Homelander storyline is starting to get thin
20 June 2022
The first four episodes of this season have been great, but the story is starting to get a little thinner than I thought it would.

I have no idea how Homelander keeps getting more and more unchecked power in a shady stockholding multinational conglomerate, especially when he's a product of that said conglomerate.

From the end of episode of 4 with Stan Edgar voted out, right into Ashley Barrett as CEO (not sure how that actually is a thing) to Homelander a part of board, it didn't make much sense. The world doesn't work like that, especially a Disney they are making fun of.

Basically, there's a thicker story they could have wrote here. We still don't know who the Chairman of Vought is (Edgar was the CEO), the stockholders of Vought, etc., all of the people outside of The Boys who can stop Homelander. I mean, he literally went from zero to in control of the world's most powerful company like nothing.

Not sure how things are going to be handled from here on out, but it's getting odd.
