@E2theTHAN 4 месяца назад

They already tried this in the show and homelander told them he'd rather be loved then feared but if they ruin his reputation he has no problem being feared because he has nothing left to lose at that point. So I don't think it's his greatest weakness anymore....

@benwagner5089 4 месяца назад

At best, it might be a way to try to control him. Make his PR team into a bunch of fatalist "we're all going to die anyway" types who wouldn't be afraid of telling the world about the man behind the image. He still wants to be loved though he'd settle for being feared, and they'll give him the adoration platform he wants if he sticks to the script they lay down for him.

Yes his brand has also been tied to his weakness (severe psychological problems/narcissisism). His emotional and mental weakness and craving for adoration and love has been consistently the only thing short of tricking him that the protagonists and other villains have been able to exploit prior to S3

@NANOTECHYT 4 месяца назад

The actual way to beat Homelander is probably a supe like Mindstorm. Homelander might be physically strong, but his mind is clearly a weak point and just putting him in a constant nightmare seems like a sure fire way to defeat him. From there you can send him into the vacuum of space towards the Sun to perish.

@asiamarill 4 месяца назад

that was i thinking too when i watched that episode. Homelander can hear heartbeat and sense body temperature,that would be difficult. I mean the supe who can explode heads could take him out easily too,but she needs him for her own plans

@shivamjha5578 3 месяца назад

Nah , mindstorm could only stun sb for a few seconds and home lander is a far stronger supe so its not possible

@NANOTECHYT 3 месяца назад

@@shivamjha5578 It hasn't been shown that Mindstorm couldn't do it in his younger age. As Mindstorm got older, he could not manipulate other supes, only regular humans as his powers became less potent. However, when his powers were at their apex in his prime at a young age, he probably could, especially with how mentally unbalanced Homelander is. The fact that Soldier Boy was afraid of Mindstorm's powers, still tells you that he remembers his younger self being a threat to him personally. We also saw in Gen V that Cate could trap other supes in her mind, so again a supe like Mindstorm or Cate has a very real possibility of at least knocking Homelander out for a while, maybe long enough for another supe to either take away his powers like Soldier Boy can by blasting the Compound V out of him or by pushing him toward the sun out into the vacuum of space as Homelander still has to breathe and likely can't fly in space.

@GigaLigma 4 месяца назад

He doesn't just say that he'd be "fine with it," he goes so far as to say he's being held back by his reputation and that without it he'd have no reason to keep pretending to be a good guy. Almost implies part of him WANTS something to happen to his reputation so he doesn't have to behave anymore.

What I find interesting is that if you were to destroy homelanders brand, he would actually go farther off the deep end than he already has.

You could have theorized Hughie teleporting Homelander near the Sun and leaving him to be pulled in by it's immense gravity. Even if Homelander was able to break away from the gravity (highly doubtful), he wouldn't be able to breathe in space. Or Hughie can attempt to teleport himself inside of Homelander, essentially destroying everything in his body.

@thedoomslayer5863 3 месяца назад

The Second would be akin to putting yourself in a shrinking titanium cube. You'd be crushed to death. Inside out attacks won't work as he's just as durable in and out. Also if hughie even for milliseconds goes near the sun he will burn to a crisp. So it would be a self sacrifice attack

@WackMaDino 4 месяца назад

This is just kinda like a filler theory where he goes over a bunch of random stuff and tries to loop them together for a clickable video, it’s nothing new really he sorta has to put these out until the time comes for a bigger theory. Even still, the power scaling stuff in the first half of the video was good, I think he should do more stuff like that because he doesn’t really have to consider the wider context and story of the show to do fun calculations of how far man throw thing.

@jayb8934 4 месяца назад

This "weakness" is addressed in the show when Starlight threatens to blackmail him. As Homelander himself says (something to the effect of), "I'd rather be loved, but I'll settle for being feared." The fact that he cares about his reputation is the only thing that keeps him in check, but that can only be exploited so far. If he loses that, he would likely just go on a rampage. So robbing him of the adoration that he craves would actually be the worst thing you could do.

