I liked the first season. it was shot better, Homelander came off as a manipulative pos instead of an idiotic pos in later seasons, and it followed the original source more closely.
Say what you will about the comic, it's not everyones cup of tea, but I just hate what they did with Noir in the show. I mean the comic had it setup beautifully for that reveal and the show just didn't bother to touch it. the MAJOR plot point from the comic, the entire damn comic series revolved around THAT reveal and Kripke was all "nah, i'm good."
Never read the comic, care to explain the noir plot and why it's so significant?
Very generally spoilery:
As I remember in the comics Noir is a clone of Homelander who was made and designed to kill Homelander as a failsafe. This is not the case in the show at all.
(FYI: I partially read the comics at a friends house a long time ago, and I have never watched the show.)
Not only that, but pretty much everything bad that homelander ever did was actually Noir. Homelander thought he was going crazy because he didn’t remember all the atrocities he supposedly did, because he didn’t actually do them.
