One of the most emotionally devastating moments of the series comes in season 3, with Antony Starr bringing Homelander's detachment to life hauntingly. In the killing of Black Noir, Starr does the unthinkable in his role: there's no remorse, no sadness; just cold calculation. That shows the extent to which Homelander has lost all traces of humanity by being ruthless, where he disposes of the closest allies if they no longer fit his plan. Starr's performance elevates the scene, showing the emotional toll that such a betrayal has on Homelander, but also the complete lack of humanity he possesses.
