The superhero — or rather, anti hero — who has got everyone talking has just been given one of the biggest accolades that a cape wearer could get. We are talking, of course, about Homelander just being named as TIME magazine’s Superhero Of The Hero.
The mock interview featured in the magazine is one of the PR moves for the recently released season of the show, ‘The Boys‘. The interview gives fans an almost realistic interview of the villain…err.. hero. Here’s what John Gillman alias Homelander revealed in his interview, and how he feels about the accolade.
Homelander Sits Down For An Interview Accepting The ‘Superhero Of The Year’ Accolade
The Time interview starts with John Gillman posing as the Homelander as the interviewer asks him how he feels about the accolade. In true Homelander fashion, Gillman responds, “Don’t get me wrong, you’ve got a great magazine. Of course I’m honored, but accolades like this … Let’s just say they aren’t what gets me out of bed in the morning.”
“Think about it—if I don’t save people, who will? Without me, the world would burn. Literally. Fire and blood,” he adds. He then talks about how he would like people to change people’s perception of him.
“A little respect would be nice. You know, with all the hate and discrimination and just … completely baseless legal accusations being thrown at superheroes lately, I hope this makes people stop and think about all of the sacrifices we make for them,” he says.
The superhero also talks about his son, Ryan as the bearer of his legacy after him. “Ryan is my legacy. One day—ages from now—people will have to look to him for salvation instead of me. You could say he’s my gift to the world,” he says, adding, “Can’t ride my cape his whole life.”
The interview is simulated and is a PR move from the series that has just released it’s fourth season. Many have also pointed out that this was done before by ‘Attack On Titan’ for Eren Jaeger.

‘The Boys’ Season 4 Brings Much More To The Show
After releasing the first three episodes of the much anticipated Season 4 of Eric Kripke’s ‘The Boys‘, fans are anxiously anticipating the release of the fourth episode. Many even expressed their surprise at the show being given a green light for another season, considering it’s violence and questionable morals.
Nevertheless, it’s possibly one of the best shows of the genre and fans are absolutely devouring it. Two new Super Heroes, Firecracker and Sister Sage, are introduced in Season 4. Furthermore, Claudia Doumit’s (Victoria Neuman) rise to political prominence might make her the vice president.
The fourth season introduces newcomers Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Valorie Curry, and Susan Heyward in addition to the well-known faces of Karl Urban, Jack Quaid, Jessie T. Usher, Chace Crawford, Tomer Capone, Karen Fukuhara, and Colby Minifie.
The show is available to stream on Amazon Prime.
