This scene from S5E1 actually had a nice callback to S3
A-train's speech parallels Homelander's in S3 when he was talking to Stan Edgar. What's ironic is that Homelander doesn't really believe what he's saying, it was a pathetic attempt of posturing against Stan Edgar, while A-train's words poured salt deep into his wounds.
It also influenced Homelander to release Soldier Boy which kickstarted this entire season and possibly Sage switching teams.
The ultimate redemption arc.
