Antony Starr was amazing in Banshee, so glad to see him get the recognition he deserves. Two different characters and both amazing, Hood and Homelander.

[@BrokenNoah]

Underrated show. Barely anyone talking about it now and I don't remember seeing it included in a lot of lists of top crime drama shows in recent years.

[@BrndnNZT48]

So underrated. Dude is right. Like almost nobody knows about this. My favorite show of all time

[@2jc937]

You should see him in "Outrageous Fortune"

You can def see the building blocks of Homelander in Sherrif Hood. More people need to watch Banshee

[@westnile21]

When Cody was in AEW and he came out to the first AEW Grand Slam show with the giant USA Flag cap he looked uncannily just like Homelander😂

[@kimchi2780]

He was also acting like a heel off and on thats when the comparisons started being made.

[@alternative7586]

@@Thatdeal79 If I'm not mistaken, an additional bonus homage/reference from calling himself "American Nightmare" is that one of Dusty's old enemies-turned-allies was the "*Russian* Nightmare" Nikita Koloff; that one could simply be coincidence, but what a hell of a coincidence if it's indeed also a reference to that.

Cody could definitely pull off Homelander-like heel his superpower is influence & negotiations as a corrupt and very deceptive politician, who knows how to talk & buy ppl into doing his bidding and is always step ahead, always chil well mannered but if someone stepped to him next thing you know they was found knocked out, busted open from a vicious attack no one knows who what, how or why but by his intimidating aura you know he was behind it. Cody is sitting on a gold mine of a heel persona, this babyface run should treated as buttering up the crowd before the surprise turn.

[@knives5964]

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

If Cody decides to turn heel he needs to come out in a homelander outfit with the colors inverted

[@john2300]

"he's gonna go full homelander" chill yall, Homelander hasn't even gone full homelander. If they were to do a homelander heel turn, they would have to do a super cena/codyverse run where the fans get sick of him and he starts to slowly lose it.

When he goes heel, he will be homelander Cody and people will LOVE it. He will do horrible things and people will cheer for it.

[@rianrangga8256]

Hey. He can be a WWE homelander if Triple H want him be a top heel someday

[@kimchi2780]

To be fair Cody did it to himself. He was acting heelish as hell in AEW and flirted too much with I want to be a good guy and I want to be the guy the AEW fans fell in love with (Bullet Club Cody). Once he started doing that the fans booed him because they wanted the epic heel Cody back. I think heel Cody is probably the best version of Cody, watching old BTE man he was sooooo good. Just not into Corny Rhodes babyface Cody.

It will happen once his championship run ends and he runs out of wrestling history info drops in his promos
