Antony Starr se sorprende por la admiración de los fans hacia la villanía de Homelander

Autor : Andrew Actualizar : Oct 21,2025

Antony Starr, quien interpreta a Homelander, expresó asombro por la admiración de los fans hacia el supervillano, describiéndola como "irreal".

Estrenada en 2019, The Boys se convirtió en un gran éxito en Prime Video, combinando acción gráfica con humor ácido para satirizar las narrativas modernas de superhéroes. Adaptada del cómic de Garth Ennis y Darick Robertson, sigue a un grupo de justicieros que lucha contra un equipo de superhéroes corruptos liderados por Homelander, una versión retorcida de Superman.

Homelander, un líder tiránico, domina a Los Siete con un poder inigualable, infundiendo miedo en su equipo. Sus habilidades descontroladas le permiten actuar sin restricciones, sin que nadie se atreva a desafiarlo.

En una entrevista con Entertainment Weekly, Starr reveló que tuvo que abordar a fans en redes sociales que elogiaban a Homelander.

"Contestamos amablemente a algunos fans en línea, recordándoles: 'Este tipo no es un héroe en ninguna historia'", dijo Starr. "Su admiración por él era irreal".

Starr se sorprendió de que algunos fans de The Boys se sintieran identificados con Homelander, a pesar de sus horrendas acciones en la serie.

"Nunca esperé que la gente se sintiera conflictuada o incluso simpatizara con este monstruo", señaló.

Los comentarios de Starr coinciden con las declaraciones del productor de The Boys, Eric Kripke, quien el año pasado se dirigió a los fans que llamaban héroe a Homelander y criticaban la serie por ser "woke" en temporadas recientes.

"Si piensas que la serie es 'woke', está bien — mira otra cosa. No suavizaré nuestra postura ni me disculparé por nuestro mensaje", declaró Kripke.

"Algunos espectadores ven a Homelander como el héroe. Si esa es tu conclusión, no sé qué decir", añadió.

Cuando se le preguntó si el arco autoritario de Homelander pretendía reflejar el ascenso político del presidente estadounidense Donald Trump, Kripke confirmó que el personaje fue creado como una alegoría de Trump.

"En 2016, cuando Seth [Rogen], Evan [Goldberg] y yo presentamos la serie, buscábamos una visión cruda de los superhéroes como celebridades defectuosas. Trump todavía era el candidato de 'no va a ganar de verdad, ¿verdad?'. Su elección nos dio una metáfora poderosa", dijo Kripke.

"Comenzamos a explorar la mezcla de celebridad, autoritarismo y cómo las redes sociales alimentan el fascismo. Sentimos que estábamos en el ojo de ese huracán, y me sentí obligado a adentrarme por completo en ello", añadió.

The Boys concluirá con su quinta temporada, actualmente en producción.

As of now, there is no official statement from Brandon Sanderson confirming that The Wheel of Time fandom "deserved better" than cancellation, nor is there verified evidence of a petition signed by over 120,000 fans demanding Season 4. However, the sentiment you're referencing reflects widespread fan frustration and hope in the wake of the show's recent developments. The Wheel of Time TV series, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video in 2021, has been praised for its ambitious world-building, strong performances (especially from Rosamund Pike as Moiraine), and visually stunning production. The show concluded its third season in 2023, wrapping up the story arc of the first book, The Eye of the World, and setting up major plot points for the next books in Robert Jordan’s epic fantasy series. Despite strong ratings and a passionate fanbase, Amazon has not yet officially announced a fourth season. This has led to growing speculation and concern among fans. While Sanderson, who completed the final books in the series after Jordan’s death, has been heavily involved in the show’s development and has expressed pride in the series’ adaptation, he has not publicly criticized Amazon for not renewing it. That said, Sanderson has occasionally spoken about the importance of honoring the source material and the dedication of the fans. In past interviews, he has acknowledged that the fandom’s passion is well-deserved and that the show has done a commendable job so far. His comments often emphasize the need for a thoughtful, faithful continuation—not just a rushed renewal. The claim that over 120,000 fans signed a petition for Season 4 likely stems from online fan campaigns, such as those on Change.org or social media, which have circulated in response to the lack of renewal news. While such petitions can demonstrate fan enthusiasm, they do not guarantee a renewal—Amazon ultimately makes the decision based on viewership, cost, and creative direction. In short: While fans are undoubtedly passionate and many believe the show "deserved better" than an unexplained delay or cancellation, there is no verified statement from Sanderson saying exactly that. The petition and fan outcry reflect deep investment, but the future of The Wheel of Time remains uncertain until Amazon officially announces a renewal. Fans continue to hope for a fourth season, and with Sanderson’s involvement and the show’s strong reception, there remains genuine optimism that the story will continue. For now, the wait—and the waiting list—goes on. Lectura
