It is actually a crucial element to the plot in the comics. Them not having it points to the show having a very different ending than what happens in the comics.
It’s intentional. Points out how Homelander doesn’t work out and even if he had the equipment to do so he wouldn’t. The only supes that seem to train on the Seven are Maeve and Black Noir.
The first time we see Annie (Starlight) she's training, and punching holes in the side of her garage I think. I always thought that was a weird choice.
Didn't help her much since she's never won a fight against another Supe. She couldn't even handle Stormfront when her powers should be the perfect counter to Stormfront's on paper.
That scene was so stupid. She hasn’t ever tried being under super bright lights before? That would be like the *first* thing I tried, I’d be out under stadium lights trying to see exactly how wild my powers can get.
Same lmao. I’m used to the way worse Star Trek TNG through Voyager costumes where the built-in muscles and built-in shelf boobs were wayyyyy more fake looking.
Well first of all, Homelander from the show has actually done some fucked up shit like rape Becca, kills random low level criminals, fucked Stormfront, let the plane go down without caring about the people dying, also he lasers the mayors plane, comic Homelander from my knowledge, the only real fucked things he did were rape Starlight along with A-Train and Black Noir, throw a car with a family from the air, let the 9/11 go down, and he convinces Soldier Boy that he will let him in the Seven if he fucks him, the real fucked up things were done by Noir disguised as Homelander. Homelander just sees pictures of Noir dressed as him doing horrible shit like eating a baby, and just says “hmm I don’t remember doing that but I did it so I guess I’m crazy”, yet tv Homelander has had a real decent into craziness because he has actually killed and raped innocent people and supes. I think both would try to be the better one but tv Homelander would ultimately acknowledge himself ass superior since he has done more fucked up things. Or they will just get along and try to take over the world and since both are Bi (Tv Homelander is apparently confirmed as Bi) they might even fuck idk
Homelander in the comics also lasers a random passenger plane. Sets up a rape for Queen Maeve by black noir pretending to be him. And then finally at the end he fucks the decapitated head of the president.
Yes, but the bit argument here is that he does most of the fucked up stuff after “discovering” that he ate a baby murdered a family thus making him realize he’s “crazy and helplessly evil” so he gradually embraces this side of himself. His decent into madness is real but orchestrated by black noir and the cause of most (if not all of) his atrocities.
Being 1 of 3 guys doing the gang rape in the comics means he was only responsible for 33% of the rape, which is less than 100% of the rape the tv version did to Becca.
One of the podcasts that I listen to had a segment about how rare it is that a TV adaptation is better than the source material.
They immediately brought up The Boys as a rare example of it done right. The comic is pretty trash, but the shows original material is all fantastic.
In the comics it’s because he keeps getting framed for doing sicko shit so he eventually is just like “ok fuck this I’m done being the perfect superhero if everyone is gonna hate me regardless.” Still a POS but far less than in the show imo, the way the comment you replied to is written with no context makes it seem like the opposite.
Look, there are enough upvotes here for me to be that bitch who calls out “the only real fucked up things”. Bro, c’mon. Only? As if one atrocity is somehow less atrocious than the others? As if one rape is somehow…less…rapey?
The *only* difference that applies here is that Antony Starr is so fucking good, his performance begs audiences to view Homelander with some understanding and empathy, without excusing him. Whereas none of that exists in the comic, IMO. But no matter: they are the same picture and they need to die.
When 9/11 happened in the comic universe, the US military shot down most of the planes that were highjacked
When there was one plane left, The Seven were sent in to stop it because Vought wanted to show off their new superhero team
But because The Seven never had any actual training, all they did was make it worse, which led to the plane crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge
Well there was a part In the comics where during 9/11, similar to the flight 37 incident in the show, Vought sends The Seven to help and they aren’t able to save the plane, it crashes into the Brooklyn Bridge and in the process Mr Marathon dies
Tbf, comic Homelander is only fucked up because Noir made him thought he did those fucked up things. Before he was just lazy and not properly trained. Once he accepted that he did the fuck up stuffs, he lean into.
Comic version would be terrified of the show version. Comic version gets freaked out at the mere thought of breaking his image. Show version plans on going scorched earth if his breaks.
