He actually wanted to be a real hero, both in the comic books and in the show he got pushed beyond his breaking point making him mad, in the comic books it was black noir who committed most of the atrocities homelander is accused of and Homelander even starts disassociating his personality, he gets gaslighted into believing he is a piece of shit, in the show its explained through the last episode of Diabolical that he wanted to save people but messes up causing tons of death and destroction and learns how to shift blame through Noir, if people treated him with respect on the very beginning he could ve changed a lot, don't get me wrong, guy's a psycho, but he could've been good and I always wonder if all he needs is friends and validation
No he's had like 10 nice moments with Ryan when his father Soulja boy attacked Ryan he was extremely concerned for his son who just to check if he was breathing it really freaked him out when Ryan had a panic attack homelander empathized with him this moment and probably several others but typically only with his son is he even slightly normal
Well to be honest you try being the strongest being on the planet and looking at your superpowered son and tell him "it's your fault why becca and stormfront died." Homelander couldnt bring himself to do it no matter how much of a heartless asshole he is to other people
He’s not showing compassion because he means it. He’s showing compassion to manipulate Ryan into liking him which ends up working by the end of the season.
@@willful311he heat vision Lazerd homelander girlfriend trying to save his mother and accidentally killing his mother and severely injured homelanders girlfriend
I think he realizes Ryan has some new bond with Grace and doesn't want to push him away by killing her. He's a very selfish guy at the end of the day. He's better than most parents nowadays. LOL
That short, sweet moment honestly speaks volumes to the hero John could've been had he not been tortured and manipulated his whole life. He may be a monster, but someone made him that monster.
It’s unfortunate that the way he grew up made him insane but yet you can still see the hood in homelander as he tries to be a good father and even a good hero but every single time he keeps slipping and becoming more and more insane.
Homelander always was completely nuts he just hid it well, like the kid in this scene is called Ryan and he was born from homelander either sleeping with or raping (can’t remember which) Billy’s wife but homelander does genuinely seem to care about ryan
Sad thing is he was framed in the comics he maybe a bastard in terms of how he did things but he did do his job as a hero before he went off the deep end because of black noir
@@T_T-T_Tdidn't it come out that she wasn't raped but she was just ashamed of what she'd done so she disappeared? I could be remembering wrong I'm not sure
“Aunt grace?” You can hear the hurt. He was raised in a lab, in one of the worst emotional environments a child can be in. Yet his son gets to have people he calls familial names. It’s the life he always wanted
I think the scariest thing about homelander is how he lets most of his humanity slip away, but not enough to stop loving and wanting to be a genuinely good dad to his kid, but at the same time not realizing that he will in turn make his child into a monster with his lack of morality.
Has anyone noticed the only times Homelander genuinely shows concern and care for someone is when he's with his son? It's the only time he's human. Really shows how in a way he's trying to be there and be good for his son to fix that traumatized child in him bc of the upbringing he had
I havent watched this show but you can tell that the dude with the cape is a really nice person with a big heart (Edit: did not expect this comment to get 2.3k likes 😂 I was being sarcastic, I've watched all of The Boys, but some of the replies have been hilarious 😅👌🏻)
You will love him and feel bad for him Spoiler: that women stole his kid and her peaple helped traping his father and he just wanted to do the right thing but everybody betrayed him and was his enemy's
I like how in the show he’s clearly psychotic because of the way he grew up. But that he most likely would’ve been a good guy if given a normal childhood. If his episode from Diabolical was canon to the show, then it’s really sad to see the path he went down.
Homelander may be awful but he genuinely does care about his kid, and he showed a hint of genuine compassion here. “You know it wasn’t your fault right?”
@@scribbles3721you forgetting when he made blind spot deaf for no reason at all? Because a nice person would definitely make a blind person deaf just because he doesn’t want a disabled person on the team Ps I know you are a troll
Not really man he never loved Ryan’s mom she was just nothing to him. Obviously he would tell him it was his fault because he probably would have killed her from the start if Ryan didn’t love her. 😂😂😂
It's a lot easier when it's fiction, i'm not judging. Just kind of feels like saying "Funny Austrian Painter may have been a little kookoo, but at least he's the kind of guy to care about animal rights.

