He blows up a plane in like the first ever episode or something. They make it VERY obvious he is the bad guy from the start. It’s impossible not to understand that and yet
I started rewatching it recently (I haven’t seen the newer seasons). There is an argument that that plane was an accident. He lasered the hijacker and destroyed the controls. At minimum, it’s incredibly careless though, and he’s still at fault for it and for not really giving a shit about the people on the plane. It’s possible it’s on purpose, but they don’t make it explicit that he’s evil then. Only that he’s selfish.
The plane with the senator though? Yeah, he did that on his own on purpose.
Well when the education system of the US essentially teaches:
Nazi bad because they hated Jews. That’s it. Don’t look at why they chose Jews as a target to scapegoat societies material problems. Don’t look at how closely connected fascism is to the interests of capital. And definitely equate them with socialism because they had that word in their name. Ignore the fact they put Marxist in concentration camps first.
And then teach:
Stalin bad because he was a “authoritarian” and purposely starved his people while eating all the wheat with a big spoon. This is all that socialism ever is. It’s just when one guy has all the power. Don’t look up what “Soviets” actually were. Definitely don’t teach about the country that was most responsible for stopping and defeating the Nazis. It was all just our big bomb we dropped on a completely different country that was entirely needed and not an unnecessary show of force to the USSR.
Its easy to manipulate “educated” people to working against their own interests.
And they still didn’t get it.
This. None of them caught the obvious Stormfront name, nor can they see that homelander and his fans are analogous to Trump and his supporters.
In the spinoff Gen V, they even have

A fascist movement of supes that wants to subjugate humanity under the slogan “Make America Super Again”

At this point sarcasm does not work. It just makes them think you agree.
This is the unfortunate truth. We have to address it directly, sarcasm does not do it. They don’t have the self awareness for sarcasm to work.
Stop making my show about an alt-right villain with a god complex polical libruls
“We are like Homelander, not the nazi lady!”
Breakfast loyalty
Can relate.
I’m 100% sure they think Homelander represents out of control leftists.
They think Homelander is the good guy. I’m not fucking kidding
I haven’t even seen the show and that “Homelander is not the good-guy” is literally all I know about it!
All I know is that he drinks boob milk.

and yet indeed
Homelander is their new punisher… except homelander is a bad guy.
I mean, The Punisher is also a bad guy, and The Punisher would be the first person to point that The Punisher is a bad guy.
