@@franknash1210 you're making a joke like that counters the point, it's not about whether hughie would win, it's about knowing he wouldn't and still not being afraid like most others are of homelander even when they have the powers to fight back unlike him.
Kinda of funny that the writers tried to frame this and other moments as Hughie “toxic masculinity” moments. Is completely understandable that Hughie would feel that way as he’s fighting superpowered beings, and also him being the weakest out of all the humans in his team. How it is toxic to feel like he does when everyone looks down on him like he’s worth nothing?
@felipemontero1087 to be fair I do think s3 had a point about it being a two way street. He should have talked about it with Star and even though she wanted him to lean on her strength I don't think she realized how it came across as her thinking he needs to be protected. For the most part I think she was right esp since Huey ended up using temp V but they both needed to understand each other better.
@@TempestDacine fair point. The thing id that the show portrays that two way street in a pretty hypocritical way.

And Starlight constantly has Hughie used as leverage by Homelander, even when Hughie has stand (and almost killed him) without Starlight, and then she’s offended by the fact that Hughie didn’t wanted to stay under Homelander threat?
Hughie had a cool star down and looked cool not backing down, they really got to think of a better thing for starlight because everytime she makes her eyes glow I laugh like that shit weak as hell.
Dude's staredown actually surprised Homelander. There are very few people that dont quiver in fear around him so it always surprises him when someone doesnt show fear.
@@Original-Phantom Yeah, Hughie was definitely afraid, Homelander knew it, he was just surprised that even against him Hughie's fright response was fight not flight.
Best part is that after hughie did that(before he took temp v) homelander gained a lot of respect for him cause he knew he could easily kill him but hughie still stood up against him
Stan Edgar is the one that's truly not afraid of Homelander, I don't even think he'd care if Homelander killed him, he's just sick of his mess, and would probably thank him for taking him out so he wouldn't have to deal with him anymore. 😂
@@akbersalim9096no, like what's the most homelander can do? Kill me? Sure go right ahead alot of people wouldn't be afraid of a big insecure baby that has powers, because they aren't afraid of dying

This is honestly one of my favorite character moments for Hughie. This is the first and only time (as of the end of season 3, at least) that he is truly not afraid of Homelander. A big theme of season 3 is Hughie and Butcher becoming more like each other, and the former is for the first time really getting how the latter can be single-mindedly devoted: you have to be so fucking angry that it burns away anything else.

I think my favorite part of Hughie stepping up is that Hughie’s slightly taller as well. Homelander had to actually look up at him, which adds SO much to a scene like this.
I like to think Homelander's little noise was him trying to play off his surprise that the guy, just like his boss, didn't have any fear in that moment.
He just respects people that can stare at him like that, he likes the courage. He’ll kill you if he feels threatened of course but he respects one who can step up to him, he hasn’t killed anyone that has done that (pretty sure) but people who did it behind his back or whatever he did kill. Step one of surviving Homelander be his pup, step two stand up to him. You’ll be a perfect balance and he won’t kill you…. Hopefully 😃
