The Boys Fans Came Up With Terrible Twist That'll Make Homelander Regret Being Born
What’s Homelander’s worst nightmare? Fans seem to know exactly what it is.
If you're not already a fan of the Amazon hit series The Boys ( in which case, what are you waiting for?), one of the most beloved and hated characters of the show is Homelander, who is like the Superman of this universe, only a bit twisted.
A Redditor recently stirred up a bit of a storm when they declared that our dear Homelander is on borrowed time. They referred to him as a "rabid dog" that ultimately has to meet its end. Can you imagine Homelander, the all-powerful, supposedly invincible figure, meeting his demise?
But the fan speculation didn't stop there. Oh no, it went even further down this dark and twisted path. Some fans thought it'd be an interesting twist to see our mighty Homelander stripped of his powers.
Imagine that for a moment, Homelander losing all his superpowers and becoming... ordinary. Just a regular man on the street.
What's even better is the idea of him getting thrashed by just some average folks. Picture this: Homelander, once feared and admired, gets schooled by the very people he looked down upon. It's a twisted sort of justice, isn't it?
Without his powers, would The Boys finally have their chance to take Homelander down? It's a juicy thought, isn't it? On one hand, they've wanted to put an end to his reign for a long time. But on the other hand, would they still want to go after a powerless Homelander?
Their actions often blur the line between right and wrong. This moral dilemma could be a potentially interesting storyline. Maybe the group would be even divided by this choice.
This could also be the perfect setup for a redemption arc for Homelander. Stripped of his powers, forced to confront his humanity, he might just find a way to make amends for his past actions. Or maybe not. With Homelander, you never really know.
This theory offers an interesting perspective on Homelander's arc. After all, wouldn't it be a fitting end for the narcissistic, power-hungry hero to be brought down to earth (quite literally) and face the reality of his own mortality?
