@@VladtheInhaler I just hope they won't use the "hallucination" card anymore. I was so hyped for this episode when I saw the promo last week, and it's a bit disappointing to find out that it was just a dream sequence
grimmjow13 It’s only season 2 . If you rush something like this the damn series would be over in about two more seasons. Just let them build it up first .
The look on his face after he did it...It looked liked a combination of horror and anguish. I haven’t read the comics, but it seems like he wants so desperately to be loved and respected but doesn’t know how to in return
And there's another level to this where I think he gets tired of being so restrained. He actually wants to help people but he could flick a finger and it would break someone's neck, he probably constantly feels like he's living in a house full of glass and hates it.
In the following scene, he's rewatching the footage of him making a fool out of himself and has fits of crying and laughing, unable to control his emotions.
If she had the ability to pop his head im sure she would’ve done it the absolute first chance she got. Really if anybody in the entire show had the opportunity to kill Homelander I can’t see anybody not taking it, it’s in nobody’s best interest that he stays alive
@@RealCanadianGoose i was talking about his reputation, and stormfront kinda gave him back his popularity with the memes so there's that still going for him
Part of me thinks they want to keep preserving some element of humanity to Homelander prior to the full descent into insanity. He’s a monster but a layered one. We see in the day dream that killing that crowd brings him no joy, if anything he looks on the verge of tears at the end.
@ᴘʀɪᴍʀᴏꜱᴇ Oh definitely, I don't think he feels bad about killing them per say but the love of the crowd is literally the only kind of love Homelander ever felt in his life. So pretty much everytime he does something good or even just restrain himself, it's for the sake of his reputation, the sake of the only real love that anyone ever had for him. That's why I think trying to ruin Homelander's reputation without having a real way to actually kill him like the Boys are doing is just silly and reckless. As dangerous as Homelander is now, its nothing compared to how he'll be once he has nothing to lose anymore. You gotta have a plan to kill the monster before removing his chain.
We discover Homelander's weakness... he wants approval and the love of people... when he lost his ratings he took it very hard, and the memes that made fun of him... lasering people would be totally against that desire
@@user-cx9un9fs7qI'm sure it can be both. As sociopathic as he is, he just doesn't mind killing those he feels justified about stopping, but he's still human and at least semi-functional, so I don't think he'd enjoy seeing hundreds of children sliced up like deli meat as a person. That would require a level of deranged that he just isn't. At least not at this point in the show
@@asims5335 Well seeing as Homelander in the show has been said to survive every weapon known to man (Which would include nukes), I think it's safe to say she can't blow up his head, maybe give him a slight headache at best, remember, as easy as it looks, she's only done it to normal humans, or supes like Shockwave who don't even have superhuman durability (As in he's more durable than the average man, but he's not going to be able to say, take a bullet to the chest, or head and walking away with his life)
@@omarsameh7103 Yeah, but breaking the laws of physics doesn't actually mean anything though, if it did, than A-train would be on par with Queen Maeve in durability, and from what we see in the show, he clearly isn't, so, yeah, poppin Shockwave's head means nothing, at BEST, she's is RIGHT below a missile in terms of striking power, which again, would mean nothing to Homelander
But that's because the show has influenced your view of the character. It's almost exactly like protesting the military or a government. They _can_ order someone to kill you. Bomb your hometown. But you don't expect them to. They've gained your trust in that regard. It would be illegal for them to do that, and there would be consequences. All of this fits in with Homelander too. It's illegal for him to kill the protesters, the public trusts him not to kill his own, he has never been seen to do anything of the sorts, and Black Noir would be sent after his ass if he ever did. That's why the protesters feel safe, although I grant you It's not perfectly analogous.
@Viktor the victor Exactly. Plus the audience knows a lot more about Homelander than the public does in the show. It’s perfectly reasonable that they have no idea how unhinged he is.
@@Durzel Precisely what I was getting at. What makes Homelander different is that he alone wields such unimaginable power. For us humans to kill as many people as he could in 10 minutes, we would need an entire combat force. This is of course unlikely to happen because it would require more than just one unhinged mind snapping, all having the same crazy ideas at the same time.
@Richkillz It really isn't. Personally I think the ACAB stuff is stupid, but it doesn't matter. There is no natural force, no mental lock that would stop a police officer (or anyone armed) from firing into a crowd. What stops them is the consequences that would follow. What makes us feel safe is their track record - the likelihood of them snapping. Again, this applies to Homelander as well.
@@TobesAnimation Nah, he doesn't go on a massacre because he doesn't want to be feared only and alone all the time. He might have superpowers, he might have been raised in a lab, but he still is a human being at the core. Nobody wants to be completely alone. Sure, he has a lot of mental issues, but he is at least smart enough to take these drives out where he can manage to swoop it under the rug, like killing people in Syria or small time gangsters on the streets.
@JustChizzin The thing is, Trump isn't nearly as powerful as Homelander. He needs aproval/red tape/etc. Homelander can literally do whatever the fuck he wants
Ashleys fear at the end of this scene is surreal! She’s afraid for the people, of what Homelander might do to them. She’s still so traumatized after what she saw. It’s pretty sad.
@@aidanling4025 I think Stormfront is trying to take over/take down Vaught. The FBI director said something about an internal coup within Vaught right before her head exploded. Queen Maeve just wants to take down Homelander.
Just came back here after the Season 2 finale, and noticed an interesting detail: Keep an eye on Neuman from the moment Homelander shows up. She never takes her eyes off him once. Now, it's obvious why: if she's actually working for Vought, she likely have blown his head off the second it looked like he would snap and attack the crowd. So realistically, he would have died the second his eyes glowed.
Wow some people are really so stupid. If you can pick up a five pound weight does it mean you can pick up a 5,000 pound weight? Lol fanboys are dumb as shit. 😂
@AR - 09WS 704501 Heart Lake SS We don’t know how her powers work: she was able to kill Shockwave, so she might be able to kill other supers just as easily.
I love the contrast : first he enjoys killing those people, and right after when he realizes people don't want him, you can feel his sadness. Amazing actor
Literally and metaphorically, the people who are truly powerless in this scene are the audience. I was scared of what he would do to the senator, now I'm wondering what would have happened had he tried.
