They already tried this in the show and homelander told them he'd rather be loved then feared but if they ruin his reputation he has no problem being feared because he has nothing left to lose at that point. So I don't think it's his greatest weakness anymore....
At best, it might be a way to try to control him. Make his PR team into a bunch of fatalist "we're all going to die anyway" types who wouldn't be afraid of telling the world about the man behind the image. He still wants to be loved though he'd settle for being feared, and they'll give him the adoration platform he wants if he sticks to the script they lay down for him.
Maybe it was show foreshadowing what to come, homelande loses everything and everyone goes after him to take him down before he destroys everything. Sigh
Reminds me of a bronx tale would u rather be loved or feared
I was gonna point that out too lol, if they ruin his reputation, he probably couldn't be stopped because he has nothing left to lose anyway
It could be interpreted as him bluffing for intimidation, he isn't that cool with that thought as he sounded probably
I loved the theory but as other people have pointed out once Homelander's brand is ruined there's nothing holding him back. As Homelander said "sure I'll lose everything, but then I'll have nothing to lose"
my exact thoughts
Milk.
Bread.
right, he will go scorch earth.
Yes his brand has also been tied to his weakness (severe psychological problems/narcissisism). His emotional and mental weakness and craving for adoration and love has been consistently the only thing short of tricking him that the protagonists and other villains have been able to exploit prior to S3
The actual way to beat Homelander is probably a supe like Mindstorm. Homelander might be physically strong, but his mind is clearly a weak point and just putting him in a constant nightmare seems like a sure fire way to defeat him. From there you can send him into the vacuum of space towards the Sun to perish.
that was i thinking too when i watched that episode. Homelander can hear heartbeat and sense body temperature,that would be difficult. I mean the supe who can explode heads could take him out easily too,but she needs him for her own plans
@@asiamarillshe cant, she tried it on starlight but she only got a bit of a nosebleed, remember the scene after she exploded bunch of peoples heads? Homelander is strong enough to negate her power completly given that he is much stronger than starlight
Someone with both telekinetic and telepathic abilities would be able to beat him for sure. If they introduce someone like Jean Grey or Scarlet witch that would do the trick
Nah , mindstorm could only stun sb for a few seconds and home lander is a far stronger supe so its not possible
@@shivamjha5578 It hasn't been shown that Mindstorm couldn't do it in his younger age. As Mindstorm got older, he could not manipulate other supes, only regular humans as his powers became less potent. However, when his powers were at their apex in his prime at a young age, he probably could, especially with how mentally unbalanced Homelander is. The fact that Soldier Boy was afraid of Mindstorm's powers, still tells you that he remembers his younger self being a threat to him personally. We also saw in Gen V that Cate could trap other supes in her mind, so again a supe like Mindstorm or Cate has a very real possibility of at least knocking Homelander out for a while, maybe long enough for another supe to either take away his powers like Soldier Boy can by blasting the Compound V out of him or by pushing him toward the sun out into the vacuum of space as Homelander still has to breathe and likely can't fly in space.
He has already said he would go "scorched earth" if people began to hate him as at that point he'd have nothing to lose. However a small point mentioned in the show is that Zinc is apparently the one and only thing that he cannot use his x-ray vision to see through. This is the only "weakness" he's been confirmed to have.
I was thinking about super hearing + loud noise but he shrugged off an explosion noise like nothing
@@tominieminen66 Maybe if there was a way to sustain that kind of noise level? Because an explosion doesn't really last that long.
@@arthurmartin4616 Ehh... explosion that close should definitely do the trick, he at least seemed completely unfazed
Of course extended noise would be way worse, but he should have shown at least some effect to make this his weakness
@arthurmartin4616 Well, it was the sonic noise things Butcher used as a distraction. That annoyed him, but he could still function
What I find interesting is that if you were to destroy homelanders brand, he would actually go farther off the deep end than he already has. In the show he said that if they destroyed his brand that he’d have nothing left to lose (or something like that) so it would open up a whole new problem for the show with him just being a flat out supervillain. Interesting as always matpat ❤
yea it was stated that the only thing holding homelander from killing everyone and everything is his narcissism and his need for consistent attention
The thing about having nothing left to loose is that you have lost everything lol
"Sure I'll lose everything, but then I'll have nothing to lose" is his exact phrasing
and that little quote kinda brings down the whole theory @@ViperOnRR
I was about to say that…..
