   Summary

   If it wasn’t his agent, his publicist, or Bourke—it was Vought who had been up his ass for weeks. Ready to subject him to more petty, monotonous bullshit, all for the sake of their endless fucking reshoots.

   John Gillman is many things: nepotistic by birth, an actor by choice, and the titular character Homelander in the infamous Dawn of the Seven movies.

   He isn’t actually a superhero by any stretch of the imagination.
