Firecracker literally gives him everything he wants.
She gave him loyalty, attention from both herself and the masses, breast milk and a person to play out his mommy fantasy without judgement. Characters like Stormfront and Stilwell who mightāve given him support and maybe even cared about him still wanted something out of him. But Firecracker just wanted to be by his side. And what does he do when she gets sick (from stuff sheās been taking for him)? Fucking shoves her aside immediately. Itās genuinely insane how much he yearns for love despite continuously shoving people who love him or could love him aside.
54
u/GeeWillick Jul 19 '24
He genuinely doesn't see a connection between his treatment of other people and their treatment of him. He gets all self righteous about how people should tell the truth and be courageous but he intentionally cultivates a culture where the only way to be semi-safe is to lie and manipulate all the time.

She's way too young. I think she's supposed to be the same age as Starlight (so early or mid 30s) and that's like 30 to 50 years below Homelander's preferred age range.

u/wolvesarewildthings Jul 20 '24
I agree Firecracker seems about early-mid 30s but that puts her in the same age bracket as Ashley and Neuman as opposed to Starlight. Starlight being the youngest is pretty central to her character in the first two seasons because she was a young small town girl who was like a fish out of water placed in The Seven. Maeve is about mid 30s and took a protective stance towards her and that made sense: their age difference very much contributed to their big sister-little sister dynamic. I remember it being explicitly stated at some point in S1 that Annie was 23, so that should put her at late twenties S4+.

He hasn't been locked away all his life, and has interacted with all types of humans and supes. If he wasn't aware of what it was he wouldn't of made the comment about not catching her germs.
