Did you completely miss the scene at the race when he is basically grabbing Maeve’s face because he wants to coerce her into getting back together? |
Yes, there's also the fact that he's a callous psychopath. There are all kinds of serial killers - some who take sexual pleasure in demeaning/assaulting people, and others who simply think of it as a way to provide redemption for sinners like female sex workers or women who won't sleep with them. Homelander falls into the latter category. He is vicious, unfeeling, manipulative, and cold. The worst predator. |
PP here, and yes, that’s exactly it. He has a history with Maeve and knows how far he can push her, but he wouldn’t actually force her, even though he physically can. It’s an ego thing for him, and it doesn’t help his ego if he forces a woman into sex. I think next season he’s going to try to play the family man in an attempt to heal his childhood wounds- he didn’t get familial love as a child so he’ll try as a father- and he will go berserk when it doesn’t work out. |
I'm curious as to how Becca Butcher will handle him...if at all. Her son is clearly Homelander duplicated - so he has the same powers and he already idolizes him. Will Homelander live up to that? Will Becca let her son be enraptured by him? She obviously didn't teach him to be wary of superheroes. |
Um, that was the point -- he sexually assaulted women and then it happened to him. |
I get that. But A-Train ran through a poor woman, Homelander killed a plane load of people, and stretch boy is a homophobic hypocrite. It would be just as bad if they shut Starlight up in a windowless cave with no access to light for the rest of her light. Putting him in flyover with no water access just seemed wrong. |
| Not to mention deeply stupid as they could have used his talents elsewhere. |
He does have water access, he’s by Lake Erie. They didn’t put him out there because he did something they thought was immoral, they put him out there because he became a liability to the company. They could cover up the plane; they can’t cover up him stealing a dolphin from a corporation that paid a lot of money to have his endorsement. |
Didn't he roll his eyes at its mention? He's called 'The Deep'. Meaning he can dive as deep as the Marina Trench. Lake Erie is a pond. |
He can swim and talk to fish. With modern diving and sonar equipment, those aren’t very useful skills. |
He stole a single dolphin from SEAWORLD omg, marshal the troops. Please. Maybe if he had conjured a wave to drown an entire town - sure. Seaworld lost one of half a dozen trained aquatic rats? No. |
He still gets water. He’s still getting paid, free to do what he wants, and even gets per diem. If he doesn’t like it he can quit the 7 and life his life elsewhere. The only possible argument against his transfer is that those gills are punishment enough. |
The sexual assaulter can talk to the bass in the Sandusky River. |
The dolphin died as a direct result of his actions. Also, I think he’s been having sex with aquatic mammals. |
Modern diving and sonar equipment is pretty useless. Human divers can only go so far down and are mostly used for recovering dead bodies. As for our sonar equipment? The less said the better. Anything not in the hands of the military is useless. It took them 16 months to find the wreckage of Air France Flight 447 when they had clear flight tracking data and knew exactly where it went down. They still haven't found Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. |
