Is the salaryman/Tanya von Degurechaff’s inability to understand how the Empire (which is a Fantasy Counterpart Culture to pre-World War I Imperial Germany) views war partially based on how a 21st century born-and-raised Japanese civilian views war? The salaryman died in 2013 at age 30, meaning he was born in around 1983. By 2013 (and still the case as of this post), Japan hadn’t been to war since 1945, which was the end of World War II. The Imperial Japanese Armed Forces were reorganized into the Japan Self-Defense Forces.

Obviously, it’s not the only reason, but don’t bring up any other reasons like Tanya being a high-functioning sociopath with an almost Vulcan-like adherence to logic and reason over emotions.

Could a born-and-raised American civilian office worker understand the Deliberate Values Dissonance better than Tanya? In contrast to Japan, the US has had much more wartime experience since then, such as the Korean War (1950-1953), the Vietnam War (1965-1973), the Gulf War (1990-1991), the War in Afghanistan (2001-2021), and the Iraq War (2003-2011).

How and why exactly is Brian Griffin actually a bad writer? Is he just inherently bad at writing or does his problem stem from something else like a combination of ego and laziness?

He’s one of my three anti-inspirations for becoming a writer (alongside BoJack Horseman’s father Butterscotch Horseman and Spider-Man’s Mary Jane Watson’s father Philip Watson), so I want specifics.

For some context, here’s his “bibliography”:

-Faster Than the Speed of Love: His published novel, which is a knockoff of the Iron Eagle film series.

-Wish It, Want It, Do It: His published self-help book with a redundant title that was a surprising success until Bill Maher, Arianna Huffington and Dana Gould destroyed it on air.

-An untitled fictional novel about a guy who lost everything but finds a new life in Canada and the whole book is an E-mail to his daughter who's dead.

-A Passing Fancy: His play that was brilliant by Quahog’s mediocre standards, but terrible by real standards of professional playwrights. Stewie says that it uses overdone clichés and blatant plagiarism, including a line from Seinfeld.

-What I Learned on Jefferson Street: His pilot for a drama (before James Woods turned it into a sitcom called Classholes!) that was painted in-universe as a masterpiece with wasted potential, but the one piece of dialogue heard was a pretentious cliche.

-Something he was typing on his laptop where his dialogue was "A writer who inherits a magic typewriter that writes for him… but then it turns out the typewriter… is racist?!"

-Parent Boppers: A detective show on the Disney Channel he was a scriptwriter on that starred his son Dylan (which is how Brian got the job in the first place) and that Brian would get fired from for going behind the writers’ backs by slipping in material too mature for a kids’ show.

-Attempted to write a sequel to Ernest Hemmingway's The Old Man and the Sea: Stewie asked if that’s allowed and yes, I’m pretty sure it is.

-A 70's funk musical about William Howard Taft: The one song heard was clearly a knockoff of the Shaft theme.

-The Holy Brible: His attempted autobiography, which included a hypocritical title (he’s an atheist).

-Swishy the Football Baby: His published humiliating children’s book (and possibly his only solo success) in response to Stewie basing his own humiliating children’s book series, Flunky The Dumb White Dog, on Brian.

-Chasing My Tale: His published autobiography, which had a poor reception.

-Stewie's Spooky Quahog Nightmare Dance: A Halloween song he wrote with Stewie that’s certainly well-liked in the real world.

-A movie screenplay that Stewie, when he hears it opens in a space brothel, thinks it actually has potential.

-An essay that allowed him to win the New England Rising Writer’s award for an essay he wrote, which he later revealed to have plagiarized from Summer of '42.

-During one of his and Stewie’s time travel episodes, Brian advised his new past self to take false and undeserved credit for the Harry Potter novels.

