Message: <blockquote data-quote="jian" data-source="post: 9589408" data-attributes="member: 78087">To be fair to The Power Fantasy, there are escalating reasons over 30 years of backstory about why the Six are pretty hardened about murder and loss of life, but narratively they don’t have to be there. Gillen put them there so that the first time we see Heavy and Etienne interact, Heavy is threatening to murder Texas and Etienne agrees to murder a rather smaller number of people (about two dozen) so that he won’t. That is as edgelord and tiresome as hell.For the record, I don’t think Homelander is an interesting character - he’s marginally more engaging on TV thanks to Anthony Starr’s acting chops, but at the end of the day he’s just another brutal fascist murderer who happens to not need guns to kill. So is Omni-man, but the marginally interesting thing about him is that we don’t know that when we first meet him, and he at least tries (and honestly mostly fails) to become a better person when given the chance.</blockquote>
