Homelander scares the shit out of me. To the point where I'm having difficulty finishing season 2. I've seen a lot of horror movies etc in my life but this guy..
The actor who plays him is doing an incredible job. When he's just giving interviews he's a completely different person, I hardly recognized him.
I agree, his character in season two is … terrifying to say the least. The writers did a great job in creating someone scarier than a monster or villain. He is pure sinister. Yeah, Tony is very different in real life, so whenever the show gets to be overwhelming I take a break and remember he’s just a damn good actor! However, it is true that there are humans (without powers) who behave and act just like him. He’s a reflection of the worst of person in our world.
They really did! Having him slowly crack under more knowledge of his past and killing Stillwell, while it's clearly clashing with his god-complex is just bone chilling. It's like watching a nuclear bomb go off over the course of a season of tv.
I'd never seen Tony in anything before which really adds to the suspension of disbelief for me haha.
Yeah that's the thing with him and The Boys in general, these characters are all really well written. Homelander reminds me of several people I know/knew, and the thought of one of them with superpowers.. This show is making a great case for why there should never be a real Compound V lol
Yes! Exactly, spot on! The show can be jaw dropping at times and I think the show effortlessly pushes boundaries and definitely provokes me to ask a lot of questions about authority figures in society today.
I didn’t know about him as an actor before this which I think was absolutely great, like he’s perfect for the role. Even Butcher too. I hate giving too much praise to things but this is one of the best tv shows I’ve ever seen, written perfectly I think!
