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.

SpoilerHomelander is the villain in the boys.

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

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

Counterargument: Luke Skywalker.

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

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.

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.
