[The Boys] [SPOILERS] Could Ryan make Homelander a better person?

Even with his insane amounts of arrogance and narcissism he seems to genuinely care for Ryan in some way, like an actual fatherly attachment to him. Could this be used to make Homelander at least less evil?

No.  Absolute, emphatic no.

Homelander is an utterly irredeemable cunt and Ryan cannot change that.

Homelander doesn't care about Ryan at all.  Ryan isn't a person to him, he's a personification. 
 He sees his younger self in Ryan and he cares about healing the various traumas he suffered at that age, but none of that actually has anything to do with Ryan.  If it did, he would realize that Ryan hasn't actually suffered any of those traumas that Homelander is supposedly trying to shield him from.  He might have a weird life, but he's a genuinely happy kid who enjoys his life and loves his mom and is an unapologetic dork.  Things only start going downhill for him once Homelander shows up.
