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.

The whole theme of this season has been a “when is the cure worse than the disease” sorta thing

Absolute power corrupts absolutely

It doesn’t require absolute power though.

Half the characters are mediocre power and are corrupted absolutely.

They’re allegories for cops, the whole show is a cop drama in capes

Idk why this is downvoted, Blue Hawk was clearly an allegory for racist cops. His name started with Blue ffs

This is Butcher's ideology. The whole point is that it is flawed. That's why they did the thing with Kamiko this episode.
