So Homelander DID kill that poor family?

So how does the big reveal make him right then? He still murdered them when they literally did nothing wrong, nor was it a result of one of his weak spirit manchild outburst?
Yes, he didn't rape them, or ate, but still in the end he just straight up ruined one family for literally nothing.
Yeah, I think sometimes Ennis really doesn't really understands his own autism. And this is result of it.

>It really serves nothing but to tip fedora a little bit by Garth
So he's going to do it again

>make him right
Why the fuck would you assume that Ennis was trying to make Homelander right? What kind of a psycho are you?

because "Yes, I did all of that, so what" and "I don't remember doing any of that, oops it was actually by twin bro haha, my bad for believing in that i was capable of doing something like that and that's why I did the rest consciously haha, but at least no rape or eating babies"
Are different things.

Homelander is a complex character. He reminds me of the Ultimate version of Hyperion. He is trying to be a good person but he is alienated from humanity. He acts childishly because he has not experienced anything to mature him. Humans learn from their peers and Homelander has no peers, he is a true superhuman trying to behave the way humans think he should.
The photos his clone murdering people was gaslighting, driving him mad by making him doubt himself. And when he was driven mad he basically decided 'fuck it' and went on a rampage. When he came to the realization that he wasn't insane, that he didn't do those terrible things, he wanted to take back everything he had done but it was too late.
He is a tragic figure.

He was under the impression that he already did all that shit and beyond redemption, might as well go all the way

So would Butcher have been able to kill Homerlander?

I'd also say that Homelander is a complex and sympathetic villain despite Ennis intending him to be one dimensional. Much like Moore was horrified when he found out that people liked and related to Rorschach.

Yeah man, just as long as he had his trusty crowbar and awesome trenchcoat. so fucking cool!!!!

One thing the show is quite different about. in the Show Homelander is infantile narcissistic psychopath without half measures.

In the comic is an asshole but... and I'm not justifying him, in the comic he seems at least to try a bit to do some good. Fails, gets angry easily, but tries.

Butcher on the tv show he is even more cruel and obsessed. A hateful man from well before the super heroes, which he only uses as an excuse to unleash his anger. The way he treats his mates is chilling. In the comic no matter how obsessed he was not so cruel.

>I'd also say that Homelander is a complex and sympathetic villain
Only to the normies that watched the tv series

With Rorschach, the first impression is important. People see him killing some pedo and they think ‘hey, this guy seems pretty great, I like how he killed that pedo’ and the they naturally hold onto him and try to relate to him because of that first impression.

He's right though. Sure he was jerk but so were all superheroes. His decent into lunacy was engineered.

>not cruel in the comic.
>literally ripped out the toungue of thier child version of shazam
>threatened to kill his bosses children
>tortured and killed many people before ever joining the boys
Bro what the hell

you are right, but in the comic he is more respectful of his comrades and even in the final act you understand that it was all a complicated suicide. The butcher of the show gives me the impression of being even more cruel than Homelander. And on the show they tell you precisely that Buchter is using the hero and his wife excuse only to vent his desire for violence.
In the comics he beats assholes, but he seemed reasonable to me because his revenge is more focused as is his hatred

If someone took Homelander out of VA, and tried to raise him, however successfully or not, to be just better than he is now.

Nigga what. In the comics you've got him disembowelling people while having an out-of-body experience, because he's a complete fucking unhinged loony. Meanwhile show Butcher decided to stand between Homelander and Ryan after Ryan was the one who killed Becca. Comic butcher would have brained Ryan with the crowbar just to get back at Homelander and to kill the supe who killed his wife.

They might turn show Butcher into more of a monster, but so far he hasn't done fuck-all that's close to anything that comic butcher did.

So, until Homelander saw the pictures, he was an arrogant asshole, but not a psychotic murderer, but after seeing them, and not remembering having done them himself, he is so weak minded and cowardly that his response is "well I did that, I may as well do more". In comparison if you showed similar pics to superman, he would turn himself over immediately until his name was cleared.

I'm at a loss with Rorschach, he's the only hero who wouldn't compromise his morals or sense of justice, and had to be retconned into a racist to get people to dislike him.

He is a sociopath and a psychopath

He was a murderer even before before the photos but with a minimum of demeanor. he started behaving worse and worse when the murders of his clone started.

Thinking he was already crazy.

I don't see how that's making him right. Nor does it undo anything else he did, in fact that's the entire point of why Noir did it.

>He was a murderer even before before the photos but with a minimum of demeanor. he started behaving worse and worse when the murders of his clone started.
>Thinking he was already crazy.
that's just stupid

>He was a murderer even before before the photos

I don't think he was

>that's just stupid

Because? He was a jerk even before. He crashed the plane for incompetence in the comic too. Even if in the comics it's the whole team's fault

So why did he do this?

In the comics it's clear that Homelander's an idiot who panics when they fuck up the plane plan and drop Noir that was meant to pilot it etc. It all happens because he panics and then he fucks it up even more trying to fix his mistake. Because the comic was about showing how untrained superheroes would be fucking up in realistic situations.

In the show he's not panicking at all, he just fucks up and then immediately goes "well we can't let anyone live now because they'd knew we fucked up, so let's skedaddle".

They clearly changed the character for the show to make him more sociopathic from the beginning, partly so they could do the whole mommy issue story and probably partly because they're not doing the clone story with the baby-eating blackmail sending him crazy.

A convenient signal to gather the heroes without tipping off corporate to suspicious activity of everyone flying off together.

Does photoshop not exist in Homelander's universe?

No one tried to make him in the right.
He simply started to become more psycho every day since he thought to have killed those people when in reality was Noir.
He eventually started to believe he did and so acted like Noir wanted.

Butcher is more reasonable in the comics because you see more of his friendly side. Butcher reminds me of a few IRL psycho's I know. Very charming and charismatic as long as they are getting their own way. But it's clear if he wasn't fucking over supers he would find another target for his rage.

I like the comic and the twist is alright but it's definitely not worth the gushing over it gets on here and I'm glad they scrapped that whole plot for the show by making Homelander a psychopath from the outset

One of his teammates on The Seven is even a shapeshifter. It's just another one of those little retarded things, like Noir being an exact clone of Homelander and all that every stopped anyone from discovering that was a flimsy cloth mask covering his face, and I guess the fact that Homelander's x-ray vision wouldn't allow him to see facial features.

>Does photoshop not exist in Homelander's universe?

The Boys is a very naughties comic, photoshop good enough to create realistic fakes wasn't around then. I have never seen a comic become dated as fast as the boys. It's historical milieu is very specifically post 9/11 America.

user, why do you know more than one psycho?

The point is that he's not sure whether he did it or not. The issue is not the photoshop bit, it's:
> "I've thought about - But it's not possible, is it?"
> "Did I ALREADY do it?"
> "...Fuck."
