Superman doesn't insult Homelander, or even boast about himself. He just states facts and asks rhetorical questions. Superman's history speaks for itself.
I love that how Superman takes Homelander's insults like bullets bouncing off him and how positive concepts like faith and humanity shouldn't be seen as such foreign concepts.
Given that Superman's dog is Krypto, I completely agree. The pooch would listen to about six minutes of the twit badmouthing his master, then he'd rip Homelander into bite sized chunks.
"Somehow I feel responsible for you, I am sorry about the way that you turned out but you cannot use that as an excuse to hurt people, John." "John? JOHN?! I AM THE HOMELANDER AND I CAN---" Homelander does the Family Guy Death pose
in Superman's mind : "i could just eye laser him to dust and this annoying prick will be gone and it won't even takes an effort to do that" also in Superman's mind : "no, i shouldn't do that.. i don't kill people" also in Superman's mind : "..only because i don't want to, i'm not Batman who have a moral code to not ever kill" also in Superman's mind : "but still, i shouldn't.. let's just destroy his self esteem instead"
Every Homelander match up can be boiled down to one simple fact. Homelander is a cheap knockoff of Superman in a storyline where his most dangerous opponent is a cheap knockoff of the Punisher. The insane rules of scaling dictate that if a Superman knockoff has a recurring antagonist stronger than the Punisher, then they can wipe the floor with Homelander.
I used to joke that he was created by the tribe to represent what they wish the messiah had been. But I honestly don’t really think it’s that deep. They just wanted to make something cool. Besides Superman has morphed a lot since his origin.
Siegel and Shuster were both Jews, so the Moses inspiration isn't surprising. However, Jesus imagery has also been associated with Superman over the years, particularly when he "dies" fighting to protect people. But ultimately what Superman is, is the ideal American immigrant.
I hate that turning back Time by reversing the Earth's rotation it just sounds like the stupidest thing ever because time is moving forward on other planets at the same rate you telling me he turned back time in Jupiter as well he wasn't anywhere near it
My guess is that Jupiter would have the opposite effect, like the time on other planets speeds up to compensate. Though if that is the case in DC comics, then I can't imagine how much alien races hate characters like the Flash. Imagine getting ready for a new day,and suddenly an unknown amount of time just blips by because some speedster is busy going back in time
it's only a visual effect - what he actually does is resonate with the flux of time, same as the Flash does. The Earth seems to rotate backwards because, you know, TIME is moving backwards.
Supes's Biokinetic forcefield aura makes him Mightier than anyone that's even as strong as him! It's why HE could have saved the Jet full of innocents!
Superman wouldn't even have to "talk shit." The facts are damning enough. Just like Supes doesn't have to brag like Homelander, his history speaks for itself.
Helluva lot of Moses allegory, too. Superman has evolved to take on many elements in the public consciousness, over more than eighty years. But what he really embodies are American cultural ideals: truth, justice, and the rule of law; the duty of the strong to protect the weak; all people being fundamentally equal and deserving respect, even if some are gifted.
The diffrences were that, Superman was a whole different race while Homelander was just a human that on super steroid. While Homelander is invisible on planetary scale Superman is invisible cosmic
@@justincummings8557 Maybe he was thinking of Invisible Boy from the Legion of Superheroes? He's the best at not appearing - not even Superboy's senses can see him. Sadly for him, his entire race is invisible, so he's not all that special.
realistically if that were to follow the laws of physics... super man would just either go through the plane, or homelander is finally able to save people from airplane without going right through it.
The beauty of Superman is that he is basically a god who prefers to be a man. Even though he is a Kryptonian, he was raised as a human, and also has an ingrained moral fiber to him. IIRC, even a Superman who was raised by the freaking NAZIS turned out to be a pretty okay guy in the end, if only because the deeds he committed in the name of the Third Reich haunted him, and he helped save all creation in the Final Crisis by helping defeat Mandrakk.
@@blackleg3964 Dude, this is not a challenge. I could name several characters who would solo Vought. Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash (all Flashes), Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern (all of them), Shazam, Aquaman, Cyborg, Firestorm, Zatanna, John Constantine, Dr. Fate, the Atom, Raven, and Static. Those are just a few.
Homelander: "I can do whatever I want." Superman: "No you can't. You want to kill me. You want people to love you. Suffice to say, that's never going to happen."
Naw Homelander tried to change superman's gender without fully turning him into a woman in the thumbnail with his heat vision only for superman to just stand there as if he isn't bothered
you know what the sad part is, it's actually really simple to beat/deal with Superman if you know what you're doing. all you need is kryptonite, red solar lights, magic, one of the MANY weapons that have been made to kill/hurt him, lead, being smart enough to not engage him directly, etc. this just shows how weak Homelander is compared to any of the many other superman clones.
