How many times can they restate the same thing? That article is absolute trash.

Probably the same amount of times that people need to be told that homelander is an irredeemable piece of shit that does not get to have a redemption arc.

But there I go repeating the same thing yet another time.

He is evil, no amount of comparison to Jesus or Superman will make him worthy of a second, third, or fourteenth chance.

I somehow ended up on another article and my comment wasn't directed at this one. My mistake.

I'd argue it was bad (outside of writer's strike levels of shitty plot) because they made Homelander's pivot to deity shit too obvious ... which ... really makes one wonder how these clowns that think he's redeemable think ... or more accurately, don't think.

The shows ending is still leagues better than the comics ending

it started in s4, when he started the diefying. im guessing because kripke showrunned supernatural for a while, i suspect he took some elements there. i heard jensen ACKLES used it as a promotion for vought rising or something in the end?, he doesnt seem to have a good track record as far as his roles go.

That's because the comic was edgy homophobic trash.

I think they started trying to make it more and more obvious that homelander is supposed to be the bad guy, because viewers were continuing to side with him despite how awful he is
