Yeah, it was really important to us for Homelander to at least experience a little bit of time powerless.
People have asked me, ‘Well, why don’t you send him out in the world powerless, wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment?’
I’m like, it would, until he gets his hands on some more Compound V, and then you’re back to where you started
So, he cannot walk out of that room alive, but we can spend time with him powerless to really reveal what everyone’s been saying all season, which is, ‘Take away those powers and you are nothing.’
And he’s so cowardly and blubbering and pathetic, as are most strong men when you remove their power and they’re and they’re faced with their imminent death, they rarely handle it bravely.
For context, the show apparently ends with Homelander (main villain superhero) de-powered and offering to give oral sex to his victor in exchange for his life. I haven’t read the comics or watched any o the show (thank God) but it seems just dumb and crude to me. Writer sure likes his “sexual abuse humour.”
Yep, if strictly 2D, he would not exist in one of the axis.
Supposing he was laying perfectly on his side, would he be unaffected by Earth’s gravity and float? But then a minor breeze and he slams to the ground…
He couldn’t float, because that’s space. He could slide up and over everything. He’d see all the buildings in city as a map of unfolded cardboard boxes. Neato. Makes a good superhero. Two Dimensional Dan.

Honestly, I was kind of hoping that taking the V1 shot was going to end up fucking up his powers, along with some hilariously useless side effects.
Like he thought he was going to become a God…but instead he wound up with the ability to become 2 dimensional, as long as he held his breath.
Run toward someone at full speed, then hold your breath right before hitting. Slice.
Also great for avoiding bullets. Very difficult to hit a 2-dimensional target from the side. (Though, not impossible.)
There is no side in the 2nd dimension. He’d be a shadow or something.

Fun thought experiment

Duo Dimension Dan
It is crude that’s kinda the point, the comic is much much more fucked up and graphic
I didn’t watch The Boys, but if you like this motive, you might like Mob Psycho 100
Was funny when captain america said the same to iron man.
