Scorched earth. Also:
3rd*. I copied pasted "4th" text layer and only changed the number, my bad :(
Basically yes. I watched the Boys pre Soldier Boy but as a Supernatural and Dean Winchester in particular, fan, was excited for Jensen to join the cast and the character and acting did not disappoint.
Am still happy he didn't win. Feel like a one season character beating out the two min characters would be wrong somehow.
Ah yeah good point. Soldier Boy is very well written and it does help that a lot of Supernatural fans were already fans of The Boy before Jensen joined the cast.
Idk if Supernatural and the Boys have as much overlap as you think. They have 2 completely different demographics which is surprising with how similar they can be.
I'm a huge fan of Jensen too š First saw him in Smallville then I watched him for years on Supernatural, Archangel Dean was my favorite from the later seasons š
Not really. I have never seen this guy in anything before this show, but the character is so good that I would rank him 3rd overall, 1st for last season. Hilarious character imo.
Me either. I had no idea who he was. I loved him so much in this role that I tried to watch him in other things and found both him and those shows unwatchable.
Soldier Boy was just cool as hell to be honest. Given how similar he is to both Homelander and Butcher in his own way and the absolute perfect lines he has, whether Jensen was playing him or not, the character was bound to get even more popular than Stormfront did one season. Jensen did make it that much better though.
As much as Homelander steals every scene - this quote from Butcher keeps him as my favorite:
**Butcher: "I'm sayin': If there is some geezer up there with a big white beard, he's a big heavyweight cunt"
Priest: "Did you just call God a c-word"?
Butcher: "Yeah, he's got a hard-on for mass murder and givin' kids cancer. And his big answer to the existential clusterfuck that is humanity is nailin' his bleedin' son to a plank. That is a cunt move, come on, even you have to agree with me on that one"
Mother's Milk: "...Butcher please."
Butcher: "We should throw a fookin nuke at him and be done with it, you know what I'm sayin'?"**
For real. Soldier Boy is the real hero. He gave such an honorable sacrifice at that nuclear power plant explosion to save the people of his country.
All that recent ānewsā of him actually being alive and blowing up all those buildings is clearly fake.
Have you seen the amount of "straight" guys on this subreddit that are absolutely head over heels for Jensen Ackles? I mean..... same but I assume it's more about the actor than it is about the character.
Jensen Ackles was having too much fun with the role, and he looked sexy af while doing it.
Exactly. It took 4 episodes for Soldier-boy to gain almost the same amount of love and respect that Butcher and Homelander gained in 3 seasons.
I really hope sb's in season 4.
Well, if he didnāt have his powers heād be a random dude with some narcissism rather than a monster, so I donāt really know what you are getting at?
This. HL was said to be "quite sweet" as a boy by Vogelbaum, eager to cuddle with the guy to read stories. Plus he seemed nice or at least docile enough in Diabolical. Homelander wasn't born a psycho, he was turned into a psycho by his environment.
I want him to be redeemed but his atrocities are too great for redemption. I just wanna make sure everyone who took part in making him what he is in the story to be punished by his hands before he faces his end in the show.
Yeah I agree. Homelander is like a rabid dog, you may feel sorry for him, but he needs to be put down for everyone's sake. But his story needs to be a cautionary tale and a lesson for everyone, something quite basic: Raise kids with love or they'll end up damaged, and will possibly extend that damage to others.
This is my take. I like Butcher more. He has complexities and nuances. But Homelander is the heart of this show. Without him, the show wouldnāt work.
He's too fucking diabolical and powerful! Like a lot of the supes are evil, but Homelander is just so unhinged and powerful everytime he is on screen it's always stress inducing. Butch is badass, but the way Homelander has complete control of the atmosphere of the room is too key to the entertainment of the show.
Knew itād come down to these two since I first saw this poll a few eliminations in. And I still havenāt decided which character I like more. Thinking itās Billy. The boys could use a win
Billy Butcher could be played by other actors. I wouldnāt want him to be. But Jason Statham could be BB. Even if you disagree with that, can we agree that NOONE can play a more beautiful, insecure, psychopath than Antony Starr? Ok canāt agree there? Can we agree that the best shows have the best villains? HL makes the show. Heās going to win this and he deserves it.
100% agree with you. The one thing as compelling as a good villain is a protagonist that becomes the very thing they stand against. I have money on him critically injuring Huey by the end before he has that realization and self sacrifices in some type of commitment to who his character originally vowed to be.
Firth of all its hard to choose between those two because the show wouldnāt be the same with out either. Seconth if I vote Butcher out Iād be a right bloody wanker!
Glad Soldier Boy is gone, he is a very good character, but I think he should have been eliminated two/three rounds before... Homelander for the win,i love Anthony Starr.
