Why are we pretending he did nothing wrong? This guy abused his team and killed dozens with his lasers with no remorse, he was never meant to be unironically good, is this some cope against redditards who think they owned le cons?
Why are we pretending he did nothing wrong?
If you took the 'did nothing wrong' meme seriously, that's on you.
He is not a potentially civilization ending threat.
He also doesn't hold dangerous superiority complex that could radicalize a huge proportion of the population and the superhero community.
>He also doesn't hold dangerous superiority complex
Doesn't he bash Noir's brains in for wanting to be in Beverly Hills Cop? He even said something about Noir "trying to move on up". Lol.
He’s a bad person but the show was moronic for acting like Homelander wasn’t objectively 100 times worse
Ah, well yeah Homelander was worse big time. Soldier Boy was a piece of shit and a murderer that blew a priest and nun's brains out for no reason. I think they're both equally terrible people, but Homelander is more dangerous purely because he has tantrums with those powers, where Soldier Boy just acts like a piece of shit.
>No reason
Dog he was right. It's scary that he's willing to do it, but he was right.
He was right though. The more fricked up part of the nun and priest is how he was cracking a joke while they were lying dead on the ground.
Noir should had stopped being a boot licker. His fellow hoodrats would had been disappointed in him.
Soldier Boy is a garbage person, but the difference is that Homelander is pretty much destined to cause ridiculous amounts of death and damage.
No one is saying that SB is a sweet boy, it’s that Homelander is a global threat and Butcher screwed up.
He has a superiority complex and wants to be top dog. But he still seems to see himself as human. Look at how he brags about fricking movie stars. His superiority complex makes him a shitty person, but it doesn't make him a threat to human civilization.
At the end of the day he was an abusive guy to his team, in the past, but nothing we saw him actually do was that bad. Getting revenge on payback seemed pretty fair, and I'm not going to hold his PTSD freakout against him.
This. He was given V as a young adult and therefore still sees himself as part of the human race.
Homelander was born the way he was and views everyone else, aside from Ryan, beneath him.
If you think that Noir would have been a
better a Axel Foley than Eddie Murphy then you deserve to get beat up.
Isn't the point of this show that most supes are egotistical jerks? Noir selectively remembering parts out of these situations until he's 100% the victim makes sense to me... but the writers probably aren't that clever.
Yeah, I'm not saying Noir was good or innocent in any way. I'm just saying it's not a stretch to believe Soldier Boy bashed his brains in out of control and pride. He was bad enough for the entire team other than Gunpowder to betray him.
>He is not a potentially civilization ending threat.
He's just as strong/tough as Homelander and has far more destructive power.
His only down sides is he can't fly, isn't as fast, and takes some time to charge up compared to the eye lasers.
Homelander is still the biggest threat with how close he is to the edge but Soldier Boy has more power in him. Not to mention his ability to render any supe, the only thing that can stop either of them, completely powerless.
Yes but you see how he was able to be subdued with the gas not to mention a nuke, that he can't scape unlike Homelander, will obliterate him.
All of those PTSD induced death shouldn't be put against him as he was tortured for decades by evil organizations like vought, the USA government and the USSR/Russia.
No person should deserve to go throw what he went through either and he is being put in permanent coma because the USA government wants to have him as a potential back up against homelander and or are unwilling to nuke him to test his resilience.
As a human being he should have unalienable rights too.
I think the point is that Soldier Boy can be negotiated with and be relatively reasonable. Homelander is just a sociopath. Most supes are average shitheads with powers, which is bad but not quite as existentially horrifying as Homelander.
keep coping
I know you will, because you lost
But he can bust rhymes really well, so that absolves him of all wrongdoing
I'm surprised this has more views than anything else on their channel
Black person, what is wrong with you?
just watched the last episode. everything was a clusterfrick and not clear cut at all.
Remember the PSA
>and killed dozens with his lasers with no remorse,
Starlight legit murdered a guy to steal his car and brushed it off, a guy who actually sticks to his ideals and word is unironically the most "Good" person in the entire show.
You know, like comic butcher, as opposed to tv butcher.
The only objectively "good" people in the show die. Like Supersonic. Idealism gets you killed in this world.
Besides his team and the two brain washed people , did he kill anyone else intentionally?
He couldn't control the blast
Nope. The extent of Soldier Boy's malice extends to killing a bunch of murderers Punisher style, and mercy killing two mind controlled zombies.
>Homelander is far stronger where it took Maeve, Solider Boy and temp V Butcher to restrain him
>Couldn't have just killed Homelander first then dealt with Solider Boy
>If Hughie hadn't been a cuck and took the V he could have teleported the kid out of there easily
temporary V puts holes in your brain. Hughie couldn't take any more without risking his own life. Also they had no idea Ryan was going to be there. Homelander surprised everyone by finding him and bringing him.
>couldn't take any more without risking his own life.
Your right, I forgot he's too pussy to do what I takes to defeat Homelander.
>Why are we pretending he did nothing wrong?
His didn't deserve the treatment he got from other characters in the series, it's disproportionate.
Soldier Boy is a normal person in general.
>redditards who think they owned le cons
Everyone likes Soldier Boy, even redditors, there's not a single demographic that dislikes him.
The contrarian thing is to dislike Soldier Boy.
>he's not as bad as the bad guy, thus he's good
Nobody is saying that brainlet.
>he's not as bad as the bad guy, thus he's good
No one said he's good. We're saying he's "acceptable", and it didn't make sense to backstab him in favor of Homelander, who is an unhinged psychopath.
There are tons of normal people like Soldier Boy.
It's not that he did nothing wrong, it's the fact that he is way less bad than Homelander. There is no scenario where they should have prioritized him over Homelander, who is a far more immediate danger to everyone in the world.
It's not even just Homelander. He's better than Deep. He's better than A-Train. He's better than Translucent. He's better than pretty much every other supe. He's not going around hurting innocents intentionally, or laughing at unintentional killings.
He only hurts people who cross him. And even when you do pick a fight with him, like MM did, he's good enough to let shit go like it's not even worth it.
Deep got #metoo'd over consensual sex and Translucent did nothing but look at women in a bathroom.
low quality bait
I was hoping that Deep would have a redemption arc or just continue being the comic relief but it sounds like he and A-Train are now Homelander's Bebop and Rocksteady.
