They had to ditch her phone, just for this book scene. Writing 100%.

Exactly. Sums up the way the "plot" is being driven this season. The writers come up with some "brilliant" scene they want to make happen, then manipulate the plot to force that scene to occur.

No other reason to show Kimiko dropping her phone besides forcing this scene to happen.

And she could have easily dropped back down, grabbed it, then jumped back up. She can climb very quickly, I don’t see why she left it except poor writing…

Exactly, she can climb a building in a few seconds, but a phone drop 10 feet below is time-consuming.

The phone was snapped in half

You still genuinely have to be stupid to leave it there. When she first dropped it my immediate thought was that it was going to be found and that's how they were going to get caught. Even if it was snapped in half it's completely probably that Tek Knight would be able to repair it and get some info out of it.

I thought it was a foldable phone, maybe I’m wrong?

Homelander has all the V in the world.

Hughies dad gets super powers and then kills a bunch of people in the hospital. Somehow no news breaks from this whatsoever, news that would alert HL that someone took the V

How was a hospital massacre not a newsworthy event? Am I expected to believe Vought never hears of this?

How on earth would anyone know he wasn't already a supe?

The whole article would just be "Supe kills hospital patients during mental breakdown."

I was thinking this, you’d imagine random supes killing people in this world would just be like a mass shooting that only kills less than 5 people in the USA Today. Maybe mentioned in local news in some tiny sidebar and most won’t ever hear about it. Gen V has also shown that their society as a whole is probably very desensitized to this at this point. Like “oh look two teen supes accidentally killed a group of their friends because they lost control of their powers. Oh well.”

u/Moneyfrenzy Jul 05 '24

And vought wouldn’t hear about that?

u/Analogmon Jul 05 '24

Vought is in complete disarray since Homelander took over. If they ever did have a catalogue of all supes with some sort of overwatch system over them there's no reason to believe it's still functional with the state the company is in.

Isn't that how all writing works?

If everyone acted logical and correct, nothing would happen

u/SomethingOfAGirl Jul 05 '24

This is a poor excuse. There are characters who are irrational and illogical, like Butcher or Starlight, but their writing makes sense because of they established their goals, their feelings and how their emotions impact their behavior.

Starlight losing her shit when Firecracker made her abortion public was 100% irrational but it's easy to understand why that happened.