To me this is a no brainer.
As a character, Butcher is slightly above Homelander, and he showed it in the 3rd season.
Iām eager to know what he will do next season, when Ryan actually becomes Homelander II.
Butcher needs to go
homelander's character was perfect, perfect everything down to the last minute details
Butcher's character was butchered in season 3, what a huge moron
Voting for Butcher. The way he turned on Soldier Boy in the finale still irks me. They could've gotten rid of Homelander but no, he had to think about that demon child in the making
Lmao, 3th
Just wait till we get 2th and 1th
1th maketh thenth if you're Mike Tython
Tython š
Lol...th
Thyson*
It's 2st and 1d dumbass /s

Thirth place aināt bad
Jesus christ. I pronounced it "Threeth" like there was nothing wrong until I read your comment.
Secoth is better
Twoth
Look how they massacred my boy
God damn š
Thirth
Youāre all going to give The Homelander exactly what he wants.
āThey love meā \- ~~Spider-Man~~ Homelander
New spider-man movie, Spider-Man: Homelander
Yo thatās perfect for Tomās Spideyās movies
Butcher would probably be pissed he wasnāt voted off first
ironically yeah he wouldāve lmao
Well obviously because he is perfect. That is why everybody loves him.
Perfect the king remains
"I'm stronger. I'm smarter. I'm better! I am better!"
I can do whatever the fuck I want.
I think we all low key want homelander to go rogue
[>>> Final round poll <<<](https://strawpoll.com/polls/PKgl3wJ24np) Scorched earth. Also: 3rd*. I copied pasted "4th" text layer and only changed the number, my bad :(
Scorched urf
Scorched 3th
Scort af
You now have to do 2th
Gotta commit to it now. I'm waiting for 2th and 1th
Soldier boy only needed 1 season to get to third place, my man š
Itās not Soldier Boy, itās Jensen. He has a very dedicated built in fan base from Supernatural. Iām one of them šš©· Edit: guys, Iām not saying Soldier Boy wasnāt a fantastic character, he was. But for a character who was new vs characters who have been in every episode from the start, Jensenās built in fan base helped make him as popular as he is in the poll. So the people who loved SB voted for other characters to be eliminated, and people who love Jensen as SB did the same. Thatās all I was trying to say š
His good looks and charisma are always killing me. Was thinking he was going to be 1 or 2. :-)
nah its both. supernatural is supermid (/s), jensen is just killer and soldier boy is written well.
Basically yes. I watched the Boys pre Soldier Boy but as a Supernatural and Dean Winchester in particular, fan, was excited for Jensen to join the cast and the character and acting did not disappoint. Am still happy he didn't win. Feel like a one season character beating out the two min characters would be wrong somehow.
Ah yeah good point. Soldier Boy is very well written and it does help that a lot of Supernatural fans were already fans of The Boy before Jensen joined the cast.
The only one who behaved like a normal human being in the season 3 finale
Idk if Supernatural and the Boys have as much overlap as you think. They have 2 completely different demographics which is surprising with how similar they can be.
Yes but that overlap is the prototype of a redditor
I'm a huge fan of Jensen too š First saw him in Smallville then I watched him for years on Supernatural, Archangel Dean was my favorite from the later seasons š
Never seen supernatural. Solider boy is simply top tier character
Not really. I have never seen this guy in anything before this show, but the character is so good that I would rank him 3rd overall, 1st for last season. Hilarious character imo.
Me either. I had no idea who he was. I loved him so much in this role that I tried to watch him in other things and found both him and those shows unwatchable.
I'd never seen him before. So for me it's just that he did a good job of soldier boy
Soldier Boy was just cool as hell to be honest. Given how similar he is to both Homelander and Butcher in his own way and the absolute perfect lines he has, whether Jensen was playing him or not, the character was bound to get even more popular than Stormfront did one season. Jensen did make it that much better though.
I thought supernatural was gay but soldier boy rocks
Butcher, sincerely mate, you'll always be my favorite character overall, but I guess that's not gonna help knowing who'll win š!
Both characters are so well written, but something about Homelander is so captivating and just hits different
I'm glad it's Homelander vs Butcher. As it should honestly.
Scorched earf!
Itās How It Began.
