The Boys creator and showrunner Eric Kripke says Homelander is quite possibly the most miserable he's ever been in the fifth and final season... and yeah, that tracks.
"We really make the point of the more powerful he becomes, the less happy he becomes," Kripke says in the latest issue of SFX. "He can't understand why. He assumes that he just needs to get a little more powerful. We have a guy who the president answers to, and he finds himself more miserable than ever. He’s like, 'Okay, what are the next steps that can finally make me happy?' We explore those steps in season five, and they’re batshit."
