Lots of attempted murder on MetroMan but he wouldn't kill anyone else. Also Kidnapping, Theft, Battery, and property damage. And if you consider dehydrating people assault then that too.
Probably watched an youtube short edit I remember thinking that the kind of villains i see were "good" or "misunderstood" and last time it was a child murderer who don't feel guilt
He is. Also, it really depends on your definition on morality. Laws and morality do not necessarily intertwine. There are many characters that kill (sometimes fairly brutally), and they can be seen as heroes nonetheless. Even though by IRL law they would be punished, since the murders they commit are individual, as opposed to being issued by the government. It is a matter of morality and authority really. Governments issue many laws not because they are the most ethical ones there may be, but because it is much easier to control the society for them that way. Homelander is misunderstood and, in a sense of being greater than life, justified. His actions are justified in a sense that karma exists. Humanity did that collectively to him, and he lashes back at humanity. And, from utilitarian point of view, that is quite fair. Gods (ultimate, utmost fair authority) don’t usually intervene to prevent or punish bad acts from happening - individuals do. If individuals are the ones that commit atrocities, should it be the individuals that resist/fight back? So, saying that the world where atrocities occur (like the ones that happened to Homelander) is ok is just beyond ridiculous. Expecting him to be ok and just take the injustice without lashing out is a bit silly. That belief is complicit at best, and destructive at worst.
@@_Suited the phantom zone is a literal dimension, I’m curious to see homelander try and escape, plus it’ll be easy to get him in there because he assumes he can tank anything easily and all we have to do is shoot him with all on phantom zone projector and he’ll be gone out everyone hair forever. Plus according to Sitwell there’s nothing on earth that can detain homelander (except for soldier boy, Hughie, and Billy Butcher. They almost got him) so what if we just put I’m in a prison that’s outside of earth? Can he break kryptonian metal? Probably not, if there’s nothing on earth that can stop him how about we just throw something that isn’t from earth at him
I love the fact that the only person he truly hesitated to kill was Black Noir. The only person who without question served him. He hesitated and cared deeply about a supe with a broken brain who could only follow orders.
Not really. It was more so that he saw loyal friend in him, more than anything. Kinda like having a loyal guard dog. It is dumb, but you love it anyway, since it serves you (regardless of it being potentially life-threatening to anybody else). You need to understand that Homelander has immense starvation for kinship. The bare minimum Black Noir gave him meant to him infinitely more than it would mean to any of use. He was so starved for companionship (“wishing his team, as his new family”) that the very act of Black Noir BEING THERE was enough. You missed the point of the character completely, it seems, and oversimplified it.
@@kingol4801 I think you oversimplified my comment because you just explained the point i was making. Just didnt want to have an essay for a comment. He hesitated and cared for all those reasons you stated. You just said "not really" then just elaborated on my own point. No need to correct someone you agree with.
Imagine Saul Goodman defending this fella in court. We're all know that he capable of talking prosecution down from death sentence to a 6 month probation. Homelander didn't even get a death sentence so he definitly better call Saul.
“What if superheroes abused their powers instead of using them for good?”, asked the show’s description. You get people such as Homelander! That was the whole point.
It seems like you missed the WHOLE point of the show then. Poor soul, thinking that this show is about superheroes being bad…. It is not! If you have any perception at all, you would realize that superheroes being bad are symptoms/metaphors. The root of all evil and the ENTIRE point of show’s criticism was that a monopolistic corrupt late-stage organization is the worst. And an example of them being the worst (among many others) is them corrupting superheroes. They are the ones that make them, cancel them or praise them. And the company’s interests don’t align at all with societal good (point of superheroes) - just sheer pursuit of profit. Homelander is a perfect example. What happens if one entity: Raises a person in an isolated captivity, 0 social interaction until they become an adult, except with 2-3 personnel members that experiment on him; Raise a child without parents at all; Brutally torture and experiment on them, while they are young (worse than Solider Boy torture, btw); THEN brainwash him with “AMERICAN VALUES” (all bigotry and wrong that entails in this context) THEN hook him up with an older, more mature woman to sexually harass and control him (Stilwell)…. No offense, but ANY human raised with those (practically crimes against humanity) circumstances in mind would be completely feral and mental. Homelander is not that bad, given how much WORSE he could have been. The level of abuse he got is beyond anything a normal human can endure.
