What do you call this phenomenon where the villain is more likable and better written than the main characters?

it's called "you're an incel"
Go Back to your Discord and dilate
you will never be a woman
It's called an uneducated audience with a perpetual victim complex

Antihero?
World War II films
he's not better written, the actor is just more likeable than most of the characters
He is absolutely more developed than MM, Frenchie, and Butcher at the very least.
villains are allowed to have a personality so they end up being more likeable than the safe and shallow main characters.
exactly this
they're also allowed to have relatable flaws
>relatable flaws
The perception of such is called “mental moronation” and the actuality of such is called an “antivillain”.
It's pretty amazing that when liberals self insert they're so annoying and uncharismatic that people genuinely prefer a guy who runs around killing random people constantly for no reason.
He has a reason. It's just that a Hero would do shit for the greater good, Homelander does it for self-gain. At least in S1, I barley remember S2.
that's also real life
Shonen
It's called "The Drumpf" or "The Alt Right" or "The People Who Vote Against Their Own Self Interest" or "Chudaism"
IF YOU'RE IDOLIZING HIM YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG
Villains are more interesting, because they have far fewer restrictions placed up them (they can't say Black person, so it's not like they don't have any restrictions at all). There's just so much more room to explore.
And who is the hero? The hero is always some dogmatic shithead that defends the status quo no matter what. Modern James Bond is a great example, because even though MI5 calls him a sexist pig, and the streets are filling up with stabby migrants, James still risks his life to ensure that the system remains intact. Alec Trevelyan and Silva are versions of James Bond that are more realistic and interesting, because they both realized that Britain had betrayed them, and they both turned on it.
Funnily enough in the beginning The Boys were pretty much all misfits with tons of baggage outside of Hughie who started to come down to their level.
Then something happened and all the edge they had went away. Maybe not for Kimiko, she still just murders and smiles while doing it.
>misfits
The first 2 seasons did edgy super heroes way better
when i watched that show i had no fricking idea what the girl on the right was saying
Same friend but that burd is a right proper slampig tho
You aren't supposed to like him. Same with The Joker, Tyler Durden, Holden Caulfield, etc.

Carried by Marc Alaimo so hard the writers had to pull the most moronic plot twist to make him unlikable.
>You aren't supposed to like him
Then you shouldn't make him likable
"bad writing"
If the villain is more interesting it means the writer failed to write compelling heroes and anti-heroes with interesting motives and backstories. It's easy to make a villain interesting, it's much harder to make the hero charismatic.
Incompetent israeli writer syndrome.

You’ll hear foxtail buttplugs en-masse exploding out of manussies coast to coast as the ripples spread through the discord queer community and size XXXXXXXXL Sailor Moon outfits pop at the seams as their hairy knuckled wearers waddle from the couch to the programming desk to coordinate a response. Never stop being yourselves you glorious morons, your reliability and predictability bring joy to all who come to laugh at you hereabouts.
Troons/libshits are so sick in the head that the portrayal of what they hate resonates more with the average person that their moronic ideals.
Because writers think protagonists have to be "good" and being "good" means not having flaws, which makes them boring.
Hollywoodism.
They could actually save the show and make it interesting if they had butcher stop being a cuck and continue his mission to kill every last supe. It would be even better if the ending was him succeeding although Amazon won’t do that because they want to make endless spin offs.
His whole character and motivation are shit anyway
>Homelander allegedly rapes and kills his wife (but not really)
>targets and kills superheros who aren't homelander
The whole series is a clown show of terrible wrting.
This guy, Joe blake's dad, kido, and based minister were the reasons to watch man in the high castle for those first two glorious season. Then it went to total dog shit. They should write papers on how to make unlikable protagonists from man in the high castle. All the protagonists were pants on head moronic and awful to slog through.
ironic
I wish this guy would just kill Frenchie and kimiko already
Soldier boy and homelander are the best characters. The rest are pretty forgettable
its called having no b***hes
because the villains are the only competent straight white men in fiction these days
I legit am rooting for Homelander
