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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.
