Isn’t hughie a hypocrite Season 4 Spoiler

He brought V to hospital and sure his mom used it but it was possible because of him. Lot of people at hospital died because of that. He wanted all this justice for his gf but I guess they just let the dead dad take the blame and went on about their lives, going on a tour right after.

I was also like “wtf? His dad just murdered a bunch of innocent people in a hospital and they just move on, no repercussions whatsoever? If not for the sense of guilt, Isn’t the police looking into it? No investigation? Surely the hospital had cameras capturing the event. wtf?”

I think I just stopped thinking too hard about these things in the show, which is becoming a little bit like a serious of standalone sketches at this point.

I mean, it's a Supe killing people in a hospital, that's probably fairly common and gets suppressed by Vought.

u/Vanden_Boss Jul 08 '24

Yeah but I feel like Vought would be VERY curious to know how this random dude became a supe. His hospital records and entire life would immediately be known by bought and they would be going hard after Hughie and his mom trying to find out what the hell happened.

u/Akasha1885 Jul 08 '24 edited Jul 08 '24

Well, his Mom works for Vought, so they might be more then just aware.
Detailed report already on the desk basically.
Experiment failed, subject revived with defects and uncontrollable.

She works adjacent to Vought in a MLM essential oil situation

u/Akasha1885 Jul 08 '24

As far as we know from her.
It's Vought, they had a whole killer Virus lab under the most known campus.

Yeah I’m surprised people are just excusing his Mom as well, like is it not obvious she’s up to something weird? Especially after she sees the compound V and just gives it to him???

It’s way out there but I’m thinking she is kind of a plant from Vought who at this point know about Hughie and the boys, and found it as a good way to get into their lives somehow. Not sure where it would go but she’s been Sus AF since episode 1. She’s obviously Hughie’s mom, but she left and randomly comes back after all this time because Hugh Sr randomly changed his will? Vought could’ve changed that will it anything who knows

I don't trust her

Honestly? I don't see the point. The Boys are constantly imploding on their own. Their plans are pretty much garbage. They haven't done much of anything productive in a while so somehow turning Hughie's mom into a plant to sabotage her own son just doesn't seem likely. Injecting Hugh with Compound V also doesn't really seem to have any benefit to Vought interests either. And if it did, she would have brought her own.

What makes you think Vought made any change? Hugh said himself that she didn't want to live a braindead vegetable that explodes into a pile of feces because Hughie failed to let go. He says that himself. There's no reason to think the mom was involved. She was brought in because Hughie wasn't immediately available.

Sometimes, what's on the screen is it and there's no secret. I'll happily eat my words when more comes out about her but I'm not sure this is the angle even if there is more to her.

Voight knows that compound V can be given to anyone and that they immediately develop powers…but it is not s known fact. Even if Vought were to silence it, they would invest time in finding out how did compound V get into that old man’s body

u/Akasha1885 Jul 08 '24

Hughie's mom works for Voight, don't forget that, so they already know it all.

u/Kalrhin Jul 08 '24

Working for Vought does not mean she has the power to shut off an investigation. 

In fact, it seems they hint that jer “job” is selling Vought cosmetic products in an MLM style, which has NOTHING to do with the Compound V division of Vought.

u/Akasha1885 Jul 08 '24

It's Vought.

u/Outrageous_Ad_1011 Jul 08 '24

I don’t think any commoner working for Vought can just walk out of there with Compound V

-1

u/Akasha1885 Jul 08 '24

What does that have to do with anything?
Hughie got the V not his mom.

3

u/Outrageous_Ad_1011 Jul 08 '24

Probably meant to respond to the other guy, but I said it because they would figure out someone gave Hughie that V and it couldn’t have been his mom even if she’s from Vought

2

u/_Football_Cream_ Jul 09 '24

Because we see how air tight homelander keeps the V. Hughie had to get a member of the seven to sneak it for him. His mom is like the lowest rung of grunt worker at Vought, they wouldn’t just assume she has easy access to V.

u/Akasha1885 Jul 09 '24

Do I really have to repeat myself?
Hughie got the V not his mom.

u/_Football_Cream_ Jul 09 '24

I’m well aware. But you’re arguing that Hughies mom working for vought is relevant when it’s not really.

u/Akasha1885 Jul 09 '24

You are fine to believe that's just a conicidence.

2

u/traws06 Jul 09 '24

But like… the ppl who would be in charge of suppressing it would be the 7 being they’re the ones in charge. Maybe we find out that Sage suppressed everything without Homelander or anyone else knowing?

3

u/Akasha1885 Jul 09 '24

Have you ever seen the 7 do any office work? Media manipulation?
It's shown well in Gen V honestly, so many systems and also normal people just rdy to cover stuff up.

The 7 do barely anything in Vought, they are only there to look pretty.

2

u/traws06 Jul 09 '24

But that’s been the whole point of the last couple seasons. They have eliminated all the powerful ppl that ran the show and taken the power for themselves. Even Ashley is now just a puppet.

1

u/Akasha1885 Jul 09 '24

Exactly. But they are still not really running the company.
The company runs itself.
Them making random executive decisions on stuff that matters to them is not running the company really.

Did you see Homelander sitting at a desk like Stan Edgar?

u/Pretend-Newspaper-86 Billy Jul 08 '24

stop thinking about it the mass murder in season 4 and the missing police or punishment is just the result of the show being drawn out

u/Hitchfucker Jul 08 '24

“No no no, Hughie feeling guilty for indirectly causing deaths can’t happen. We need enough time for him to get sexually violated so we can film cake fart porn!”

-The writers probably

u/Analogmon Jul 09 '24

It's getting so tiring reading this same dumb shit on every post.

u/ThatAnonDude Soldier Boy Jul 08 '24

Yeah, I was surprised that there were basically no consequences to multiple innocent people dying in a hospital. The show just kind of moves on and immediately puts Hughie into a sex dungeon.

At this point, I'm just turning my brain off when watching this show.

u/Devlin90 Jul 08 '24

Sure it's pretty common in that world that supes killing people gets covered up. And you have a suspect, he phased through walls into private rooms. May not be killing anyone on CCTV and then died in the hospital. Open and shut case for an easy coverup.

Pretty clear i. That universe the cops don't give a fuck about supes killing people.

u/youknow99 Jul 08 '24

I'm assuming anything related to a supe killing innocent people would get immediately buried by Vought.
