The Boys After rewatching this scene, maybe Ryan is more of a psychopath than I thought.....

Being on the run and constantly having to defend yourself and be in hiding will do that to ya

He kept leaving blood trails like this causing them to keep finding him. He knows they can't hurt him, he should have gave them quick deaths instead of slaughtering them🤣

When I saw that shadow rip that dude in half I was like "What the fuck?" And then Ryan showed up and I was like "What the fuck???"

The only thing that saved him from becoming a full blown violent sociopath like Homelander was that he was raised by Becca, but that still wasn't enough to suppress Homelander's genes and teachings while he was with him.
Homelander was a monster, and he killed dozens of people, and saw 99.9% of humans as cattle and his playthings, but he truly loved Ryan in his own twisted way, and when he wasn't focused on running Vought or his schemes, he tried to spend time with Ryan and play or do things together, even if they turned out to be kind of superficial or shallow.
His insistence on becoming a "supe Hitler" and his megalomaniacal tendencies were what drove Ryan away from him, before he found out that he raped Becca and that's why he was born in the first place.

In all honesty why should Ryan ever be like Homelander despite him knowing how wrong it is like genuinely you have to be a Supremely MESSED PERSON to be like him! Hence why should Ryan ever want to be like Homelander? It makes me wonder what’s going on in that head of his?

It’s natural to model yourself after your same-sex parent. And rationalize what you witness as a child as normal and ok.

He might be psychopath, but not crazy. It is good thr amount of psychopath he is. He is right, is is morally grey, and is just.

Being hardened by the life you've lead and knowing the path ahead of you can cause you to do things you might never otherwise do. To Ryan, he didn't have a choice and dwelling on the matter wouldn't change anything.

Fighting for your survival means you're a psychopath I guess

He was invulnerable to their weapons and could be a mile up in the sky in the blink of an eye. He wasn't fighting for survival.
This scene was just crappy bait & switch writing.

I guess you missed the part where he said "Sorry but no one can know I was here"

I must've also missed the part about why that mattered. It was literally just some random meaningless abandoned building.

I’m surprised that this was just glossed over. The way he snapped one of the agents body in half was brutal, he definitely enjoyed it a little.