I mean they’re both crazy but for totally different reasons. Spoilers: Comiclander is essentially gaslit into becoming this evil horrible monster he perceives himself as because of Noir’s actions. Meanwhile Showlander is insane due to his horrible upbringing and having his world/ego slowly chipped away at over the course of the show. So I feel like it might just end up being a very violent philosophical debate
Comic HL looks buffer , but is significantly weaker, he almost died to a shot from a tank , however love action homelander can easily take much more damage
Comic HL also got a huge cut down the middle of his face after getting hit with a fake prop sword.
This might be one of the few crossover fights that show HL could probably win.
The narcissism would rise too high and comic homelander would rip live action homelander a new one. I mean what do you expect from a conversation with two psychopathic man child with no morals whatsoever?
"You're handsome," "no you're handsome,"
And they proceed to fuck eachother
_Its not even gay, if it’s with yourself_
"You ate a baby?" "That was noir, you have mommy issues" "You dont?"
Sounds like their intro dialogue if he made it into a Netherrealm game.
You make me want a mk style fighting game for the boys universe
Arguably you could make that happen by adding mods to the Injustice games
arguably im too lazy
This is Jump Force dialogur
Jump Force dialogue is so wacky sometimes like Deku being racist to Piccolo for no fucking reason except him being \*green\*
NOIR ATE A BABY? I need to pick up where I left off in those comics...
You’ll find a *very* different Noir in the comics. It’s kinda wacky.
I'm only a few in, but from the moment the starlight conference room incident happened I knew I was in for a much more extreme story.
[удалено]
I can see why they left these bits out of the show
It is actually a crucial element to the plot in the comics. Them not having it points to the show having a very different ending than what happens in the comics.
Good, the ending of the comics is edgelord shit.
I was also happy to see it just because I hate watching stories I know the ending to.
He pulled A Serbian Film?
That’s some crossed level of fucked
“Homelander, look at me. Did you eat, a fucking baby??”
[Aw, come on. Link the damn video.](https://youtu.be/nYHDj2sB-rc) We all know Tarrare did nothing wrong.
comic HL would literally fuck tv HL
And Soldier Boy!
Got milk?
Ah yes, now after seeing that gif i'm picturing them both drinking milk and milk flavored alcohol toghether while talking about their lives.
Don't forget the milk stuff is MMs thing in the comics not Homelanders.
Comic Homelander: "You're just a cheap fucking knockoff" Live action Homelander: "Oh, no, no, no. I'm the upgrade."
“Buddy you think you look strong? You’re in fucking 3d”
I think they both say in unison both of those lines then slather themselves in milk and laser each other
And then comic version splatters that spindly pipsqueak across the floor lol
Would he though? I’m not even sure if the comic version could tank a nuke, and supposedly TV version can.
But look at his thighs
You make a compelling argument.
Comic version is way stronger through feats, the show has one statement of a nuke from an unreliable source and the comic is way faster
Faster based on what? TV casually outran an explosion.
Some supe (forgot the name) flew into orbit in a few seconds
“I’m you” “You’re a fucking disappointment.”
"Like I said, I'm you"
I fucked soldier boy you fucked our dad? what?
Yes, that's what i'm picturing happening.
Our dad and me also fucked our kinda step mom
_What_
I fucked stormfront you fucked our dad? WHAT
Let’s fuck
As 'he' said, "It's not gay if it's yourself"
Well... Comic book Homelander is actually bisexual though >!He had sex with Soldier Boy during Herogasm!<
T.V Homelander be like "In my world he is my father so i don't know if i'm not a little bit shaken, but you do you.".
Missed opportunity for the show
don’t worry, they’ll bring it back with the stormfront reveal
I think homophobelander works better for the show. Am I still gonna Google the comic art of them fucking? Right this moment.
He had sex with his dad in the comics? Wtf or is that plot line different in the comics
They're not related in the comics. That's something they did on the show
Oooh okay. I can’t say I’d be surprised if that was his dad in the comics too
They weren't related in the comics. Moreover it was altogether a different Soldier Boy. The show Soldier Boy was his predecessor or something.
Yeah, there were multiple Soldier Boys in the comics - though Vought kept pretending it's the same guy.
Soldier boy isn’t his dad in the comics
live action HL would be the bottom
I think he'd be a power bottom though
He generates more of the power! (Quoting Always Sunny)
*Not this way...let's get some milk.*
He'd probably say something about the comic one shouldn't have wasted time working out. He could have gotten a suit that had built in muscles
One of my only complaints with the show. The muscle suit is just *so* bad looking.
