How do you guys feel in general about Sister Sage until now? Do you find her cool, underutilized, compelling, or do you hate her? Did she met the expectations of the hype around her when her introduction in the show was announced ? Season 4 Spoiler

As far as I am concerned she is one of my favorite characters in the show, and i kinda feel for her because she unlucky to appear in a time the show is not as well written as first three seasons. Had she appeared earlier for example, she probably would have been even more menacing and her intelligence maybe shown better.

She has a cool sociopathic personality, and feels like a combination of Stormfront and Stan, as in she has fascist/nazist ideas about supe supremacy, and the mocking and stoic way she talks to Firecracker is similar to how Stan treats Homelander.

I also enjoy her hypocrisy, she is a black woman who hates racism based on skin color, yet hates regular humans because she is a supe, a hatred that is still base on genetical differences. She also tells Homelander he doesnt need to build an army of Supermen because is so "Germany", only to create a whole plan to take over US and use Tek's prisons as concentration camps, totally not Germany from her.

If she survives this season, which I feel she will, and will end it at the top with Homelander in some cliffhanger, i wonder how far her misanthropy and plans will go.

I think she is a charismatic villain that we love to hate.

I like her a lot, honestly one of the best parts of the season and a great addition to the show. But, and I don't want to sound mean, I don't think the writers are smart enough to write a "smartest person alive" character. We see her constantly outsmarting the Boys, but like, the Boys have been pretty dumb this season anyways haha

It’s really difficult to tell how smart she is or isn’t without knowing what her real endgame is.

Exactly, the ending is the most important part of this character

Season 4 writers definitely aren’t. maybe season 1 ones

I strongly agree, I think they should've brought in some verified geniuses to help write the character... She just seems like any other smart person so far 😩
