Homelander's Severe Mommy Issues Led to His Disturbing Milk Obsession

Why does Homelander like milk such a lot in 'The Boys'? Here's the entirety we know about the supe's disturbing obsession with the beverage.

We can all agree that Homelander is essentially the most intimidating supe in The Boys, right?

He's probably the most vilest characters to grace the small display, and he is, for sure, the worst type of individual to possess superpowers as a result of he cares for not anything and nobody. Overall, Homey is only one sadistic chap.

With that mentioned, we need to remember the fact that virtually each and every superhero has a weak spot; although it's going to look like Homey is void of all human emotion and feeling, he does have his personal kryptonite — milk. There's a lot more to it, but we will delve into that later.

For now, let's figure out why Homelander likes milk such a lot.

So, why does Homelander like milk?

If you are curious to perceive why Homey likes milk, now we have two words for you: mommy issues.

Throughout Season 1, Homey has an uncanny obsession with Madelyn Stillwell. He secretly watches her pump breast milk and turns into more and more jealous of her infant son. Homey's jealousy reaches its top when he sees Madelyn breastfeeding her son in private, further suggesting that he wants a motherly figure who will nurture him in a similar way.

OK, we're certainly not protecting him or excusing his homicidal movements, however we really feel bad for Homey.

He never had a chance to enjoy humanity — he used to be born and raised in a lab, surrounded by way of scientists who constantly conducted experiments on him all the way through his youth. Even worse, Homey spent maximum of his young existence restrained with a hydrogen bomb strapped to him until he cooperated. No child will have to ever be treated like that.

Now, the second season is the place Homey's obsession with breast milk deepens additional.

In the Season 2 premiere, the supe walks around Madelyn's empty workplace and mourns her death. Nevertheless, he cannot prevent himself from taking the remaining bottle of her breast milk and downing it in a matter of seconds. The scene is somewhat unsettling.

Homey's obsession unexpectedly takes a flip as he soon drinks from a jug of store-bought milk. While that seems beautiful abnormal, the way he reacts is sort of orgasmic.

Speaking of, Homey even milks a cow in Season 3 and looks to derive sexual pleasure from the act. After all is alleged and performed, Homey beverages the cow's milk from a bucket and looks relieved to have a taste. So weird.

Antony Starr stated Homelander's milk obsession used to be a "total surprise."

In September 2020, Antony Starr — who portrays Homey in the superhero series — spoke with Collider about Season 2 and addressed his character's obsession with milk, saying that the storyline was a "total surprise."

"It’s funny, it started off with one scene," Antony confessed. "And then, that was so weird that whenever I had a scene where I could throw it in, I did. And I encouraged [Ryan] to drink milk."

"There are some pretty weird moments through the season. As soon as we figured out where that could go, Eric said, 'Hell yeah, let’s run with it!' That was it. It became the motif of the season for Homelander’s weakness and neediness," he persevered.

"I’ve gotta be honest, some of the biggest laughs of the season when we were shooting were around trying desperately to work milk in. Some have stayed and some of them went," Antony added. "Actually, maybe that was my biggest challenge, going back to the prior question. The biggest challenge for me was trying to get milk into scenes, as much as possible."

The Season Three finale of The Boys drops July 8, handiest on Prime Video.
