the same as you. sad and lonely
fpbp. frick yourself op and stop bumping this thread
He'll probably say "fricking shit Hughie. Butcher goddam maeve starlight edgar compound v. Super powers jesus christ mommy issues I don't need a dad ughhhh Ryan is gay uhhhh im going to jerk off again uhhh"
They've already diverged from the comics. Suppose they decide they want to redeem him. Could it be done? How, if so?
>How, if so?
He realizes all his anger is from being male and decides to transition and becomes Homelandette and everyone talks about how brave and inspiring it is
>666
I'll be furious if Satan pulls some strings to make this a reality.
tbh homelander becoming a legit hero would be the most subversive thing they could do in this age of "what if superman bad lol"
He kinda killed way too many people to go back
It'd be a fascinating plot point though. Of course he can't go back, but seeing him try would be entertaining as hell.
Yeah it might be fun
Many of those people had it coming. Him becoming a hero is more interesting than the comics anyways
If they can make Kratos into a protagonist they can do it to Homelander.
Might as well, story is already completely different, make him tragic or something and have him try to become good but die, hopefully not right before he dies.
>part of the point of the boys is that homelander and his ilk aren't complicated, there's nothing to aspire to or romanticize, they're just greedy, basic buttholes, like any other celebrity or powerful figure
>make him the main character
sasuga, amazon...
The Obi-Wan series shone a light back on all the fricked up things Vader/Anakin did so if he can snap kids necks and be saved by his son I don't see why Homelander couldn't be redeemed at least a little bit by Ryan in the end. Obviously he has to die, but it'd be interesting if they do try have him do some good before that. tbh I think you see a glimmer of that when Ryan asks him to leave Butcher and he does instead of killing him.
Dies saving Ryan from Edgar's army of supe clones
He will get angry at something trivial with a close-up of his face and ringing in the background but not actually do anything
Teamed up with soldier boy to form The Two
It would kino as frick if Soldier Boy is just using that "I'm ya daddy" shit to kill Homelander. That would be the perfect sad end for him.
That sounds rad and sad as frick bro. Love it.
>Soldier Boy further ruins Homelander and is the embodiment of the deranged Homelander
>They come to blows to the point of almost killing one another
>Black Noir helps Homelander and their fight almost wipes out Voight Tower
>Queen Maeve is freed by Starlight, Kimiko, MM, and Frenchie
>Queen Maeve is freed from V Tower but wants to leave with Homelander's blood on her hands
>Homelander finally breaks Queen Maeve's neck
>Homelander, and Black Noir go against Butcher and Soldier Boy
>Butcher wants to take Soldier Boy to find Homelander's secret son to finally kill Homelander
Why would he get a moustache if he's drinking from a baby bottle?
the character seems very popular, i would not be surprised if they tried to redeem him just so that they can keep milking the franchise
Highly doubt it. It’s clear in each episode he’s becoming crazier than the last, not sure how him meeting his dad will affect him but by how season 3 has been going with him it ain’t going to be pretty.
>Homelander and Soldier Boy meet after they realize they are son and father
>Butcher realises that Soldier Boy might turn and tries to get a permanent Compound V solution to combat them, further speeding his death or making him a permanent supe
>If he takes Temp Compound V, he might die, so he bites the bullet and takes the permanent Compound V
>His main power is durability to superhuman attack; the same thing that kills him keeps him alive
>Homelander needs a father figure because he is his own bully
>Soldier Boy is a poor father figure and treats him like the mean reflection Homelander treats himself
>Soldier Boy wants to fight Homelander to see who is strongest
>Hugie and Starlight try to free Queen Maeve from the secret location
>Starlight buts heads with Butcher because Hugie almost dies from Temp Compound V
Soldier Boy depowers him, but doesn't kill him because he's his son. Season 4 is about Homelander trying to survive everyone he's terrorized and hurt coming after him.
Broken and depowered.
Hey what time is the new episode
Like midnight eastern time
Homelander will turn out to be the lesser of two evils
Butcher will EXTREMELY reluctantly help Homelander and MM kill Soldier Boy.
The intern turned CEO will take full control of Vought while Homelander either recovers or retires. Stan will come back and puppet her. He'll also crush his surrogate daughter and she'll be arrested
Despite the creators trying their hardest to make the audience hate him, I'm still team Soldier Boy. I'm not downplaying the straight up physical and mental abuse he was dishing out to Payback, but it still doesn't change the fact they took their shot. Rather than quit and try something else, they decided to straight up murder Soldier Boy. Or if not murder, then hand him over to be torn apart like a lab rat. While misguided, Soldier Boy genuinely thought of his teammates as well...teammates. He wasn't a good guy, but he was genuine as twisted as it sounds.
I think the things they've shown have been purposefully light in comparison to homelander so the audience is on the same wavelength as butcher. I bet during the fight or just before he'll talk about his plans and they'll basically amount to full on conquest or slaughter. That or he'll just lose control from the PTSD and will need to be taken down to save whatever/whoever.
