@icaroalbuquerque8363 It varies from country to country. However, as a term sociopathy is pretty widely rejected as a whole in most professional settings. Since "sociopathic personality disturbance" was used to justify racism and homophobia at the US southern border to reject immigrants based on rigged psychological screening, it has been dropped from the DSM since January 1, 1968.
Homelander is best villain because he can do whatever. He is like Superman but evil! I really love this trope no gonna lie. I am sure he will make himself dictator in an year. No way the Boys can kill him only Homelander can kill himself.
And possibly an older Ryan. Homelander is interesting to watch. He steals each scene for me, thanks to Anthony's great acting. Him and Butcher are the most interesting characters for me.
I mean, the actor plays the good writing so well, probably would be a fascinating enough case study. Humans are capable of great light and dark, but some of the darkest humans in history don't reach anywhere near John's absolutely fractured mental state.
In the tv show its confirmed that homelanders mom, or at least the woman who carried him, was just some runaway who was paid 2k to carry him to term. Idk if they used her eggs or not but yeah i think soldier boy is the only supe between homelanders “parents”
If homelander would decide to train seriously to amplify his powers he would be unstoppable in his verse, he could literally one punch anyone in his world.
Training does not make much of a difference when superpowers are in play. That is just human-centric vision of pseudo-physics. The only thing that matter is the force behind the punch and its application. Training allows one to close a small gap in strength between two even opponents. But if you take world greatest boxer and throw him to fight a silverback gorilla…. He will LOSE. Homelander is already optimized at what he does. He received realistic kind of martial art training from Vought agents (same kind of ex-military or black ops units) and adult supes. He will never be Jacky Chan with mystical martial arts mumbo jumbo. In real life, martial arts won’t save you from a knife. That is just coping and idolizing the extent of an impact of dedication and human will. Likewise, Homelander will not grow in power from lifting or some other nonsense like that. He is built the way he is, optimal at using his finite strength and has adequate militaristic martial art training. That is it.
POV: Speedster throwing a metal needle at 99.9% of the speed of light can level a continent according to real life physics. Likewise, super strong being (Maeve) can create super-acceleration (F is proportional to A and she has super force behind each punch). Put two plus two together and you get super strength puncturing his ear, irrespective of the object that conducted said force.
She got blown nearly fully in half with a grenade launcher and only took like 30 sec to fully heal back. She's pretty damn unkillable at this point. Would likely take some of the most extremes to kill her, nukes, disintegration etc maybe. We still don't know exactly quite how powerful her healing factor is tho, can she regen from a single cell? Does her brain need to be intact (Probably not, CV makes zombie supes if they're brain dead when given V.) I hope we do get an answer at some point tho, always like learning about Kimiko she's def one of my favorite characters so far, she's so fucking brutal and badass but also so capable of being compassionate and kind and caring and her actress is just nuking this role.
I have to wonder who the mother is, maybe it was an egg of crimson countess or maybe stormfront. Someone had the theory that he banged his own mom in S2, S3 SB says she was a real 'firecracker' who founded herogasm with. Because to me him just being directly from the sperm of SB and nothing else makes no sense, he's a human just super enhanced. Like he has the exact same parts as a normal human so he would have had to been born from some female donor as well. Really interested in seeing more of his backstory and if they'd ever disclose who was his mother.
It's theorized that Stormfront donated her Ovum for the Homelander's embryo creation. She was very close to Solider Boy during her Liberty phase, and was also in Vaugts inner circle. This would also probably explain his ability to fly .
"[...] who loved the woods manifesting destiny" This line makes no sense, he doesn't like the woods for their ability to "manifest destiny", he liked the woods AND the CONCEPT of MANIFEST DESTINY, the spiritual American ideal of greatness through effort.
Didn't even shock me, fits right in with all the other fucked up shit happening in the show. The show goes out of its way to make these people as SUPER flawed as they are SUPER powered. I think its the appeal. It's a subversion of the flood of feel good, good people super hero content we have a lot more of now.
just a tip. if you want more audience retention. you first 30 seconds should be hinting at what the rest of the video is about. then explain who homelander is and backstory. it will hook more viewers and especially ones who watch the show as they already know about his backstory so will most likely be bored by the current intro. not trying to critise you, i just want you to be successful. have a great day! ❤
He is past the point of redemption. The only penance that could be a form of justice is him losing his powers and being forced to live as a human and becoming a "good" human. Otherwise, he cannot redeem himself.
