Let's try to open some FAIR criticism of the direction the manga has gone in recent years.
I'll start.
I think having Saitama act like a goofy troll towards Garou in an where there have been multiple human casualties was a grievous mishandling of his character.
It makes him look like an ass, and it was violently out of character since he never mocked or toyed with any of his other opponents.
It made it pretty hard to feel any sympathy for Saitama when it blew up in his face.
On top of that, Saitama went further into childish dickishness when he threw a little shit fit and almost wiped out humanity.
At least Garou had the excuse of being possessed. Saitama was simply going to commit even further to the fuck up and would've erased the planet if it wasn't for Blast bailing him out.
To top it all off, Saitama spend the entire fight clowning on Garou, who was arguably the biggest victim of God, so his victory really isn't satisfying since Garou would never do any of this monstrous things his Cosmic Variant did.
So all in all, it resulted in a Saitama that I wasn't really fond of, beating on someone who wasn't in their right mind.
And then the story wanted me to think Saitama was cool because he only used one hand and didn't kill the teenager who didn't want to kill anyone in the first place..... while naked.
Not Saitama's greatest look.