the biggest issue with this is, they address this in the show, starlight tries to blackmail homelander, destroy his brand, but he just shrugs it off, explaining that while he loves his brand, he would just be fine with taking control back by force, describing how hed destroy the world
He doesn't just say that he'd be "fine with it," he goes so far as to say he's being held back by his reputation and that without it he'd have no reason to keep pretending to be a good guy. Almost implies part of him WANTS something to happen to his reputation so he doesn't have to behave anymore.
yea this is not a theory he’s basically just summarizing the show
Ya, he says something like “if you destroy my image then I don’t need to hold back anymore”
@@GigaLigma ....but we know that's not true; he is clearly shown to care the most about his image and approval, and he literally has mommy issues.
@@eavocado5890pppj It makes you wonder if he's actually just maintaining false bravado so people DON'T go after the one thing he really cares about 🤔
I think the scariest part about Homelander is how many people didn’t realize he was satire and are rooting for his redemption arc.
no
rooting for a fictional character dictate someone's iemrl feelings necessarily
He sort of gets a redemption arc in the comics. Until he gets killed by his own clone.
yeah the show is not serious stuff like that isnt going to happen. its a satirical show its not a drama
i’d be nice to see him better himself
"able to grab an f-16 fighter jet": shows a McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II
THANK YOU I WAS SO MAD AT THIS FOR NO REASON! GLAD SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED!!!
Blah blah blah
@@pb_monkey Nuh uh
dude I noticed that and was like "wait thats not an F-16"
Big problem with the theory. Homelander has even said himself that if he goes down, he'll take the world with him. Unless you're killing him, you can't beat him.
Whats stopping them (aside from like capturing and stuff) from pulling another translucent.
It's also entirely possible that he was bluffing solely to prevent Starlight from releasing the tape. It was quite an easy bluff to pull off, considering Starlight legitimately cares about humanity.
@@dautolover To be fair there is that. He's so powerful, beyond what anyone actually realises, nobody knows what he's capable of. So when he says he'll destroy the world, he may not actually be capable. But the others don't know that
Also: Same thing happened in the comics. Rep ruined, so he gathered as many supes as he could, killed the president, and took over the country.
He NEEDS to die anyway.
This "weakness" is addressed in the show when Starlight threatens to blackmail him. As Homelander himself says (something to the effect of), "I'd rather be loved, but I'll settle for being feared." The fact that he cares about his reputation is the only thing that keeps him in check, but that can only be exploited so far. If he loses that, he would likely just go on a rampage. So robbing him of the adoration that he craves would actually be the worst thing you could do.
He's now praised for who he is. He has nothing to fear anymore
From superhero to supervillain
Theory idea: You should make a Duolingo theory where you analyse the lore of the characters off of the stories in the app.
His brand/reputation was a weakness at first but yes he outgrew that as he started to take control of both Vought and his own life, but the change was initiated not by a spontaneous corporate/PR takeover but by the realization that he has a family bloodline. He literally seized power upon finding out that he was lied to and not actually infertile/impotent. So therefore, his real weakness once the brand goes away is his attachments to his humanity, specifically things like family, having a son or father or mother figure. The father & mother figure boats may have sailed so it seems now that his main weakness will be Ryan, and I mean that not just as in he loses Ryan's trust, but as in he comes to blows with his superpowered son, strong enough to melt Stormfront, and essentially the main one who can challenge him both emotionally and physically.
Hey Matpat,the jet Homelander threw in the comics was AV-8B Harrier which at empty weight is roughly 6,700lbs lighter than the F-16. Just noticed that mistake, love listening to ya theories!
You could have theorized Hughie teleporting Homelander near the Sun and leaving him to be pulled in by it's immense gravity. Even if Homelander was able to break away from the gravity (highly doubtful), he wouldn't be able to breathe in space.
Or Hughie can attempt to teleport himself inside of Homelander, essentially destroying everything in his body.
