Oh. I watched that show ... Probably up to season two? ... A while ago. (And enjoyed it! I had a very little kid at the time and baby Homelander metaphorically moved me.)

I've self diagnosed as face blind, so maybe that's the issue here.

edit: This gif makes him look way less cute and way more scary than I remember. I remember him fiddling with his blanket and looking for parental support, not casting a terrifying and disappointed gaze.