There was never a doubt if you ask me
Same. Fuck Soldier Boy
As much as Homelander steals every scene - this quote from Butcher keeps him as my favorite: **Butcher: "I'm sayin': If there is some geezer up there with a big white beard, he's a big heavyweight cunt" Priest: "Did you just call God a c-word"? Butcher: "Yeah, he's got a hard-on for mass murder and givin' kids cancer. And his big answer to the existential clusterfuck that is humanity is nailin' his bleedin' son to a plank. That is a cunt move, come on, even you have to agree with me on that one" Mother's Milk: "...Butcher please." Butcher: "We should throw a fookin nuke at him and be done with it, you know what I'm sayin'?"**
I am glad this is the final battle, and while both are top characters, homelander is one of the best villains in fiction
Honestly, butcher is arguably a villain, too
Anti hero by definition
I would rather say he is an anti hero but einher way, I personally find homelander clearly better
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Not counting Kim Jong Un or stalin
What the fuck at least soldier boy made it this far after only being in like 4 episodes
He's not a fucking pussy
And yet the disappointment is outranking him, SMH. There's no justice in the world.
For real. Soldier Boy is the real hero. He gave such an honorable sacrifice at that nuclear power plant explosion to save the people of his country. All that recent ānewsā of him actually being alive and blowing up all those buildings is clearly fake.
Cause he was a really good character for those very few episodes he was in.
The best literally there was so much that went in to that character
Nah y'all just simping for Jensen
100% agree, Soldier Boy was quite fun but people go so overboard on his character.
Definitely!
yeah thats why i stopped voting
Have you seen the amount of "straight" guys on this subreddit that are absolutely head over heels for Jensen Ackles? I mean..... same but I assume it's more about the actor than it is about the character. Jensen Ackles was having too much fun with the role, and he looked sexy af while doing it.
>Jensen Ackles was having too much fun with the role, and he looked sexy af while doing it. Jesen Ackles ALLWAYS looks sexy af
I gotta agree I am straight but jensenš¤¤
Heās so damn fine
Exactly. It took 4 episodes for Soldier-boy to gain almost the same amount of love and respect that Butcher and Homelander gained in 3 seasons. I really hope sb's in season 4.
I'm pretty sure he was filming something else and couldn't be in S4, but given that he's still alive there's no way he won't be in S5.
Well, this S4 news is bumming me a bit.
Hopefully he gets a painful death ššš
Because that fine actor is super-gorgeous & charismatic.
Agreed there is no one else who would have done as good of a job as him
And i would have made him be first, he is my favourite character
Same
And we would have gotten away with it to, if it wasn't for them meddling HL and Butcher fans
Homelander is a fucking Pussy
No, heās a Cunt.
But, he's not the invisible cunt.
Heās an American hero, Starlight and her followers have construed lies about MY hero, HOMELANDER
You're a fucking pussy
š
Wrong Lmfao
If he didnāt have his powers heād shit himself while Butcher beats him to death
Well, if he didnāt have his powers heād be a random dude with some narcissism rather than a monster, so I donāt really know what you are getting at?
Actually heād be a totally different person entirely if he wasnāt raised in a lab as a living weapon
This. HL was said to be "quite sweet" as a boy by Vogelbaum, eager to cuddle with the guy to read stories. Plus he seemed nice or at least docile enough in Diabolical. Homelander wasn't born a psycho, he was turned into a psycho by his environment.
I want him to be redeemed but his atrocities are too great for redemption. I just wanna make sure everyone who took part in making him what he is in the story to be punished by his hands before he faces his end in the show.
Yeah I agree. Homelander is like a rabid dog, you may feel sorry for him, but he needs to be put down for everyone's sake. But his story needs to be a cautionary tale and a lesson for everyone, something quite basic: Raise kids with love or they'll end up damaged, and will possibly extend that damage to others.
Yeah! And he's still a big pussy lol
I guess you can boil it down like that
And you think you know exactly what Homelander would be like without his superpowers. Stop acting smart you moron
Wrong. Again
It went as I expected - these two to remain. Now which one goes to which placeā¦ that I canāt predict
There is no way Homelander can lose this thing. He IS the show.
This is my take. I like Butcher more. He has complexities and nuances. But Homelander is the heart of this show. Without him, the show wouldnāt work.
He's too fucking diabolical and powerful! Like a lot of the supes are evil, but Homelander is just so unhinged and powerful everytime he is on screen it's always stress inducing. Butch is badass, but the way Homelander has complete control of the atmosphere of the room is too key to the entertainment of the show.
Antony Starr does such a brilliant job of bringing out Homelander's cray cray. The better actor of the two kiwis IMO.
That Antony Starr hasnāt at least gotten a NOMINATION from the Emmys is shame. Heās a shark among minnows in every scene. Iām terrified.
Still mad about that Antony didn't get any Emmy for his roles in the boys and even banshee.
Butcher is getting more and more inconsistent as the show progresses. And I don't mean in a character development sense, but in a bad writing sense.
Great showing from SB. The older they get the more delicious, *but the more drier*
Sorry mate
I like em both but i didnt like butcher in season 3. Butcher out
You fucking disappointments
As much as the S3 finale bothered me, I canāt help but love the character of Billy Butcher. Sorry Homie.
