We all know that Godolkin is going after that bee lady and the butterfly lady first 💀
I confess - making the protagonists college-age kids makes it a lot easier to believe they can make such frustrating decisions where they only trust their own judgment. Especially in the elevated emotional pressure cooker of Godolkin University.
Marie doing all the opposite that Starlight ask her for at the begginin' 😂
Cipher/godolkin really got into Marie’s head. She put herself on a higher pedestal than everyone else and scolded Kate for being manipulative and hurting her friends when she did the same exact thing. They’ve done a good job of making Marie slightly unlikeable
I love how the fight between Polarity and Cipher was like Professor X vs Magneto
I'm even more irritated now that I realize that Godolkin is probably the only supe that could probably control or neutralize Homelander but he wont because he's the top of the evolutionary chain 😮💨
OHHH, so that's why "Cipher" doesn't have any Compound V in his blood stream. He was a puppet the whole time. That's scary.
Marie is doing the exact thing Cate did last season while she continues to scald cate for her actions. I had no sympathy for cate when she lost her powers but I gained a lot of respect for her telling Marie she wouldn’t control them even to get her powers back
like in every episode: i fuckin' love Emma 😂🫶🏻
36:13 also the fact that cates powers manifested when she told her little brother to go away. Just for Marie to ask cate to make their friends go away probably played a big factor in cate saying no.