The Second would be akin to putting yourself in a shrinking titanium cube. You'd be crushed to death.
Inside out attacks won't work as he's just as durable in and out.
Also if hughie even for milliseconds goes near the sun he will burn to a crisp. So it would be a self sacrifice attack
@@thedoomslayer5863 It would still be a possible method.
@@thedoomslayer5863 well yea, if hughie takes any more temp v he will die anyways. so yes it would be a self sacrifice as designed.
For the first time in a while, Pat missed.
This theory was addressed in the show with Starlight trying to blackmail Homelander, who simply stated that he'd take power by force and wipe out entire cities if he must.
So this is definitely NOT the way they're gonna have to bring Homelander down.
They also recently missed on the GTA VI trailer video where they claimed Michael was in witness protection lol
This is just kinda like a filler theory where he goes over a bunch of random stuff and tries to loop them together for a clickable video, it’s nothing new really he sorta has to put these out until the time comes for a bigger theory. Even still, the power scaling stuff in the first half of the video was good, I think he should do more stuff like that because he doesn’t really have to consider the wider context and story of the show to do fun calculations of how far man throw thing.
Honestly not the first time in a while. Feels like the theory channels have been on a downward trend with gta vi being a painful example.
@@xxcombatbasher001xx i still dont even know what people found so bad about that theory aside from the one line about witness protection, it seemed pretty standard
What else did he theorize thats just already been proven false? I remember the genshin video being one lololol. I think I've heard of another but im not sure, was it a video on vikings? His team is known to make extensive research so they dont make any mistakes but i wonder how many times theyve messed up@@xxcombatbasher001xx
The thing about the line of Homelander not having anything to stand on tells you a bit about his flight ability. He has true flight ability, and not the ability to create his own leverage, like Omni-man can.
But he does that when he slices the plain?
@@malcolm_mal2055 why would he need leverage to use heat vision
@@malcolm_mal20551 that was his heat vision 2 if he flew at the plane then it would still break apart. He just could stop the plane safely because if he has nothing to stand on he can’t slow it down if he’s holding on to it. Any other attempts using his physical strength would just further damage the plane
@@RampClosed68 BRO , that wont work , its like putting blades through meat , he'll just destroy the part he's trying to lift the plane from making the survival rate go from 0% to -500%
Interesting
his weakness is that he hasn’t fought anyone that’s a challenge for him so he won’t get any better
I think the reason Butcher didn't die was because Homelander was shielding him while carrying him. So relative to Homelander, Butcher was at rest. While the air particles and other things which would've turned him to mush were blocked by Homelander. Similar to how fighter plane pilots are fine inside the plane at speeds at which humans would've become soup. Obviously the lift and stop would've still put immense amount of Gs on Butcher, which is why we see him waking up from being knocked out cold.
I think the acceleration would do a whole lot worse than causing unconsciousness. If a fighter pilot went from 0 to full speed, faster than an explosion, they would be dead even inside the cockpit. Your brain would be compressed on one side of your skull, for starters. It's like experience immense gravity for a split second.
Exactly- ur insides would liquefy
@@skillzorz101the comment assumes Butcher was accelerated at a more moderate pace. While being shielded from the blast, Homelander wanted to show Butcher something. So he kept him alive quite carefully since there were no signs of damage on Butcher.
But didn’t homelander say he’s just fine being feared? I mean I prefers being loved but he’ll accept fear also?
True, but living with power by fear leads to insanity. At least in most fiction it does.
@@JCasR3 By the time he goes insane humanity will be extinct
@@lunashenck Then he will be the classic ruler of nothing
He doesn't care as long as people think of him.
i think he was just lying to scare starlight
It's sad because over more than the past decade, i have been watching you. Now without you is like a shock given it's one of the best things i remember from my childhood. Saying that makes me feel ancient myself ❤
Please do more theories on the Boys! There is so much to unwrap in this show!
Homelander deadass one of the best written villains in cinema history. He's so unnervingly twisted it always makes for a great scene wherever he is.
