After something like, the second season it was painfully obvious that the writers were too scared / being told not to kill the main characters. Homelander had so many opportunities to kill them all and prevent a lot of trouble for himself. Not only him, It just dragged on and on and on...
Agreed, but my take on it is that he's like the Joker, "I don't want to kill you, you're just too much fun." He doesn't see the boys as a threat really until last season, and as much as Homelander enjoys killing I think he enjoys the turmoil the boys cause in his world even more. He's an agent of chaos.
