Warning: Spoilers
I'm amazed at this finale. Cast and crew managed to create a surprising ending I didn't expect, while keeping it entertaining all the way through. Girls really get it done and Maeve finally stepped up in the end. Stormfront's story was very exciting and thrilling. Maybe she'll come back for season 3 with a Vader suit ? Just kidding, but we'll see.

Butcher's development was extremely satisfying this season. Remember when he didn't give any credit to Hughie after exposing Vought in episode 3 ? Well, he gladly congratulated Starlight and him this time for leaking Stormfront's secret to the press. Also, Karl Urban is great at playing a conflicted character and the way Billy promised he'd get Ryan back to Becca, I knew he wouldn't go through with the deal he made with Edgar.

Becca's death was emotional as punch and I feel so bad for Ryan. This kid was already suffering and conflicted, this drama won't help at all. I hope he's fine. As I understood, it seems like he is the show's version of Edgar's contingency against Homelander, but kinda hope he gets away from all this madness. Also, we still haven't seen Teddy Stilwell grow up. Maybe he has powers too ?

Speaking of Homelander, the actor does such a great job at expressing the character's pain. The viewer kinda relates to him, in a strange way. And the Neuman reveal at the end was something to witness. What is Hughie getting himself into ? Damn.
