[@rangertherusky]

In the comics, Homelander is intimidated by him because he is one of the very few people if not the only one who does not fear him or even death for that matter. It shatters Homelander’s pride so killing him would just prove him right and Homelander knows it. Instead, he sulks and tries to find a way to come out on top because of his bruised ego.

[@Chriscea]

​@@netgeek3010there is no weapon that could stop him cold lol

[@DragonOfTheMortalKombat]

​@@Chriscea nuclear blasts can fry compound V from his blood. Other than that, Air defense systems and military lasers can kill him as well (yes, the world has lasers far more powerful than him). Queen Maeve was able to injure him, so vought can probably create supes specifically to destroy him.

[@ultragalacticgamer7195]

@@DragonOfTheMortalKombati agree homelanders feats (if we wanna get into “PoWeRScaLinG”) is around building level. We see from Starlight that she can take rounds from a .50 cal sniper and that it causes some damage. Enough to knock her down, knock the wind out of her. And pretty much incapacitated her completely. While home lander has significantly higher durability than her, he was injured by Queen Maeve. Its not unreasonable to assume Starlight could be killed by a armor piercing round, or even a tank round. Homelander would (purely speculative here) likely take the same amount of damage from a tank round that starlight took from the sniper Butcher shot her with. The problem isn’t that homelander is indestructible by any means, its just that he’s too AGILE to hit with any conventional weapons that could hurt or even kill him. Apart from nuclear. Those would definitely kill him instantly but also a-lot of civilians likely. Missiles and other high powered explosives would be the only chance of the military. Also I think a dog fight between 3 - 4 highly skilled F22 fighter pilots and homelander would end in US victory just based on his “feats” the AIM missiles should be enough to destroy him.

Awards mean nothing and Oscars have never been more of a joke. His work and our smiles are his triumph.

[@stevendebettencourt7651]

Remember that an Oscar is for brilliant MOVIE performances. Most of Esposito’s best work has been in the realm of television, which generally means you’re looking for Emmy Awards. It looks like he hasn’t won any of those (they are hard to win), but he does have several awards to his name already, mostly for his role in Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. EDIT: Funny enough, he got nominated for a Primetime Emmy in 2012, but lost to … Aaron Paul (“YEAH BITCH!”). He’s gotten several other Emmy nominations since, but again, there is so much good TV-style content, it is VERY difficult to actually win one.

[@theswebs9676]

He would win an Emmy. He almost won one for Gus but just came short to Aaron Paul who won that year

[@theoutlook55]

Most of the great things he has been in are TV shows, so Golden Globe is closer to the mark I think. Still, no one needs an award to be honored and appreciated like this man has.

That’s my favorite part about Stan’s character. Homelander can hear his heartbeat, and he knows that Stan doesn’t fear him, which is why home lander said he used to be scared of Stan. When someone is so supremely confident and unassuming, it’s unnerving because you wonder what makes them so confident. It’s the fear of the unknown.

​@@This_Justin001 but doesnt homelander know stan isnt super human and doesnt have powers so he could still kill him easily

@@Sevan_UP yes, but that also begs the question as to why Stan would not fear him. Does he have a secret way to kill Homelander? It’s something that he must consider because Stan is not afraid. In Homelanders mind he is the strongest superhero in the world, and nobody can stand up to him, so even if Stan was super he still wouldn’t fear him.

I love it. Homelander was expecting Stan would be scared after he stood up, but all he got was a calm and blunt answer. Homelander gets off at people that are scared of him. That's why he made that little grimace at the end. He knew, even he killed him at that time, everything he said was true.

[@seanswift1072]

It goes deeper than that homelander can hear your heart rate and blood pressure, even if you keep a perfect Poker Face he'll know that you're scared of him.

​@@justdeadnow1404honestly, we all would have those as well, going through what he did. I don't really like the character, but yeah. You gotta feel for the dude who was raised in a lab without mom or dad... For better or worse, he's a decently written character who plays a "bad guy"

[@CidGuerreiro1234]

Homelander had never dealth with anyone who wasn't scared of him. Man-child that he is, he imediatelly backs down from something he doesn't know how to deal with. This is something they keep from the original character in the comics, too.

[@steak5599]

@@CidGuerreiro1234 It was the same way when he Fought Soldier Boy. Homelander is not a Warrior, he is just a Bully. When someone who can put up a fight confronts him, he doesn't know what to do. But that's what makes him relateable and a great character!