Matpat should make a film theory on you@@PWRGEUTTP
Antony Starr's performance is incredible he just injects pure tension into every scene
@@ViperOnRRI love that in a cast interview when they were asked which of them is most like their character everyone with no hesitation points to Antony
And due credit to his actor, my god that man can scare me with just a look. 12/10
And he is funny in a dark way
Matpat is just creeping closer to insanity each video
@TROLLSDETAINEDbot
I know lol
IM SMARTER THAN MATPAT MY THEORIES ARE BETTER
IM SMARTER THAN MATPAT MY THEORIES ARE BETTER
Ik
My personal thoughts are that homelader is a big kid in some ways. A demented, tortured, powerful, sociopathic child. Being a weapon in a cold room from the beginning and nothing resembling a childhood happened. He's chasing comfort and love but can't seem to get it anywhere and throws tantrums. He's losing his parental figures and the rules he used to live under. He can either decide to just continue and use his power to take all the things he's basically already being given for his participation. Or he could learn the importance of other people. I'm not saying he's unresponsible for any of it. But sometimes early situations can teach you things that stop you from learning the basics. He will either tear apart his world trying to find any scap of meaning. Or he'll be able to change and avoid being the villain that needs to be taken down. But either way he's the only one who's going to be able to end his loneliness.
Im using this vid as inspiration for my harvard summer school essay. Wish me luck and thank you for sharing bro🙏🙏
Matpat explains the surface lore of homelander for 15 minutes and comes to the same conclusion they tried and failed to achieve in the show, really said "if we had prep time we'll plan our funeral" 👁️👄👁️
Exactly man , I wasted my 15 mins
As far as Homelander’s lasers go, he has control over how intense and hot his lasers get. Truly a terrifying thought to have in the back of your head.
im smarter than matpat my theories are better

Hello Death Battle fans
Death battle reference. Nice
This definitely needs a part 2 because this was more about his powers not about his weakness and how to beat him.
Exactly
Yeah maybe Ian can do something there
Because he doesn’t have a weakness 💀
You right
Now that's never happening since he's retiring.
His weakness is crowbars
Thanks you for coming up with all thse theories matpat
Matpat took the easy way out on this one, really wanted to see what he would come up with for a PHYSICAL weakness
I think the answer is in the other comments and videos comparing him to characters from other settings like Omni-man or the OG Superman.
His only physical weakness is the one he shares with all heroes and villains in fiction: Power creep.
@@Judgement_Kazzy💀💀
Physical weakness, mention of his x-ray vision or an in-depth explanation on how to take down Homelander's brand.
@@professionalramenchefYeah and it will erase his powers too
This is definitely one of the most enjoyable shows on television now. Homelander is an S-tier villain. Perfectly acted by Antony Starr.
Edit: A to S. He could stand shoulder to shoulder with Thanos and Vader.
What tv channel is it on? I thought it was an Amazon prime exclusive
@@LokelyConedIt is just an Amazon Prime TV Exclusive
Oof not even S💀
is he a likeable character like a lot of villains or is he just flat out evil and not likeable at all?
@ashenzenden you have to be a very specific person to like homelander. Is is basically pure psychotic evil in the show with no redeeming factors. Every time he is on screen it's tense as you don't know what he is going to do.
We will remember you forever matpat
Thanks for everything Matt
Correction to 4:32: that’s an AV-8 Harrier.
Empty weight is 14,000lbs. I would measure it by its empty weight because you typically don’t store a plane fueled up with all of its weapons mounted.
beat me to it
@@wanton47same lol I saw Harrier and heard F16 my brain snapped
Air intakes give it away... And the droopy wings :)
Its a Harrier 2 bc of the roundend nose+ different wings.
when i saw that and heard f16 it got me kinda angry ngl
MatPat, not only does Homelander save butcher from the explosion, he also saved the baby that I'm pretty sure was on the OTHER SIDE of the room. He is crazy fast.
It was revealed later during season 3, that the baby has teleportation powers
@@benjoyce8034 what

hey mat pat i really love your videos and there so interesting and I love theory wear!!
Butcher mentions that this is their (the seven's or any supe with a PR team) weakness in the third episode
I'm pretty sure that the plane at 4:32 is not an F-16 but rather an Harrier, which is recognisable at it's rounded air intakes on the sides, where F-16s have a single intake below the cockpit in a smiley shape.