Homelander is the best villain Ive seen on TV in a long ass time. He's genuinely terrifying, cold and unfeeling, easy to hate yet complex and well fleshed out with motivations beyond "he evil lol". The actors performance just ties it all together so perfectly. All I want is to see this guy absolutely demolished
@@pavlegrebenarevic382 'Hate' is indeed a strong word... ppl love Donald Trump despite him being alleged on SAing a minor in his own business owned store that's directed at minors who are girls...
I'd like to see Homeländer, after serving 4954 years in prison, just be released a new man. Everyone would have probably forgotten who he was by then, probably the only person he'd still have is Ryan
That’s not really fair. They had help! Homelander committed all those atrocities with his bare hands like the hardworking American super serial killer he is.
1:34 honestly this had to be the most savage Child Neglect ever (It’s actually true because on google it said that they bring little children on planes to annoy the other passengers)
@Thawne that's the point of the video. In the series he gets away with everything he does. But this is if he gets charged for them (considering there would be some kind of proofs for his crimes)
My video suggestions : - If all GTA protagonists were charged for their crimes - If Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul characters were charged for their crimes - If horror movie villains were charged for their crimes - If Rick Sanchez was charged for his crimes - If Omni Man was charged for his crimes - If Kratos was charged for his crimes

Homelander and the other supes managed by Vought are essentially a form of law enforcement. Sort of like private military contractors. They also seem to be allowed to use excessive and lethal force and do property damage in the process of stopping crimes so imo none of the criminal deaths should count. Most of them aren't ethical - he's being reckless and often uses lethal force unneccesarily, but within this fictional universe they're not actually crimes.
He committed high treason by killing vice president using the deep, and covered up the terrible crimes he did to keep a clean image all of this definitely gives him the Death Penalty, Also if Vought was in on all of this and were aware of these crimes this could cause the whole company to permanently shut down and compound v destroyed, plus every employee of vought under artrest. You’re a fool for not even realizing this sooner.
Not really. He is a man-made monster. After all atrocities that he endured as a being, society might as well collectively die. Literally his up-bringing and youth was a never-ending list of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Homelander is a realistic Superman out in those circumstances. No matter how good he tried to be, he snapped, because nobody could withstand that emotionally unbroken. If you look closer, you see those attempt to stay good (as opposed to being completely feral), even if most of his actions are self-serving. He is self-serving BECAUSE he has formed that as a defense mechanism to abuse
What I like about Homelander is his character. He rarely really throws hands as he has no need to, yes it would cause less property damage, but then again lasering them is just easier.
We know he could kill anybody, but the only person he can’t kill is the camera man.. the one who films everything, episodes, series, and hell maybe everything..
The boys diabolical episode 8 is something of a prequel to the show, in this episode he’s the newest supe to vought’s list. In this episode he kills at least 8 people and destroyed the building where the hostages and the attackers were inside and attempted to kill black noir after he saw him do it. So that’s 8 counts of murder, destruction of property and attempted murder.
If you've never heard of The Boys before, you wouldn't even guess that Homelander was a superhero, you'd assume he's just a deranged psychopath with superhero powers.
@@osirisjohnson5165 far cry games start to beg question "who's the villain here?" and a whole lot of far cry protagonists are mass murderers throughout the course of the game
I feel that a few of these like him killing the thieves at the beginning or him killing the terrorists wouldn't count since he's legally allowed to kill on the job, specially after the deal with the military. But then you get into him violating the Geneva Conventions with how he takes down the terrorists.
Imagine putting Homelander behind bars/in prison... oh, that's right, he has superhuman strength, heat-vision and he can fly, he can easily get out (With his powers and how supernaturally strong he is, he can easily take down and murder a team of security guards)
