User Banned (2 Weeks): Sexist Rhetoric

Ending was ok, didn't hate it. All the side character stories were really bad (Hughie's dad bit would have been fine but the sex stuff was a big NOPE) and Sage's "all according to keikaku" moment was suuuuuper predictable but the method was at least kinda smart enough to land a little with an entire season of misdirection and focus on the VP.

I really disliked how bad they handled the Ryan situation at the end though, that was the most predictable thing ever and Butcher giving him respect enough to make his own decisions felt like the good path forward. Also never a big fan of "hey look this one character (Butcher) is slowly growing, nah nvm back to the status quo (kills everyone with tentacles)". He'll probably get some weak moment of redemption in the finale but I was getting a little invested in his "I'm dying time to be a real dad" bit.

And honestly a little surprised they didn't just kill Starlight so they could avoid even more plastic surgery reactions in the next season, cause if she's actually addicted to cosmetic surgery she'll get even more before the next season starts filming.
