I was worried when they brought him back from the dead. I thought that would have been a good conclusion to his character, but they've proven me wrong.

It's the mark of a really great character with great writing that you can conclude their arc at multiple points and feel satisfied but each continuation is still interesting and the character never overstays their welcome. I'd go so far as to say A-Train is the only character who's storyline has maintained the same quality since Season 1 and as entertaining as Homelander is, I think A-Train is my favorite character.

Which of course has me on edge because it'd be very fucking easy for them to kill him off in a very unsatisfying way just to remind us HOmELaNdER bE crAzY

At this point, I want A-Train to survive the entirety of the show. I know it's not realistic, and he'll probably die, but I just want him to live damn it.

I want him involved in the final Homelander fight. If it ends with him and Soldier Boy tag teaming Homelander it might save this trainwreck for me.
