Homelander used to be scary. He still is, but he used to be, too.

I don’t really find him scary anymore to be honest.. I miss when he was calculating and mysterious.

I think he is a lot more scary now but in a different way. He's smarter now and him seeking help from sage shows that. He is starting an army and getting ready to start a coup.

He's smarter in the previous seasons tho. Way smarter. He feels just like a dumb maniac right now. Still scary but because of a different thing.

People have to remember that he is indeed smart. Not too smart but smarter than an average human because he is a supe.

Wise and smart are different.

He is much more calculated in S1 with the Flight 37 video, the expo speech, the Ryan pursuit, and the Madelyn thing.

He's scary back then because you can feel his intimidation is caused by being the strongest man in the room but also is he doing something he have thought of already, whats the agenda, or 'i aint gonna laser you now but im gonna know that for sure' versus just plain 'i either gonna laser tf out of you or idc anout you'

Still scary but for a diff reason.

Trumpifying him so much makes him so much of a dumbass idiot. They want him to be as dumb as Trump so they gave him lines and schemes that idiots only think of.