[@Miichaelezeh]

Giancarlo being the coldest character in two iconic tv shows is legendary 💀

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

I always feel like the people who piss Homelander off the most are untouchable. He won’t kill them because in his twisted mind, if he resorts to killing them instead of proving them wrong, they win. Anyone else, he kills.

[@soultheconfusing9563]

That’s a interesting way to look at it I always thought it was because he feeds of fear so if ur afraid of him he’ll probably kill u because he’s sadistic. Butcher and Edgar aren’t afraid of him even though they know he’s a million times more powerful than them and in homelanders mind if he kills them he’s not gonna get any satisfaction out of it

[@diogomarques9228]

​@@soultheconfusing9563 that makes sense

[@Aerial_Imaging]

That's not exactly a twisted way of thinking, it's true.

[@CodeeXD]

It's less people who piss him off and more people who are indifferent to him. Edgar isn't afraid of him he sees him as a petulant man child always throwing a tantrum. Homelander has a need for peoples approval so the moment you view him as the living god that he is it's over for you.

[@Koyabi]

Edgar being his superior Homelander want his approval because he his The boss he knows Edgar is insanely good at what he does and respect that , as for Butcher him being only human and going this far it impressed Homelander and gain his respect ,he call him William he his the only one he considers as somewhat an equal because they are as fcked up in the head .

[@Unnecessarilylongexplanations]

Both of them are such great actors, and Antony Starr's very subtle to full blown facial movements add so much to the character it's incredible.

He was also amazing in Banshee.

[@blinky3552]

I really like that about him too. The way he twitches his mouth and eyes really sells the idea that he’s trying very hard not to lose his shit EDIT: I watched it again and also noticed that Homelander like scans Edgar’s face for any signs of fear when he first stands up but when Edgar doesn’t show any (and his heart rate doesn’t increase, further cementing that it’s not just a bluff) it throws Homelander off and he doesn’t know what to say or do next

Homelander always know theres something seriously off with Gus.He the only person that never afraid of Homelander and in pretty sure theres a reason of his confidence.

[@badmagikman5142]

I think the greatest moment of restraint he's had was when he didn't actually laser all the people protesting outside of vought, straight up booing him, flipping him off, saying he doesn't speak for them. All of them, who's love he depends on to thrive. But, I guess the fact that he just lasered someone's head off in front of the nation for throwing something at Ryan just throws my opinion out the window. He's losing restraint and tolerance now and he's gonna become more unhinged than he already is.

[@mariolawrence897]

It wouldn’t do Homelander any good to go after Gus or to threaten Vought in any way. If he EVER became a serious threat and started actively trashing them, they’ll release supers to take him down. Or worse, they’ll juice themselves up with cV and jump him. Homelander would be done if he ever totally flipped and went nuts. It would be a stupid move and he knows it.

[@moe5020]

@@mariolawrence897 I feel like most supes would probably side with homelander over edgar, why risk your life fighting the strongest man in the world over a change in managment especially when homelander is probably more sympathetic with a lot of supes who are tired of being a corporate puppets and want real power.

[@shjp2148]

@@byronrush9802 its because most writers in thr modern era write him and stronger, faster and tougher than most of the heroes and villains combined, that he has to be dumbed down for plot. I miss the days the Justice League existed because Superman couldn't do everything, not the current version that exists to prop him up for salivating fanboys who hypocritically flip their shit anytime someone gets the better of Superman and call it writer fanboyism. The fact that many of the writers are chosen due to political clout rather skill also contributes to the lack of quality. For example, Tom King seems to exist to shove one leftist political view after the other into every comic he writes till it tanks and gets cancelled, then he gets into the next book, rinse and repeat. The fact that everything he makes a cry about has been represented in comics with nuance since day one is lost on him, unlike his hammering insistence only the side he supports is correct and others are wrong.

@@shjp2148 yeah I also miss that version of Superman because he was allowed to grow and make mistakes and acknowledge he can't do it all that's the whole point of the Justice League He doesn't have to do it all, it's because of the existence of the league he's allowed to have a life and he doesn't feel guilty taking Lois on dates when somebody's in danger or there's a national disaster because the League will probably handle it, as you said the writers current era do not care they're there because they are all for kissing ass The actual talented writers have been removed for being problematic AKA giving the readers what they want that has been selling comics/animated series for years