@mon_nobi 4 месяца назад

His brand/reputation was a weakness at first but yes he outgrew that as he started to take control of both Vought and his own life, but the change was initiated not by a spontaneous corporate/PR takeover but by the realization that he has a family bloodline. He literally seized power upon finding out that he was lied to and not actually infertile/impotent. So therefore, his real weakness once the brand goes away is his attachments to his humanity, specifically things like family, having a son or father or mother figure. The father & mother figure boats may have sailed so it seems now that his main weakness will be Ryan, and I mean that not just as in he loses Ryan's trust, but as in he comes to blows with his superpowered son, strong enough to melt Stormfront, and essentially the main one who can challenge him both emotionally and physically.

@esmineldraaybara6975 4 месяца назад

I think the reason Butcher didn't die was because Homelander was shielding him while carrying him. So relative to Homelander, Butcher was at rest. While the air particles and other things which would've turned him to mush were blocked by Homelander. Similar to how fighter plane pilots are fine inside the plane at speeds at which humans would've become soup. Obviously the lift and stop would've still put immense amount of Gs on Butcher, which is why we see him waking up from being knocked out cold.

@skillzorz101 3 месяца назад

I think the acceleration would do a whole lot worse than causing unconsciousness. If a fighter pilot went from 0 to full speed, faster than an explosion, they would be dead even inside the cockpit. Your brain would be compressed on one side of your skull, for starters. It's like experience immense gravity for a split second.

My personal thoughts are that homelader is a big kid in some ways. A demented, tortured, powerful, sociopathic child. Being a weapon in a cold room from the beginning and nothing resembling a childhood happened. He's chasing comfort and love but can't seem to get it anywhere and throws tantrums. He's losing his parental figures and the rules he used to live under. He can either decide to just continue and use his power to take all the things he's basically already being given for his participation. Or he could learn the importance of other people. I'm not saying he's unresponsible for any of it. But sometimes early situations can teach you things that stop you from learning the basics. He will either tear apart his world trying to find any scap of meaning. Or he'll be able to change and avoid being the villain that needs to be taken down. But either way he's the only one who's going to be able to end his loneliness.

I haven't finished, but I think you should add a #4 to that list of Homelanders most iconic powers list Mr Film Theory man 3:23, cause time and time again does the show stop for a character to fearfully say,"Careful! Homelander could probably hear us." And indeed, one of Homelander's other most iconic things is that super hearing that not only lets him eavesdrop on any conversation in his immediate vicinity, no matter the size of the building or the barriers, and that it's also useless to hide if he comes looking for you because he'll hear your heartbeat. Not only that, Homelander talks about how he listens in on people's breathing and heartbeats to be able to tell when they're afraid of him or not during their interactions, or if they're lying.

@hannesromhild8532 4 месяца назад

How do you even get that? He's got clearly very low limits. The weight of just three guys was holding him down but he freed himself barely and escaped. in the same fight punches that barely scratch a wall did hurt him. Sorry but Homelander should be toast by just using handheld anti armor weapons from WW2. He would die to kinetic anti armor weapons thats for sure.

Fun twist on the word “beat”. While he would be beaten politically, his implosion would just help him become the villain in everyone’s eyes while he actually becomes a supervillain, hellbent on destroying everyone else Just my thoughts

@whatdadogdoin634 4 месяца назад

Im also sure this theory means beating what Homelander actually is, not the person itself, everyone hates Homelander as in the concept itself but the person who is Homelander is basically going around killing everyone, so its a win-lose situation, it's like how real world internet personalities get exposed and basically being hated by everyone but just because they hate them doesn't mean the person behind the personality isn't gone off the face of the earth, they're still around doing things and could return as an even worse person than before

My dear MatPat, that is not an F-16 that Homelander threw, but an AV-8B Harrier II with gross weigh of 22,950 lbs (10,410 kg) or maximum rolling takeoff weigh of 31,000 lbs (14,100 kg). Additionally, the entire surface area of a fist may be ~64 sq inches total, but the striking surface is likely closer to 7.87 sq inches, thus reducing the amount of force needed to punch through someone's chest.

