The Boys' Antony Starr Wants Cash Money For All Your Homelander Memes

But why are people so taken with Starr’s portrayal of Homelander? He has an incredible knack for expressive facial cues that sing on the small screen — capturing a variety of emotions with a few tics of his eyebrows and glances. Also, it doesn’t hurt that Homelander consistently finds himself in bizarre scenarios that make great fodder for memes. He’s often looking upset and covered in blood or appearing sinisterly happy with a maniacal smile: A huge range of emotions like these make memes work best for setting up a punchline.

Homelander maybe had a minute of screen time on “Gen V,” but even that led to more memes. When Homelander approaches Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), he asks, “What kind of animal are you?” People have taken this line and ran with it, such as TikToker @desiqnzh uploading the clip with the caption, “Me finding out some people put socks on before their underwear.” However, the best use of this meme may have come from @blurayangel on X, who captioned the video with, “Everyone hearing Antony Starr wants to be paid for #TheBoys Homelander memes.”

Starr won’t make any money off the memes any time soon, which is a shame because there’s bound to be a flood of new ones shortly. With the trailer for “The Boys” Season 4 released, it’s obvious Homelander is still a major player with an axe (and people) to grind.