I mean theoretically she would have tried to kill homelander if he went ballistic on the audiance, but I think regardless she would have died along with the audience, the only one who can keep homelander in check is himself ;)
The last episode in season 2 seems to go the route where he says F**k Vought with Stormfront and Black Noir will fight them in the next season. Or Stormfront will screw Homelander out of vought and she becomes the leader in season 3.
I'm pretty sure that's what she wanted to look like when Homelander appeared. It played very much in her favor to have him appear in front of her and diminish her with his superpowers in front of people and cameras 😉
You know what stands out most to me in this scene is the face Homelander makes after lasering the crowd. It seems there are more sadness and pain in his face than rage. Like he's so obsessed with being loved by everyone having a whole crowd boo him would hurt him deep down.
homelander's Jaw's clenching and its micro movements, really sells the emotion. Absolutely love this scene. Btw his australlian accent was much much apparant in this scene
Its a fucking tough job that actor has to play. He has to send us the audience signals that he's barely keeping his shit together and wants to kill everyone, while the character also acts just nice enough that it feels believable so you don't start asking why people don't immediately turn and run for their lives every time creepy superman he shows up.
Spider-Man : Hey everyone. Everyone cheers with joy and excitement. Homelander: Hey everyone. Everyone complete and utter silence. Trembling with sheer fear.
@@romondoto2630 I’m not talking about the movie, I’m talking about the concept of Superman vs Batman. In dc Superman always gets beat because of a stupid green rock but in the boyz , homelander doesn’t have a weakness and has shown he can kill butcher whenever he wants so it’s better , imo.
In the comics he was actually fighting himself wondering if he really r*p*ed and killed Butcher’s wife. Out of all the things he did that was the one thing that scared him.
SanjiMakesEdibles I’m holding out that this Noir will still be the [spoiler person]. He has survived incredible damage. I hope they make him more bizarro and mutated instead of a perfect version.
@Richkillz yeah if you see the comics, black noir was created for the purpose of killing homelander in the case he goes full on psycho. However, after seeing this recent episode, it seems the powers have been altered. Stormfront, aka liberty, is very strong. She took his beams to her sternum without cutting her through. In the comics she is a man and gets ganged up on by the boys and some other russian super hero and killed . So we will see how the show plays out
@@mohammadsaeed1321 the show is obviously very different from the comics. I'd be surprised if they went for the original black noir arc at this point. It would also not make a lot of sense, considering, well, everything.
I love how they laser effect in this show. Marvel lasers knock people down, maybe singe their clothes a little, they get back up and return to the fight. Homelander‘s lasers cut through reality like a goddamned deli slicer. No death twitches, either. People go from complex living creatures to splatters of wet meat in a split second. It’s horrifying.
Although I get your point, how often in marvel shows and movies do lasers hit ordinary people? And even when it comes to iron man's repulsor blasts, they're typically concussive and not made to blast holes in people cuz he's not...vicious?
@@B1ackxUnicornx lmao captain marvel blasts through a heavy reinforced door but it doesnt blast a hole through their body when she directs it at someone?
One thing to note is that Homelander doesn’t shoot them. He kinda drags his laser to act like a sword. Even when not going sideways he’ll drag it straight down like seen in the cabin.
@@mintberrycrunch4064 literally is though: a young congress woman and homelander references a dance she did that was published online much like AOC's dance at university.
Prepping every ounce of strength for one big “emergency head explosion” if she needed to. Probably wouldn’t work but looked like she was ready to give it a try as a last resort
I knew this was a dream or fantasy because homelander praises public option of himself greatly! Despite I wanted it to happen, so the world can see at last what he really is, a piece of shit in a shiny wrapper !
everyone in this show was so perfectly casted, but serious props to casting antony starr for homelander. his voice, his face, the movement and stage presence is so perfect for homelander. no one else could play homelander as well as starr could
Its just great to see exactly how devastating his power set is and how truly unstoppable he is. So far he seems stronger and more durable than in the comics. No idea how they’ll kill him
Data Boss what are u talking about did you not see this episode he killed one in Africa, hell this season he obliterated blindespots ear drums and let him bleed out and he killed doppelgänger
Uh no. He almost kills Starlight as he casually moves her ribs in the elevator and Maeve is scared of him. both of them are not exactly weak heroes. Black Noir is the only one that can stand with him in a serious fight since he is the Vought deterrent against Homelander StormFront is a tier below which is why she wanted to calm Homelander down before he decides to seriously try to kill her, but she can resist to an extent such as resistance to heat vision.
@@jeagerjeager9171 he's still a kid who has no control of his powers yet so no, he can't do anything to him. Homelander does care about his son however which does make him his weakness in a sense.
I have to say, productions like The Boys is making me appreciate comics a lot more as an entertainment medium. I never really read much of these types of comics and always thought of them as juvenile, but I'm extremely happy to admit I was completely wrong about comics books.
Guy shouldn't even be there. Last I checked, you are not allowed to vote or participate in political events, rallies or protests while in uniform. Unless of course, this man was discharged beforehand.
Drinker_Of_ Milk Maybe Homelander had that law reversed when he wanted both civilians and soldiers to rally to let supers join the military, and now that reversal is biting him in the ass?
The pit in my stomach when I saw for the first time was unreal, upon re-watch, I just noticed how shitty of a backhanded compliment the "You guys are the real heroes!" line is
He almost looks.....lost Confused, we’ve seen Homelander throughout season 1 be on top, confident, basically the man who was untouchable. But here, we see that he’s falling apart, everything that he knew....it’s basically falling through his fingers.
Anthony Star plays Homelander to the T! There's even a small moment when he takes the mic from the lady that he actually looks like the comic book version with that big cheesy grin, it's amazing. You couldn't cast a better actor to play Homelander in a million years.
how? pls explain, i can't see any comparison other than characters killing other characters, but even then homelands just imagined it, joker actually shot murray.
It had a lot of eater eggs from real life 1)Remeber the reshoot of DOT7:It is being done by a guy named Joss...which in real life alludes to JL reshoot by Joss Whedon. 2)Homelander trying to undermine the actress who played "Farah Karim":Real life situation where AOC was threatened by a troll group by showing her videos of her dancing when she was a student 3)A TRAIN UNSATISFIED WITH THE SCRIPT:Ray Fisher unsatisfied with Joss Whedon reshoot.

