So what exactly did you mean by this:

Also, I didn't say a defense of the show. I'm talking about defending their position, because you don't seem to get it either.

Yea, yea as in reference to this is why this happened. They felt their message went over a bunch of people's heads so they are more completely on the nose with it now. It's echoed by Starr's interviews and comments on Homelander.
[Reply]

And yet people STILL love Homelander and are watching mostly because he's one of the greatest villains in TV history.

So do you agree with me that they're dumb for not understanding how any of this works?
[Reply]

The show isn't as good as it use to be, they're far more focused on telling a bunch of people that watch that show "you're dumb for thinking this character rules"

It was like they decided we infantilized him in season 1, in season 2 we had him fuck a literal Nazi and people still think he's great...so fuck it we're gonna make him Trump to tell all these people they suck.

It's made the show worse in all reality.
[Reply]

And it hasn't succeeded in making people hate Homelander either. If anything, they should've leaned into it.

Bro i watch for Butcher and Homelander period
[Reply]

100%.

That's why I couldn't care less about Frenchie's new bf who's family he killed storyline, or Hughie's mom coming back into his life storyline.

I'd argue that Jeffrey Dean Morgan's character is the third most interesting this season, and he's new with little to no screen time so far.
[Reply]

Yep.

Butcher is my favorite. He dominates every scene he’s in.

Urban is a fantastic actor.
[Reply]

He's my personal favorite as well, but Homelander is still the best character on the show.
[Reply]

Agreed.

But man, that whole sequence was dark as fuck. And I can't lie.....I'm really looking forward to what Homelander does next now that he's had that huge episode of catharsis.
[Reply]

Homelander is definitely the best character on the show, though Soldier Boy was a great show stealer. Is he returning at all? I love me some Jensen Ackles.
[Reply]

Soldier Boy loves his cocaine and grandmas. :-)

Another awesome character.
[Reply]

His arc was so good, as in he didn’t change once since you met him. He’s always a piece of shit. The motivations for how you want to see that season play out into making him the bad guy. But he never changed
[Reply]

What did happen with Soldier Boy, anyway? Last thing he did was fall out the high rise while making Maeve human, right? They just put him back on ice?

And I agree. Ackles killed that role. His interactions with Homelander were some of the best scenes in the show thus far.
