@LukeFraney@gequib2_0@NewComga@esjesjesj The far right stereotype is not a bunch of average dudes telling everyone they are God, cmon. Yall have lost the plot, figuratively and literally.
@gequib2_0@NewComga@esjesjesj You are missing the point. Homelander is not a proxy for a normal dude. Besides the fact you’re forgetting what he actually represented when the show started, which I addressed, when he became a more specific political satire, it was about Trump, not Ted from Oklahoma.
@robhueter@NewComga@esjesjesj Dude rewatch the episode where he goes back and kills the people that locked him up
That’s the toxic masculinity that republicans grow up with on majority
Like and not a buzzword it’s masculinity that hurts the people around you it’s a real thing bro
@gequib2_0@NewComga@esjesjesj I have no problem learning when I don’t understand. That is not the case here. You misunderstand if you think Homelander is representative of an individual, ordinary Republican man. He became representative of their corrupted fantasy perhaps, but always represented more as well.
@robhueter@NewComga@esjesjesj In EVERY WAY he was
Dude like hungry for power
The strong live weak die
A very republic way of thinking
Like look at the Roman republic it was barbaric era
He’s an egotistical maniac with power
IE: republican
I’m not gona insult you at all if you really wanna learn ask
@PhillipAVilches@SurlyWanderer@NewComga@esjesjesj Sure, after season 3 you could see the modern conservative political parallels, but for systems not average, generic citizens. Homelander has always represented systems, ideals, fantasies, leaders… the comment I responded to was not a proper analysis of his character.
@loebsleads The first 3 are inarguable imo:
Tom Brady
Jerry Rice
Lawrence Taylor
I’m really struggling with the 4th. Jim Brown and Reggie White are the best candidates, I believe.
@jamelljohnson_@Maverick_SZN Kobe requires volume, he’s not an efficient scorer. Ain’t happening with MJ. Lebron and Steph, while less defensively excellent because of Steph, are raining 3s, running pick&roll, and getting to the hoop with ease in a flurry. Make it take it, they’re never giving the ball up.
@robhueter@PewterReport@matty4_matera Who's blaming the 2021 result on that draft? I just made the point that drafting Trask was a completely asinine decision in that why draft for the future when you have the goat. Certainly could have got a solid backup on D or maybe moved a few places to get Creed Humphrey.

@lorxell Since we never got any word one way or another if Ryan lost his powers (he just got knocked out) I’d say Ryan- if he did lose his powers then Kamiko
@SurlyWanderer@NewComga@esjesjesj You’re overly reducing a character that represented several things but no ordinary anything. Besides Superman subversion, he was indictment on corporate fascism and celebrity culture, the military industrial complex, manufactured patriotism, and authoritarian populist prototype
@robhueter@NewComga@esjesjesj Insecure loser using the power he did nothing to earn to bully people he thinks are weaker than him.
Am I describing Homelander or a Republican?
@ravenswizard0@Humanipathic@lorxell At the end, Butcher was trying to say they could start over now that they were both just regular people… right before Ryan told him he’s also an awful person and he wants nothing to do with him.
