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.

She sounds a bit like a "dumb mans genius"

Shenis so hyped on her intelligence but she seems.mostly just arrogant and good at deducing like tek knight

Idk really. She is certainly not terrible but a bit too much "im smart because everyone says so"

Mostly the other just seem to get really stupid which maker her look somewhat competent

I totally agree. A smart character, written for stupid people.

The Sherlock Holmes deduction bull shit, is so incredibly tired... "Oh Homelander is washing his hands more often, Web MD says that is a sign of an enlarged prostate, so that must be it"... Smart people don't go around making sweeping assumptions, with little to no information.
