The Boys Only Has Itself To Blame For Homelander’s "Antihero" Confusion

There have been question marks surrounding The Boys‘ biggest villain, with some calling Homelander an antihero, but this problem has been created by the show itself. Amazon’s The Boys has portrayed Homelander as the franchise’s big villain, and the corrupt leader of the Seven who threatens and intimidates his way to gaining whatever he wants. The only reason Homelander hasn’t gone rogue and started a killing spree is due to his deep desperation for public admiration. Homelander seeks validation from others, which is why he adopts the role of a hero, even if he doesn’t care much for who lives and who dies.