That look in his eyes after he realizes what he's done. I mean sure he felt good doing it but he almost looks... remorseful? Until he snaps back into it.
No, there is no good in him. He fucked his own reputation by killing that civilian and by killing a whole mass of them would only make everything much much worse, that's why he suppressed the urge to do it. But you can see at his expression that he totally wanted to do it, basically saying with his expression "you little shits... I could Slaughter all of you without breaking a sweat if the consequences of that weren't so troublesome for me..."
Soetpotatis I can see that, but this is just foreshadowing things to come! The entire episode shows Homelander loosing his mind, so it would be like Anakin Skywalker imagining slaughtering all the Jedi and has moment of regret foreshadowing his future as Darth Vader. The only difference is that Homelander will be robbed of his redemption arc lol
@@CommanderNeutralGray Most Seantors, even most politicians are. Have to be mentally unstable to enforce indoctrinated policies in people knowing they don't want them.
Brianw2261 Hard disagree. Had he been a normal man, he would have justification for defending himself if people had charge at him. Being ridiculous powerful as he is, his only “defense” should be flying away. That’s it.
And this show kinda points out everything that she’s for. I can *easily* name 3 things in this episode: -Corporations care about lining their pockets and preventing disastrous shit leaking out. -A Privatized Military Force (IE: the Supes) should *NEVER* be used because they can do almost whatever the fuck they want in the field. -Privatized healthcare is *shit* for the common people (Butcher’s Aunt).
@Domagoj Čović Yes, your run of the mill hatred for a progressive democrat is deeply offensive and not at all just a banal and cringeworthy regurgitation of impact font memes your aunt shared on Facebook.
Homelander is so amazing, you can see a pure evil inside this big infant, not for power, treasure or beauty. But like those very young children that pleased to kill some small insects, for fun and not mean to do, they just want to be loved so make moves to attracting others. Innocent and cruelty together make him "terrific"
To be fair, he speech and justification for his reckless collateral damage is horrible. He could've easily saved it if he worded it a bit differently, but he said all the wrong things
I just love the absolute silent after he lands, they don't have a reason to be afraid on him right now but the possibly of what he could do terrifies them.
No One And possibly black noir, maybe a few others out there who can exploit some weird weakness, who know maybe they have a tactical nuke sitting in his colon or something...Vaught isn’t to be trifled with

