#if walker's a homelander ripoff and soldier boy's a walker ripoff then is soldier boy a homelander ripoff despite existing first in canon

I have seen so much shit online about how “John Walker is a Homelander ripoff” or “fake Cap gives me Homelander vibes” like ????? Nah dude, U.S. Agent’s been around since the fucking 80s, Homelander’s comic version showed up in the early 00s and even then the show’s version is very different from him. Being a villainous deconstruction of a popular superhero who embodies a heroic archetype is not new or unique.

#also walker has not been shown to be anything like homelander yet #and if anything homelander's a ripoff of miracleman lmao #who's already a villain-ish superman #well honestly kind of a villain-ish hyperion #whose original version was also an evil superman #you get what i mean lol #fandom #the boys #marvel #mcu #the falcon and the winter soldier #tfatws #homelander #john walker #u.s. agent #oimoi rants about pointless fandom bullshit #same vibes as that one post that's like ''people saying x story rips off y story and then start describing the hero's journey'' smh

Can't wait for The Boys s3 to be released so that I can watch MCU stans endlessly compare Soldier Boy to U.S. Agent and argue that he's just a John Walker ripoff and it'll all come full circle.

#if walker's a homelander ripoff and soldier boy's a walker ripoff then is soldier boy a homelander ripoff despite existing first in canon? #again for the record walker is not a homelander expy #u.s. agent and homelander are two ubrelated characters #tbf soldier boy and walker are infinitely more comparable but the boys was already filming before tfatws was released so 🤷‍♀️ #basically some people don't seem to get that there have been numerous heroic archetype deconstructions in comics over the decades #and that they can share similar traits while also existing independently of each other and embodying different themes unique to them #homelander is very different from miracleman who is very different fron the plutonian who is very different from omni-man #and all of them are deconstructions of superman #the boys #marvel #mcu #tfatws #the falcon and the winter soldier #soldier boy #john walker #u.s. agent #oimoi rants about pointless fandom bullshit #fandom #also i'm not. like. trying to start shit #i just can already tell that this is gonna happen is all #fandom never learns