@@kieferrea4819Bro what that doesn’t even make any sense, he’s not chasing trends he’s just chasing good theory material.
@@Rablisineabbinsine it makes a lot of sense, even if you don't agree
Fun twist on the word “beat”.
While he would be beaten politically, his implosion would just help him become the villain in everyone’s eyes while he actually becomes a supervillain, hellbent on destroying everyone else
Just my thoughts
Im also sure this theory means beating what Homelander actually is, not the person itself, everyone hates Homelander as in the concept itself but the person who is Homelander is basically going around killing everyone, so its a win-lose situation, it's like how real world internet personalities get exposed and basically being hated by everyone but just because they hate them doesn't mean the person behind the personality isn't gone off the face of the earth, they're still around doing things and could return as an even worse person than before

I don’t think taking down the brand would do anything. There’s a convo between Homelander and Starlight where she threatens to take down his brand and he says “Yes, maybe i will lose everything, but then I’ll have nothing to lose”
The greatest power of Homelander isn't his ability to destroy everything and everyone, but his insane endurance. if he wasnt literally unkillable, the show would have ended in like 2 episodes
How do you even get that? He's got clearly very low limits. The weight of just three guys was holding him down but he freed himself barely and escaped. in the same fight punches that barely scratch a wall did hurt him. Sorry but Homelander should be toast by just using handheld anti armor weapons from WW2. He would die to kinetic anti armor weapons thats for sure.
In season 1 they do mention the militairy threw everything they had at him to see if they could hurt him and it failed
@@hannesromhild8532His powers are linked to 'what the plot needs them to be'. At times he's Evil Superman, and at times he's (strangely) Evil Superwimp.
@@hannesromhild8532 The three guys who all had v running through them giving them super strength? Yea, watch the show properly next time
Oh and two of which who had powers equal to homelander, soldier boy being near equal, and butcher having homelanders powers, minus flight.
please do a video about the "entities" on "Talk to me" movie
I recommend doing a analysis on "Emesis Blue" next.
worth noting he not only breaks through normal humans with a punch, he routinely punches through "supes"
As other people have said, Homelander losing his brand would be a much WORSE situation for everyone. They deliberately make this a point in the show. If he has nothing to lose, all bets are off.
Usually enjoy Film Theory videos but I think this misses the mark a bit. His brand was sort of a weakness at first but he outgrew that as he started to take control of both Vought and his own life, but the change was initiated not by his corporate/PR takeover but by the realization that he has a family bloodline. He literally seized power upon finding out that he was lied to and not actually infertile/impotent, and it just can't get more on the nose than that. So therefore, his real weakness once the brand goes away is his attachments to humanity, specifically a son or father. The father boat may have sailed but yea, his weakness is mostly sorta Ryan now I think.
New food theory episode idea! "Does a Spoonfull of sugar REALLY help the medicine go down?"
The fact that Homelander can outrun a c4 explosion but GALLOPED and lost to get the middle chair from Stan is extra funny.
Matpat: How to defeat Homelan-
Omni Man: Think Matt,think!
Film theory is the only channel I am willing to sit the merch segment through. (Also the other thoerist channels)
5:03 for anyone wondering why matpat didnt say why he was distracted its because homelander was doing some weird stuff with one of the female superheroes if you know you know
oh my god no
I'd also like to point out the Death Battle of Homelander vs Omni-Man where they show while Homelander is an impressive hero he's as they put it "A big fish in a small pond" Compared to most other heroes in cinema he's not that tough.
Niether are most of the superman parodies
@PWRGEUTTP no one loves you or anyone else tied to UTTP. As for @matthewstaplers1154, just ignore the UTTP guys. I just needed to vent after seeing at least 50 of these things all over.
Homelander stood no chance there

Thanks for breakibg my youtube with your merch film theory
Wow. The quintessence of subtlety.
The best part of this series is how the fans always act like they’re part of the universe and act like civilians reacting to the insanity in this show
It feels like they haven't watched the whole show with this one because its a plot point they've already done, trying to control him through his ego but he turns it on them saying he'll just be a villain
I love how it's made very clear just how much control he has over his powers, and still refuses to use that control 90% of the time.
