I enjoyed both the books and games, and accept their differences. Heck, I even somewhat enjoyed the first season of this show. But season 4 is worse than I feared it could be, and now we are hit with a musical interlude?? No.
Hemsworth is a bad fit, and that's not because Cavill is a better actor. I actually think Cavill is a terrible actor with no emotional range - but that's what makes him an excellent Geralt.
But the whole show now seems to have lower production value than many fan-made series you'll find on YouTube. Netflix, you have failed the fan base, quite completely.

It's fairly common opinion that the MCU has been in decline since Endgame. The tone of their projects has shifted significantly with seemingly a focus on bringing in a "new generation of fans" which has mostly felt like it's alienated those of us who've been with them since the beginning. F4 changes that - it feels a far more "grown-up" comic book film (if that's not a massive oxymoron) with a more serious tone than much of what has come before it. In fact, it's more similar, totally, to Winter Soldier than anything from Phase 5. This is good. Very good, in fact. It gives us hope. Maybe we can go back to watching Marvel films without complaining they've been scripted by AI, for 5yr-olds.
I had hope. Genuinely, I did. I didn't hate the Snyder movies, but while I thought Cavill made an excellent, stoic, Superman, he did not have the range to add the necessary contrast as Clark Kent.
Corenswet seems to play Superman closer to Clark; we don't see much of his secret identity in this movie, but his Superman demonstrates far more vulnerability than we are used to - not just physically, but emotionally. I think I understand why Gunn has approached the character in this way, but I can't say it completely works for me. Far better in the second half, however, so perhaps there is hope for future outings.
Krypto, however, is a revelation. It's everybody's dumb-but-loveable dog, on screen - that he can fly doesn't really matter, it's still our dog.
Hoult also deserves mention as perhaps the best Luthor we've seen.