That would require a level of deranged that he just isn't. At least not at this point in the show

Pretty sure she can't. Homies head is too strong
She’s employed for Vought, not the seven. I’m pretty sure she could blow his head.
@@asims5335 Well seeing as Homelander in the show has been said to survive every weapon known to man (Which would include nukes), I think it's safe to say she can't blow up his head, maybe give him a slight headache at best, remember, as easy as it looks, she's only done it to normal humans, or supes like Shockwave who don't even have superhuman durability (As in he's more durable than the average man, but he's not going to be able to say, take a bullet to the chest, or head and walking away with his life)
123456 789 i mean technically shockwave is very durable no one would be able to move at that intense speed without burning like crisp due to friction
@@omarsameh7103 Yeah, but breaking the laws of physics doesn't actually mean anything though, if it did, than A-train would be on par with Queen Maeve in durability, and from what we see in the show, he clearly isn't, so, yeah, poppin Shockwave's head means nothing, at BEST, she's is RIGHT below a missile in terms of striking power, which again, would mean nothing to Homelander
**Had he done it**
Vought: That is not Homelander. That is Bizarro Homelander
"He was under the influence....of mind control....by yet another supe terrorist." and tell me that's not exactly how they'd say it
It was a supe terrorist disguised as homelander
I can't wait for Homelander to get whacked.
@Rtkts yep he is dead
@Rtkts They could claim the original homelander is dead, doppelganger is stuck in his body
As amazing as this scene is, I'd personally be against angering somebody who can murder hundreds of people with his eyes.
But that's because the show has influenced your view of the character. It's almost exactly like protesting the military or a government. They _can_ order someone to kill you. Bomb your hometown. But you don't expect them to. They've gained your trust in that regard. It would be illegal for them to do that, and there would be consequences.
All of this fits in with Homelander too. It's illegal for him to kill the protesters, the public trusts him not to kill his own, he has never been seen to do anything of the sorts, and Black Noir would be sent after his ass if he ever did.
That's why the protesters feel safe, although I grant you It's not perfectly analogous.
@@viktorthevictor6240 It's like protesting against the police
@Viktor the victor Exactly. Plus the audience knows a lot more about Homelander than the public does in the show. It’s perfectly reasonable that they have no idea how unhinged he is.
@@Durzel
Precisely what I was getting at. What makes Homelander different is that he alone wields such unimaginable power. For us humans to kill as many people as he could in 10 minutes, we would need an entire combat force. This is of course unlikely to happen because it would require more than just one unhinged mind snapping, all having the same crazy ideas at the same time.
@Richkillz
It really isn't. Personally I think the ACAB stuff is stupid, but it doesn't matter.
There is no natural force, no mental lock that would stop a police officer (or anyone armed) from firing into a crowd. What stops them is the consequences that would follow. What makes us feel safe is their track record - the likelihood of them snapping.
Again, this applies to Homelander as well.
Victoria Newman lookin really intently at Homelander's head....

