But yeah, Stan's not making it to the end of the show and it will almost certainly be by Homelander's hands.

Maybe Homelander will laser off half his face.

I really do hope that the final season, whichever one that ends up being, has Homelander going full Irredeemable and everyone else on the show having to team up to take him down.

"Irredeemable" as in the comic Irredeemable, in which the Superman-esque main character snaps and starts committing mass murder

I would consider “raping a woman and forcing her to carry the baby to term and then spend the rest of your life in a militarized Twilight Zone hellhole while I fly around literally sawing planes in half with my mind and loving Nazis” is irredeemable, in that I would not want to redeem Homelander after hearing about those crimes!

This is so funny to me because Antony Starr was retweeting this story about how some guy dressed as Homelander for Halloween ran into a burning building to save a kid from being killed and everyone was like “wow a real hero... wait who is Homelander?”

And you can't really bully someone without any fear of you. Either Stan is just ice cold or he has something up his sleeve should Homelander get out of hand, either he was Stan didn't flinch and in fact scolded Himelander that really unsettled him.

To be fair, Vought is the one that had her bring the baby to term and then cooped her up in that facility. So Homelander is only a nazi-loving serial killer rapist.

It's interesting that even though the show ratchets back a lot of the ridiculous Ennis poo poo they actually made Homelander worse on the show because in the comic he didn't actually rape Butcher's wife. Though maybe it balances out with only The Deep raping Starlight since in the comic A-Train and Homelander join in.

Lol you idiots think I'm reading comics?? The Boys was recommended to me by a child who skateboards and plays Fortnite.

Also this show went from pushing conservatism (a two-parent household produces better children; a child raised without at least a mother is destined for perversion) to a a neoliberal wet dream (two men raise a differently abled child)

I wonder if Neuman could explode Homelander's head. So far the implication has been that even if everyone teamed up against him his powers are so immense they couldn't even come close, but if she could pulp his brain without even breaking the skin she could be the only person who could get him

I imagined that Edgar had access to a counter for each superhero, whether it's another supe that can kill them, bomb implants, hypno-imprinting, etc...even if Homelander doesn't know exactly what Voight would do to stop him, I can only imagine he would try to avoid that.

Homelander knows exactly what Vought would do- they would paint him as a villain.

That's why he wouldn't kill Edgar.

Above all else Homelander wants to be loved, adored, not feared- he wants to be seen as the good guy.

Vought provides him with all that. The videotaped PR bad guys he gets to bring in, the good press on Vought News Network, the PR teams erasing any bad press before it can get out.

There's no chance the showrunners will go with a "it wasn't actually rape, she lied because reasons" dodge in the future, is there?

No because what McSpanky said and also the reason he didn't rape her in the comic is that someone else did and Butcher thought it was Homelander.

Yeah that's more or less what I was trying to say in a poorly worded way, Homelander has undoubtedly seen multiple supes go down due to Vought and he believes fully they could do him too

Reading this right after the comment about The Boys turning into a sitcom made me think you were asking if Wayne Knight could give Homelander a stroke just by being creepy enough.
