This moment of vulnerability, where Homelander talks to himself in the mirror, is probably the most introspective and haunting scene of the series. Antony Starr successfully brings out Homelander's inner conflict and fractured mind to viewers, allowing a rare glimpse into the emotional turmoil that drives him. In this moment, he is shown not being able to cope with growing isolation and paranoia as his power is challenged. Here, Starr's portrayal of Homelander is a subtle level of performance, making it believable that the horrifying figure is really an insecure one.
