But you're probably right, what we see is what we get which is...hard to swallow. On his best day Homelander is still an overgrown child, which means he's been a ticking bomb since day one, and they have no counter for that (ie the need for Ryan)? And people similar in power but not as powerful as Homelander (the rest of the Seven, other superheroes, et al) no investigation, no Slabside/The Raft equivalent, they're just...celebrities, but they even keep tabs on real life celebrities so even that falls through in the end.
