    Isn’t Homelander a villain though? I thought he was supposed to be a villain.

    Edit: NM I didn’t realize Homelander was from The Boys. I honestly thought he was the guy in Guardians of The Galaxy 3

    Edit 2: Apparently that character’s name is Adam Warlock.

      Homelander is the villain in the boys.

        Anyone who drinks milk on-screen is always a villain.

            At that point isn’t he? He created Kylo and then left everyone else to figure it out.

            Not really a hero’s move

              True hero’s move, really, retire and let others become heroes (half /s)

            Yeah but blue milk tho. Might as well be cheese at that point

          Let’s see, Milk is a symbol of innocence and purity in movies, and is often used to make the audience feel uncomfortable when a villain or anti-hero drinks it.

          This is because milk is typically associated with childhood, which is considered the most innocent and pure time of life.

          When a villain drinks milk, it can represent the consumption or destruction of innocence, and can be used to indicate the villain’s loss of innocence

            Also, to signify Homelander being a man-child

            I kinda think it’s more to create contrast than to signify eating innocence

        Ahh, kk. Never seen it, but I guess the two characters seem similar in that respect at least.

      The multiple layers of confusion gave me a laugh, thank you.

      I remember reading The Infinity gauntlet comics and in it Adam warlock was supposed to be the greatest human being ever created.

      And then they picked the actor that they chose for him and I’m just not seeing it.