-During another one of his and Stewie’s time travel episodes, they bring Mark Twain to the present to improve Brian’s own writing, bringing the manuscript for The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn with them. Believing that the writing is more important than the author behind it, Brian attempts to preserve Twain's legacy by publishing The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn under his own name without ever reading it or changing the outdated language and content that was acceptable in the 1880s, despite claiming it to be a master work. This only lead him to getting cancelled and expelled from his writing class (where he wasn’t even doing the work).

Here’s a fun hypothetical scenario: how would Homelander from The Boys do on Planet New Krypton from DC Comics? Read the whole scenario before you comment:

The Boys universe (aspects of the original comics and the TV show) merged together and then again with DC Comics, specifically the Superman: New Krypton saga, that spanned 34 total issues from late 2008 to mid-2010 (taking place about a year in-story). The closest thing we have an adaptation to this is the 2013 movie Superman: Unbound. Whether The Boys’ Earth would merge with DC’s Earth or there would be two Earths in the same solar system is up to you. New Krypton shares the same orbit but is hidden behind the Sun, it is entirely imperceptible from Earth, making it the Counter-Earth trope. The population came from the bottled city of Kandor which was shrunk by Brainiac and kept aboard his ship for decades until Superman freed them and returned them to their original size. The 100,000 Kandorians then used different alien technologies to terraform a new planet in Earth’s solar system. They also freed Kryptonians who were in the Phantom Zone. This meant that they all have the same powers as Superman thanks to the yellow sun, making a world where Everyone Is a Super. They freed the Phantom Zone inmates to build their military due to feeling isolated and threatened by Earth.

During the Superman: New Krypton storyline, the newly created planet was approximately the exact same size as Earth and it was located at the exact same distance from our sun as Earth. Here, The Boys Earth, DC Earth, and New Krypton are all the exact same size and distance from the sun, while exactly the same distance from each other in a triangle. Theoretically, three Earth-sized planets cannot share the same heliocentric orbit without significantly affecting each other. Because they have substantial mass, their mutual gravitational pull would cause orbital chaos, leading to collisions or the ejection of planets from the solar system, unless placed in specific theoretical configurations. However, we’re going to call Artistic License here. Plus, Gods and other cosmic forces are probably involved.

The Boys comic book series ran from mid-2006 to late-2012 (taking place from 2006 to 2008). On DC Comic’s Earth, the year is 2020, while on The Boys’ Earth, the year is 2026.

New Krypton's society and culture was militaristic and isolationist, stemming from their past trauma under Brainiac’s captivity and a superiority complex based on their newly-acquired powers, among other reasons. The government was a guild-based oligarchy led by the Kryptonian Science Council (also known as the High Council). The planet's society and politics were heavily dictated by a strict caste system based on occupational guilds:

-Science Guild: One of the two highest castes in the hierarchy and the ruling elite.

-Military Guild: One of the two highest castes in the hierarchy and the ruling elite.

-Artists Guild: The middle-ranking caste.

-Labor Guild: The lowest-ranking caste, bordering on slaves.

-Religious Guild: Outside and independent of the caste system.

Here, Kal-El was born in 1980, landed on Earth at age three in 1983, became a superhero at age twenty-one in 2001, and helped found the Justice League in 2010 at age thirty (obviously looking younger). He was age thirty-four in 2014 when Kara Zor-El landed on Earth. Here, Superman is forty in 2020 with nineteen years of experience as a superhero, making him a veteran hero. He also trained in Kryptonian martial arts at the Fortress of Solitude as well as learned techniques from Wildcat, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Mongul.

Here, Kara Zor-El landed on Earth in 2014 at the physical age of thirteen after thirty-four years in suspended animation (making her chronologically forty-seven). She became Supergirl in 2016 at the physical age of fifteen and chronological age of forty-nine. Here, Supergirl is physically nineteen/chronologically fifty-three in 2020 with four years of experience as a superhero, making her an experienced crimefighter, but not a veteran. She also has training from Superman, Amazon combat training from Wonder Woman, training in Kryptonian martial arts, forced training with the Female Furies, training from the DEO, and training with the Justice League.

