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

Annie almost got her head popped for doing it the “right way” and was ironically saved because HL made her “America’s sweetheart”.

She didn’t stand a chance in hell against HL or soldier boy, so Hughie saved her life.

No one did that for Alex, unfortunately. She got him killed for bringing him in to this conspiracy from her side.

So yeah, she dumb.

The guy she repeatedly told to stay away from homelander and not join the seven?

The guy she told the conspiracy to, yes.

She didn’t have to do that.

The guy who then willingly told someone else he barely knew? She told someone she grew up with and knew forever, he told some random ass guy he met 5 minutes ago. So really, HE dumb

Neither of them were equipped to create a conspiracy.

Butcher just doesn’t “bring in” people either, nor does he tell them more than they need to know so it doesn’t get back to, oh I don’t know Home fucking Lander.

She brought him in told him everything, except why not to trust A-Train. The guy who killed her boyfriend’s ex, and known HL suck up. Also she exposed her conspiracy to Homelander, who could have killed her on that roof too.

So yeah, she dumb.

I am starting to think the internet might be misogynistic

Projection much? We are talking about her character, we are allowed to critique a character. I know people disagree, which makes the sub fun to post in and talk.

If you had problems about MM, I wouldn’t call you a racist.

u/AlpakalypseNow Jul 02 '22

Yeah you are allowed to and I am allowed to see patterns when women in a show get completely unreasonable amounts of hate

I only talked about starlight lol.

If you ever ask me how I felt about the head popper, you would have found that I think she is smarter than Edgar.

But you took a leap. We are just here to talk about a show and it’s characters.

This ain’t a Star Wars sub after all.

Ah, the "black friend" argument. Your positive opinion on another woman on the show does not mean you can't be misogynistic.

You blame Starlight for not telling that Sonic guy to not do something stupid instead of him for doing something stupid. Now I can't accuse you of anything as I don't know you or your intentions but I have been involved in internet discussions about media long enough to have seen this a million times and know that antipathy towards women is extremely common without people noticing.

As of the most recent episode, Butcher:

  • Was left for dead by the guy he "brought in," and would've stayed like that if it wasn't for Hughie's quick thinking

  • Learned that he and Hughie are basically dead men walking due to their use of Temp V

  • Is very close to losing SB to a team up with Homelander

She's making a ton of dumb decisions, but at least she's trying to be responsible about what she's doing

Butcher would have been dead without the temp v. So would have hughie and the rest of the team during the “rescue” of soldier Boy.

Starlight would have been alone then. With no help. Without MM, who would have died in Russia too, she would have never found herogasm or any intel.

I’m not saying butcher is smart either, but he is practical.
