Homelander Tells Starlight To Kill Hughie | The Boys | Prime Video 

He doesn't despise Butcher, he respects him. He is the only person that keeps it real with him.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say Homelander despises Butcher. It’s Butcher who despises Homelander, but despite having several opportunities to kill him, Homelander has never taken that opportunity with Butcher. In a weird and severely screwed up way, he’s the closest thing to a friend Homelander has, because he’s brutally honest with him and doesn’t hide his contempt for him, which he really respects. Butcher is one of the few people who’s ever been ‘real’ around Homelander.

@@emperorreign6154 I mean in the "Herogasm" episode, Homelander lasered Butcher with the intention of killing him. He was surprised when he turned out not to be dead, and had powers of his own in that moment.

@@jamaljames9331 yea, I think it's a mix of "finding him fun" and also measuring himself/his-worth with Butcher as contrast, he makes for a good "villain" in Homelander's story, and Homelander doesn't feel threatened by him so he's just being as irresponsible as he always is and letting things play out. IF he ever is board of Butcher or has a bad mood, he can intend to just kill him, but he's very fickle and every time he intends to kill he something is there to stop him which just makes him form a bigger bond with him over their relationship as "superior" and "inferior".(Homelander's problems are more about validation and self-identity, and he sucks at assessing threats/situations, so the truth about him "despising" Butch or "respecting" him is somewhere in the middle with the caviat that Homelander himself is very unstable/emotionally-undecisive and probably doesn't even know the answer himself. maybe in this next season or whichever is the last season Homelander will reach some epiphany and put to words/set-in-stone whatever his feelings for Butcher are...in a crude/strange twisted joke he might equate him as a father figure or a brother, it certainly would add a fittingly strange layer to the finale if Homelander has a twisted sense of love for Butcher or even has a strange act of mercy/compassion towards Butcher and *then* Homelander is still killed by Butcher's hands, sorta like a stand off moment where they both _can_ kill each other and Homelander is the one to decline and de-escalate the situation for "Butcher/both of their" sakes but Butcher takes the opportunity still, very "grey area" ending worth debating/thinking over, idk if I'm illustrating it right but it sounds very in-tune with 'The Boys'.

It isn't about being "real", it's about fear. The reason everyone else lies and fakes things around him is out of fear and/or awe. It's all he's ever known from the people he is around, his entire life. The doctors, the people he saves, everyone loses it around him. And he can tell, even if they are hiding it. Butcher is borderline suicidal and accepts that he will probably die, horribly, every day. He *feels* different. It's also why he respects his "boss".

Like a commoner confronting a Shakespearean.

All I heard was oi ****

(Homelander is the politest person in the entire show) Have you seen the show? :😀Just kidding. I know what you meant.

@@saskruffriders8234 i think it is 'the most polite person'

@@justaguywholikestosoundsma6760 Thanks, Captain Obvious. I’m simply responding to what the original author wrote.

@@saskruffriders8234unfamiliar with sarcasm? Like bro how can you not get his sarcasm

Yes!!! Glad you caught that too. It was brilliant 👏🏾

That killed me

​@@1stwonder788RIP😢😢😢

Fr bro it’s so rare they are working as a team and Homelander actually giving orders like a real team leader like he is supposed to be

They actually do that kind of thing off screen ​@@TheFenixxxx

@@itdobelikedattho8112wish we could see more on screen

He invited Timothy for lunch and everything 🥰

@@nanaiahmanoj6774especially one that can communicate with animals and would actually hear the sounds of their screams

That was fucking awesome though!

Straight up! Can’t wait for season 2 of My Adventures With Superman!

​@@tankenjoyer1891*Jack Quaid (the actor for Hughie) plays Superman in the show "My adventures with Superman".*

It was not the Vought way

@@Homelander489 "The Seven will decide your fate" "I am The Seven"

“What have I done?”

Due it?

Just like His Big Brother Butcher

Edgar Stan ehem ehem

@@sisenegellav that s why I used "ALMOST everyone else" in my comment

I always loved that moment where Hughie stood his ground and looked more furious than scared when Homelander made sexual remarks about Annie. I don't think Homelander had any respect for Hughie until that moment. He still despises him, but I don't think he viewed him as someone with no backbone after that. He knows Hughie has zero chances against him, yet is impressed with his courage.

He used his X-ray vision to see that his heart was about to explode

I’m sure with his super hearing he could hear it

😂😂😂

Underrated comment 😂😂

Coping a feel.

Lmao that killed me. Never misses the opportunity to antagonize the Butcher.

He has to 'turn it on', so to speak.

This is The Boys, not Invincible.

I’m creaming in my jeans excited

When?

@@whysoserious286june 13

Finally someone is asking the real questions😂

I’m sure they won’t even mention it they probably won’t use cgi on it either because that’s disrespectful

What plastic surgery?
