Back where we Started

The new season starts where the first one ended. The Boys are on the run, blamed for a bunch of bad stuff they didn't do. The action is pretty good again and still very gory. However, some of the standard new Hollywood tropes are beginning to wear on me.

• (1) No One gets Along: The Boys don't get along. The Seven don't get along. The Vought employees don't get along with the Seven. What is up with this? Is this how Hollywood people live their lives? Goodness. The Umbrella Academy same thing. Doom Patrol, same thing. It's so stupid and unrealistic. Watching a bunch of losers bicker is NOT entertaining and it's not believable. These people would never accomplish anything in any situation.
• (2) Everyone is an Idiot: The writers and show runners of the Boys think comic book fans and for that matter the general populous are stupid. In the show, regular people are shown as stupid simps blindly following heroes like Homelander. Don't you think if every time a superhero captures a "terrorist" and they completely destroy a 5 or 6 story apartment building, killing most of the people in it, people would notice? There are witnesses. Vought covers it all up? It's just ridiculous.

What has really happened?

Plot wise, nothing much has really happened. Starlight leaked compound V. Stormfront has been added. The Boys are on the run and pretty useless. All the supes are villians. Sounds a lot like season 1. I suppose The Deeps plot line is supposed to be funny, but its just sad and boring. Humor is something that is clearly lacking.

I'm beginning to think they are gonna keep the plot at a crawl to try and draw things out? The show is turning out to be just another pointless, narcissistic, arrogant, audience hating, anti-hero Hollywood production.