Both of their costumes are dark red and dark blue to help them absorb more solar energy.

Kryptonian characters on the planet include Superman, Supergirl, Zor-El, Alura In-Ze, General Dru-Zod, Ursa, Non, Commander Gor, Vala, Jax-Ur, Chris Kent/Lor-Zod/Nightwing, and Thara Ak-Var/Flamebird.

This version of Homelander combines different elements of the original comic version and the TV show adaptation, making use of the Abled in the Adaptation, Adaptational Angst Downgrade, Adaptational Badass, Adaptational Curves, Adaptational Intelligence, Adaptational Sexuality, Adaptational Skill, Age Lift, Related in the Adaptation, and Truer to the Text TV Tropes, to create the most competent version of the character:

-Appearance: Here, he’s 190 cm/6’3”, 106 kg/235 lbs. with your stereotypical muscular superhero build like in the comics instead of 180 cm/5’11”, 86 kg/190 lbs. with a thin build hidden by a padded suit with fake muscles like in the TV show, but still with Antony Starr’s face and voice. In case you’re wondering, here Superman is 193 cm/6’4 and 113 kg/250 lbs., while Supergirl is 180 kg/5’11” and 81 kg/180 lbs. (Power Girl’s height and weight).

-Age, Aging, and Experience: Like in the comics, Homelander is older (born in 1951) and actually ages slowly in the comics (taking place from 2006 to 2008), he started his superhero career for Vought at age 25 in 1976, being in his late-fifties (likely 57) at the time of his death (issue #65 in 2012) while appearing to be in his late-thirties to early-forties, making his year of death 2008. Whereas in the show, after Soldier Boy provided the genetic material used to make Homelander in late-1980, Homelander was born in 1981, was age 3 in 1984 when Soldier Boy was handed over to the Russians, ages like a normal person, started his superhero career at age 18 in 1999, and was roughly 45 at the time of his death (Antony Starr was 42 when he filmed the series premiere in 2019 and 50 when he filmed the series finale in 2026). For this scenario, he was born in spring (March, April, or May) of 1969, was age 15 in 1984 when Soldier Boy was handed over to the Russians, ages slowly, making him 57 in 2026 with the appearance of a 37-year-old (probably aging similarly to Black Noir I) after starting his career at age 18, meaning he’s a veteran superhero with almost four decades of experience. The Old Superhero also has V1 in his veins, meaning he’s immortal.

-Fighting Skills: Here, he’s a better technical fighter in hand-to-hand combat like in the TV show. In the comics, Unskilled, but Strong is played straight as he relies purely on raw brute strength and overwhelming power. In the TV show, Unskilled, but Strong is downplayed as it’s implied that Vought gave him some actual combat training during his upbringing in the lab, which included fight a huge man as a child. He fought strength-enhanced Vought guards. He just never needed any of that training because he was so powerful and later on people went out of their way to avoid direct combat against him. However, in this scenario, thirty-nine years of public superhero experience has to amount to something. He had a total of four fights in the series that show his fighting style to be more of a brawler.

--In the season three episode Herogasm, he went up against Soldier Boy, who was then helped by Billy Butcher, who are then helped by Hughie Campbell.

--In the season three finale, he has two more fights. First, against Queen Maeve. Then, again against Soldier Boy and Butcher.

--His last fight was in the series finale was against Butcher, Ryan, and Kimiko Miyashiro.

-Family: Like in the show, Homelander is still the son of Jensen Ackles’ Soldier Boy and father to Cameron Crovetti’s Ryan Butcher, who is fourteen here like in the series finale. His relationship with Ryan is like how it was at the end of season three and the beginning of season four when it was most positive, while his relationship with Soldier Boy was like how it was season five when it was most positive, forming a somewhat functional enough Badass Family and Super Family Team, that includes two Action Dads and Old Superheroes (one of whom is also a Badass Grandpa and an Old Soldier). They would not come to New Krypton with him. Black Noir is not a clone of Homelander here like in the comics. However, he would still be an indirect clone of Stormfront, who is female here like in the show, but has powers that are the comics version and the TV show version put together (try not to think about the surprise incest thing here, it’s not relevant).

