I also think The Deep is a far tougher sell. Both have done terrible things but The Deep is a huge sexual predator and a real redemption arc for him would be pushing it.
I think they need to keep him as a comical dumb character with misfortunes that we can laugh/squeal/cringe at, like gill-rape, dolphin and whale deaths and Timothy, while staying just enough of an ####### that some schadenfreude is deserved but pushing it to still be uncomfortable. I could see Homelander ####ing his wife in front of him next.
So maybe an in-world “redemption” for The Deep where he retires/dies a hero to the masses but viewers know he’s still just a selfish deplorable ####### while A-Train actually does redeem himself to viewers but ends up being a has been in-universe would be a good juxtaposition.
While I’m certainly getting ahead of myself, I might also just have to realize that in The Boys maybe everyone is #######s.
Also forgot that that Black Noir was revealed to be Black and wanted to stop wearing the mask. Maybe he gets an arc that seemed to be going to A-Train instead.
