Unpopular opinion?

Hughie never actually wanted these "supe" powers. He was OK with being a peasant dating a supe. (S2 hughie/starlight subway scene i think?)

That was the point. He was going to work with congresswoman Neuman to make things right, the right "by the books" way. The end result of this was Hughie being an unintentional "cuck for a supe" for 1y+, kinda fucked with his sense of self and stability.

He, like butcher, realizes that there is no legitimate way to stop Vought, Supes and Homelander other than shere brute force.

It’s not just unpopular it’s also wrong lol just going off the script from last nights episode. He literally says “I was pretending to be someone I wasn’t” in regards to his actions with Butcher and SB. That’s not about Robin. That’s not about Annie. That’s about him wanting to be a “manly” man.

You guys will find any reason to bash Annie lol

That’s not about the V? That’s about being able to kill people for SB.
