A standout element in Homelander’s bundle is the milk bottle appeal, a transparent nod to his unsettling obsession in The Boys. It’s a small however intelligent contact that retains the present’s darkish humor alive, even in Rainbow Six Siege.
It’s a stable collaboration on paper. The Boys has already made its manner into Name of Obligation and Mortal Kombat 1, proving that its over-the-top characters can match into wildly totally different genres. However in Siege, Homelander’s look isn’t fairly sitting proper with followers.

Different The Boys crossovers, like Name of Obligation and Mortal Kombat 1, saved his traditional, spotless look intact. So why did Ubisoft resolve to drench him in blood like he simply walked out of a Doom sport?
Whereas a majority speculate it is a intelligent tactic to sidestep full likeness rights for Antony Starr. Others assume it is an inventive option to align with Siege’s gritty aesthetic.
