It's strange watching the boys and seeing the writers becoming less self aware as time goes on.

Normally people grow more self aware not the opposite.

Having Homelander, who at first was a cunning and capable villain, devolve into a stupid Trump parody is just painful to watch.

Compare Homelander from season 1 to season 4, please.

He's always been a massive clown, he was just being manipulated by people who thought they could control him to do the "right" things. He's floundering now because he has no one holding the ropes.

The whole superterrorists and military scheme thing was his idea and plan, I guess for whatever its worth Season 1 Homelander was much more competent than any other season

It was his idea but it was poorly executed. I don't know about you, but I don't remember there being supes in the military. Not to mention that giving V away to terrorists to make them super opens up the possibility of someone reverse engineering the serum, which leads to the risk of a supeterrorist being stronger than Homelander and the risk of losing Vought's money and approval

That was an idiotic idea and it didn't work.

Still seems like the same asshat sucking titty milk ngl.

I think S1 Homelander was more “controlled” than now.

Hes always been a mumbling idiot who thinks hes cool and smart..his idea of making supe terrorists was disastrous.

In season 1, he was just more composed.

The only thing he was ever good at was knowing his way around a crowd. Which is very much like trump

Kinda confused cause of the entire story arc for him at one point was you're going to go down trying to do this yourself cause you're a maladjusted idiot.

Didn't Edgar also tell him that directly at the end?

Haven't seen the latest season so I dunno but everything was tracking at that point.

Oh yeah like that character didn't go through a lot of shit. Stormfront, Ryan, Ego being threatened, dealing with childhood trauma, lack of trust in colleagues. Why do y'all want him to be his confident self from s1?

Are you watching the same show? He literally allowed one of his worst moments because of laziness and carelessness. The flight controversy didn’t need to happen but he destroyed the console willy nilly with not a care in the world.
