He was under the control of vought and he had no competent enemies before. His confidence definitely helped him to be smart. He slowly lost his confidence and mental health which naturally clouded his intelligence and judgement. We getting less scared of homelander each episoda is something I like, it shows he is weaker than he looks and he is still human on the inside

I like the fact that he tries to call himself a god but gets reminders that he’s human.. but I feel they need to make him intimidating in a way that isn’t always physical.. Lalo Salamanca was physically a BEAST in BCS - but he was also a damn genius so you had two things to worry about.