It would be cool to have a scene where Butcher has to decide who to help kill whom between homelander and soldier boy, with the audience having the same conflict
>Soldier Boy genuinely thought of his teammates as well...teammates.
He clearly didn't you moron, you're falling for the halo effect
Payback to him were mostly tools for him to use, or if we are being extremely generous they were privates under his command that were supposed to follow orders without question
Soldier Boys attitude was like a soviet commisar ironically enough
Who hurt you?
>discuss a character
>anon tries to make it personal for some reason
You clearly aren't projecting yourself onto the character, take your meds
>Despite the creators trying their hardest to make the audience hate him
I didn't get that vibe. They were trying to do a toxic masculinity type of thing with Soldier Boy with how he was treated by his father and how that effected his relationship with Payback and then his own son and grandson. That one on one scene with Butcher where they talk about their dads in the finale felt like the writers wanted to make you feel sympathy for SB, even if he was a dick.
It's jarring because they have moments where they'll write Soldier Boy and Homelander as caricatures of Trump or the stereotypical dudebro/racist grandpa but then they also give them nuance and depth. It's more like the writers can't decide whether to go full parody or not like the comics.
I hope Butcher gets a better death than the comics. Hell I hope they abandon any pretense of adhering to Garth's shit and do their own thing.
Frick off. Butcher in the show is shit.
>It's jarring because they have moments where they'll write Soldier Boy and Homelander as caricatures of Trump or the stereotypical dudebro/racist grandpa but then they also give them nuance and depth.
So you hate nuance and want cardboard caricatures?
That's not nuance. That's just fricking confusing. You're mistaking confusing and illogical conflicting motivations for depth.
I was saying the literal opposite. But the show wants to be topical and comedic so the characters get written to be mouthpieces at times. The way Homelander mimicked Trump's mannerisms and cadence in that birthday speech was too on the nose. It'd be different if HL had acted like that from beginning but we're pretty familiar with his personality at this stage in the show. I guess you could make the argument that this is his new public persona after his squeaky clean one fell through but idk.
Well I didn't get Stan right but I called the Homelander fight.
There's no way Homelander stays in charge of Vought publicly after killing a man in broad daylight, and Deep's reputation is in the shitter (not to mention he surely fricked up and left evidence at his murder scene to get blackmailed with). A-train is going to be the leader of the all-new Seven.
Self defense
Nah, that crowd has gone full bloodthirsty and Homelander's there for it.
Homelander killing a man in broad daylight is going to kill his brand and the Seven by association just like Superman killing Zod in Man of steel did for the entire DC franchise. Though I doubt Amazon did that as an intentional reference.
It's up.
>Homelander gets depowered and season ends on Vought doctors telling him he can't take Permanent V due to Soldier Boy's frickery
>Butcher gets powered up fully and learns it's a death sentence causing him to be labeled by Vought as the world's first super villain
>Hughie and Starlight retire but go their separate ways
>Soldier Boy is approached by Mallory to become Homerlander's son's mentor/caretaker to make amends but really because she's now frightened of Super Butcher.
>MM joins the Superhero Bureau and starts the case on Butcher
>Edgar installs a puppet CEO and lets the Senator know in his dumb way Homelander gave her daughter V so experimental she could die unless she let Vought take her in
>Brainwashed Maeve leads the new Seven, announces Senator's daughter is her new ward Princess Dontfrickwithedgar
Wow, everyone was so off. He literally got all he wanted
A Got milk ad. Takes me back to when I was a kid seeing all those got milk ads with whatever superhero movie was coming out between 2008-2010
Same as Superman.
Homelander did nothing wrong
This show is crude, ugly, and stupid, and I'm tired of superhero deconstructions. Leftists cannot cannot create originality or beauty, they can only pervert, bring down, and destroy.
My bet is ryan will accidently or intentionally kill him somehow in the next season. The final plot thread will basically be that Its only a matter of time until compound V accidently creates a superhuman so powerful they could destroy the world, even accidentally.
If soldier boy is a walking bomb, and he had a kid homelander style then he would probably be a walking nuke.
I feel like they need to bring the government and Vought back into the story more and increase the stakes in a way that isn't just "oh no Homelander is on the verge of going nuclear" because that's been overplayed. Now that Mallory has Soldier Boy I could see him being an asset they can use against Homelander maybe. And I'm sure Neuman will be cooking up some dictatorial shit if Homelander isn't so one way or another I think we will end up with some kind of showdown at the White House like in the comics.
The one thing I'd like to see though even if dumbs the show down a little is an actual supervillain or something close to one. Or just any kind of external threat that would force HL to be an actual hero or even team up with the Boys. You know like Cap and Tony having reconcile to deal with Thanos or Superman and Batman forming a temporary alliance to stop Braniac in Injustice 2. A reality warping supe would do the trick but the show might be too cheap to go for that.
>Muh comics
Nah frick that
