They’re not standing there bc they’re trained for this, they’re standing there bc they know they’re powerless to do anything and can’t escape. They all huddled up around the cake as far from him as possible bc they all know their best hope of staying alive is to avoid attracting his attention and not piss him off any further in the hopes he may spare them. Almost everyone is scared of Homelander, but ironically nobody ever tries to run from him bc they know it would be absolutely useless, with the exception of last-ditch efforts after he’s already started lasering. You can’t outrun him, you can’t overpower him, you can’t hide from him, and there’s nothing you can put between you two that could stop him (except for the plot). Everyone freezes up anytime he’s in the room to avoid negative attention. Obviously it didn’t work out for them here, but I guarantee it’s all fear and not training

This sounds like an A.I generated script

Episode 5 definitely was definitely more enjoyable to me than any of the first 3 episodes. SPOILERS FOR S4E5!!! Loved the genuineness of Homelander's conversations with Ryan, and getting to see Butcher at his psychopathic best. Giancarlo stole almost every scene he was in. Was a bit surprised with how the virus was able to infect and kill the sheep in seconds. Something tells me that this virus won't be the answer to the problem that is Homelander. I strongly feel that Neuman will be the one to go by the end of the season, after being infected with the last dose of the virus left. How do you see it ending?

I think you completely misread this

Is this whole channel A.I?

incredibly surprised that you dont have more views or subscribers, keep up the amazing work man! youll go viral someday soon.

I respect that u have ur own opinion. But personally this entire season has been a terrible letdown after 3 phenomenal seasons of television. Homelander and butcher are the only characters who’s storyline’s are worth watching for anymore and this episode you talk about had about ten minutes of Homelander. The plot between Hughie and his mother is pointless and doesn’t need to exist at all and brings no benefits to the overall flow of the story. While the Homelander storyline within this episode is entertaining, it really only exists to continue to add awh and shock value to fans. Now the starlight plot between firecracker, oh my god it was awful. Firecracker, being a recently introduced character with no depicted powers or motive (apart from that cheaply written story during her childhood between starlight) really has gained little to no interest from me and I imagine many others. Starlight is a terrible character and whenever she’s on screen I just get filled with dread and regret as to why I ever put on the show, all she seems to do is consistently either complain about butchers presence or cry frantically about anything and everything. Now putting these two awful characters against each other creates no engagement for me personally. I’m honestly glad ur enjoying these recent episodes man because I wish I could. But the show isn’t hitting how it used to and it really shows.
