So the man who isn’t president anymore is still on his mind? I’ve read some of the comic books but I guess I’ve grown weary of super hero deconstruction. Is it worth watching? I’ve been reading some classic Superman and Spider-Man lately.
Literally no one talks about it in the slightest except when Homelander is involved.
They keep trying to up the ante and make him more and more villainous to combat his fandom, and it has failed every time because no one else is remotely interesting or likeable.
So if you are the type who can enjoy a show like that, its probably enjoyable enough.
As an outside observer (I haven't seen the show) I couldn't name a single character except Homelander. I don't think I've ever even seen one in a meme. From where I stand, all anyone cares about is that one character. Not that "morally gray Superman" is exactly a brand new concept, and in fact was done literally in MK vs. DC, but it's more interesting than any description I've heard of any other character. The males are all heckin' misogyrinos and the women are all sluts. Wow, riveting stuff.
Same, I've not watched it but several in my circle gush about it.
I have seen one meme that got half popular involving "The Deep" which was just Deep Thought With the Deep, just a pun on his name.
But from what I get Homelander is unique among the "morally broken Superman" concepts because of the whole corporate and PR angle that dominates his character, which isn't common to the genre in general.
