The scene where Homelander confronts Starlight is nothing short of heart-stopping because it drives home his need for sovereignty and dominance. In this case, Anthony Starr's quasi-menacing manner allows Homelander to use Starlight's fragility to his own advantage. With a tease of "Liar, liar," Starr subtly exposes the depths of Homelander's insecurities, the fear that he may lose control of The Seven. The power struggle dramatically shifts in this moment, supported by the weight of manipulating Starlight into submission—Homelander's dark, obsessive need to dominate not just his enemies, but his alleged allies as well.
