Poking through the online fan communities, people seemed to resent:
the desire to push a new spinoff show, Vaught Rising, starring a character that people didn’t really care about (Soldier Boy) who kept disappearing and coming back,
visibly reduced production value,
marketing that teased plot turns that never happened
dragging the show past its expiration date by 2 additional seasons
I was always an arms-length viewer of the show, never really embracing it, acking it for the edgelord-chasing nihilism that it offered but never caring much about it. All that criticism sounds about right.
Respect to the on screen talent; they deserved better.

You missed:
I wonder how they interpreted the Homelander/Stormfront romance. The red blooded 'murican was “fixing” the nazi?
I’m surprised hearing people not caring about Soldier boy. I almost dropped the show after season 3 but he was the main reason I stuck around
I liked his 1950s dad vibe. He should’ve given the boy the whip instead of v1 though
That’s what I thought was gonna happen in the finale
