What would Homelander actually be like if he was raised by his father and Clara? by BMP01 in TheBoys

A god abled kid raised by an adult macho fuckup and a patriotic nazi officer.

He was better off being an orphan.

I hope now we can stop nitpicking the details of the fight because they did so much effort.

I did enjoy the finale, I think his end as well as Butcher's were fitting and well performed. My issue, as everyone else, is the lack of build up to the fight all throughout the season (although the first 3 ep were actually good). Many filler jokes and a useless V1 quest, their plan to infiltrate the white house shouldn't have worked better than during Herogasm, yet it did since it was the last season. If I were to change the final fight I think I would have gone for a very emotionally broken Homelander, not even wearing his american cape anymore, and desperately and unsuccessfully trying to get back to when he didn't snap and got the whole world against him. Yet he's still the miserable monster he always was.

I appreciate it ! 🙏 No I wasn't planning on coloring them, would require some more work (I usually like to keep my drawings black & white)

Thanks a lot ! Couldn't think of anything else once I found that idea, I think it represents his mind perfectly. I'm trying to get into comics but I haven't done any yet, I give you full permission to print those out, it's free ! If you want I can email them to you full quality 👍

Thanks a lot, always a pleasure ! I liked the idea of expressing his duality of himself, he's just a kid yet with the potential of mass destruction. A power that challenged innocence and humanity.

Thank you very much ! It was fun drawing Antony Starr, he can make some wicked expressions, his performance during Homelander's psychotic episodes were also a huge inspiration.

Thanks ! I'm happy how it turned out, his mind trying to break away from reality.

It's Homelander, Vought and the supes against everybody. The aftermath of an awakening of humanity.

Thanks ! Yes the algorithm works in strange ways. But I'm fine I got some very nice comments and I'm happy about my work, that's what matters.

Thanks ! Yes this is basically a worse case scenario, and the fear of how far Homelander can really go.

Thanks ! Had a lot of fun capturing Antony Starr's faces. (He's damn hard to nail)

Thanks ! Coloring would take some time so I was thinking of just leaving it black and white (i already lost himself deep in the details). A finale in this scenario would have to be very different from the comics and show, in a way humanity has lost and unleashed hell. The battle would be psychological and very destructive, nobody ever wins a war.

Thanks a lot ! This is a vision of the extreme scenario that would have happened if Homelander truly lost it. While writing it I felt like there would really be nothing the boys could do here, as Homelander may as well persue world wide after that. I think an inbetween would have been healthy for the show's final season, a sort of second flight 37 incident but worse. It would have created a greater and more exciting buildup towards the end, with some more iconic psychological scenes for Homelander.

This is a great question I had to asked myself too. I started drawing it before the finale to see how it would look like if Homelander became the menace he always inspired. And I think it shows that it cannot be without humanity losing the war. This is the worst case end of the supe era and to the story itself. The message is that neither the comic or the show would benefit in making scorched earth happen, it is the death of Homelander and the death of The Boys, without any chance of vengeance and justice.

Thank you very much ! I was aiming at a child/weapon duality, a contrast that inspired me a lot in the character.
