. They saved it with the finale. I’m not going to hop the animation hate train, though. It definitely came down to budget/ time constraints.
I think they do a good job of choosing when to turn the heat up on that budget and when to dial it back.
I don’t think they had that as well dialed in during Season 2, but I couldn’t complain much about the Conquest fight. It could be miles and miles better, sure.
side-eyes Invincible
…almost everything
Fallout and The Boys are also very good. Also continued The Expanse well.

i dunno, Stormfront was a good storyline, as was Soldier Boy. last season was TERRIBLE though and exactly as you say. just treading water.

I’ll take rough animation over that cgi trying to look like animation crap that never looks good.
What do you mean? Invincible handled the animation perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhndpv7sEqE
