Anthony Starr: NOOO STOP ENJOYING THE SHOW WRONG!!

He never told you to stop anything. He's just calling you a moron.

wanting to keep fit and healthy whilst not being a goverment slop slave and calling out whores for being whores is le incel behaviour an

Fuck off mate and go watch your netflix flicksq

Who cares? The comic is better

b-but Homelander

Much better as a schizo idiot who gets a reality check the moment he tries to take over the gov.

b-but S-Soldier Boy

Peepee pants lolololol

b-but they don't need le serum...where is le tension?

The Boys in the show survive supes thanks to literal plot armor. They barely use their brains. Is that le tension for you? Lmao.

did that character that has been in stasis for 40 years really just make a heckin' racism!!!!!!!!!!!

I like that the more the show pushes an agenda the more it gets mocked and that the most beloved characters are some flavor of "right wing incel".

I'm not trying to change your behavior

I'm just ridiculing you until you do what I want

see insecure immature men who acts on their emotions

idolize them

I don't get it. Why can't zoomers idolize characters like Rocky instead of psychopathic manchildren ?

How the fuck were we NOT supposed to root for Homelander in this scene?

Protestors are allowed to assault your child a little bit, as a treat?

It's a subversive way of coping with their introversion. That's the whole appeal of the sigma male. While the traditional alpha male is extroverted and socially successful, the (fictitious) sigma male passes his social awkwardness and instabilities off as "cool" and "badass"

Oh no, not the bulletproof invincible child! He can't survive an accidental water bottle throw!

Don't fuck with peoples children. You won't get lasered

This is the guy who starts fights in bars btw. What a piece of shit.

All the other characters are whiny ugly unlikeable jerks. Homey is at least honest with himself about being a bastard and not some holier-than-thou hypocrite. People would rather watch a villain having fun than a hero whinging and accomplishing nothing.

Actually, it was worse than that, he beat up a waiter at a restaurant.

Homelander is the only one who actually does anything anymore, Why should I root for anyone else?

This is just more of the retarded "toxic masculinity" narrative at work. Nobody thinks Homelander is a example of how you should think or live your life. That's not what's going on. He's just the only enjoyable character on the show.

Dude is basically superman, if superman had grown up without the values his farmer foster parents instilled in him and instead was tortured and treated like shit.
He's still human.

a joke character who gets his ass beat by everyone by everyone

Totally wrong. The problem with Homelander is that he's so strong the writers constantly have to do retarded things to explain why he hasn't killed everybody yet. In one episode Homelander can hear a woman's heart beating from through several concrete walls, then in the same episode Homelander somehow can't hear Hughie crawling around in a metal air vent just above his head.

People like Homelander because Starr plays him so well. He's by far the best character in the show and his inevitable barbaric and humiliating death will suck shit.

The thing is that Starr and his character are the only reason to watch the show. Everything else is so unfathomably awful when he's not on screen.

Why wouldnt people like Homelander? The alternative is rooting for fucking Huey lmao

Tony is the protagonist and central character in the Sopranos. Homelander is a prominent side character in The Boys. Homelander is a caricature and Tony is a fleshed out person.
That said you’re right that the “media literacy” shit is absurd in these shows. Tony does evil but also plenty of redemptive things, he’s shown to have a morality and is clearly not just a sociopath as even the show insists. More than that if these people were confronted with a book like Zombie or a film like Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer they wouldn’t know what to do with themselves.
When showrunners write sympathetic complexity into a character like Homelander (himself being the product of child experimentation and abuse), as if to explain why he does evil they later don’t want to deal with the consequences of that and act like people should see the characters as unredeemable and unrepentantly evil. Usually the writing crowd are the same people who believe in less punishment and more rehabilitation politically so it really makes no fucking sense at all.

