    Reminded me a lot of Invincible when he first tried saving some old women and she got absolutely destroyed because he flew into something to fast, glad he took it better than Homelander

      Maybe because people supported and consoled invincible but condemed and blamed homelander. Also their upbringing so far had been wildly different of course but I definitely see the simile you're referring to.

    This episode is very reminiscent of Homelander’s past in the comic. Like in the episode In the comic Homelander wanted to be an actual hero but due to his faulty training (and upbringing in general) he was shown to be quite incompetent and would mess up a lot. Vought always covered it up and thus he continued to be loved. This lack of personal consequences slowly turned him cold, uncaring and cruel thus making him into the evil bastard we know in the present. It’s quite sad since if he had been put in different circumstances he could have been Superman.
    Something interesting is that in the show Homelander always refers to black noir as “his good friend” in public and in private he is seemingly the only seven member he has no beef with. Really sad to think the only person close to actually being his friend is mute psychopath who never shows his face.

    So, fun fact about this short. Most of Diabolical is meant to be non-canonical, but Erik Kripke, the showrunner of the boys, was so impressed with this short, he made it canon to the show. And I believe Simon Racioppa, the showrunner of the Invincible animated series, was involved in the production of this short too.

      The only think homelander wants it's to be loved.. he was raised " like a fucking lab rat". (Quoting him)
      But people either treat him like a god out of fear.. or like a monster. That's why he respects butcher so much because he doesn't give a flying fuck how powerful he is... he's probably the only person in the world that treats him like a human being.(kinda 😅)
      When you think about it... Looking at the way vought raised him.. I actually think he turned out pretty great.. lmao..
      The only thing saving humanity is that he's completely broken and needs this constant and pathetic need to be adored and loved.
      It's kinda sad actually.

      @@kikaGama98 Homelander needs people to either love him or fear him. He seems to have a real issue dealing with people who hate him but do not fear him. It's why Butcher and the Boys are such a problem for him. He could murder them at any time but their deaths would not fuel his ego. Homelander had no issue abusing Maeve while she was afraid of him but starts to tip-toe around he as soon as she loses her fear of him. Stillwell was scared of him so he killed her. Edgars is not afraid of him so Homelander let him walk away.

      A boy tortured, going through trauma all his life and then putting him in the world makes him DANGEROUS.
      ANYONE doing his job needs to know how to exercise extreme discipline in mitigating collateral damage, whereas they didn't advise him on a damn thing.
      He chose to be a monster but what he went through makes it incomprehensibly difficult not to be.

    Loved this one, Vought screwed up Homelander. It also reminded us how Black Noir is an OG, he knew how to play it when he saw Homelander lose it (also batman v superman ref, I think Noir can take homelander). A small thing was they called Homelander a fascist before he even did anything, the perception of heroes was already there and he could have possibly been different if they would let him do his whole spill (maybe).

    This is one of the two canon episodes, the other was the Nubian husband and wife episode
    I really liked how Homelander at first, genuinely seemed to want to be a hero and not actually hurt people but then the moment one thing went wrong it started the downward spiral he is still in by the time of the live action show
    It really highlights his fragile mental state that was caused by his horrific childhood that we saw glimpses of here
    Homelander may be a despicable villain but there are moments where you can't help but feel both sympathy for him for what he's been through and empathy so you understand why he is what he is and does what he does.
    He's still a villain, not even one of those villains that you semi root for like Pain from Naruto, not a likeable psycho like the Joker.
    Homelander is just an example of humanity's worst traits and he was created by other people to be that way.
    Homelander is humanity's karma reflected back on itself and that's why he's one or my favourite villain ever
