The morons didn't realize you're not supposed to be cheering for Homelander.

[–] MorrisonMotel6@lemm.ee 16 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Granted, I'm a fucking idiot, but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander? He was an obvious piece of shit from the outset, and in my opinion, people from almost any political bent would have acknowledged that.

Like, I see this sentiment that "homelander was making fun of you the whole time and you didn't know it" meme, but I feel like it attacks a strawman that completely did not/does not exist.

Watch some interviews of people at maga rallies to find them.

but was anyone EVER rooting for homelander?

early on in the show's life, absolutely yes, i saw plenty of people doing just that

I've never watched an episode but have a general idea of the premise. It seemed pretty obvious that Homelander wasn't the protagonist from the basic understanding I had of the show and the promotional material.

I'd like to see a Homlander redemption story arc.