It would be hard now for Black Noir to be a Homelander clone in the series, especially with Homelanders' x-ray vision... He's already said to the original Black Noir that he could see his face and scars etc.
*SPOILERS* my personal theory is that stormfront was the woman who carried homelander. in the comics, stormfront is homelanders father, so i imagine that they can relate to that in a way by making her his mother. which makes for a really fucked up relationship, that the boys likes to do.
S4E4 confirms a human carried John to term before he burst forth from her killing her and several of the nursing staff. Stormfront can still be his genetic Mother tho, and likely is, if its not confirmed somewhere and I just dont recall.
Yes I do believe so as a boys fan myself I love homelander hes cold and im all here for it. 100 likes, no replies? Lemme fix that. Only real og homelander fans can like this comment.
That’s because he took V as an adult, which stunted his growth Homelander was designed to age as both a fail safe and because he was being specifically bread for greatness
@@Skynetbearit also seems like the newer version of Compound V is a lot weaker than the old. My theory is that the Compound V used back then (with Stormfront and Soldier Boy) was a lot stronger, but also had less success. It gave you stronger supes who barely aged, but 9/10 people wouldn’t survive. While nowadays, supes aren’t as invulnerable and powerful, but a lot more are able to be made. With a company like Vought, it wouldn’t surprise me that they prioritize quantity over quality.
@@ProjectLDV You people? Why are you so angry over a sci-fi conversation? If you noticed, his powers are slowly diminishing after the soldier boy encounter. Mave was able to actually draw blood and hurt him with a punch. He’s aging. There are little hints that he’s experiencing a change. This is the opinion of one person. Don’t start on the “you people” nonsense.
Sup's can't have sup babies, we know this because Ryan is the first one even though other sups like translucent have children too. Vought would have deliberately made it this way so they don't have unregistered sups out there and so they can be the one's in control of them. This is what the show implies from what we have seen so far.
I also grew up with a little blue blanket as consolation and my parents beating the F out of me as punishment. Dad used to slap me so hard that I immediately peed my pants. Or lock me in the basement in the dark for punishment. I will never do that to my children.
? If you are not, then you lost the whole point of the show and devolved into monkey. Homelander is a “bad victim” trope. Similar to Sadako from the Ring. A tortured entity victimized and turned evil. The whole point of the show is that victims should not be stepped over. But yes, it is easy to blame them for being evil, even though it was not even their fault.
What I would like to see is that butcher gets heal by compound v not v 5 so that he is on the same level over grater then kill him then bill goes and kill any sup that bad and then some end his days
This sends a message that if humanity and science try to play god, the god they create can turn on humantity and look down upon those who created him. After seeing episode 4 of season 4 it’s clear that his sadistic nature and hatred stems from just about everything he was put through and it makes me want to see a spin off series of homelanders younger years. He’s an incredibly interesting yet frightening character.
Shit I mean, its pretty basic fiction trope at this point, the created always turn on their creators eventually. Likely how it plays out in reality to. On a long enough timeline, it will most likely always happen in some form or another.
I think they could find a way to bring black Noir back (the one who's actually Homelander clone). It could be done and I prefer that angle to the story
It's strange, because as repugnant as Homelander is, you can't help but empathise with Homelander at times in the comic and show when you consider the environment in which he was raised. It's also usually the moments where Homelander is most vulnerable and his invincible fascade is lowered that you see the most humanity in Homelander, such as his need to be loved and fear of being abandoned! He really is just a troubled insecure boy in the body of the most powerful man at the end of the day! But due to his narcissism and borderline personality he commits heinous antisocial acts so he does not have to confront his weaknesses!
Why the hell did you say Kimiko and would be dead from Homelanders heat vision when she is able to repair from damage and dismemberment. You literally picked the only Boys member who could survive his beam.
@@Yyhghhd didn't say it was what the show is about, but it is a major focal point of the show, and one of the main characters. No it is more like saying Fast series needs Dom. Could it keep going sure but wouldn't be the same
everything is probably tainted red when he does it or maybe he goes blind for a bit while he's doing it and has to try and hit what he's aiming at while blind
I hope the series is gonna end like: they almost got a way to kill him… with his son but they lose…. Somehow he kills his own son or they team up again and just end the world….
They never used the womb of a supe. *Spoiler for the new episode 4 season 4*. They paid someone to carry him to term and he killed her and a couple doctors upon delivery
How? Maeve gets way more development in the show and does way better in the fight vs homelander. In the comics she basically got one shot and only stalled him for like 10 seconds for starlight to escape.
