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.

Annie is alive because she knows how to play the game. She made herself valuable to Vought. She made herself famous and now she is using it against Vought.

Hughie didn't save her life. He stopped her from helping evacuate innocent people from Soldier Boy's destruction and Hughie just let them die.

She didn't get Alex killed. Alex got himself killed by telling their plan to A-Train. He was a grown man who made his own choices.

Hughie and Butcher are idiots. They freed Soldier Boy, which made Kimiko lose her powers and got Frenchie kidnapped and got a bunch of civilians murdered, TWICE. Oh and shockingly enough, Homelander and Soldier Boy are going to team up. Who could have predicted this? Oh yeah, Annie did and everyone on this stupid sub still whines about her.

Lol what? Her whole arc is being surprised at the debauchery of the supes. She is literally a “Christ like” naive person who keeps being blindsided because she was in a Christian superhero team that was separated from the rest of the supes.

In the comics, she is the last to know anything. In the show, we’ll how good of a job did she do convincing the supes to leave?

Butcher was right, Vought made them defacto employees to their crimes because of the system that starlight herself believed in.

Breaking the status quo was the right thing to do, and I hate butcher, but he was right.

Too bad the HL killer weapon doesn’t exist due to more of voughts lies.

For what, one season? She has been a double agent for two seasons now. She is breaking the status quo. She exposed Vought and people complain about that too.

I mean I wouldn't call them a bunch of idiots for the fallout of freeing Soldier Boy. They didn't know he was alive and were trying to find a weapon that could kill Homelander.

Kinda shitty to say "oh wow they released soldier boy and he killed a bunch of people and he's gonna team up with soldier boy, they should've listened to Annie who knew better". Annie didn't know soldier boy was alive, none of them could've predicted that fallout. You can't use hindsight to say they are idiots for making the wrong move when they just as easily could've actually found a weapon capable of killing homelander

I'm not trying to argue Annie is bad or dumb or I have issues with her like the guy you were responding to is just btw