Write these evil characters as actually unredeemably evil then. Take the consequence of people turning the show off on the chin. Stop trying to flirt with complexity only to retreat to “erm he’s Hitler btw”.
The audience isn’t wrong. You are.

the same people who like homelander are the ones who think skyler white was a bad person

shitlibs want you to root for the pathetic loser who's girlfriend aborted his kid instead of the perfect specimen of a man who did a heckin racism

Checks out.

average homelander worshipper

as long as it was a hollywood restaurant i'm fine with this

It was in Spain.

actor trying anything to stay relevant

where have i seen that one before?

I tried to watch this show and it's not possible. You have to be a mentally ill faggot with a brain fried from weed and antidepressants to ''enjoy'' this retarded slop.
Everything you hear about this show and how cool it is and how Homelander is this badass that the right loves, all of it is complete false.
The show isn't about some cool superhero who doesn't give a shit. The show is about some soi face nepobaby being a silly bitch and trying to launch his comedy career while lolsorandom XD things happen, and then maybe you'll get a scene or two of Homelander being pathetic and crying that babies get to drink breast milk.
Everything about this show is repulsive. It's such badly written slop written by idiots. The show lacks any kind of subtlety and not a single person read the script and fixed anything before filming.
Characters are comically retarded but it's not actually funny.

All this ''wow right wingers love Homelander'' shit is obviously just a psyop to get people to watch this show. They tricked a demographic that has no shows made for to watch this slop.

You say that like it's a bad thing? I'm just glad The Boys woke ass cast hates the show even more than we do. Libtards will always be miserable.

That's how my grandpa died.

It's the most egregiously Jewish show ever produced.

while lolsorandom XD things happen

I'm not the biggest fan of The Boys, but you need to stop criticizing things if this is the level of your analytical ability. Your post was painful to read.

I hope your suicide will be even more painful.

The heroes of the show are dull as dishwater so no wonder why everyone roots for the villains.
I actually liked Hughie’s season one arc of putting aside his capeshit obsession and becoming an adult. But season two reset him to the screeching pussy he would remain for the rest of the series. Because you can’t show positive growth for a straight white male!

Usually the writing crowd are the same people who believe in less punishment and more rehabilitation politically so it really makes no fucking sense at all.

Its funny because Vought is ultimately responsible for giving Homelander his powers and mindfucking him past the point of insanity, yet the audience is supposed to cheer when Gus Fring, an executive of the company, owns Homelander verbally for being an immature crybaby. It's madness.

How mentally ill do you have to be to like anything about that faggot in season 1 or any season? Every line out of his mouth is obnoxious. The guy is such an obvious nepobaby who can't act. The character has two modes, snarky nepobaby wannabe comedian delivering his lines like he is auditioning and for Rick and Morty and close up on his face breathing fast ''I AM ACTING'' panic attack.
What the fuck was his arc

damn, my girlfriend got killed by a hero and it got reported on the news and everyone knows

I got to expose them all now, the world has to know that he killed my girlfriend because no other character is going to bring this up ever again, like it never happened

oh cool, they just have this building where all the heroes do illegal and immoral activities, I can just walk in and take the camera recordings

oh wait, I'll just give up and hang out with this woman who is part of the evil heroes I hate so much yet I don't recognize her at all

BAZINGA

I looked up Jack Quaid and first result is a FAQ of ''Is Jack Quaid a nepobaby?'' and the answer is yes

yet the audience is supposed to cheer when Gus Fring, an executive of the company, owns Homelander verbally for being an immature crybaby

Yes because it's a heckin black man getting one over on the embodiment of white supremacy.

Homelander hasn't really done anything that bad and it's clearly explained that he couldn't save the people in the plane. Billy, Starlight and Frenchie have murdered completely innocent people and are all objectively much worse.

from my point of view, you and starr are the real morons.