@@ArgusWonTr1ck someone with superpowers (especially homelander s) would be able to withstand missiles or more, so its okay because he was testing for one of his powers (flight) and durability. Which he is later shown to have when he takes a shield strike from soldier boy😂
They really got Homelander's narcissism correctly so well. In front of others and to get you to his side he will charm you and speak you up and be kind. But only to get you to his side. Once he has you he will use verbal and physical abuse to tear down your walls and break your ego so you will become an extension of his ego and will. Once you get inside his circle you will never be allowed to disagree with him or have achievements or goals of your own.
homeland is a terrible person but thats what makes him such a *beautiful* character he’s so incredibly human taking on all the darker aspects of what makes us, us
“Your mom wanted what’s best for you…” Yeah she wanted Ryan to steer clear from Homelander’s reach and yet Ryan welcomed in the end because Butcher couldn’t handle his affection
According to one theory, Ryan is starting to develop a soft spot for Homelander, but he only decides to hold his hand in The Boys season 3 to protect Billy Butcher and everyone else. Ryan realizes that Homelander is powerful enough to single-handedly kill all of them, and only he can stop him from doing so.
I don't think her way of trying raising to him was going to work out tbh. Ryan was a slave much like Homelander just with a prettier cage. The kid really has only had shitty options
@@MrFredstt I don’t see it that way, I wouldn’t call Ryan a “slave” I know his mother was keeping under false pretenses of a normal neighborhood but that because of Homelander’s super abilities and they didn’t want to take any chances. I don’t think Becky was forcing her influence upon Ryan but protecting him from Homelander’s reach. He is unstable and unpredictable. If Homelander died before Ryan was born mysteriously I don’t think Becky would kept Ryan hidden from the world since the only threat was Homelander.
I love the way the show did Homelander. Crazily enough it shows the truth about how he was raised and how he got through it. Developed a different personality, developed a mix between a superiority and inferiority complex, it shows that despite his fall towards pure insanity, he has actual values. He genuinely wanted his father Soldier Boy to be proud of him. He wants his son to love him, he’s proud of his son. If he had been raised like Ryan was with Butchers wife, I think he genuinely would’ve been an amazing superhero. But growing up a lab rat and being constantly lied to, he’s beyond saving.
If he would have been giving a normal childhood or at least have been raised with compassion and love he’d probably be one of the most morally respectable hero’s we’ve ever seen. But instead he was a raised like an animal. Picked and proded at day after day definitely flipped a switch.
I love those one off lines which are played off like they're nothing. "I can hear your fingers on that screen" bro Homelander has super hearing and I love that it's a throw away line.
God I hate how good it feels when Homelander says "you know that wasn't your fault right?" Like, God damn it, upure such a bad dude, why do I love the rare moments when you're nice?
"You know it wasn't your fault, right?" Is exactly what my dad told me when he yook me to practice driving at 14 and I drove into a tree. Thats a dad line right there.
Here Homelander just sees himself in his son, he just tries to give him what he never had - a real family. He sees a real hero in him, second chance to prove himself he is a better person
It seems like the only time homelander is human at all is when it comes to protecting his son. I think he knows his son can be a better version of him.
I mean he is an insane character, yet he has realizations like that. If he was raised normally he’d probably be an actual hero

What were they talking about though? I don’t remember what the kid did
@@willful311he heat vision Lazerd homelander girlfriend trying to save his mother and accidentally killing his mother and severely injured homelanders girlfriend
It's also his coping mechanism for everything
He did the same shit as a kid and was probably given hell for it
The fact the homelander didn’t just kill the lady shows that he can think twice before doing something
When it comes to taking care of Ryan he knows to play it smart.
I think he realizes Ryan has some new bond with Grace and doesn't want to push him away by killing her. He's a very selfish guy at the end of the day. He's better than most parents nowadays. LOL
Only bc of Ryan. Without the kid around him he doesn't hesitate
Didn't know mah boah Arthur watched The Boys, what's your opinion on it?
If his son wasnt there she woulda got melted in a split second, homelander is a literal constant psychotic episode.
honestly a sweet moment between father and son
Sad it was ruined by the unvolontary murder of his son later on.
You know he’s a rapist and that’s his illegitimate son 😂
You mean manipulative moment? Homelander is literally there to see if he can brainwash the boy into loving him like the father he never had.
