>"Yeah I'm gonna bounce, I can't save all you dorks and helping even a few of you would still fuck me when you go to the press."
Why didn't he just say that? Or just fly off without saying anything? It's not like they could stop him or tell anyone anyway.

YOU GUYS, you are the real heroes
He didn't feel like dealing with screaming people. You know he actually did feel bad but couldn't do anything about it. Why do you think he got pissed off at Maeve? It clearly fucking bothered him and he wanted to get the fuck out before he had to confront his failure.
Why didn't he just gently ease it in? He didn't have to immediately push back and tear through the plane like he said would happen, just get underneath and gradually apply enough force to slow it down.
Because, as he explains, it would be an exercise in futility. He's not THAT good and precise with his powers, or at least he doesn't believe he's that good. Maeve is still a hero at heart (after all, she broke her own body to save a bus full of people).
He's also disheartened at the time because he just fucked up bad. I think Homelander is not a sociopath but an empath and he views himself as a failure. The scientist at the end of the series confirmed it for him, but he's had that complex for a while.
He gave up on the passengers and decided to leave because if he tried and failed I'm not sure he could deal with that. He's a fragile character, though he presents himself as invincible..
Because he is automatically doing what he knows. He has never been in a situation that has gone bad for him and he doesn't know how to handle it
>or at least he doesn't believe he's that good
Trying and risking failure seems like a better option than not trying and definitely failing, especially if he felt bad about it like you claim.
Also empathic is about the last thing he is.
>He didn't feel like dealing with screaming people.
He didn't have to deal with screaming people. And exit was right next to him. He could have taken Maeve and left. Easily.
Whats this ? capeshit?
One of the many changes from the comic that don't make sense.
This entire situation was ripped from the backstory of the comic, in which 9/11 went down differently due to the heroes trying to stop one of the planes and fucking it all up in spectacular fashion instead.
>Lamplighter tries to stop plane by flying against the front of it and almost gets killed
>Black Noir just gets fucking dropped into the ocean by accident
>a kid gets sucked out of the plane when Homelander and Maeve just open the fucking door
>Homelander yells at everyone to shut the fuck up and his sonic scream kills a whole group of passengers
>Homelander then tries to push plane up but flies too hard, tearing the plane in two
>Marathon Man was riding on Homelander's back, and gets decapitated when Homelander flies through like an idiot
>Maeve has to literally cut through people to get past them on her way out of the plane
>the Brooklyn Bridge is destroyed by the falling plane instead of the Twin Towers
Also, having The Deep (who does literally nothing for the entire comic, btw) getting sucked off by Starlight is WAY less interesting than the comic.
>Starlight is shown the headquarters by Homelander, who tells her that she's ALMOST on the team
>then he tells Starlight to blow him
>Black Noir and A-Train show up and she tries to get their help
>they whip their dicks out
>Starlight is told to suck all three of them or she's off the team
>she swallows all three of them
Because he'd prove himself as a failure. These kinds of people are risk-adverse. He isn't actually heroic.
He walked back out making excuses because he was embarrassed.
What gave it away? The cape?
The comic is flat and boring.
>>Maeve has to literally cut through people to get past them on her way out of the plane
clearly a plot hole as her sword is revealed to be a stupid prop when she tried to kill Homelander with it
To show him as a completely psychotic because the characters in this show can't get any more one dimensional and cartoony.
There's no point in making excuses to dead people. He could have grabbed Maeve and left. An exit was right next to him.
>Everyone ITT acting like Homelander is simply a fuckup when he intended to bring the plane down from the start
His endgame was to bring the plane down and use sympathy to advance his place in the military. He didn't have to laser through the controls, when he lasered mommy it didn't even pierce the back of her skull. It was all according to keikeku
Right. Because he felt bad.
A metal prop, yeah, but she's still got super strength. Of course it would cut through normies. Hell, it left a mark on Homelander.
>His endgame was to bring the plane down and use sympathy to advance his place in the military.
No, he came up with that later. It's like you people don't even watch the show.
Possibly, or lasering the terrorist at maximum power was a reflexive reaction to the pilot being shot in the head
If he tried and failed, Maeve might’ve died.
What makes you think that?
Because it was a clear improvisation.
Now you're just asspulling excuses.
You literally see the moment where the idea comes to him and his expression changes you autistic retard.
That's not how physics works. Super strength ain't fucking magic. Go back to high school.
test
No, she's not as strong and she can't fly. She broke bones just stopping a bus.
>Super strength ain't fucking magic.
Then explain how Homelander propels himself through the air. I'll wait.
Because super strength concentrated on a moving vehicle works in comics not reality. In reality, force exerted at one point in a gets concentrated. The plane would fall apart mid-air.
Homelander clearly wasn't thinking of her when he didn't want to try stopping the plane. You literally made that up.
Farting.
That's why I said he should ease it in. Maintaining speed and gradually applying ever increasing force isn't going to put a hole through a plane.
Wrong. We never see methane trails.
Jumping REAL HARD
It would, though. gradual increases in force would flip the plane, since it is also traveling horizontally at speed.
His flying ability's magic, his super strength isn't.
Can someone explain how super strengthing the bottom of the plane would cause it to fold in on itself? It's less than a hundred tons of force, sure that's a lot but I doubt it would tear the plane to shreds if slowly eased into.
That's his body. The plane isn't part of his body.
Because a plane isn't a solid whole. He couldn't lift a car. He could lift part of a car, and then the front of back half would snap off.
He was absolutely thinkin of her, not because he's nice, but because another one of the seven croaking is bad publicity.
Planes are paper bags. If you push on them gently, they still crumple.
I haven't designed planes or anything but buildings I've worked on, they usually have support structures and braces. Using your car example, it's why you can jack your whole car up on just part of the frame. Sure if you grab the wrong part it will dent your car but lifting the right spot does the trick.
Also a landed plane is held up by only three points- the wheels. Would applying triple the force to one spot really be enough to fuck the thing?
50 IQ nigger confirmed
I need someone to confirm to me whether this would actually work. Matching velocity and trying to gradually slow down the plane to a landing where people on board at least stand a chance of surviving
>buildings
Planes trade structural integrity for less weight. They're hollow pieces of shit that shatter when a bird looks at them funny.

>wheels
The wheels aren't superglued to the frame, they're attached to the inside. If you put pressure on the actual frame itself, the thing breaks.
Thanks m8, I'm satisfied with this explanation
He was a coward
It would work. Trust me, I'm an aeronautical engineer.
Doesn't add up. Feeling bad means getting the fuck out of dodge, not sticking around to deal with an increasingly tough crowd.
Lifting a plane "in fucking air."