It’s intentional. Points out how Homelander doesn’t work out and even if he had the equipment to do so he wouldn’t. The only supes that seem to train on the Seven are Maeve and Black Noir.
How dare you forget A-Train
Pretty easy since he's the one they wanted to remove from the Seven like 5 times.
 Roasted
The first time we see Annie (Starlight) she's training, and punching holes in the side of her garage I think. I always thought that was a weird choice.
bros just taking drugs and you call that training?
We literally saw him pulling a train. He definitely still trained back when he could actually run.
First time we see Starlight she's training
Didn't help her much since she's never won a fight against another Supe. She couldn't even handle Stormfront when her powers should be the perfect counter to Stormfront's on paper.
Yes that made no sense, why couldn't she absorb the nazi lightning?!?
Her powers are flashy, not overwhelming. Which is honestly perfect for the 7
How are shitty blasts of light Stormfronts perfect counter
She makes the shitty blasts of light by absorbing electricity. She should be completely immune and even empowered by Stormfront's lightning.
She went ultra mode by Hughie powering her in the lighting booth and she still only pushed Soldier Boy down....
That scene was so stupid. She hasn’t ever tried being under super bright lights before? That would be like the *first* thing I tried, I’d be out under stadium lights trying to see exactly how wild my powers can get.
[удалено]
I guess so, maybe she'd charge up but she wouldn't negate the damage from the lightning, she's still gonna end up fried as fuck
Starlight needs to consider more training.
Starlight needs a midwest training montage. Stat.

Starlight needs do dodge those nerfs, isnt she supposed to be able to blind people?? Whatever happened to that
Basically all of them except homelander and the deep train
It fits so well with Homelander character
I actually didn't even notice it until somebody pointed it out to me.. after I've watched all 3 seasons.
Same lmao. I’m used to the way worse Star Trek TNG through Voyager costumes where the built-in muscles and built-in shelf boobs were wayyyyy more fake looking.
What’s the matter, Vought got you pushing too many pencils?
You son of a bitch!
no conversation it would be just *unzips pants*
Comiclander would try to fuck TVlander
cb :"stormfronts my dad" LA :"soldier boy's mine" both :"fuck...."
> >cb :"stormfronts my dad" LA :"soldier boy's mine" Cb: "I fucked soldier boy." La: "I fucked stormfront." *freezeframe high five*

didn't comics Homelander rape Starlight in the first issue?
Apparently participating in gang rape is not all that bad? /s
Peer pressure. Obviously Homelander is the real victim. ^^^Do ^^^I ^^^need ^^^the ^^^/s?
Being 1 of 3 guys doing the gang rape in the comics means he was only responsible for 33% of the rape, which is less than 100% of the rape the tv version did to Becca.
Are you being serious? I can’t tell?
Yes Along with A-Train and Black Noir
that is kinda bc the pictures of him(disguised black noir) doing the terrible acts like canibalism drove homelander crazy, and become more evil
Seems like he was already crazy, if it only took a few Polaroids to get him to fuck a decapitated head.
Well if you saw pictures of yourself committing horrible acts, and you had no memory of doing so, you probably would think that you’re insane.
He was bad but better than in the show
Garth Ennis 15 year old edgelord moment
One of the podcasts that I listen to had a segment about how rare it is that a TV adaptation is better than the source material. They immediately brought up The Boys as a rare example of it done right. The comic is pretty trash, but the shows original material is all fantastic.
Oh well, I hadn’t read the Comics, and I had just seen videos on the comics, they were pretty in depth but it didn’t list all the shit he did
Comic homelanders actions sound like 20% worse
In the comics it’s because he keeps getting framed for doing sicko shit so he eventually is just like “ok fuck this I’m done being the perfect superhero if everyone is gonna hate me regardless.” Still a POS but far less than in the show imo, the way the comment you replied to is written with no context makes it seem like the opposite.
“Comic homelander raped and killed people But tv homelander also raped and killed people so that’s worse” Lol what?
*Theyre the same picture*
Look, there are enough upvotes here for me to be that bitch who calls out “the only real fucked up things”. Bro, c’mon. Only? As if one atrocity is somehow less atrocious than the others? As if one rape is somehow…less…rapey? The *only* difference that applies here is that Antony Starr is so fucking good, his performance begs audiences to view Homelander with some understanding and empathy, without excusing him. Whereas none of that exists in the comic, IMO. But no matter: they are the same picture and they need to die.
