What should I hyperfixate on today?

German commercial for Magic the Gathering/Marvel Super Heroes starring Daniel Brühl

Okay, stay with me here…but…

Billy Butcher as a Vought Supe, Vaako style.

(So cute) Mask on as soon as he sees a camera

It's not even until she's done taking the picture that he realizes that his reaction was completely compulsive

Someone worded this better than I could - the beauty of Antony’s Starr’s portrayal of Homelander is that he had no other performance / interpretation to base it off of.

He had the comics (bad and also different) and a vague “Superman but evil”. He had to (or rather got to) craft the character into his own vision of who Homelander should be, with very little to go off of.

Every choice made is Starr’s interpretation to who Homelander should be.

Kripke even said by season 5 Antony was deciding most of the character moments for Homelander that Kripke had forgotten about - for example it was Antony who added that Homelander would try to impress his dad by drinking bourbon, because at the end of the day Homelander himself is still a child seeking approval. That kind of brilliance was all Starr, with very little influence or direction, at least in the beginning.

It would not be wild to say Antony Starr’s Homelander rivals Heath Ledger’s Joker as the best superhero villain in filmed history. That isn’t to say he *wins* necessarily (obviously it’s hard to compare a 5 season show vs. 1 movie).
