We kind of got this already with A-Train glumly admitting he needed a chauffeur because he had never driven a car before.

it's only racist if you do it racistly in your mind on purpose

There is a difference between Homelander 'Drop some slurs in as a little bonus, before throwing off a person off a skyscraper if they're a PoC or LGBTQ+" vs Stormfront where racism is the end goal and point of what they do. Despite the Trumpisms they added this seas because Bush 2006 was too dated (they didn't fit the character at all) Homelander is a racist but it's run off and incidental to the type of monster he is. If Stormfront was a hot Zionist or Wahhabist, he still would have fallen 'in love' with her and tepidly went along with her ideology before it was made clear at the end of the day it didn't revolve entirely around him.

That is true but also, at the end of the day, what’s the difference? His motivations are different and the path he takes to get to that place are different and that can be interesting to compare and contrast, but ultimately does it matter in the grand scheme of things?

Because I think we do run the risk of splitting hairs a bit

E: and I say this as someone who’s made the posts about where Stormfront and Homelander differ so I get the appeal of that conversation

Actually, I respectfully disagree with you there. For as obviously flawed as this game is, there ARE a lot of really good things about it. The presentation and atmosphere, for example, are the most immediate things. No other Yu-Gi-Oh game goes out of the way to really make
I would say, if nothing else, Homelander is definitely ableist—shown by his interactions with Blindspot & A-Train.

Disabilities of all kind are disgusting to him—which'd make him especially scary to anyone with Asperger's Syndrome or some-such. He'd just take one look at, say, my brain, and exploit every bit of isolation and shame they feel.

Your move, creep.



All the discussion about Homelander as Superman made me think about one of the biggest differences between them, Homelander has no secret identity he's just always Homelander.

It would be kinda funny if they released the tape of the flight and Homelander snapped and wiped out an entire city and then just disappeared. We'd get to see everybody dealing with the aftermath and trying to figure out where he went.

Then at the end of the episode we see Homelander dye his hair black and put on some glasses and go to a job interview and the interviewer is like "Have we met before you look really familiar?"

I'd previously mentioned that I thought it would be funny to see him try to deal with being unpowered and in prison, but I think it'd be even funnier to see him still powered and trying to deal with the indignity of working with people who don't fear him. Just constantly on the verge of snapping over every tiny slight.

He would definitely end up killing everybody before lunch on his first day.

In the grand scheme of things it does, because the difference between them is that Stormfront eventually wanted to be outed as FemNazi but after she got America more used to being white supremacist feminists but Homelander getting actually cancelled on Twitter, with most PoC and women hating him would actually break his brain and even now is something he is trying to avoid as his main goal with him; he's just currently partly doing it by reminding every Supe who pushes him that he'll just destroy the United States in 24 hours if they dox him or whatever. He legit wants to be the White Guy who Can Say It and widely popular with the woke teens, as well as the popular Dark Web Intellectual Guy, NOT Kyle Rittenhouse on the talk show circuit. Being revealed as a bigot is what is going to do him in at the end of this season probably, basically.

It's something I think Starr realizes but the writers don't because they're still writing an evil Trumpy Superman but he realizes how deeply narcissistic is. He can adapt, though poorly; Homelander is more Obama than Trump, but the people making this show are libs so...


EDIT: I agree this has been talked about enough though, and I'm just wondering where they're going with Solider Boy, because there is an element of humanity with him as opposed to Homelander

One that NutritiousSnack didn't make. They're saying that Homelander was attracted to Stormfront not because she was specifically a Nazi or a white supremacist but because she was an extremist with an ideology that deemed a certain group of people to be the elite. That's an ideology he shares, but the "certain group of people" is supes. (You can argue that it's actually just him, but the natural end point of fascism victorious is the fascists turning on each other until only one fascist remains; each fascist sees all the others as useful up to that point.)

I, uh, didn't? I said Homelander is attracted to extremists, but is ultimately going to get angry at them when it's clear their ideology stops revolving around him and instead what he can do 'for the cause'

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.
