Fans Can’t Believe What Rainbow Six Siege Did To Homelander In The Boys Crossover

by

Summary

  • The Boys villains introduced in Siege crossover bundle for R6 Credits.
  • Fans confused by Homelander’s bloody appearance in Siege skin.
  • Design choice contradicts Homelander’s clean image from The Boys, leaving players puzzled.

The recent collaboration between Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege and The Boys was expected to be a home run, essentially an ideal pairing in the world of tactical shooting games.

However, rather than rejoicing over the appearance of Homelander and Black Noir, fans are intriguingly focused on an unusual, gory aspect – an element that transforms Homelander from a mighty Super into a discarded character reminiscent of Carrion’s castoff extras.

One fan drew an analogy that questioned the logic of his design in Siege:

Black Noir seems more suitable. Homelander, to use an analogy, is like having a car in a racing game that looks like a fighter jet but drives like a regular car. In such a case, it would be preferable to have a car with a more exciting design, you know…

Rainbow Six Siege X The Boys Crossover Brings Blood and Skins

In this update, the crossover features two significant The Boys antagonists: Aces, modeled as Homelander, and Deimos standing in for Black Noir. You have the option to purchase the complete set for 4080 R6 Credits or opt for each character individually at a cost of 1944 R6 Credits.

Notably, among Homelander’s collection, there’s a milk bottle trinket – an unmistakable reference to his disturbing fixation as portrayed in The Boys. This subtle yet witty detail manages to preserve the show’s dark comedy even within the context of Rainbow Six Siege.

The collaboration seems robust on the surface. Characters from The Boys have been successfully integrated into Call of Duty and Mortal Kombat 1, demonstrating their adaptability across diverse game genres. However, in Siege, Homelander’s presence is causing some discomfort among fans.

What’s Up with The Boys’ Homelander’s Face?

In the instant players witnessed Homelander in Siege, one detail immediately caught their attention—he was completely soaked in blood. Since this gory state seems to be inherent to his character design, it’s safe to assume it wasn’t a mistake. Many fans believe that Ubisoft is cleverly circumventing likeness rights for Antony Starr in this way.

“They covered him in blood to make it so his likeness isn’t as obvious 💀.”

People are finding something unusual about this character, not only the blood but also the overall appearance of the model. Some fans even think it resembles a homemade cosplay, rather than an authentic representation of the Homelander character.

“Why does he look more like a random Siege operator wearing a cheap Halloween costume?”

Another added, “The way his mouth moves when he talks is cursed.”

One peculiar aspect of this design decision is that it seems to contradict Homelander’s character from The Boys. On the series, Homelander is consistently neat, poised, and never appears to be casual about blood.

In contrast to other crossovers featuring The Boys, such as with Call of Duty and Mortal Kombat, which maintained his original pristine look, it’s puzzling why Ubisoft chose to depict him drenched in blood, giving off the impression that he had just emerged from a game like Doom.

Some people believe it’s a strategic move to avoid full rights to Antony Starr’s likeness, while others see it as an artistic decision to match Siege’s raw style. Additionally, some think it might be a witty reference to the violent and bloody scenes of Homelander in The Boys.

Regardless of the cause, the performance has puzzled, amused, or bewildered Siege gamers.
