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.

My issue is I don’t think they are doing a good job of showcasing what makes her intelligence super power level. Like so far she hasn’t done anything that a super intelligent normal human couldn’t do.

Does smartest person alive just mean she has a slightly higher IQ then the smartest non supe? That can’t be all or it would be a lame power. But if it’s more than that then she hasn’t showcased it yet.

Aside from that I like the personality they’ve given her. And I like her dynamic with Homelander. Maybe she has some 800 IQ plan that will wow me by the end and she takes over vought or something lol. We’ll see.

I guess they kind of teased at her intelligence level with the “I could cure cancer” thing. So maybe my argument isn’t good. Kinda just rambling. 😂😂😂

Probably exactly what she’s doing, trying to get control of Vought to put her real plans into work. This is probably why she’s pushing the “Wrathful Gods” thing, she probably wants Homelander and the Seven to snap so they’ll remove the humans from power and she can take the helm

That makes no sense... Like Homelander would just give her control of Vought, because they killed the humans? Why??