@@jamesd1586 I feel like the comics version has plenty of development the only thing about her in the show is she is blackmailed by Homelander because she is a lesbian she really doesn't have any other personality. That is the other thing they try to put her on Homelander's level but she isn't he was supposed to be designed and created to be the ultimate Super. It is like Superman vs Wonder Woman it's been said that the only reason she can come close to him in a fight is because Superman holds back and doesn't want to hurt or kill her.

To be honest this stuff is pretty obvious, I thought someone had tried to discuss how any of this might work ! nice enough vid....cheers.
X-ray vision and he didnt saw Hughie in the vents
They were lined with zinc. He can't see through zinc, just like Superman can't see through lead
@@metallicafan11787 yeah but he could just burst through it 😭 like a maniac he is 😈
Looking forward to the Ghostly Kitten's anatomy video.
great video
Better if homelander loses his power instead of dying
The word Homelander is a quite badass
Yeah but they wrong for naming his son Homeboy 💀💀
@@aguynamedsmith6489 Especially that modified image😂💀
Yes I do believe so as a boys fan myself I love homelander hes cold and im all here for it. 100 likes, no replies? Lemme fix that. Only real og homelander fans can like this comment.
Homelander fans unite
@@aguynamedsmith6489 Homeboy just sounds so weird 😂😂😂
Homelanders eyes look dead. Like there’s no soul inside of him. Am I tripping?
Homelander was born from the dna of soulja boy
i swear i just watched a video earlier today that was word for word exactly the same if not extremely close script
Its not his fault but same time he needs to go therapy or something
him aging doesn’t make sense…cause SB doesn’t age
That’s because he took V as an adult, which stunted his growth
Homelander was designed to age as both a fail safe and because he was being specifically bread for greatness
@@Skynetbearit also seems like the newer version of Compound V is a lot weaker than the old.
My theory is that the Compound V used back then (with Stormfront and Soldier Boy) was a lot stronger, but also had less success. It gave you stronger supes who barely aged, but 9/10 people wouldn’t survive. While nowadays, supes aren’t as invulnerable and powerful, but a lot more are able to be made.
With a company like Vought, it wouldn’t surprise me that they prioritize quantity over quality.
I think his exposure to Soldier Boy is slowly diminishing his powers. He got his first bruise after the Soldier Boy encounter.
@@taotaostrongwhat? He got bruised because SB is close to his power level. Why do you people over complicate simple visual language?
@@ProjectLDV You people?
Why are you so angry over a sci-fi conversation? If you noticed, his powers are slowly diminishing after the soldier boy encounter. Mave was able to actually draw blood and hurt him with a punch. He’s aging. There are little hints that he’s experiencing a change. This is the opinion of one person. Don’t start on the “you people” nonsense.
When Noir was replaced in the show they should’ve made him the homelander clone after the original was killed
This x-ray is inconsistent. How did he not see Hughie in the latest episode.
Can't see through zinc, HVAC vents are galvanized steel commonly
Why you give a detailed and long ass intro of HM when only the fans of the show are gonna watch this video and already mostly know him
I am not a fan of The Boys but I'm watching this video
What are you saying? This video shouldn’t be viewed by people that aren’t fans?
Who hurt you, OP?
It's okay buddy. I'm sure the creator of the video did that because he liked it like that. He wasn't trying to step on your toes...trust me.
I have never watched this show. So I appreciated the intro
Sup's can't have sup babies, we know this because Ryan is the first one even though other sups like translucent have children too.
Vought would have deliberately made it this way so they don't have unregistered sups out there and so they can be the one's in control of them.
This is what the show implies from what we have seen so far.
To be honest, I feel sorry for homelander.
I also grew up with a little blue blanket as consolation and my parents beating the F out of me as punishment. Dad used to slap me so hard that I immediately peed my pants. Or lock me in the basement in the dark for punishment. I will never do that to my children.
Sounding like a Homelander sympathizer bro
You sound unamerican
A couple steps away from saying "Hollander did nothing wrong"
?
If you are not, then you lost the whole point of the show and devolved into monkey.
Homelander is a “bad victim” trope. Similar to Sadako from the Ring.
A tortured entity victimized and turned evil.
The whole point of the show is that victims should not be stepped over. But yes, it is easy to blame them for being evil, even though it was not even their fault.
@@kingol4801 oh really? Thanks for enlightening me bro
What I would like to see is that butcher gets heal by compound v not v 5 so that he is on the same level over grater then kill him then bill goes and kill any sup that bad and then some end his days
Real life documentary of Mr Beast.
