WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THIS?

So like Billy blew himself up and just spawned in Beccas garden??

Doesn't this literally mean Homelander probably carried him there😭

And then just dropped him..

Homelander raped Becca in the show.

That is not a question, it is not up for debate. It is a fact of the show and I wish people would stop being disgusting about it.

I know some take issue with how it's portrayed but I'm actually glad it was portrayed in such a way that Becca is angry and terrified, but she doesn't look like she was hurt physically by him. That detail is important because sexual assault is often viewed as this inherently violent and forceful thing that requires someone end up bruised and battered because of it, but that's simply not true. Nor is that stereotype fair or helpful to victims that experience rape that isn't violent.

What we do see from Becca are psychological scars which are always there. The way she reacts and didn't talk to her husband. She shut down. She didn't fight back because what chance did she have? And in corporate settings especially, rape is often more insidious and subtle than forceful. When she's desperate and asking to be moved by Dr. Parker, and he tells her, the victim, that their best guess is that 'Homelander will get bored and move on', those words visibly destroy her because she has already experienced the exact opposite of this.

Homelander had her captive and unable to fight back for 3 hours. And he didn't get bored or move on.

There are situations where it happens in ways that make victim question and gaslight themselves about whether or not it really happened, when it did. And I actually like that The Boys portrayed this in this way because it shows us that the scars or pain aren't always visible. Most victims of any abuse take active steps to hide their pain. Especially when the world will look for excuses to belittle that pain and the victims themselves.

Especially when the rapist is extremely powerful.

We don't need to see a graphic rape to know it happened. And rape isn't always violent, nor should it be portrayed that way. For fuck's sake, Starlight was also assaulted and we know definitively that it was insidious and done through blackmail instead of violence. Since Ryan apparently isn't enough proof.

This stigma needs to stop. It happens more than one way so stop debating it.

What do you think Homelander’s attraction to Becca was? It’s not like at the Christmas party she was the only woman there, and by that point he had no idea who Butcher was. The actress that plays her is attractive, but the later scenes (season two and even just their initial introduction) between them suggest there’s something more to his attraction.

It’s obvious in the season two scenes that Homelander and Becca have, he has some lingering attraction. I think that’s primarily led by the fact that they have a son together and Homelander desperately wants a family, and also that Homelander is looking for a new woman to attach himself onto since Madelyn died. Perhaps he just wants what he can’t have especially knowing that she’s still in love with Butcher and he wants someone to love him that unconditionally. The main reason I thought of this is because in my opinion, Homelander isn’t the type of character to do something without a reason. Usually he has one even if it’s not a good reason.

ah yes, potentially one of the most contentious/controversial plot points in the fandom. canon gives us VERY little to go on here, so excuse me while I just ramble my take on the whole situation. i extrapolate a good amount. everyone you ask is going to have a different answer, and each one is as valid as any other. this is simply mine!

Homelander's greatest sin isn't wrath or pride. It's envy. He is a bottomless well of yearning for what he doesn't have, and he is viciously covetous. We see this play out most plainly in his one sided beef with a literal baby.

When he meets Becca, she's beautiful, quick witted, strong willed and independent. A career woman. Not only that, she's helping manage his career by handing his social media, which is part of his public perception. Very important to him! He already has a ton of wires crossed when it comes to the women in his life acting as both coworkers/Vought employees and emotional surrogates, i.e. Maeve, Madelyn and Vogelbaum. Plus who knows how many nanny mommies.

At this point, we don't know how long he's been with Maeve, but we have at least another 6 years before the pair breaks up. He's enjoying Maeve, but he wants more. He always wants more. Maybe he wants a wife, and she's refusing him that.

But Becca is a wife. He sees that ring on her finger and it boils his blood that he doesn't have that classic, romantic symbol of commitment. Of love. Worse yet when he meets her husband! The figurative boogeyman. The baby stealing his mommy and her milk. We're not there in the story yet, but we do see a trend here. It likely didn't start here: imagine what it was like for him to find out Vogelbaum had kids. Kids he loved. I bet that gutted Homelander. It should have been him.

Homelander, in his mind, can never win. Can never have enough. Anyone else having means they are directly taking away what should be his. It could be that it was never really about Becca specifically so much as the archetype she represented.

That carries us into season 2 where Becca takes on an additional archetype that Homelander is now lacking: mother. I think you're right on the money that a good amount of his attraction comes from the fact she's the mother of his son.

