It’s always been the villains carrying this dumpster fire.
Left Las Vegas, Nazi Jew, Soldier Chad, Stanick and Chudlander. Nobody who talks about this show mentions the heroes as a highlight, except for maybe “My wife’s son” Butcher but his badass cred went out the window the moment he stopped firing lasers and let his wife’s rape baby live.
Butcher could've just told Maeve to grab Homelander's brat while he and Soldier Boy went to town on Homelander. Then they can later ambush Neuman with Soldier Boy's special energy beam cannon attack. If Neuman doesn't die from that, she'll lose her powers, as Homelander described the survivors from the attack ''having the V burned out of them''. And if she does survive that attack, she'll be a powerless goon, easy prey for Kimiko or Butcher to kill. Done. Finito. Problem solved.
They can then have Soldier Boy go on the press later and say that Homelander was his son and release the video of Homelander screwing over those plane crash victims, as well as releasing evidence that shows Neuman being the head-popper, to justify why they had to be killed. The government can then use those incidents to have Vought be nationalized, so that Congress could control Vought, they can determine what the Supes do, what their limits are, and who gets Compound V. They can even have Hughie and Starlight raise Ryan to be a proper superhero, a better man than his dad.
The only reason there's a Season 4 is because the ''good guys'' are incompetent baboons.
This story is basically a villain protagonist tale, like Macbeth. People tune in to see Homelander and his ''friends'' foil the incompetent yahoos who pass for their enemies. Like, when they were trying to kill Neuman, they rule out bullets and acid because Butcher failed to kill her.......with a handgun. They're not even considering trying higher caliber weapons like .50 BMG snipers or something even bigger to JFK the bitch.
Also, with how powerful and popular Homelander is, it's amazing that he only has one rape-baby. I mean, realistically, conservative hick girls would be throwing pussy at him all the time whenever he visits a midwestern or southern US city or town. This fucker would be grabbing more pussy than Trump. Especially since unlike Trump, he's super-strong and can fly, so whenever he's not on the job, he can just go flying from one town to another banging hick babes, and he'd have the endurance and virility to keep on going. By now, Homelander should have an army of bastard children, or even some legal children from a spouse that the Vought company would have him marry to maintain his conservative image.
