Trivia: Simon Pegg's extended cameo as Hughie's father is a specific nod to the comics - the look of "Wee Hughie" in the original comics was based on Simon Pegg. Artist Darick Robertson said "it was important to capture an innocence but tough determination in Hughie. Two things that seemed to contradict each other and somehow in early sketches he kept looking too old. When I saw Simon Pegg in Spaced I thought he captured that balance perfectly." Pegg knew he was too old to play the character himself, but was happy to play his father.
Trivia: Season 4 of this show was review-bombed by angry conservative fans upon coming to the late conclusion that the show was a not-so-subtle mockery of their collective ideologies. Some of these same fans mistakenly believed that Homelander was supposed to be the hero. Homelander actor Antony Starr said these fans were missing the point.