He falls pretty deep down the fantasy family rabbit hole with Becca, though. He not only inserts himself into their lives and routine, he takes a renewed interest in Becca. He snoops through her things, smells her clothes, and engages with her well beyond just interacting with Ryan. Then comes the scene where he finds her hidden stash of Billy merch, and the fantasy is shattered. She's still in love with another man. She's a wife, but she's not his wife. She's the mother to his son, but she's not someone who will fulfill those emotional needs for him. I've made this comparison before, but it's very reminiscent to the breakdown he has when he sees his baby blanket in his fake childhood home. He moves on VERY easily to Stormfront when she not only presents herself as a mother to her own child, but a potential mother for his child.

I'm backtracking a little here, but when Maeve called Homelander over from Billy and Becca at the party, I always got the vibe she was doing so quite purposefully. I wonder how much of their early relationship was Maeve feeling like she was performing damage control. Managing him, curbing his destructive behaviors. Did she see that covetous edge in his eye when he would look at Becca, at her ring? Did she try to tell him to leave her alone, play it like a joke?

We have the deleted scene where Maeve says the reason they broke up was because he couldn't keep it in his tights, but we don't really have any other explicit instances or even mentions of Homelander liberally sleeping around. Did she know about Becca, or at the very least did she make an educated guess when the woman disappeared? Maybe she felt like he did it to spite her. Did she know about Madelyn?

Ultimately we know Maeve becomes complicit in his crimes. She feels her hands are dirty with the same blood. She becomes jaded, she's no longer the hero. She's just an accessory. I definitely don't think it started that way, though.

anyways, I hope this somewhat answered your question! I have a tendency to jump around a lot and word vomit, but this generally covers my take on why that all went down the way it did.

Honestly, I would love to write a fic someday that digs more into my thoughts here. Becca deserves so much more than what she got from the narrative.

Random epiphanies for The Boys while I'm trying desperately to write and waiting (not so patiently) for season 4.

1. The public is now fully aware that supes are made, not born. Homelander has revealed Ryan to the public as well. Surely, people are going to ask Homelander if he had Ryan injected as a baby with V like most other supes, right? Might this potentially be something used in the trial against Homie that they've hinted at in the trailer for season 4?

2. In that similar vein, people will ask about Ryan's mother. They're going to want to know who she is. Is Vought going to spin it like they always do and fabricate a mother for him? Or are they going to take it further, actually identify Becca and paint her as some cheating floozy? Or take it even a step further than that and paint Butcher as some monstrous husband that Becca needed Homie to save her from in order to justify the "affair" that never happened? Either way, I'm already bracing to lose my shit.

Opinion on Thragg's casting

I totally think Thragg should be voiced by T.C. Carson or Chris Judge!

Because think abt it, Anissa is voiced by the actress who plays Becca Butcher (Shantel VanSanten)

If you know the characters you know the fucking Irony...

So having Thragg be voiced by a Kratos VA would also be a nice lil' Easter Egg.

If T.C. Carson, it could be a reference to how Kratos was so bloodlusted and war-like in the Greek saga. Thragg and Young Kratos' personalities are similar inn more ways than not.

If Chris Judge, it could be an opposite to how good of a parent Kratos became, and how he learned to leave his violent ways and Be Better for the sake of his loved ones, whereas Thragg was the Shittiest Father™ in the storyline, and that's when the comics has plenty of shitty fathers already. It could also be referencing the path Kratos was afraid to choose again, and the past he left behind.

Overall I think it would be a pretty damn cool easter egg and a nice little nod, even though Shantel was probably chosen because she worked for the studio before and Santa Monica studios has no relations to this show at all, so it may be harder for this to happen but one can hope.

Billy: I can't let Hughie die.

Billy: But I can't tell him the truth because then he'll think I care.

Billy: Wait! I have a perfect solution! Knock him out and leave Hughie behind.

Also F in the chat for Becca while heavily traumatised she had to make the impossible choice of giving up her entire life to raise the child of a damn sociopath with the CHANCE he would turn out normal and she spent eight years of absolute isolation being trying to be the absolute best and most loving mother to Ryan she could be and then that flying asshole shows up out of nowhere decides to torment her again, traumatises her son and then get her killed but still pleads with her husband "he's a good kid" even when he accidentally kills her. and now that kid has gone and sided with his homicidal father and is fully into murder because stepdad said something mean to him once. She must be in heaven right now fucking fuming.

EDIT: I probably should have rephrased "said something mean" that because what butcher said was incredibly cruel and he was a dick for saying it like I wish he just explained things to Ryan instead of you know, traumatising him again basically. I'm sort of less confused by Ryan hating Butcher after one argument but rather him forgiving Homelander after one pep talk after Ryan stated he had nightmares for MONTHS about his glorified sperm donor.