Is beaten up and restrained by Butcher, Hughie and Soldier Boy and has to run away

Is beaten up by Maeve who draws blood

Everyone is terrified of him but whenever he gets in a fight with a supe they're basically on an equal playing field. He's pathetically weak given his reputation

Typical The Goys troons hallucinating a better show that only exists in his mind.
I watched the first season and what the ''fans'' say literally doesn't happen. Homelander lets the plane crash because he is cartoonishly evil for no reason. There is zero nuance or reasoning or alternative explanation.
These faggots are writing fanfiction making up a much better show baiting people into watching the inferior show and getting disappointed.

How exactly do you think he's going to save the people in the plane? Homelander explicitly says he couldn't save them and you can't just lift a 747 from a single point and carry it to the ground.

To be fair, the show did an AWFUL job at making The Boys interesting or engaging.

It’s their own fault for making the main protagonists so lame that people would rather relate to the charismatic MAGA villain.

Billy Butcher is suppose to be badass and instead he’s a useless cuck.

Unironically this.

This twist with Black Noir in the comics was much better than everything they did in the show.

Comic Homelander is less deranged than tv one.

You are mentally ill.
I've read this headcanon countless times before I decided to check out the show. Only by watching the first season I found out that you kept out the part where Homelander deliberately crashes the plane and refuses to save anyone. He melts the entire cockpit and then laughs and shrugs, and does the evil bad guy ''I am le evil'' stare while telling his partner to let everyone die.

If the show was the way you say it is, it may actually be good.
I fucking wish this was a show where Homelander wanted to save the people but realized it's not possible and had to make the hard decision to let them all die so no one on the plane can tell what happened. That's not in the show. That's in your mentally ill brain. Literally not what happened in the show.

Evil Superman sucks and is only for fags and losers.

actor is a midwit

That's why they're actors.

He melts the entire cockpit and then laughs and shrugs, and does the evil bad guy ''I am le evil'' stare while telling his partner to let everyone die.

They were already all going to die and he was arguing with Maeve because he knew none of them could save them all. Him and Maeve argue about this multiple times in the show and he always reiterates that they couldn't save them. How exactly do you think he could save them? Maeve and the other retard can't even fly.

Mentally ill freak just completely blocks out the part where homelander caused the crash in the first place and did it on purpose because he is evil and does this shit all the time.
You can see your delusional brain just skip over it like there is just missing footage between homelander arriving at the airplane and them arguing whether or not they can save anyone.
Homelander killed them all for no reason and didn't even put an effort into coming up with a fake reason why he did this and why he can't save them.
You've put more effort into trying to explain why he didn't save them in this post than homelander did in that entire scene.
He could have landed the plane. He could have carried the passengers out. He could have not destroyed the plane in the first place.
Also saying ''n-no...he couldn't do that...'' isn't an argument. There is no reason why he couldn't land the plane. There is no reason why he couldn't use his super speed to carry the passengers out.

did it on purpose because he is evil and does this shit all the time

You have absolutely no evidence that he did it on purpose. It was clearly a careless accident and Homelander has no business being placed in these situations by a bunch of retarded boomers.

He could have carried the passengers out

Maeve suggests this and he implies it's retarded for obvious reasons. How fast would he have to go to even get a few of them out? He'd have to accelerate and decelerate so gradually for a human to have any chance of surviving that he could probably only make one or two trips before the plane has crashed.

i dont think he did it on purpose, i think he was just an untrained idiot and ended up lasering the cockpit. everything after that moment is intentional but he was legitimately trying to save the plane at first

homelander is a poor victim! he shouldn't be doing this, he is too stupid to know what happens to planes when he melts them with lasers (destroyed a plane in episode 1 with lasers btw)

but also homelander is so smart he just knows everything and he is an expert on saving lives and landing planes, of course he knows he can't save anyone

selective retardation
In just one post Homelander went from a retard who can't be blamed for his actions to a supergenius who made the correct decision

He was cooler when he was just in Banshee & nowhere near nerdbait culture war bullshit. He can't handle it & should just ignore it but no

I'd be more surprised that anyone was still watching this after season 2 if I was him.

kek actually based. but kimiko is hot so i have to keep watching :-(

It's obvious to everyone that isn't a complete retard that Homelander can't make 123 trips back and forth to carry everyone to the ground from a plane that is going to crash in twenty seconds. He even says it to Maeve. You might actually be too dumb for this shit show.

