Still saves more lives than Homelander

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

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.

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.

SpoilerHomelander is the villain in the boys.

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

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

Counterargument: Luke Skywalker.

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

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

Not really a hero’s move

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

Myself? I'd prefer bacta. You NEVER say no to bacta

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

Hiding that piece of info behind a spoiler tag chef's kiss.

It's close to the second ghost rider (and maybe the first, been awhile since I dug up my old comics) who didn't have powers until innocent blood was spilled (though typically it was the villain who spilled it).

The Dave Chappelle bit about Bill Cosby being a superhero.... but he rapes.

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I want more of this. Reminds me on the anime Darker than Black, where those with power always had to fulfill some contract to use their power, else they'd die.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Man, this anime is so underrated. I like it a lot. I question the artistic direction on the second season, but at least the ending wrapped up the whole show nicely.

A little correction, nobody really know what happens when a contractor doesn't do that side-effect thingy. It is never mentioned if they would die, nor that it's even implied. The way I see it, they'd simply develop strong impulse to do so.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

There is no sinking ship. Fake news!

And here was I thinking that this character was so terrible that it caused Stan Lee to spontaneously spring back into existence in order to make that opinion known.
