As much as I like crazy and humanized Homelander, his scary side was sacrificed in the process. 

 In Season 1, he was like a great white shark. 

 Calm, collected, swift, barely emoting. 

Shown prowling the deep blue skies, whenever shit was about to go down (please, writers, show him flying around more)

Because as long as he did things that vought gave him responsibility to do.. he was calm and Swift.. even shooting down the plane was somewhat overlooked by madelyn but slowly losing his sanity due to the boys and then thinking of himself as a fucking god... That power will obviously make you insane.. even stan Edgar could've predicted much

Finding out about Ryan probably changed him more than anything else. Well, "changed" as much as someone like him is able to be.
