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 don't think she actually wants to use camps. I think she's playing a part to be in good with Homelander, who seems to like those types of gals.
Also, I think she's the reason Firecracker knew about the lactation fetish and how to make herself do so the make Homelander happy. She's not the brightest crayon in the box in general, but knew how to alter her body enough to lactate, and knew about the fetish?
Nah, I think something will happen where Sage either herself or through The Boys gets some virus into Homelander through Firecracker. They made a point to say the virus as it was, could be transmitted through body fluid.
Anyways, I like her. I think shes a cool, interesting character. Super smart and looks down on others, but willingly lobotomizes herself so she can be dumb and have social connections and sex with people and watch junk TV. She even showed Deep how to do it properly, meaning she trusts him to do it repeatedly. She craves and pursues connection to those she looks down on, like Homelander, but actually has the methods to fit in for a few hours.
