Maturing is realizing Homelander was never the villain
He was a victim of a cruel system
>>
maturing is not caring about capeslop

>>220805950
You know it's possible to be both
>>
>>220805950
One of the most common origins of a villain is them being a victim
>>
>>220805950
victim and villain are not mutually exclusive

maturing is realising that the boys is a show for teenagers
guess you are not there yet OP

>I was treated bad as a baby therefore I can never be held accountable for anything I do for the rest of my life.
There are people who really think this. They're mostly in prison now thankfully.

Evil always stems from child abuse or trauma. All criminals are except a very few who were born with genetic mental illnesses.
>>
It would have been cool to see another supe be made this way but he developed the opposite personality to homelander

Like a nature vs nurture thing

He was mentally raped by his captors and handlers. I don't think we should blame children for allowing a program worse than MK Ultra for destroying them mentally.

that guy would basically be Michael Jackson with super powers I guess

A very U.S politician post.

there's nothing wrong with being a manchild with a titty milk fetish, the problem is being a psychopath who kills people because it annoys you when their heart beats too fast in your presence

>>220806087
Most of them wound up dead on the streets since they become addicts. Most people don't have resources nor education for therapy once they're abused especially at a young age.

And he's not human, they're under no liability or moral responsibility to treat him as a human, they're only responsible for not putting him down like a rabid misbehaved animal when he started showing signs of, well, rabid misbehaviour, and for that liability alone, everyone involved with the Homelander project should be prosecuted under some "You shall not create Frankensteins" principle

OP doesn't say a villain but the villain, and it's true. Homelander isn't the villain. The villain is Vought/the system which gets away scot free, but the show made by a megacorp very much like Vought doesn't want you to think too hard about that part.
>>
Why didn't the state do anything and put him down before hitting 18? He had no humanity left since they conditioned him that way and is very dangerous since he is their war machine.
>>
>>220805950
How much do you get paid for making these same threads everyday?
>evil capeshit man is victim of evil corporation.
>>
>>220806299
why didn't they implant a bomb in his brain stem that could explode his head at the push of a button if they ever lost control over him?
>>
Writers are stupid and were never challenged on why.

The child abuse he endured would make ANYONE insane. Libtards don't understand that because they're all raised in gated communities and grew up on easy mode.

>>220806321
Too easy for the enemy to hack into it should have been a code phrase that made him comply that was given to him early via hypnosis

That way homelander overcoming the mental block could be some big oh fuck event

That's not how it works. That's not why they do it. It's almost unexplainable to a person who hasn't been tortured as a child, like you. Just know you are wrong about why they do it. There are strange energies at work and we are all subject to their forces.

>>220806626
But one famous saying does come to mind:
"The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth"

this. in the comic it went homie<noir<butcher<vought but they only focus on homie in the show but then give him a crybaby backstory to make the audience feel bad for him