More mentally ill retardation. The show makes it very clear that homelander is just evil and didn't want to save them because this is a badly written slop show for idiots like (You). It's not even implied in the show that homelander has any reasoning for why he can't save them. It's clear for anyone who isn't an autistic retard that the show didn't even attempt to put any ambiguity in the show. You can just watch the scene. He killed everyone on that plane because the show needs a bad guy. That's the scene. The only confusing thing about the scene is that they portrayed this as the big point where you realize homelander may not be a good guy when every scene before that he is just evil and already destroyed another plane. That part was confusing, like this was the big reveal. But now I see why they did it like this, because (You) are the audience. Watching homelander destroy two planes and kill everyone was too subtle.

i think he was just an untrained idiot and ended up lasering the cockpit

This. The whole point of Homelander is that he's a massively impulsive fuckup with trauma issues and zero emotional intelligence. The biggest problem with the show is that the "good guys" are even worse and have far less justification for their behavior. They're also played by worse actors/actresses and are far less interesting.

It's funny that the actors and the people behind the show only start saying stuff like this when the show goes to absolute shit. Nothing was being said like this when season 1 aired because it was good and people liked it.

Then it went to shit further on so the insecure actors and faggot showrunners start crying at literally everything and anything and make things up.

im not even thinking about anything watching a decent season 1 of a show that has a cool character and a good actor. im just enjoying watching it. im not thinking about politics or anything.

so tiresome.

After Homelander accidently fried the cockpit controls because the terrorist shot the pilot in the head, how exactly was Homelander supposed to save them?

that's what makes me laugh, people saying "omg homelander is a monster". he's barely fucking done anything for 4 seasons

just let people think they can assault someone with no repercussions

it's fags like you which is the reason this planets doomed.

Hollywood doesn't understand it.

Maleficent

what if the literal satan lady was actually pseudo-rape victim of Aurora's father (who is the villain)?

Cruel Devil

what if the dalmatians were just bigoted towards her and there was someone who is more cruel than her?
I'm surprised the didn't turn Snow White's step mother into mistunderstood person

Who cares? The comic is better

This right here, just read the comic and don't bother watching the fan fiction version of the show.

If Homelander was a woman we would be allowed to like her

He wanted to save every one of the passengers, that was his main objective. Obviously that would have looked the best and been the best thing for his image.

When he realized he wouldn't be able to save 100% of the passengers, he decided it would look better for him if he said he didn't get there in time.

Why do people like the best character in the series

Its a real head scratcher

You are a retard.

just carry them to the ground bro

that leaves Homelander approximately 0.16 seconds per passenger

somehow liberals think this is possible without each passenger being turned into paste

We’re heading right back into the soulless yuppie era. Being vain and self obsessed is seen as cool now, like it was back in the 80s.

Who the fuck is still watching this for a reason other than Homelander?

It's stupid I'm supposed to hate him. I'd be 1000x worse if I had his powers and his upbringing. It's a wonder he doesn't go around nuking every city on Earth. Instead the guy has killed a few dozen people and stood fairly in democratic elections. And he cares about his son. What exactly am I supposed to hate?

best character in the series

That's Soldier Boy but HL is a close second.

We made the villain 100x more enjoyable to watch than the protagonists and the audience likes him. How could this be happening to us??

I had a good upbringing and I'd be way worse.

Modern writers are in a bit of a catch 22. Write one dimensional good/evil characters and you’ll get shit on for being a bad writer. Write complex characters who are bad people with redeeming qualities and you might get accused of glorifying the bad behaviour or sympathising with it. So what do you do? You write complex characters, then loudly decry anybody who looks at them in a remotely positive light.