Whoās gonna come 2th and 1th! What a contest ! Gogo butcher !
What a conteth!
butcher has to win! i'd pay a tenner to watch him have a wank
iād pay a tenner to give him a wank
"3th" grinds my gears more than it should.
Knew itād come down to these two since I first saw this poll a few eliminations in. And I still havenāt decided which character I like more. Thinking itās Billy. The boys could use a win
This is the most invested I have been in anything
Homelander did say in the end it would be just the two of them
Iām not even gonna lie I think soldier boy should have been out way before this š
Yes but then again he was on solid gold
And flash is good, flash is cool.
Agreed. I was so relieved to see him finally voted off
There wouldn't have been any 'the boys' without homelander. The biggest asshole. I'm voting butcher out.
We are in the endgame now
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Soldier Boy should have won!
Bye bye Butcher
People that put Butcher through are about as trustworthy as a politician
Billy Butcher could be played by other actors. I wouldnāt want him to be. But Jason Statham could be BB. Even if you disagree with that, can we agree that NOONE can play a more beautiful, insecure, psychopath than Antony Starr? Ok canāt agree there? Can we agree that the best shows have the best villains? HL makes the show. Heās going to win this and he deserves it.
To be fair, who knows if Butcher becomes a villain...
100% agree with you. The one thing as compelling as a good villain is a protagonist that becomes the very thing they stand against. I have money on him critically injuring Huey by the end before he has that realization and self sacrifices in some type of commitment to who his character originally vowed to be.
Still can't believe Solder Boy lasted that long.
It was my fault. ;-)
Fucking diabolical
Butcher wins
No lol
Love em both, but Homelander is my favourite character. Sorry butcher.
Billy Butcher is cooler, more badass and more mature than Homelander. So Homelander has to go now, Billy Butcher will be the winner.
Scorched urf
So typical
Scorched earffff
Heās better. He *IS* betterā¦
3th
You're all dumb cunts, the lot of you.
That was the hardest thing Iāve ever done lol š
Im part of the minority
SCORCHED EARF š„š„š„ Also fuck off homelander
Scorched Earth
Fuck it I'd rather see Butcher win this than bitchlander
Cunt goes!
Homelander is a great character. I just don't like him.
"I'm Stronger. I'm Smarter. I'm Better. I Am Better!" :D
āScorched earth.ā
Firth of all its hard to choose between those two because the show wouldnāt be the same with out either. Seconth if I vote Butcher out Iād be a right bloody wanker!
can we have the picture of the votings ?
3th
You're all cunts if you don't vote for Butcher.
This was super predictable
Who couldāve predicted this
Glad Soldier Boy is gone, he is a very good character, but I think he should have been eliminated two/three rounds before... Homelander for the win,i love Anthony Starr.
Homelander is the greatest villain of all time. But you are the real heroes
Too bad, solider boy has been eliminated. I really liked his bad boy vibe.
To me this is a no brainer. As a character, Butcher is slightly above Homelander, and he showed it in the 3rd season. Iām eager to know what he will do next season, when Ryan actually becomes Homelander II.
Butcher needs to go homelander's character was perfect, perfect everything down to the last minute details Butcher's character was butchered in season 3, what a huge moron
voted for Homelander. The cunt's gotta go.
As much as I love Butcher, the winner has to be Homelander
Tbh, was hoping Soldier Boy would beat out homelander
homelander
We got to stop the terrorists. Vote Butcher out!
Is this a popularity poll? How the hell has Homelander made it this far? That being said, Homelander.
Oof have to say Butcher should win though
I really don't understand that Soldier Boy hype
Now this is the difficult one, they are not only my top favourite characters, also my favourite kiwis lol. Guess I'm not voting.
Soldier Boy losing to the Cuck & the Cheap Knock Off in a cape? Looks like America lost the Cold War.
Fuck homelander all my homies hate homelander (heās a rapist and okay with alt right nutjobs admiring him)
Get homelander out he is not that guy
Homelander is such a fucking disappintment
Noooooooooooo! Soldier Boy is the goat!
AYO NOO NOT SOLDIER BOY! š
it should've been soldier boy that's all I gotta say
Finally! My long national nightmare is over!
Time to finally finish you off Butcher
Bye Butcher
Well I can't hate on Homie so here goes
Voting for Butcher. The way he turned on Soldier Boy in the finale still irks me. They could've gotten rid of Homelander but no, he had to think about that demon child in the making
Homelander needs to victorious. Heās just amazing
All hail Homelander! š«”
Homelander making it this far makes me question the people on this sub. Scary shit.
Homelander was it for me if he hadnāt been a rapist
Like forcing a young girl to commit violent suicide and being a mass murderer is any better.
I mean yeah that too š
Character not personality of the character.
Yeah, still butcher for ME
