Do you think Homelander in the Amazon series "The Boys" is going to die and how?

No. Antony Starr is their money-maker. I don't even like Homelander that much, but EVERYONE gushes over the actor's acting performance. It's like, this is is big come-up in Hollywood.

Having known The Boys comic books, I will say the show does SOME things far, far better than the comics, like making Homelander nuanced, and semi-intelligent, instead of JUST being a manchild and nothing more. I think this is the actor's doing. Instead of Homelander being just a manchild and a bratty boy in an adult body, instead he's emotionally scarred and grew up without love or family (I can relate).

Furthermore, he grew up without love or family in an evil mega-corporation like Vought and had to take orders his whole life, despite being powerful enough to kill them all. All things considered, Homelander really isn't that bad. He just needs a proper therapist and a good friend.

One thing the show gets VERY wrong though, is its politics, which is sometimes bordering on woke. They try to make it seem like they attack both sides, but it's more like 80% mocking conservatives (in a very malicious, mean-spirited way as if NO good conservatives exist), and 20% mocking liberals/Progressives, but not even doing that because they're really more-so mocking corporatism, not the actual nonsense coming from the woke left. Also, the comic never had any of this Current Year, Reddit/Twitter, political bullsh*t in it, at all.

All the political sh*t is likely because Amazon likely is making them cram politics into the show. Amazon has woke agendas and guidelines every show has to abide by, like 1/3rd of the characters have to be queer, half have to be non-white, 51% have to be female, and so on. The Boys is not full blown woke, but it's not unbiased or in the middle, either. Things like making Maeve gay, making A-Train a fake activist after all the evil BS he's done, implying the only stupid everyday people in their universe are conservatives/right-leaning, having MM's daughter's stepfather look like the biggest balding, early 40s, weak, effeminate liberal in the world, but also paradoxically implying he's a conservative Q-anon nut-job who's hero is a borderline white nationalist psychopath like Homelander... The political pandering in the show kills a lot of its quality. And the sad thing is, soyboys love it.

Short answer: No, they won't kill off of de-power Homelander. The show will have nowhere else to go if they do that. The writers aren't that clever.

Sooner or later he will die. It will be in some sort of violent explosion.

Thanks for the MHO😎

I don’t know how but I think Butcher will kill him. I don’t think it will be Soldier Boy, though he could be a distraction.


I’ve read comic reviews that talk about him being killed by Omni-Man and/or Black Noir. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[MCheetah]

Omni-Man is from "Invincible" and both Omni-Man and Homelander are just evil versions of Superman. Also, in the comics (spoiler alert)
Black Noir is Homelander's twin brother/clone. But not in the TVS how.
So what the hell are *you* talking about?

[DarkCarousel]

As I said, I’ve read comic REVIEWS that discuss the death of Homelander by either of those two.

Did you see the “shrugging” emoji? That indicates that I don’t have certainty over the matter.

If you’re here to discuss this with experts, you’re are in the wrong place. Don’t begrudge me the opportunity for the opportunity for enjoyable, speculative conversation.

[MCheetah]

I think you got the terminology wrong then. Not comic reviews, but "What If" fights. Those two aren't in the same comic, so the people you're talking about were probably just using their imagination.

SHUSH! I don’t have Amazon prime!