Pretty sure if Homelander did try to “go rogue” like in his threat to Starlight, Vought would easily bring him down. He was almost beaten by just three guys. And two of them were on Temp V which Vought created. Vought could easily outsource Temp V to an elite squad which they possess ample numbers of and the squad would rip Homelander apart.

@JohnBrett715 4 месяца назад

Possibly, but Vought has always been holding the tiger by the tail when it comes to Homelander. Their tactics of keeping him in check (other than strapping a nuke to him) has always been psychology. Of course now with temp v things may be different. Also depends whether they use some of the tactics/plotlines used in the comics

@San-lh8us 4 месяца назад

well, one of these three guys is possibly the second stronger Supe in history, and the entire plan on beating homelander there was to hit him with soldier boy's beam to take away homelander's powers

@mon_nobi 4 месяца назад

Despite all its insane superhero trappings, I feel like this show at its core is actually about family. Homelander's brand/reputation was a weakness at first but he outgrew that as he started to take control of both Vought and his own life, but the catalyst of those changes were the realization that he has a family bloodline. He literally seized power upon finding out that he was lied to and not actually infertile/impotent. He hated being controlled/lied to and so his methods to achieving freedom from control was to control and lie. These methods could eventually alienate Ryan, who is currently his main anchor to his humanity by being a form of psychological redemption as HL desires to be a good dad, so I think that his real weakness, once/if the brand fully goes away, is his attachments to his humanity, specifically things like family and having a son or father or mother figure. Without any other father or mother figures to lean on I think his main weakness will end up being Ryan, and not just as in HL loses Ryan's trust, but as in he comes to blows with his superpowered son, who is powerful enough to melt Stormfront, and essentially the main one who can challenge him both emotionally and physically.

I love the theory that homelander will run for president! Really think you are onto something there! However I do not think homelander will be defeated by destroying his image. As many people in the comment section pointed out this was already touched upon in the show when Starlight blackmails him with the plane video. So I think he will ultimately either be defeated by Newman exploding his head, her supe-virus from genV or in a good old fashioned fight with the boys. Another interesting thing you didn't mention is that homelander cant see through zink. That may be a weakness the boys could exploit to trick him somehow.

@charlesmcintosh5994 4 месяца назад

Not trying to troll, just pointing out a needed correction. The math for pinching a hole in someone's chest mishandles the units when multiplying. (100 lb/sq-in) X (64 sq-in) = 6400 lb If you want the answer in psi (pressure), the answer would be 100psi. If you want total force, it would be 6400lb.

One thing that bothered me about this episode (and that noone else seems to comment on) is that the calculation for the power output of Homelanders eye beams seems to assume that the hull of the plane is 15 centimeters of *solid metal* which would mean that that's not a plane but a flying tank. That 15 cm figure probably includes the entire space between the actual outer skin (which is essentially just a surprisingly thin sheet of metal) and the internal lining of the cabin. Most of that space is just empty, except for stuff like the occasional structural element, some wires, tubes and pipes and a bit of thermal insulation and so on.

Usually enjoy Film Theory videos but I think this misses the mark a bit. His brand was sort of a weakness at first but he outgrew that as he started to take control of both Vought and his own life, but the change was initiated not by his corporate/PR takeover but by the realization that he has a family bloodline. He literally seized power upon finding out that he was lied to and not actually infertile/impotent, and it just can't get more on the nose than that. So therefore, his real weakness once the brand goes away is his attachments to humanity, specifically a son or father. The father boat may have sailed but yea, his weakness is mostly sorta Ryan now I think.
