Well, you are right to a certain extent, but you can't forget the heavy amount of storytelling that goes into Shadows of War. We get a lot of memorable moments that we never imagined seeing before:

-The gang exploring the Shadow Dimension and fighting the shadow counterparts of many iconic villains.

-The villains having to be the ones to step up and try to stop a even bigger threat from taking over the multiverse.

-That scene with Red Fork and Ace is special.

There's a lot of storytelling in that story, despite how it did have a lot of repetition. So it's far from a boring story. Now, if you had a story where most of the story is just: beat villains, rinse an repeat, then you have a boring story. I think it's the only thing keeping Season 4 finale from being as engaging as the other season finales. It has a great beginning, but when it's time to fight the villains, there's almost no storytelling, and it's just battle after battle with almost no storytelling.

Season 1 finale and Season 2 finale had complex stories and plots that introduced memorable characters, had emotional moments, had characters develop, change alliances and were important milestones in the main story arcs of the series.

Season 3 finale starts to get a bit repetitive, but still manages to do effective storytelling and develops several things. Though I'll admit it does get repetitive.

Season 4 finale I think does something similar to the Season 3 finale, but has less storytelling than it for the majority of the story. Sure, the beginning was epic, I won't complain. But the middle of the story is just battle after battle, with no storytelling bits in between.
