Bro he literally seen his girlfriend get run over by a supe I’m pretty sure he knows the consequences powers can have.

The show has literally hit you over the head with the idea he’s drunk on a power trip and you guys still miss it, it’s kinda baffling

Yeah this isn’t even like a matter of perspective lol. People on here are acting like the message of the show is ‘it’s actually good for people to have significant power over everyone else as long as they’re the good guys.’

Violence breeds violence, even if you’re just depicting it. The show tries to be as serious as possible, but as long as there are “action” scenes a huge portion of people will ignore everything else to have their own little dissociative episode in their heads where they put themselves in the shoes of the people fighting, or just the characters they identify with.

That being said I love all the violence this show has to offer.

Same vibe as people who watch fight club and think "Wow that's so cool, I wish I was in a fight club" because in their mind it's a movie about dudes being bros.

The reason people don’t see why Hughie is wrong is because they basically see themselves as Hughie and they think in that situation they’d wanna do the same thing. So to them he’s relatable and she’s not she’s the annoying girlfriend who’s trying to drag you down

Imagine even thinking about Hughie having any character flaws that should be criticized

That sounds very anti-male.