Where is the anatomy my brother?
Not anymore (if you have watched it, you know what I mean)!😅
Bet you butcher will end up squishing Homelanders brain. I’m deffo calling that scene 100%. Can fully imagine it.
This sends a message that if humanity and science try to play god, the god they create can turn on humantity and look down upon those who created him. After seeing episode 4 of season 4 it’s clear that his sadistic nature and hatred stems from just about everything he was put through and it makes me want to see a spin off series of homelanders younger years. He’s an incredibly interesting yet frightening character.
Shit I mean, its pretty basic fiction trope at this point, the created always turn on their creators eventually. Likely how it plays out in reality to. On a long enough timeline, it will most likely always happen in some form or another.
His mum was not actually a supe
I think they could find a way to bring black Noir back (the one who's actually Homelander clone). It could be done and I prefer that angle to the story
I just realized that he is evil Major Glory
'OMELANDUH DONE TOOK ME SON
Homelanders mom was a runaway human so they probably just tweaked soldiers boys mutations
X-Ray vision did not really come into play when Homelander was looking for Hughie in the ventilation system. Hmmmm.....
zinc
A train
It's strange, because as repugnant as Homelander is, you can't help but empathise with Homelander at times in the comic and show when you consider the environment in which he was raised. It's also usually the moments where Homelander is most vulnerable and his invincible fascade is lowered that you see the most humanity in Homelander, such as his need to be loved and fear of being abandoned! He really is just a troubled insecure boy in the body of the most powerful man at the end of the day! But due to his narcissism and borderline personality he commits heinous antisocial acts so he does not have to confront his weaknesses!
It will be his son I’m guessing! That will be the one who kills him.
Chop chop Allen the guy I need more The Boys and Invincible CONTENT

Homelander was born from the Dna of Stormfront( who in comics is a dude). You learned about homelander from where exactly?
I’m wondering WHY HES BLONDE… who’s GENES did they use on soldier body’s juice??
Homelanders mother apparently was a regular homeless junkie 🤷🏾♂️
Gray pubs. Father time is undefeated. 🤣
Why the hell did you say Kimiko and would be dead from Homelanders heat vision when she is able to repair from damage and dismemberment. You literally picked the only Boys member who could survive his beam.
Omg this is fucking sad in a way 😅. I can understand why the dude is a psycho
Butcher and Maeve did not sleep together💀
they had sex
They did
So, you missed that part.
@@VendettaPSC ooooooh i forgot
The show can't kill him off because it would end the series
Your joking right?
@@Yyhghhd No, I really feel like the show needs Homelander to keep going.
@@drakependragon8439 yeah because that's what the show is about that's like saying fast and furious needs cars to keep going. Pretty obvious
@@Yyhghhd didn't say it was what the show is about, but it is a major focal point of the show, and one of the main characters. No it is more like saying Fast series needs Dom. Could it keep going sure but wouldn't be the same
@@drakependragon8439 the show is about killing homelander it end when he dies? It couldn't keep going without him because the show is about him
what does homelander see when hes using laser eyes, how does he know what hes lasering
everything is probably tainted red when he does it or maybe he goes blind for a bit while he's doing it and has to try and hit what he's aiming at while blind
Decades of practice, considering he’s been trained from a very young. It’s effortless at this point for him.
Doesn’t he have xray vision? Also the laser is being shot form his eyes and not into them so he might not even see them at all
Should have pulled the doc on x-man
Homelanders story is one of the most tragic stories! The guy went through a lot without human connect. How can we blame him for what he finally became
I hope the series is gonna end like: they almost got a way to kill him… with his son but they lose…. Somehow he kills his own son or they team up again and just end the world….
They never used the womb of a supe. *Spoiler for the new episode 4 season 4*.
They paid someone to carry him to term and he killed her and a couple doctors upon delivery
I bought MK1 Only Because of Homelander
Hopefully they do a spin off focusing a Ryan
Maive in the comics is so much better than the show
How? Maeve gets way more development in the show and does way better in the fight vs homelander. In the comics she basically got one shot and only stalled him for like 10 seconds for starlight to escape.
@@jamesd1586 I feel like the comics version has plenty of development the only thing about her in the show is she is blackmailed by Homelander because she is a lesbian she really doesn't have any other personality. That is the other thing they try to put her on Homelander's level but she isn't he was supposed to be designed and created to be the ultimate Super. It is like Superman vs Wonder Woman it's been said that the only reason she can come close to him in a fight is because Superman holds back and doesn't want to hurt or kill her.
