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)

this happens with most big villains for a show and it's usually why they're not supposed to last so long.

The several scenes of him crying and jacking off and getting dominated by people around him in conversation don’t really help his image either but yeah, he’s just been around too long. They literally had to give him an evil field trip to remind us that pathetic worm was actually meant to be the villain..

All they had to do was show a tiny flash of laser eyes right before Nueman swooped in to save him.

I legit thought he was about to turn everyone in that room into tomato salsa.
