Yes. As an invincible super powered psychopath who eye lasers people on the regular, I'm glad hollywood finally put a character I can relate to.
No and the producers were seething that people unironically like Homelander. They've tried to make him a b***h and I am sure they'll pull out all the stops to kill any fanbase he has by making him suck a bunch of penises in the final season or something.
I don’t sympathize with his actions, but as someone with autism, I can heavily relate to his attitudes and internal feelings.

They do this with every villain character they ostensibly try to make dislikable by giving them traits they think are bad but people they don't like think are good.
Wow easy there, they will commit the same mistake than The Man In The High Castle where they accidentally made the Nazi too likeable they had to backpedal hard at the end, making the villains ultra cartoon moronic very abruptly. Expect future seasons to start sucking because of this.
They tried too hard from the beginning. Putting that weird grey filter over the scenes in Nazi America so it would look bleak. But then they had to be honest and show things like no one locking their doors because it's safe, happy families, etc

>No dissent >No genetic failures >Clean streets and efficient government
I don't get what you're implying. Are you implying every human has a right to life? And that we should operate less effective governments that entertain ideas divergent from their own? Because the US has neither of those things, and neither does most of the free world.
party watches your every move and any dissent is immediately and harshly dealt with
that's real life. Only difference is that nearly everyone will cuss politicians but do absolutely nothing about them. Even 50 years ago people used to have more spine
Comic Homelander was a critique of Bush-era Christian conservatism, which was never cool, but show Homelander is supposed to be a criticism of Trump and his movement. At this point, however, Homelander is the only interesting part of the show, just as Trump is the only interesting part of American politics, so people root for him.
Theyve basically used Homelander as a way to give shit to every aspect of the modern right wing in the US. It's actually kind of impressive he's managed to embody it all (with input from a few other characters of course like Soldier Boy and Stormfront) and shift between each one season to season. Of course it isn't perfectly separated and there's a little bit of each throughout all but the seasons clearly had some main focuses:
S1 was criticism of fundies and a bit of bush jingo US which felt pretty dated
S2 was criticism of the alt right and how even 'reasonable, modern conservatives' are either being tricked by neonazis or are crypto Nazis themselves
S3 was critiquing whatever you want to call the neo-masculinity movement/'anti-cancel culture' movement with a fair amount of 'lol can you believe old white men think they have it hard???'.
I still don’t understand what soldier boy did wrong enough they all turned on him. Even as far as slapping payback around they were all murderous morons anyway & even CIA lady didn’t like any of them >Gunpowder shot at his own team on the turret >the TNT twins were sex pests as evidenced by being at herogasm >Crimson Countess was an unreliable junkie >Mindstorm was a literal schizo >Noir was Vought’s own personal obedient zogbot
Big fricking whoop, they needed an butthole to keep them in check. Everything else like the collateral casualties like MM’s family were only ever described from their own perspectives, not soldier boy’s & he seemed remorseful over accidentally nuking civilians so again, did nothing wrong
I didn’t quite get that plot anyway. I think in universe it just kinda makes sense there’s one main hero who keeps all the lesser shit ones in order so it doesn’t become too apparent how vile most of the Supes are. It’s why of all the shit Homelander does his treatment to teammates like A-Train or Deep aren’t really that outta control. Imagine what those two would be doing unsupervised. It’s like a bully who picks on other butthole kids
>Was homelander meant to be relatable?
a man with mommy issues that had no male role models growing up other than comic characters and is the ultimate male power fantasy? Nah, not supposed to be relatable at all
He's supposed to be sympathetic, if he was just >superman but le bad
he'd be boring, you're supposed to realize he was made into a monster by his environment
Yes. He's a sad, broken, insecure person with too much power that snapped and turned into a narcissistic, angry monster. But it's understandable how he ended up that way and there are glimpses of someone who probably did want to be the hero and good guy he is marketed as deep down. The way he wants to be there for his son is the one part of him that betrays a part of him that once could have been good.

watch brightburn next
Yeah to sociopaths, "incels", "conservatives"
I don’t sympathize with his actions, but as someone with autism, I can heavily relate to his attitudes and internal feelings.
For real?
What about libtards, was it the nazi chick from season 2?
Yeah that too

Doesn't he literally have gay sex in the comic with Soldier Boy?
yup
Heh, so you dislike thing? Are you sure you’re not secretly.. THING? So perma highschool, not surprising from theater/rich kids.
They do this with every villain character they ostensibly try to make dislikable by giving them traits they think are bad but people they don't like think are good.
No. He's a Trump analog and Trump is a billionaire with gilded toilets.
none of the other characters are relatable. might as well root for him.

Soljua boy showed up for one season and stole the light from everyone

I don't really see the problem here. Based boy shouldn't have thrown a bottle at his son. Homelander reacted appropriately.
for chuds, yes. i mean hes literally le evil drumpf character that evil racist white men (so basically us) love
Butcher is supposed to be the relatable one for this show's audience.
They literally made Butcher a onions guzzling cuck with that line. Now Soldier Based is now my new personality
I still don’t understand what soldier boy did wrong enough they all turned on him. Even as far as slapping payback around they were all murderous morons anyway & even CIA lady didn’t like any of them

At this point i'm convinced they're in on the jokes.
He reminds me of Oprah's Minge from south park
>Oi ya c**ts we're going to Paris and you're not going to stop us!
I wear a cape
