A - train, bro is the funniest to watch when he is just doing his own thing. Honestly the only times I get mad at Homelander is when he literally physically attacks people when doing their own thing (like my boy black noir was just recovering and Homelander like damn I can't let that slide)
To me, what makes Homelander such a compelling character is that he's as much of a victim as he is a victimizer. Making him have distain for normal people because he was never shown any empathy in his childhood makes his actions almost understandable. I know that his character is slightly tweaked for the Amazon series than in the comics to make him more nuanced to carry a long running series, but Homelander's suffering just as much as the people he hurts because of Vought's decision to raise him "like a lab rat." How do you expect someone who have any empathy for those he saves when he was never shown it in the first place? Homelander is much of a tragic character as he is an antagonist.
Supreme power corupts , i have no doubt that any from here , that will grow as him and then have all his power , wont be the same. You have the power of a god and nobody can stop you, in any real world thats how somebody will act . Its very rare for somebody to have the character of superman or other heroes " just for justice" especialy when people will.not fully apreciate you
Homelander is a perfect villain because the creators of The Boys made sure you are constantly worried about the next time he will lash out and hurt/torture/maim/kill someone. Whenever somebody is in the room with him, they are always on eggshells because they know he could kill them as soon as he gets upset, unless you're exceptionally manipulative like Billy Butcher or Stan Edgar. This is so relatable because this kind of character represents every toxic, abusive person out there who holds power over others and hurts them over any little provocation or mistake or simply because they feel like it. When you create a villain you are terrified of without yourself being a character in the story who is at risk, that is when you have successfully created a perfect villain.
I love that no matter how many videos on Homelander you may watch, there is always another one that furthers how terrifying he is, and saw just another wrinkle in his complex character. In an era where so many villains offer up no real stakes to the story, you can always count on Homelander to deliver not only an incredible scene, but push the stakes further every time he is on camera.
Honestly, The Boys seems to be like the 'Iron Man' of the late 2010s/ early2020s(the series released in 2019), it did something unique and revolutionary in a similar way that Iron Man 2008 did, similar to how Iron Man deconstructed the X-Men Franchise, The Boys deconstructed the MCU, DCEU, and just a majority of characters in the superhero genre, to have a fresh take on them.
@@MovieF8better would require him to own up to the things hes done and understand he is not a god, that his public image obsession is just copium, and that his current ideals are just a product of what vought has taught him combined with trauma. And just fundamentally change his core values. In other words hed probably have to have his ego shattered, get humbled immensely and go through the most intense supernatural therapy session that puts tyr from god of war to shame. Sadly unlikely to happen in his environment.
Homelander went through all the possible characteristics of a character, he was scary, funny, pathetic, strange, dramatic, intelligent, dumb, strong, weak...There were several memes, and its quality as Antony Starr's performance is worthy of awards 🗿🍷.
@@user-yi9hz3or2t omni man is just as villainous but difference is he was born and raised that way. Homelander chooses to be villainous. But if omni man went all out villain he'd be the more devastating and more difficult to beat. Switch their roles and you'd see the vast difference. Omni man would body anyone from The Boys and homelander would get destroyed by Atom Eve
What scares me the most in Homelander, its that hes so unpredictable. He can smile at you poke a little fun at you and 10 sec later squash your head against the wall or laser you in half😮
A sociopath is someone who manipulates and is usually high intelligence, and someone who can read people like a book. Homelander is the one who’s always getting manipulated. He’s a malignant narcissist not a sociopath
Just to compare Soldier Boy to Honelander, Soldier Boy is stronger, mentally and physically, don't care about people opinion, but his strong mental made him less unpredictable and less subject to emotion breakdown. Homelander is emotionnally unstable, more caring about is image, manipulative, use a lot of intimidation, that make him more dangerous and maybe a better villain. He's Broken. What's unexpected is that he shouldn't have the support he got
This is just some Starlighter propaganda! Everyone knows Homelander is a hero! 😛 No but seriously, this is really well put together and Antony Starr deserves all the props in the world for breathing life into such a terrifying villain
It would have been great to see the filmography examples to each point as you went to highlight traits, how he was moulded, how that has caused him to seek validation, love, connection yet it never feel enough due to its lack of authenticity in such a brutal capitalist world that doesn’t create genuine relationships but manufacture them
That's legitimately how politics works. A person advertises himself as a representative of the majority even if they are more than willing to stuff that most wouldn't agree on. What should we expect?
*Villain in any T.V. series or a movie does or gets something a little bit out of norm* TH-cam Essayists: "It's the best thing that I have ever seen!" Beloved public figures or superheroes turning out to be a facade of themselves is a trope for gods-knows-how-long. The only thing that separates Homelander from most characters that this trope applies to, is the fact that we really get to explore his character from the his birth to his psyche. Even then, he's not the only one like this and it's not like something that you particularly focused on (referring to his psyche), you just kind of mentioned it in passing.
He's not the craziest. He's just the strongest of the crazy people. The joker is the craziest villain of any generation bc he does things for absolutely no reason but a laugh, whereas Homelander has various motivations, however petty. See: nuking Metropolis in injustice just to piss Superman off just to piss Batman off, knowing he wouldn't live to enjoy the aftermath.
Homelander oder Anthony Starr ist der beste Superheld oder Charakter, man stellt sich die frage was wäre wenn Superman nicht der wäre für den man ihn hält? Für mich einer der besten Charakter in den letzten 50 Jahren. MAn sieht wie er mit sich kämpft um emotionen und eigentlich auch der Held sein will aber er kann es nicht. wow
I think The Boys has Destroyed Marvel. since infinity war fans have been loving Thanos more and The boys did the perfect job making the Villans the main characters hope they don't go woke
🤔Villain of this Generation, actually Wong Homelander was based off a TV series character called SYLAR for the Series Heroes about 15 years before the BOYS TV Show, So was Homlander a ripoff of Sylar knowing Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg probably yes...

