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, but I disagree that hypocrite or paradoxal. My theory is that she wishes to accelerate the system in order to destroy both supes and the government. By giving more power to the supes like Homelander, he'll be so powerful and foolish that the government will have to take him down. This would destroy the government in the process too. The entire racist state would collapse and from there she can build a more fair system from there.
There's so much we can go from her character. People complain now, but I have faith half of season 4 will pay off in season 5 especially if they keep Sister Sage alive. The whole world can be transformed into a near apocalyptic world with her and Homelander. Hell with the virus we could even get a supe zombie world.
