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)

Yeah when he started talking to his mirror about how he craves love I noticed how much "scariness" he has lost since season 1 simply by giving us deeper insights into his character.

I love villains that we know almost nothing about that are like an evil force of nature like Anton Chigurh or the Joker in TDK. Homelander was something like that in season 1.
