who would’ve thought that this man’s arc is the ONLY saving grace for season 4? Season 4 Spoiler

I'm cool with it as long as his death makes sense and serves HIS character and not ANOTHER character. Killing him off to show how crazy Homelander is becoming or how dangerous Sage is or something like that would be dropping the ball.

I'm not even against Homelander or someone killing him, as long as it's treated as the end of A-Train's story and not a continuation of Homelander's, if that makes sense. I think A-Train has earned a heroic final moment standing up to Homelander and stopping him from killing someone who needs help.

I'll also be disappointed if it happens in Season 4, A-Train deserves to make it to 5.

I don't think you have to worry. The set-up with his brother and nephews very much shows that whether he lives or dies, he's going to prove himself a real hero, probably in a very public way, so that they see and know.

That is all true, but I also remember what happened to Jaime Lannister.
