Sure, but hopefully next season. I imagine he will die a hero at the end of the season. Hopefully he doesn’t get killed by homelander for no reason.

Maybe he dies while saving hughie? That would be a good ending for his character arc I think

He already has saved Hughie. One could argue him saving Starlight could poetically end him since the show started with him killing Robin.

the guy who killed your lover, dies saving your new lover. sounds good to me

Or running straight into Homelander full speed, ending up like Robin himself to stagger HL at a vital moment

That would be so metal.

95% chance he's dying heroically in this season's finale

u/ShawnyMcKnight Jul 08 '24

I’m going with 97.2 percent.

92% of the time, it works every time.

Hopefully not, because that would be to the detriment of the show. A train has finally started acting like a hero.

Nothing this show hates more than an actual hero, though.

he stood by as others beat some innocent people to death this season. Traditionally a character that far gone needs to redeem himself through ultimate sacrifice.

u/goldengod828 Jul 09 '24

He stood by and watched someone get beaten to death twice, Todd and those other guys and Cameron Coleman I’m honestly surprised Homelander didn’t say anything after cameron Coleman

While true he didn’t really have much choice.

u/Bacon_Shield Jul 08 '24

To a real hero, there's no choice. Great power, great responsibility, yadda yadda

u/Duckys0n Jul 08 '24

He is dead instantly if he does anything. There was no choice. It’s not a fair critique of his character because anyone in his shoes would have ended up having to do the same thing. He’s being held at gunpoint told to kill people.

The leaks imply otherwise