-Resources and Connections: Steven Calhoun and Ashley Barrett are the President and Vice President of the United States, while Sister Sage is the CEO of Vought International. Homelander is still leader of the Seven consists of Soldier Boy, Sister Sage, Oh Father, the Deep, Firecracker, and Aya Cash’s Stormfront. Homelander would go to New Krypton to represent the US government and Earth itself on the planet, and Vought’s potential corporate interests in the planet and the inhabitants. Homelander is literally Vought’s only point of contact and Earth’s only human contact on New Krypton. Note that it would take a signal traveling at the speed of light about 33 minutes to travel from Earth to a planet on the exact opposite side of the Sun. The very sound of Homelander’s voice and the knowledge that he’ll be back is enough keep President Calhoun and Vice President Barrett obedient.

-Superpower level: Homelander’s powers here are like the comics version and the TV show (whichever one is more powerful is the baseline) put together thanks to having both Stormfront and Soldier Boy’s genetic materials and being injected with Compound V while in utero. Then, he injected himself with V1 as an adult over thirty.

--Because of that, his powers include the superhuman strength of the comics, the superhuman speed of the TV show, the superhuman stamina that’s equal in the comics and TV show, the superhuman senses of the TV show (which includes x-ray vision), the invulnerability of the comics, the healing factor that’s equal in the comics and TV show, the superhuman immune system of the comics, the heat vision of the TV show, the flight power of the TV show, the slowed aging of the comics (which is turned into immortality), and the sonic scream/superhuman voice of the comics, whichever version of each of these single abilities are more powerful, which was then enhanced by V1. He has the skill with these abilities of the TV show.

--This will be critical for him being able to fly through space under his own power to New Krypton. A team of experienced, professional astronomers and other scientists, led by Sister Sage, would calculate a travel plan and return trip that would allow Homelander to reach New Krypton and come back to Earth while flying at top speed (which has got be what? Mach 32? Mach 144?) in the shortest time possible (which would probably be two days). Here, he isn’t affected by radiation like in the comics, so space radiation is not something he needs to worry about. Once on New Krypton, he would probably stay there until the best time for the return trip, which would probably be six months to a year.

--Human beings can survive days without water and weeks without food. The longest time a human being has gone without sleep is eleven days. The longest time a human being has held their breath is twenty-nine minute. Homelander can probably go even longer with food, water, sleep, and oxygen, enough to fly from Earth to New Krypton. There is a very slim of even Homelander surviving flying through space to New Krypton, but let’s just that through some dark miracle, he does. He may even have the kind of devil’s luck that allowed Adolf Hitler to survive forty-two assassination attempts.

-Intelligence, Sanity, and Personality: This version of Homelander is smarter and more intelligent like in the TV show, but is also braver and saner like he is in the comics. In the comics, Homelander went inside from Black Noir gaslighting him, while in the show, he is just naturally unhinged from his upbringing.

--He doesn’t go through Sanity Slippage at all and as a result, never underwent Badass Decay and Took a Level in Dumbass like in the TV show, thus continuing to engage in Pragmatic Villainy instead of Stupid Evil. He has some kind of positive relationship with both Ryan and Soldier Boy. Here, he’s a cunning, ambitious, and strategic master manipulator with a photographic memory. While he is still a Faux Affably Evil Stepford Smiler who fits the Dark Triad (narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism), his crippling psychological weaknesses would be reduced or not present. Beneath his façade is a Deadpan Snarker and Sad Clown who indulges in Tranquil Fury. He would be a high-functioning Smug Snake rather than a Magnificent Bastard.