I think she can't blow up his head, that's why she's nervous

@@TobesAnimation Nah, he doesn't go on a massacre because he doesn't want to be feared only and alone all the time. He might have superpowers, he might have been raised in a lab, but he still is a human being at the core. Nobody wants to be completely alone. Sure, he has a lot of mental issues, but he is at least smart enough to take these drives out where he can manage to swoop it under the rug, like killing people in Syria or small time gangsters on the streets.
@JustChizzin The thing is, Trump isn't nearly as powerful as Homelander. He needs aproval/red tape/etc. Homelander can literally do whatever the fuck he wants
Ashleys fear at the end of this scene is surreal! She’s afraid for the people, of what Homelander might do to them. She’s still so traumatized after what she saw. It’s pretty sad.

@@Bitchslapper316 that is very true but then again the show is riddled with plot twist and its barely 5 episodes in
Just came back here after the Season 2 finale, and noticed an interesting detail: Keep an eye on Neuman from the moment Homelander shows up. She never takes her eyes off him once. Now, it's obvious why: if she's actually working for Vought, she likely have blown his head off the second it looked like he would snap and attack the crowd. So realistically, he would have died the second his eyes glowed.
I don't think shes powerful enough to blow his head off.

I love the contrast : first he enjoys killing those people, and right after when he realizes people don't want him, you can feel his sadness. Amazing actor
This makes me appreciate Super Man even more. Despite all his power, he remained human.
Superman grows like a normal human, he had a life, homelander just grows in a lab without fathers or love

Honestly if Superman were real I'd be terrified of it. We basically got lucky that the indestructible and undefeatable alien had a nice personality...
He looked sad and almost horrified afterwards.
To me it looked like he almost revered the sight of all those dead people, like he was just like: 'Finally'.
Yeah I think he was surprised he even imagined it honestly. Like holy shit it would be much more brutal than just simply lasering them.
He'd be devastated, look at his face
I kinda feel for the guy tbh
It's a combination of both

its hin losing his grip on the one thing that keeps him going full on monster

B. Team Expansion she wasn’t ordered to. She’s employed by Vought.

I'm pretty sure that's what she wanted to look like when Homelander appeared. It played very much in her favor to have him appear in front of her and diminish her with his superpowers in front of people and cameras 😉
I'm the only one who thinks she seems to be AOC.
If u watch the season finale, I think we can all understand why congresswoman always kept her eyes locked at Homelander.
How deep does it go if homelander doesn't know she is controlled opposition
ballofmayo Homelander doesn’t know everything Edgar has up his sleeve.
I wonder if she was following orders or simply can’t actually hurt him
You know what stands out most to me in this scene is the face Homelander makes after lasering the crowd. It seems there are more sadness and pain in his face than rage. Like he's so obsessed with being loved by everyone having a whole crowd boo him would hurt him deep down.
homelander's Jaw's clenching and its micro movements, really sells the emotion. Absolutely love this scene. Btw his australlian accent was much much apparant in this scene
Its a fucking tough job that actor has to play. He has to send us the audience signals that he's barely keeping his shit together and wants to kill everyone, while the character also acts just nice enough that it feels believable so you don't start asking why people don't immediately turn and run for their lives every time creepy superman he shows up.
Isnt he from New Zealand?

