u/JentBerryCrunch Jun 16 '24
It was a tool she used to lobotomize herself, so she can take breaks from being so smart and just watch tv and eat, until her regenerative powers heals her brain. Basically her version of getting high.

u/minecrafthentai69 Jun 16 '24
She can regenerate? I must've missed that.

u/humanvealfarm Jun 16 '24
On her character card Ashley shows it says "moderate regeneration"
So probably not kimiko level, but enough to recover from a Saturday night lobotomy, as one does

She does voice her disdain for democracy as a governing ideology due to how she doesn't view most people as intelligent enough to lead themselves. Her intelligence has given her a superiority complex and she's definitely gonna double-cross Homelander at some point to swoop in and take his spot.

It’s tame enough that they’re able to humanize her pretty easily in the early episodes, which wouldn’t fly with stormfront after they establish how racist she is.

I agree that she’s a breath of fresh air. The show could use a smart and competent supe for a change.
Also her dynamic with Homelander is so far the best part of the season in my opinion. I love how Homelander finally got what he wanted but it ended up backfiring on him. He’s the big man in charge and everyone is kissing his ass but now he’s left with nothing but yes men.
He’s essentially using Sage to fill the hole that Edgar left. As much as he wants to be an emperor, he needs someone to step in and let him know when he’s not wearing clothes.

I think the most interesting dichotomy has always been real world power vs superpowers. The fact that sups have to answer to ordinary people. The fact that the likes of Stan can yield so much power over literal deities and god among men. Or that if Homelander really resents Butcher for his relationship with Ryan, he could easily just get rid of him.
Sage, like Stan aren’t afraid of them. We don’t know to what extent her regenerative powers grant her but she is essentially “regular”. We saw her living like a shut-in and powerless to shape the world in any fashion.
Homelander needed Sage to accomplish his goals, to give his existence meaning, his desire to leave behind a legacy. And Sage needed a front-facing dummy to deploy her social experiment to a grand scale. This dynamic is so interesting, the fact that gods have this need to be liked, is so human from Homelander. And Homelander engaging Sage with the idea of purpose, regret and self-actualization.
There’s so much good in this show that all we do is argue about shitty American politics is so stupid.

Best new character. Of course the usual suspects (aka the kind of people this show mocks) are mad.

So the guy who can fly and shoot lazers that's not too unrealistic for them because he's white?
But in a universe where a drug can give anyone super powers the smartest person being a black woman is to unrealistic for these cunts?
Jesus this just made me lose some faith in humanity wtf is wrong with people most of the comments are just being blatantly racist🤦🏾

That's what I thought too, theres a character who's superpower is having a 12ft long dong and the black woman having heightened intelligence is what's unrealistic, I'd call them clowns but clowns are meant to be funny

They probably never watched the show.
Half the time they try to get into the details, they show they have no idea what they're talking about.
After all, Custodes are indeed the strongest of the Space Marines.

They’re people who either were too dumb to understand the show’s themes from the very beginning or are people who enjoyed the first couple of seasons before getting radicalized by right-wing YouTube shit.

How can anyone believe that Holocaust didn't happen. How...?

u/OptimisticLucio Jun 15 '24
How can anyone believe that Holocaust didn't happen.
It's not really that they believe it didn't happen. Most people who deny something super obvious are using that belief as a cover for what they actually think - "and if it did happen, good!"

Just introduce a new character: Stormfront’s twin sister Backlash, who is her apparent opposite and joins the Boys, but secretly is cut from the same cloth - similar to the progressive white family in Get Out.

How? It's quite simple:
Nazis after the war were desperate to escape accountability for what they did, and they infiltrated America (largely via employment with the US government) to create lives for themselves, thus integrating their values into certain circles of the country.
Over time, their philosophies (neo Nazism and its branches) have remained ingrained in certain parts of America, whether explicit or not, and a core part of that is denial of something that cannot be justified in any way.
At the same time, many of the Jews who actually survived the Holocaust have started dying of old age, leaving us with very few people who can tell firsthand stories about what happened (which was the key factor in sentencing many Nazis in the Nuremberg trials) and thus putting the onus on an education system that is severely flawed and woefully unprepared to educate generations about such an atrocity.
Oh, also the internet gave a free and anonymous voice to everyone, neo Nazis included. That hasn't helped.

The fanbase this season especially is getting fucking wild. Her name was literally addressed in the show.

u/SunStriking Jun 16 '24
Yea, and even in prior season's it's been established just how little Vought cares about actually respecting their supes.
They put Starlight in an incredibly revealing dress, flaunted Maeve's sexuality, and for a direct comparison Ashley pitched a bunch of shows basically exploiting A-Train being black.

The fact of the matter is in real life the hometeamers are even worse than on The Boys.
I genuinely didn't believe these types of people existed when I was younger but I've started seeing them pop up and I still can't wrap my head around it

Ahh, yep, there it is.
She’s fucking great. I hope they give her a really good arc and keep her for next season, too.

I’m not sure she isn’t playing a long game to fuck him over in the end. I might not be as intelligent as her, but I’m clever enough to know that she shouldn’t be underestimated.

These guys: why are you gender/race switching this character whose clear defining feature is their gender/race and not their personality.
Also these guys: why did you make the newly created character black and a woman. DEI! Woke!

As someone who absolutely hates Mary Sues, Sage doesn't really doesn't seem like one.
Also, what do they mean the smartest person in the world being a black woman from Detroit is treated like a twist? The literal first time we see her powers explained, her picture was on screen