@MusicLovet-my6fo You are correct!💯 I feel like many often forget things like this…
Homelander has severely unmanaged BPD, I manage mine but if I didn't and had superpowers, I'd be just like him.

Is that the case for many founders of terrorist groups and even dictator
Homelander is a fantastic villain Anthony Starr plays this character to absolute perfection.
One of the most messed up things he did was to destroy the ears of the blind super hero for no reason
American psycho in a superhero suit
Exactly
Anthony Starr plays him so well it makes me think he may actually be a psychopath in real life.
He is not the hero we need, he is the hero we deserve right now...
damn…
Too political
"He is perfect, perfect, everything, down to the last minute details."
Anthony Starr....cursed with resting homicidal face.
I feel so bad for Becca everything she didn’t want Ryan to go through he’s going through now we have a homelander 2.0 in the making

I don’t think that “We carve a super villain” is a universal mind sync.
imagine a Homelander that had already lived and fought for 1500 years like Omni-Man
@user-fd2ce5qo5c lol yes, and I wonder if his personality would get better or worse

The real question is, why did you "enhance" his face on the thumbnail?
this video feels like a fever dream where he just says the same thing over and over but worded differently
Perfect down to the last minute detail
He plays homelander so good I cant help but think anthony isn’t as great of an actor as we think, instead he naturally falls perfectly in place
What scares me the most in Homelander, its that hes so unpredictable. He can smile at you poke a little fun at you and 10 sec later squash your head against the wall or laser you in half😮
Antony Starr is one of the most skilled actors I've seen if not the most he's mastered his facial expressions
He is realistic which makes him villain says enough about society
I think its between omni man or homelander. Both are amazing i like both
Homelander is more unpredictable and hes has funny jokes sometimes
Thragg and Plutonian are more evil than them
my top 3 villians homelander,reverse flash,anakin
A sociopath is someone who manipulates and is usually high intelligence, and someone who can read people like a book. Homelander is the one who’s always getting manipulated. He’s a malignant narcissist not a sociopath
Although Homelander is a super powerful sociopath, Omni Man wipes the floor with Homelander.
A thousand percent! They shouldn’t even be compared! A lab rat vs heir to Viltrum
Its about who is the better villain not who is stronger
@@user-yi9hz3or2t sure buddy
Multi city block level vs moon level
The homelander art thumbnail is actually handsome af
Whyd you yassify his face in the thumbnail
Homelander is no more Craziest Villain but is Insane Brutal and Mad Villain in all time
Thragg is worse
Anthony star is one of the most underrated actors of our time
All the actors are beyond good across the board but Anthony stands out more than Joffery when it comes to convincing us of their acting

That thumbnail caught me off guard not gonna lie. Had to triple glace at it.

Homelander is the next Walter White
Just to compare Soldier Boy to Honelander, Soldier Boy is stronger, mentally and physically, don't care about people opinion, but his strong mental made him less unpredictable and less subject to emotion breakdown. Homelander is emotionnally unstable, more caring about is image, manipulative, use a lot of intimidation, that make him more dangerous and maybe a better villain. He's Broken. What's unexpected is that he shouldn't have the support he got
Plutonian is crazier, hell even Thragg
Nice audio levels
Hey man, why copy whole sections of The Closer Look's video about Homelander?
Bro is unpredictable and diabolical
This is the most perfect perfect villain ever I would really watch this compared to any Superhero movies which suck
Now, I think about it. He perfectly embodies a character of an American government.
Nice vid
@jimmyjohn272 Thank you so much!
Homelander is the best hero we’ve had since Thanos. Everyone who thinks Homelander is a villain is anti-American.
Why does the thumbnail look like that💀💀
Anthony is amazing
Homelander is literally me
This guy is so evil that he killed his own actor, Antony Starr, while growling that he doesn't need him!

Hes not your typical superhero you mean.
Homelander is not sociopath, sociopath no have emotions.