--He still likes milk, but it’s just his favorite beverage, instead of having a disturbing fixation on breast milk. He doesn’t drink alcohol or do drugs because they have no effect on him.

--He isn’t a Dirty Coward like in the TV show and would be Defiant to the End like in the comics in a worst-case scenario.

--He’s bisexual like in the comics instead of straight like in the TV show.

--A major reason for him going to New Krypton in the first place is so that Earth can have a human representative among the Kryptonians. In other words, an ambassador from Earth, making Homelander an Abadassador. In fact, the President and other politicians gambled on him dying during the journey or being killed by the Kryptonians, once Sister Sage and the other scientists eliminated or minimized all risks that are within their control (probably involve stopping at the International Space Station, waiting it to get into the right orbit, and then he probably slingshot around the sun). The Seven would make sure nobody from Earth got in Homelander’s way (all six would each have their own reasons).

--When called out on being an Ass in Ambassador, he would reluctantly admit to being the Closest Thing We Got like Wolverine in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

--As for why Homelander would go to New Krypton in the first place? He would be first shocked by the idea of an entire alien race having powers like him. Eventually, his curiosity would get the better of him and that he needed to see this place for himself (psychopaths are known be impulsive and not think things through after all). Homelander’s own indomitable will allow him to persevere through the journey itself, even if any second thoughts occur to him the darkness and silence of space. Once he gets to New Krypton, he would experience the culture shock of going from a Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond on his Earth/in his universe to a Big Fish in a Bigger Ocean in the DC universe. How exactly would he react to that? I imagine Supergirl being the first Kryptonian he interacts with. You take the story from there. Obviously, Superman and Homelander will fight one-on-one eventually with Superman winning of course.

How would the Kryptonians react to a human with extremely similar powers to what they gain under yellow sunlight?

Would Vought Internation and the US government send New Krypton a communication signal ahead of time to see if they got it and he is coming or would he surprise them by not giving them anytime to prepare?  Homelander would go regardless of whether or not the Kryptonians said “no”.

If the government didn’t send a signal and Homelander surprised the Kryptonians, how would they react to his sudden appearance?

Here’s a fun hypothetical scenario: how would Homelander from The Boys do on Planet New Krypton from DC Comics? Read the whole scenario before you comment:

The Boys universe (aspects of the original comics and the TV show) merged together and then again with DC Comics, specifically the Superman: New Krypton saga, that spanned 34 total issues from late 2008 to mid-2010 (taking place about a year in-story).

-Artists Guild: The middle-ranking caste.

-Labor Guild: The lowest-ranking caste, bordering on slaves.

-Religious Guild: Outside and independent of the caste system.

Kal-El landed on Earth at age three and became a superhero at age twenty-one. He was age twenty-five when Kara Zor-El landed on Earth. Here, Superman is thirty-one with ten years of experience as a superhero, making him a veteran hero. He also trained in Kryptonian martial arts at the Fortress of Solitude as well as learned techniques from Wildcat, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Mongul.

Kara Zor-El landed on Earth at the physical age of thirteen after twenty-five years in suspended animation (making her chronologically thirty-eight). She became Supergirl at the physical age of fifteen and chronological age of forty. Here, Supergirl is physically nineteen/chronologically forty-four with four years of experience as a superhero, making her an experienced crimefighter, but not a veteran. She also has training from Superman, Amazon combat training from Wonder Woman, training in Kryptonian martial arts, forced training with the Female Furies, training from the DEO, and training with the Justice League.

Both of their costumes are dark red and dark blue to help them absorb more solar energy.

However, like in the TV show, Homelander started his superhero career for Vought at age 18, while in the comics, he was 25. For this scenario, he is 57 after starting his career at age 18, meaning he’s a veteran superhero with almost four decades of experience. The Old Superhero also has V1 in his veins, meaning he’s immortal.

I imagine Supergirl being the first Kryptonian he interacts with. You take the story from there. Obviously, Superman and Homelander will fight one-on-one eventually.
