“Who do You think would would win? (fan replies ‘Omni-Man’) Security get him the fk out. No, you’re probably right. I mean he’s a cartoon right, how are we gonna make that switch…There was a graphic novel actually.. Anyway, Homelander would win, let’s just think of that alright (fan replies ‘I agree to disagree’). Oh go fuing sit down then. Thank you for your question. Thanks, Mate!”
The interaction was interesting to witness and got a bit heated hilariously. Fans have been already talking about this question for a long time and listening to Starr’s wicked take on it was pretty satisfying to hear.