Being vain and self obsessed is seen as cool now, like it was back in the 80s.

Feminine men are never cool, anon. A self-obsessed man is not a man.

The Boys fans are braindead retards

Yeah, we know

So was I supposed to think it was evil when he got revenge on the people that literally tortured him as a kid?

All that does is hurt him.

I like homelander, he's my favorite character in The Boys and the only reason the show is worth watching.
But somehow people (read: women) can't separate liking with self-identifying as a character.

Homelander's a great character to empathize with because he's the way he is because of his upbringing and isn't just "he's evil because he's evil."

TPBP

t. The Plutonian

oh fuck off, revenge on the people that hurt you is the only thing that even approaches alleviating the pain

um ackshully if you empathize with him it's because you don't have da media lichrasea

He's the villain and will lose kek

This. The carjacking murderer Starlight will win.

He did it with butcher

I stopped watching this slop after the first season, but from what I saw Homelander was the only interesting character

I want to fucking behead garth innis, michael moorecuck, alan moore before raping their neckhole, and erase their prescence from history
Then world will be better place

I only watch the boys for sigma homelander and soldier boy moments
and for she

It's the fucking main character ffs

Tell that to all the roided zoomers and their retarded morning routines.

No it’s more like

I'm not trying to change your behavior

I'm just going to ridicule you for it

Big difference, buddy.

N one admires Homelander as a character. They just like his portrayal from Starr. Of course, idiots can't into nuance.

you know actors get paid to lie and make believe right? anyone with half a brain knows why homelander appeals to a certain subset of the population. he's anti-establishment, just like you-know-who. anthony starr is not retarded. he knows his handlers and he knows what his talking points are.
glad i dropped this show i feel like i have missed nothing not watching the last season. it was always puerile and juvenile, but they just had to make it so irredeemable, it's a wonder anyone watches this shit. imagine my jowels shaking while i saw "absolutely reprehensible" that is how i feel about this dumb show.
it coarsens the discourse.

Homelander isn't a real person. I don't know why these people aren't able to separate fact from fiction. In real life, you'd likely dislike Homelander, but in a TV show, his character is entertaining and compelling which keeps you, as the viewer, engaged. Liking Homelander, the character, does not mean you'd like him in your real life, retards.

a superman who murders randoms and has a huge cult of personality would be utterly terrifying to grapple with in the real world. it's like knowing the mullahs have nukes. anything could happen.

Just behead moorcuck and moore and force ennis into a contract where he has to to keep writing war comics and can't write about how butthurt he is that capeshit dominates the medium.

People root for homelander?

Not root for, but sympathise with because he's an interesting character.
Plus all the "good guys" are the exact same murderous edgelords with superiority complexes anyway, the only difference is they wear trenchcoats instead of spandex.

she is easily the best part of the show, but not able to do enough to save it.

realize people might actually like Soldier Boy because throughout the entire season he doesn't do a single thing wrong

instead of figuring this out during redrafting (which they obviously didn't do) they just get one of the characters to call him racist despite zero evidence of this existing (and plenty of evidence to suggest he's not racist at all)

PROBLEM SOLVED HE'S EVIL NOW

I get that, Starr's performance is really great but every time this discussion come up it's like there's a war between people screaming that you're not supposed to "like" him and people who actually do, which I don't understand

I mean, SB probably was racist but not intentionally so. The dude is a white guy born in the 20s, plust the whole racial profiling or whatever.
What pisses me off about the character isn't that he was "racist" but that the entire plot was so fucking retarded and contrived because they couldn't just let SB depower homelander and end the show so suddenly everyone turns on him.
Soldier boy is an INFINITELY preferable alternative to homelander, just put his ass in some mansion with an infinite supply of weed and granny hookers and you'll have no problems with him, meanwhile homelander is plotting on world domination

