Actor Antony Starr, who played the villain Homelander in the famous web series “The Boys”, has recently told in an interview that he warned his fans that those who consider his character as a hero, Homelander is not the hero of any story.
Antony Starr has further said that I also see such people who consider Homelander as their idol, those people have to understand by stopping them.
Considering Homelander as an idol is very dangerous because Homelander was very violent and mentally unstable and used to misuse power. If someone is taking inspiration from him then it is a matter of great concern.
He further said that such creators in the show deliberately cast Homelander in such a character that despite being a superhero, he was morally very low.
Forcing the audience to think which is a hero, a powerful person or the one who used his power correctly.
This misunderstanding has had a very bad impact on social media. Antony Star has said that people are influenced by his characters and style. And they ignore their reality, which is very worrying. Characters like Homelander seem challenging and interesting, but I would never want anyone to get inspired by this character and consider him an ideal in real life.
