What was the safeguard against Noir?

Thats it, thats the joke. Vought made a stronger, more unstable clone of homelander and left him to his own devices with no supervision and no guidance. It is the perfect parody of corporations doing retarded shit with zero hesitation and making the problem worse. A more scathing, cutting, and accurate critique of megacorporations than anything seen in the show.
 
I don't understand why people say I must be mistaken or mean something else.

I think most of the shit I say is very simple and unambiguous. So no, I didn't mean Ackles. Kripke said Starr pushed back on his drumpf shit hard.

Kripke literally wanted Homelander to be cardboard monster, and Starr was like "He has to live there too."

I'm not sure I buy that Kripke fully listened though, they acted like the plane footage was a kryptonite bullet and then he suddenly didn't give a shit. That's... not fantastic.

Back to Ackles, he absolutely refused to play the character as written. That probably resulted in both ambiguity in the audience AND the cartoon dipshit they reworked him as.
 
Of course the show has gone done in retardation. The source material is also retarded. Ennis is a shit writer who doesn't know escalation.

'Hey guys what if this character got raped but this time it's uh, it's with TWO guys? And one of them is eating a baby?'

The telling thing is you could say that about damn near any of his works and nobody would be able to tell. He writes like a 14 year old who might tell you not to come to school one day.
