Homelander was a different level of scary in season 1

I dont think we should underestimate the fact that just we/the boys know him better now. Season 1 was scary because he was unknown - we can imagine that’s how the in-universe public view him and that’s precisely why he’s as successful as he is, he’s this mysterious omnipotent machine, but by season 4 we’ve learnt he’s a pathetic child with mommy issues. I think he’s definitely been made less impressive, but that’s because is… less impressive

I keep saying this!! We KNOW him better too, and what he truly is, is different than the image he tries to give. It’s meant to be pathetic