Homelander after Matpat reveals his weakness:
Homelander: They found out HOW I'm f**ked *shortly gets anxiety attacked*
I find it kind of funny how people are powerscaling Homelander as weak and stuff like that when we haven't even seen ANYTHING from him yet. We don't know the full extent of his powers, especially not in the show. I feel like we'll see some crazy feats in S4.
Yeah, why push yourself when you don't have to? He could just fool around because to regular people he feels like god
He's weak, SoilderBoy and Queen Maeve where able to make him bleed, and they're "naturally" ocurring supes
@@jesusramirezromo2037there are no natural Supes. They are all made from compound V
@@jesusramirezromo2037 thats like saying omni man and mark are weak because they got beaten by viltrumites that arent descendants of Argoll. Homelander cannot be killed by normal means or anyone below very strong supes in the world.
@jesusramirezromo2037 Soldierboy is literally invincible and Maeve had trained intensly beforehand. I reckon homelander hasn't done a day of excersize in his life (something that might change next season)
It’s crazy to think how Homelander is so threatening to other characters in universe but would realistically lose to someone like Omni Man.
@@PWRGEUTTPyou're so smart yet you resort to bait comments to advertise your channel
It's like they said on Death Battle, Homelander's a big fish in a small pond. Compare him to actual metahumans and he's nothing.
if Homelander knew how to fight he’d be way more terrifying
Omniman is a beast, though. He could probably solo the MCU and DCEU except for maybe time hax.
Yea homelander is a character that's meant to just be a bully and if he ever went up against anyone remotely near him in power he'd be curb stomped bcs he doesn't know how to actually fight
I’ll miss him so much I’ve watched all of his videos across all channels he was the only one who could make me laugh so hard I cried goodbye Matpat for now I know we’ll all catch you later

12:46 whoever said these were good examples, It wasn't me. To make it worse, an image of Logan Paul during THAT day.
That’s the point he’s saying that most influencers are bad people

Pretty sure if Homelander did try to “go rogue” like in his threat to Starlight, Vought would easily bring him down. He was almost beaten by just three guys. And two of them were on Temp V which Vought created. Vought could easily outsource Temp V to an elite squad which they possess ample numbers of and the squad would rip Homelander apart.
Possibly, but Vought has always been holding the tiger by the tail when it comes to Homelander. Their tactics of keeping him in check (other than strapping a nuke to him) has always been psychology. Of course now with temp v things may be different. Also depends whether they use some of the tactics/plotlines used in the comics
well, one of these three guys is possibly the second stronger Supe in history, and the entire plan on beating homelander there was to hit him with soldier boy's beam to take away homelander's powers
Despite all its insane superhero trappings, I feel like this show at its core is actually about family. Homelander's brand/reputation was a weakness at first but he outgrew that as he started to take control of both Vought and his own life, but the catalyst of those changes were the realization that he has a family bloodline. He literally seized power upon finding out that he was lied to and not actually infertile/impotent. He hated being controlled/lied to and so his methods to achieving freedom from control was to control and lie. These methods could eventually alienate Ryan, who is currently his main anchor to his humanity by being a form of psychological redemption as HL desires to be a good dad, so I think that his real weakness, once/if the brand fully goes away, is his attachments to his humanity, specifically things like family and having a son or father or mother figure. Without any other father or mother figures to lean on I think his main weakness will end up being Ryan, and not just as in HL loses Ryan's trust, but as in he comes to blows with his superpowered son, who is powerful enough to melt Stormfront, and essentially the main one who can challenge him both emotionally and physically.
That would be most realistic and most humiliating end for Homelander. He isn't the real threat, corporations are in this. He's just the tip of the iceberg
the show has one of the worst inuniverse consistent logics
If you make other videos, discuss other attributes of his super powers like super endurance, super senses (smell, hearing, memory?). And super screaming.
new theory about the next harry potter movie harrys child has a piece of voldermorts soul
Is always a bit weird when Mat Pat takes a swing into powerscaling. But is always interesting nonetheless
Yeah it’s a nice experience
5:05 yeah “distracted”
Thank u for everything u have done for us over the years . We hope u have a amazing future . Goodbye 👋
Really waiting for a FROM theory right now
Imagine Death Battle's Omni-Man vs Homelander, but with MatPat instead of Omni-Man.