Skyler White was a bad person though

My husband just got diagnosed with terminal lung cancer

He is acting a bit strangely after this diagnosis

BETTER SMOKE WHILE PREGNANT

EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY HAVE ONE KID WITH CEREBRAL PALSY

FUTURE BABY CAN EAT SHIT, ENJOY THIS NICOTINE LMAO

No, at that point she had no fucking idea that Walt was a drug manufacturer. All she knew is "Walt has been acting differently ever since he got a terminal cancer diagnosis"
Sure, she was nowhere near as bad a person as Walt, but that doesn't make her a good person

The thing is, there's nothing to even support the "unintentionally racist" part - there's no scene where he sees a black guy in a suit and assumes he's a valet or waiter or something just because he's black
There's no scene where he says a black guy is "one of the good ones"
Hell, he says Bill Cosby is "America's Dad" and a man everyone can look up to which is played off as a joke because of the date rape accusations that he wouldn't have known about (having been frozen for several decades)

Hell, when MM calls him racist, Soldier Boy looks genuinely confused like "where the fuck did that come from?"

Mm, yeah probably.
I mainly assumed it due to the guy being from the 40s or whatever.

It's clear that the writers were going for the racism thing though, him busting reefer smokers and all that.

What I mean to say, to the liberal writers of the show he was supposed to be a racist dude who isn't openly racist but has some old fashioned assumptions, if you get me.

The problem is that they failed to get their message across

Tony Soprano did nothing wrong

Vic Mackey did nothing wrong

Walter White did nothing wrong

Homelander did nothing wrong

The American Psycho director I can buy being out of touch enough to be confused that people find Bateman inspring. But you can’t tell me Antony Starr doesn’t understand the appeal of being able to physically rip anyone who slightly annoys you to pieces like it was tearing up a sheet of notebook paper.

It's because Jensen Ackles refused to say racist shit to spoil his image. So in-universe the character is clearly racist; we the audience simply never see it. The most racist thing he does is being mentioned to have hosed protesters during the civil rights movement, and when he makes a racial remark to Black Noir in a flashback ("move on up", reference to the Jeffersons, clearly meant to be racist if you know the context but it's very subtle and relatively niche)

this guy threw a water bottle at my invincible son so he needs to die

Nigger chimp behavior

Homelander did nothing wrong

He is factually a better person here than in the actual comics. After what he has been through, he still shows restraint.
Sadly the show is GAY as fuck to the point it is more about gross gay porn.

raped Butcher's wife

created terrorists and got tons of people killed

murdered that blind supe for literally no reason

murdered three of his biggest fans for a false flag attack

DYEWTS?

He doesn't, he could but he doesn't always do it. The only good parts of the story involving Homelander restraining himself and still finding ways to carry out his plans, while everyone else is scared shitless of him and try to outmaneuver him within these margins because there is nothing they can do to him outside damaging his reputation and interest and even then Homelander has managed to outsmart them.

He is more of an almighty serial killer than an almighty mass murderer.

>murdered that blind supe for literally no reason

Possibly the only instance where the show carries the hatred the original series has for superheroes. Instead of playing the blind fighter trope, they just kill Daredevil because fuck blind people and anyone who thinks they would be good at anything.

Skyler was the source of the unfulfilling gay life that Walter led and therefore shares responsibility for everything that happened.

there's a war between people screaming that you're not supposed to "like" him and people who actually do

Where do you think you are?

No one actually admires Homelander. They like Homelander more than the other characters because the other characters are all portrayed as fucking faggots.

I think the reason they never showed SB or Stormfront actually being racist is because Amazon knows how memes work. If SB ever said something like “Get back on the plantation, you fucking nigger”, the GIF would spread like wildfire. The day the episode aired it would be all over social media, being used by actual racists. It’s also why Stormfront never says anything harsher than “That yellow bastard”.
