Because he needs to prove that he's better then them,if they're not intimidated by his strength or scared of what he can do there is really nothing he can do,sure he can just kill them but that wouldn't satisfy his ego,he needs to be acknowledged by them
Because it must seem strange to him that no one is intimidated by a mutant who can crush him with his hands. But vought wasn't afraid of him at all. If we talk about the show, it's something else.
People have been afraid of him since he was a baby. People standing up to him is pretty rare and I think he either admires or appreciates it, but will never actually admit it. But yeah, as Stillwell said, he is a spoilt brat, who grew up pretty much feeling alone and unloved and feared.
I wish the writers couldve given Stan Edgar that line in the show Don't get me wrong, they definitely had him give Homelander a verbal smackdown so they atill did right by this scene But DANG that line hits different
Stan Edgar is this character on the series. Both versions of Homelander only respect people who are not afraid of him. In both he wants the other person to beg for their life and just cannot stand the idea of them not being afraid of him.
I love how petty homelander is, he enters the building through a window and leaves through another. He has no control over him and tried doing at least some damage to him
Thing is he didnt. He is really just not afraid of Homelander. He is the comic version of Stan Edgar. Homelander gets off on the fear people have of him and Stillwell was not afraid of him nor afraid of death.
The thing is that Stillwell just doesn't care one way or the other, and knowing that someone had no fear of him whatsoever irks homelander far more than anything else; he could kill him at any point sure, but that's not what he cares about. He wants to be acknowledged and respected
@@cavareenvius7886I don't think that's the intention. Just look at the last sequence in which stillwel appears. Nothing about his appearance is worthy of respect, but he still manages it.
Yes, because of course cold blooded killers fear apathy. Is it just me or is this mediocre writing? The man who kills without blinking, doesn't kill because his opposition isn't blinking. Tik Tok fried a lot of brains. I write for a living and this little piece of, whatever it is, is senseless. There's literally no point to this whole interaction. I must be missing something?
@@Jacques.Smith_ if you read the part of the comics the whole thing is nothing but bad writing and full of stuff that doesn’t even matter that’s why the show is better
It actually makes sense if you view homelander as a Donald Trump type and Stillwell as a Fred Trump type. Often when you look out through history, the scarier things, then the tyrants are the parents of those tyrants which basically molded them into the awful people they were today. Trump, no matter how awful he is is and was when he was alive. Completely obsessed with not only being his father in a modern age but being more successful than his father. But when his father was alive, nothing ever measured up to his own father. Dude was a celebrity on TV and had all of these contracts and deals and yet Fred wasn't completely unimpressed despite Fred doing way less than his son. Well, my theory would be that if Fred Trump was alive today, Trump was totally behind the scenes. Try to show his dad of him being the president and his father would be like. So what look at all these other areas you screwed up you were literally born as a tax write off. You mean nothing to me and Donald would just look sad. I'm just using those to have an example. There's a lot of examples like that through history from JFK and his father as well as many others.
You're right. and it sucks to have to make everything about race but it hurts when every damn comic book or great tv series based in fiction or not is dominated by white characters as if it would be unbelievable no other way. Imagine if it were the opposite if you can.
You forgot the coldest part were James turns around and says something like “Id already be watching if there was anything worth it” not even fazed. Like homelanders a bug and anything he does is inconsequential if not utterly meaningless to James.
The reason Homelander is aging is because the Director or Chief of Research said that they took the “no aging” effect out of the Compound V they were giving him because she believed that no one with that much power should live forever. A paraphrase of her words. It was Season 4 Episode 4 I believe.
I really hope the show goes full throttle and gives Giancarlo Esposito Stillwell's dialogue here word-for-word. It is an absolutely cold, disgusted takedown of someone who thinks himself a god among men. The sheer level of "You don't impress me, you failure." this scene gives off in the comics is *legendary* Hell, Stillwell offers to throw himself out the window purely because hearing Homelander's ranting was giving him a headache. He was THAT done.
its not reverse psychology if its the truth, Stillwell isnt afraid of Homelander and Homelander knows it. Stillwell doesnt have to play mind games with him, cause he's a child looking for daddy's approval.
something i miss from the comics in the show is this, vought has no fear at all of homelander and any of the supers, they HAVE the means to get rid of them and they do this all the time and even sells those means to the Govt. They also addapt at every situation since they were first a fraudulent company before the supers and will continue to exist even after they vanish. the closest thing we got on the show was stan edgar's scenes, and thats all
He had absolutely no fear of Homelander and whats more he had complete disdain for him. Homelander was literally besides himself with rage and frustration but still Stillwell did not give a fuck.
Honestly I'm a big fan of the books. Have been for the last 13 years. I know most don't like them, I personally don't like the show but im not gonna shit on it. One moment in the comics that always makes me laugh is Queen Maeve throwing her obsessed assistant at homelander and he takes great pride in being a weapon for her.
Homelander basically wanted Stillwell to watch him get dismembered by Black Noir.
"wtf man i'm gonna get low-diffed"
-Homelander, probably.
"I would do it if there was really something worthwhile"
The last words Homelander heard from Stillwel

@@znerd3664 This specific interaction can still happen in the final season.
Only thing this shows is, that (who would have thought) the guy is a way bigger psychopath than Homelander could ever be.
The problem with Stilwell was he is hearing his heartbeat and he was very calm and really unafraid of homelander every time they meet.
I think the silhouette that resembles Black Noir but is Homelander foreshadows the clone twist.

Stilwell is the Lex Luthor to Homelanders Superman

So basically Stan Edgar is the Amazon series tv version of James Stillwell.
Ofcourse they make Stan Edgar black…
Hopefully this will also happen in the show, one last chat between Homelander and Edgar. Leaving Edgar alive just like in the comics.
I hope the show adapts this scene in some format with Stan and Homelander
He’s a nonchalant dread head in disguise
That's why he's known as STILL well 😅
This is like when you see a bear and make yourself look big and the bear goes away 😂