@@edgar2x675 That’s not a spoiler since the show and comics are different.
I think homelander thinking about massacring all those people actually scared himself
In the comics he was actually fighting himself wondering if he really r*p*ed and killed Butcher’s wife. Out of all the things he did that was the one thing that scared him.
Homelander "Sometimes, well these things just happen."
Crowd "Wait, this happened before?"
If that crowd only knew about the plane incident.
Black Noir: It's showtime!!!!
Homelander: Sike you thought....
@SanjiMakesEdibles No noir is shown to be a Superior Version of homelander
SanjiMakesEdibles I’m holding out that this Noir will still be the [spoiler person]. He has survived incredible damage. I hope they make him more bizarro and mutated instead of a perfect version.
@Richkillz he can
@Richkillz yeah if you see the comics, black noir was created for the purpose of killing homelander in the case he goes full on psycho. However, after seeing this recent episode, it seems the powers have been altered. Stormfront, aka liberty, is very strong. She took his beams to her sternum without cutting her through. In the comics she is a man and gets ganged up on by the boys and some other russian super hero and killed . So we will see how the show plays out
@@mohammadsaeed1321 the show is obviously very different from the comics.
I'd be surprised if they went for the original black noir arc at this point.
It would also not make a lot of sense, considering, well, everything.
I love how they laser effect in this show. Marvel lasers knock people down, maybe singe their clothes a little, they get back up and return to the fight. Homelander‘s lasers cut through reality like a goddamned deli slicer. No death twitches, either. People go from complex living creatures to splatters of wet meat in a split second. It’s horrifying.
Although I get your point, how often in marvel shows and movies do lasers hit ordinary people? And even when it comes to iron man's repulsor blasts, they're typically concussive and not made to blast holes in people cuz he's not...vicious?
@@B1ackxUnicornx lmao captain marvel blasts through a heavy reinforced door but it doesnt blast a hole through their body when she directs it at someone?
@@klung1465 wouldnt that jus mean she can control the power output of her blasts

One thing to note is that Homelander doesn’t shoot them. He kinda drags his laser to act like a sword. Even when not going sideways he’ll drag it straight down like seen in the cabin.
It's weird watching this scene after the finale.
" I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT 🥴💦"
The finale definitely puts a diffrent spin on this scene lol

everyone in this show was so perfectly casted, but serious props to casting antony starr for homelander. his voice, his face, the movement and stage presence is so perfect for homelander. no one else could play homelander as well as starr could
That is what Jeff Bezos would have liked to do when AOC was protesting against his factory.
If that actually could happen, there's a roughly equal chance she'd give him the Scanners treatment
Its just great to see exactly how devastating his power set is and how truly unstoppable he is. So far he seems stronger and more durable than in the comics. No idea how they’ll kill him
And now he's got his fuck buddy stormfront who seems just as powerful as him
@@shaun1098 stormfront is a little notch below in the comics hes second strongest
Data Boss what are u talking about did you not see this episode he killed one in Africa, hell this season he obliterated blindespots ear drums and let him bleed out and he killed doppelgänger
Uh no. He almost kills Starlight as he casually moves her ribs in the elevator and Maeve is scared of him. both of them are not exactly weak heroes. Black Noir is the only one that can stand with him in a serious fight since he is the Vought deterrent against Homelander StormFront is a tier below which is why she wanted to calm Homelander down before he decides to seriously try to kill her, but she can resist to an extent such as resistance to heat vision.

@User 0 okay never mind, now that we see that blacknoir is actually black, they are clearly not going by the comic book
I couldn’t be disappointed since i was too busy loving and being so interested in this scene
The Homelander character is super interesting. Raised to be a sociopath, it seems all he wants is to be loved.
The homeowner... yes
It's moments like these that remind me how lucky the DC universe is to have the Kents be the ones who found Clark's space shuttle. They raised that boy right.
That look in his eyes after he realizes what he's done. I mean sure he felt good doing it but he almost looks... remorseful? Until he snaps back into it.
I’m actually surprised he didn’t do it. But that look of sadness and regret when he imagines doing it shows Homelander has some good still in him.
@JustChizzin correct the only thing most of the superheros care about is there image and ratings
No, there is no good in him. He fucked his own reputation by killing that civilian and by killing a whole mass of them would only make everything much much worse, that's why he suppressed the urge to do it. But you can see at his expression that he totally wanted to do it, basically saying with his expression "you little shits... I could Slaughter all of you without breaking a sweat if the consequences of that weren't so troublesome for me..."
Soetpotatis I can see that, but this is just foreshadowing things to come! The entire episode shows Homelander loosing his mind, so it would be like Anakin Skywalker imagining slaughtering all the Jedi and has moment of regret foreshadowing his future as Darth Vader. The only difference is that Homelander will be robbed of his redemption arc lol