Its just matpat soundly explaining to homelander how, if he actually decided to do whatever he want, the world's governments would just launch their nukes at him to at least heavily injure and knock him out, then send him in a rocket to the moon.
@@projekttaku1 nukes do nothing they already threw a nuke at him while he was a baby
Even with all that power Omni-man would absolutely decimate him, as stated by the creators of both shows. So imagine how powerful Omni-man is, even without lasers.
we’ve already established that Omni-Man is way stronger
@@user-fd2ce5qo5cyeah, it’s also really boring to compare them because they are simply on different levels and stories. I’m not sure why everyone spends so much time talking about this. Omni Man would win(duh). There is nothing more to it.
@@Nobody-pq5gg Mostly cuz Homelander is an annoying little prat, and it's fun to see him get absolutely dunked on, which tbh actually showcases how good the actor is at portraying him, cuz if they annoy you that much, it means the actor is really really good.
cap, people letterly underrastimate homelander all the time and it's a dumb thing to say.
Plutonian would decimate all of them.
Good bye matpat we'll miss you❤️
As expeced it didn't involve a solution similar to the one used on Translucent. Though I would love to see one like that.
Homeland without a brand to care about is vastly more terrifying. I really hope season 6 goes that route cause it could really reinvigorate the series at that point
Only 5 seasons planned right?
Did matpat forget the scene where homelander threatens starlight saying that he'll just go on a rampage and rule as a dictator claiming that he would prefer to he loved but is also okay with being feared
yeah, but we know that's not true from the many more scenes that disproved that.
@@eavocado5890pppj Exactly Homelander was bluffing when he said that because he knew him and Annie were in a private area to scare her if he said that in public the people would turn on him in a heartbeat.
There have been a few cases of Mat not getting certain details right like saying the Sonic movie was released by Sony when it was actually Paramount
I haven't finished, but I think you should add a #4 to that list of Homelanders most iconic powers list Mr Film Theory man 3:23, cause time and time again does the show stop for a character to fearfully say,"Careful! Homelander could probably hear us." And indeed, one of Homelander's other most iconic things is that super hearing that not only lets him eavesdrop on any conversation in his immediate vicinity, no matter the size of the building or the barriers, and that it's also useless to hide if he comes looking for you because he'll hear your heartbeat. Not only that, Homelander talks about how he listens in on people's breathing and heartbeats to be able to tell when they're afraid of him or not during their interactions, or if they're lying.
You sorta pointed it out but, to be able to grab Billy AND the baby faster than the c4 could explode without hurting either takes some crazy control over his own strength
4:32 Matpat has the jets wrong here. Notice the two intakes and wing landing struts indicating that the jet is in instead a harrier jet not an f16 which has only one intake at the bottom. The American version of the harrier, the AV-8B has an empty weight close to 14000 lbs.
Omni Man: “I’m gonna feed you your own heart.”
Pls I need to know if you can find a wonka theory since it just came out
Just noticed that around 9:07 the spelling of aluminum changes to the british version briefly
These are the kinds of theories I first came to the theory channels for. Feat measuring for power scaling, looking at areas of a show that I wouldn't have thought about, and making predictions based off those reasonable calculations.
I think we all know that the best way to beat homelander is to bring out omni man.
Even then thats an overkill
Nah just bring out Spiderman, that mf slams Homelander and the verse.
@@Dickinthesenutzs27 okay bro, spiderman is literally my favourite hero oat but he does NOT clap homelander. You can hate, lowball and underestimate him all you want but spidey is never beating a superman knockoff, ever.
You can tell that Mat didn't watch the boys close enough, as he would have known that they tried that and he was like "I would go full R and you never go full R"
Goodbye Internet - The Theorist.
I’m glad I saw their boys video, considering I finished all 3 seasons, so hearing Matt talk about Homelander is something I wasn’t expecting