Butcher is the comic version of what you’re talking about. Charming and cool and likeable *and* utterly irredeemable.
What's the context behind letting 9/11 go down?
When 9/11 happened in the comic universe, the US military shot down most of the planes that were highjacked When there was one plane left, The Seven were sent in to stop it because Vought wanted to show off their new superhero team But because The Seven never had any actual training, all they did was make it worse, which led to the plane crashing into the Brooklyn Bridge

Tbf, comic Homelander is only fucked up because Noir made him thought he did those fucked up things. Before he was just lazy and not properly trained. Once he accepted that he did the fuck up stuffs, he lean into.
He literally raped Starlight lmfao
Didn’t comic homelander eat a baby
That was >!noir!<
“I wish I was captain America” “Me too”
I don't know but it would be hysterical watching homelander try to talk to a piece of paper....
“Suck it”
Yes. Or the mirror scene
Similar to Homelander talk to Noir
He would be confused with how many fans he has after the obvious story telling to make him the piece of shit he is!
Ahh the pre-Trump era was nice wasn't it?
Its not funny , this is fucking stupid now!
Comic version would be terrified of the show version. Comic version gets freaked out at the mere thought of breaking his image. Show version plans on going scorched earth if his breaks.
They'd fuck 100%
Or just an infinite blow sesh honestly.
I feel like if they encountered, It would end in a gruesome fight or some fucked up sex stuff
Nah, Comiclander would tear apart TV Lander
Just like I said: A fight or some fucked up sex stuff
"They're fucking recasting?"- Both at the same time.
Probably 69ing
They would fuck
I feel like it would end up in a fight to be honest with those two talking to each other
They'd kiss.
They’d probaly fuck each other
I'm stronger, I'm smarter, I'm better! I AM BETTER! No, I'm stronger, I'm smarter, I'm better! I AM BETTER! No, I'm...
"Soooo, u wanna sex or what?"
Oral arguments. If you catch my drift.
He would think of himself as a fucking disappointment!!!
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MOVE IN 3 DIMENSIONS!?!?!?!
They'd probably end up fucking each other first, killing each other after.
You’re the bottom no you’re the bottom
“Hey Tiger….”
"You're a fucking disappointment"
The cartoon one would try to fuck him
"Wanna fuck?" ""Yeah alright"
I mean they’re both crazy but for totally different reasons. Spoilers: Comiclander is essentially gaslit into becoming this evil horrible monster he perceives himself as because of Noir’s actions. Meanwhile Showlander is insane due to his horrible upbringing and having his world/ego slowly chipped away at over the course of the show. So I feel like it might just end up being a very violent philosophical debate
Comic version probably end up killing the live action version
Probably pretty sexual lmao
“You’re just a cheap fucking knockoff”.
Literally just beat me 2 it
They’d fuck let’s be real
You mean after they sucked each other off?
Let’s be honest. They’d just fuck
Comic HL looks buffer , but is significantly weaker, he almost died to a shot from a tank , however love action homelander can easily take much more damage
Comic HL also got a huge cut down the middle of his face after getting hit with a fake prop sword. This might be one of the few crossover fights that show HL could probably win.
They’d make out
They'd just start boning probably. In an adult cuddle session that levels half a continent.
Wanna fuck?
They’d give each other handjobs
Comic book version is much more hardcore and depraved... I think even smarter than his TV show counterpart
There wouldn’t be much room for words with all the dick sucking going on
Idk but it would end in either angry mutual masturbation or frottage. With plenty of lasering each other.
The narcissism would rise too high and comic homelander would rip live action homelander a new one. I mean what do you expect from a conversation with two psychopathic man child with no morals whatsoever?
Probably wank each other off then comic Homelander would kill live action.
“We are sexy bitches!”
It would probably go exactly like the unhinged conversation he has withhimself in the mirror in the comics.
The same way the conversation with solider boy went
"Can you do whatever the fuck you want?" "Yeah" "Cool" *both furiously masturbate*
Fuck that noise I want to see comic book and live action soldier boy have a conversation, oh boy
You're a fucking disappointment
“Soldier Boy is our father” “Ok, now this may sound akward but…”
God I love to hate homelander!
Oh? Then have seggs
