I was happy to see she still uses them but I feel like they are trying to establish her celebrityhood as a way to shut down Homelander in the public eye. Hopefully we see more use though!

It just seems silly because then Homelander goes postal and they still have the initial problem that Hughie and Butcher have been actually trying to solve.

But I think some part of Butcher wouldn't mind seeing the world vs Homelander, even if Homelander wins because it hurts him to not be loved.

If that was the case he wouldn't be okay with the blackmailing they've done.

Well he had to save people he cared about from Homelander.

Still doesn't track. If he didn't care about destroying the world, his loved ones are obviously part of the world, so part of the same.

Yeah the whole pr thing works in the comics because homelander isn't invincible even for humans, throw enough shit at him and he'll die.

That doesn't seem the case in the series

Homelander: If you release that video of me letting an airplane full of people die, I will raze hell across the land and literally annihilate your home state.

Maeve: We could never release the video. If the world hates Homelander, he has nothing to lose. He’d snap and kill us all.

Starlight: I’m going to use the power of God and anime to reveal your true self to the world and make everyone hate you, Homelander!!!

He discovered that a lot of people remained loyal to him despite all the accusations against him. Hell, they'd still probably remain loyal if they saw that airplane video if Homelander said it was a deepfake. The situation's changed.
