    Written by Bill Willingham?! Ok, I'm going to ignore that moving forward.
    While I understand the thought of superheroes not endorsing a candidate for president, I feel the heroes wouldn't be protecting the interests of the public if they didn't condemn the candidacy of someone like Lex Luthor, for example, who actually was elected president at some point in DC continuity. Imagine that, a supervillain criminal narcissist being elected president...
    Don't officially endorse a candidate because you're supposed to protect everyone. At the same time, people should be reminded who the supervillains are.

      @rangereric18 In this case, there's nothing to be said about any of these candidates, and it seems none of them win because the next US president we see in DC comics after this is President Obama.
      Had this been written now, I believe it would have been different. If we had a story released, say, this year, where angry evil buisnessman and all around terrible person Lex Luthor was going for a second term, the story would likely take a very different turn with very different results and a very different message.
      The pattern I've noticed most often is that, rather than speaking against specific politicians, superheroes and comics as a whole will usually take stances on policies. I'm reading Doomsday Clock right now and that's a brilliant example.
      I haven't read the buildup to Lex Luthor's presidency so i dont know what everyone's work and actions were like then, but I do know after he was elected, Superman was vocal about his disapproval and we got a great story where he and Batman were pitted against the rest of the super community and the nation because of it. So it's not like criticisms of politicians doesn't happen all the time, it just wasn't the focus of this mini series.
      Great perspective! I'm going to go chase down the buildup to the luthor presidency and see what's up. Thanks!

    What is your opinion on Homelander’s character? Is he well written is he poorly written in your eyes? or is it something else?

    • @ComicCrash

      @dylanhudec979 i apologize for the long reply, but i used to teach a collegiate course in comic book writing and you scratched that part of my brain:
      i haven't watched much of The Boys or read it at all. I don't love extreme violence like that and couldn't make it past the first half of the first episode. So I can't say from first-hand experience, but characters don't grow to his level of popularity without being well done.
      The hallmarks of a good character are 1) consistency in reasoning, 2) conflict in personal beliefs and wants vs. What they need to have or do (this can be reversed in the case of characters like Captain America or Superman where they are undeniably good) and 3) a solid purpose and direction.
      Spider-man is a great example. More often than not, he acts out of a sense of responsibility and that informs his choices. He often wants things like a normal life, but he has to sacrifice that for the greater good. This drives Spider-man's purpose and direction which is to use his power to always be helping.
      It works the same for villians, except villians will disregard what they need for what they want. Anakin doesn't want anyone to be a slave again and is angry at the senate for not acting. He wants to have power for himself to solve those problems, but what he needs is to learn how to love and to let go. He chooses power over this lesson, which leads to his downfall and his purposeful direction- to seek endless power forever.
      Those are some quick parameters I'd suggest for defining a "good character". So, what do you think of Homelander?

      @ as much as I would love to explain his backstory and his character but I have a hard time trying to analyze characters but I’ll try my best
      So vought was built in the year 1982 they created multiple superhumans in the past called supes like Homelander. Homelander was born in a vought lab and after he was born they put him in a experiment chamber they did experiments on him and put him inside another chamber called the oven In many many other terrible things they treated him like dirt training him to become the greatest & strongest hero but they didn’t care of showing him love they just treated him not like a human being but like a product after this he grew violent behavior the older he got treating him more like dirt when he was finally grown up they believed he was ready to be the greatest hero but since he was shut off from the world during his childhood he was unaware of how things worked during his first time on the job of being a hero (unlike how he normally acts during heroic stuff since he doesn’t care that much anymore) on his first day He actually tried his best to be a decent hero He was also mimicking the heroes he saw on TV and he was doing so well but things went really terrible after one of the crooks grabbed one of the hostages with a bent gun that Homelander broke after he says it’s hard to hold a gun when it’s 500°F he uses his heat vision on the crooks gun but it exploded when he was trying to melt it after that the crooks hand was blown off because of the explosion and the hostage was killed apparently the crooks were calling him a monster even knowing they were the one’s holding hostages in the first place after one of them kept calling him a monster homelander snap and ripped off the one of the crooks jaw off realizing what he done he tries to say he didn’t mean too but the hostages were calling him a monster Homelander snaps again and kills everyone the crooks and the hostages after snapping back into reality, realizing what he’s done he was scared and confused not knowing what to do but then out of know where black noir shows up Homelander thinking he’s about to call him out for what he’s done so he starts chasing him trying to kill him after the whole building exploded by homelander using his heat vision too much but Homelander was fine but after he saw that black noir survived somehow he was getting ready to end him with his heat vision but then he saw that he had one of the last surviving hostages homelander didn’t want to kill the last hostage but black noir snapped the last hostage neck killing the hostage after that black noir (without speaking) told homelander that he was on his side trying to help him covering up his mistakes so Homelander follows along with it and after the incident he was on the news broadcasts spreading lies to the world and not telling the world what really happened after that Homelander got quick popularity as everyone was cheering for him This is where he got thirsty for attention and fame and glory but realizing that black noir was also getting most of the attention he was a little salty so he flies away I think after that Homelander becomes the person that we all know him for today an awful person with unearned power and then came along other other supes some good some bad some neutral if only vought treated their supes as people they could’ve had a brighter future (I did my best)

      @dylanhudec979 great! Sounds like he has solid motivation, solid direction, and you find him intriguing (the most important element).
