To me Starlight represents people who usually don’t feel sufficiently strong to go against the all powerful but proves that a little bit of courage goes a long way. She may not be powerful enough to neutralize Soldier boy but she’s not alone, her attitude has been inspirational all season and instead of spewing hate and whining like some, she used her skills to rally people to her cause, people like Queen Maeve who are a lot stronger than her and that helped her get rid of the real danger. I also loved how Queen Maeve overcame her fear of Homelander. This season was awesome. And Starlight went from a character I could not stand to someone I’d like to be like, yeah, even if I’m a 6’4 black guy.

[@anonme_]

People either want a jacked up male version of a woman who is also sexy or a crying, whining damsel-in-distress. When toxic feminism swings the pendulum the other way, a lot of male population (not all but a lot of them) like to cry out how stupid and unrealistic things are. Starlight is a great character, because like you pointed out, she is strong in her own way. In real people terms, it's always people like Starlight who do the best they can and rally others to their cause and inspire them to do the right thing, even if it poses a chance that they'll get themselves killed in the process are the ones who make changes. Starlight's power or what she did in this moment is obviously not supposed to counter Soldier Boy by herself. If she had done that, people would have called her unrealistic and her character a token one. But now that she has done what she could in that moment, trying her level best, people want to laugh at how useless it was. I don't get it what do these people want? It's almost like they don't live in real world, among real people with different emotions and power and struggle who each takes stand for what they believe in and fight the daily fight in their own ways.

[@MaheshSharma-fo9lj]

@@anonme_ It's not about being real world, Starlight is constantly stupid throughout the whole season. First at Herogasm, she wanted to stop Soldier Boy on her own, like how stupid she can be? Soldier Boy could rip her apart like nothing. Then it is her whole "I don't need you to save me" speech to Hughie which is kinda stupid as to how in previous episodes she was scared and crying because Homelander had gone mental. She atleast should have appreaciated Hughie for helping Everyone likes Queen Maeve not because she is sexy or whatever you are assuming, she actually is powerful with combat skills. I like Starlight but she doesn't have any development in terms of power throughout the whole season, like I would have liked if they shown her training her powers and then struggling but no, there is nothing impressive to suggest that Starlight become stronger interms of power or skill. Only for that last episode, even that wasn't impressive. Starlight knocked him before without he power amp, so what's the difference when even with her amped up power she is producing the same damage? Every time some supes try to hurt Starlight or Hughie, she just do those light flickering and then either fight doesn't happen (which is most of the time) or she blast but the other supe wake up like nothing happened.

I really like The Boys, and I loved Maeve's heroism here, first going toe-to-toe with Homelander (and doing all right) and then taking Soldier Boy out of the building. But at 2:20, this scene falls into the ridiculous. Soldier Boy has just thrown off Starlight, Kimiko and MM and is building up to fire his energy blast, facing the three of them, who are just standing there like three simpletons. He's about to fire and Starlight and Kimiko, who are supes, aren't even trying to do anything about it. Both Starlight and Kimiko have superhuman strength. Pick him up and throw him through the window, do something! Try to avoid the blast! Stand behind him when he fires. Nope, they just stand there while he's aiming right at them.

[@izzyGO52]

I can see where you're coming from but Starlight is pretty drained here cuz she just did that big blast and i can't remember super well but I think the others were also super tired at this point in the fight. Also, some people freeze up when they see sth they believe to be incredibly dangerous and deadly so it's possible that happened?

[@patrickcolliano]

@@izzyGO52 first, I appreciate your thoughts. And while they are somewhat credible, I honestly think it's just bad writing. Even without access to electricity, Starlight once pushed her way through a vault door. She doesn't need power reserves to access her strength. We also know that Soldier Boy is stronger than most supes, perhaps all of them, save Homelander. If they had shown Kimiko and Starlight fighting against Soldier Boy, as he built up his charge, then Queen Maeve could have pushed her way through them and taken Soldier Boy out the window with her. Or maybe he could have restrained Kimiko and Starlight as he built up his charge. He's stronger than the two of them, even the two of them put together.

@@ryan_uwu The Boys wiki says she absorbs electricity and converts it into blasts of light. Though it's not "normal" light as it also has a kinetic impact and can be used to heat objects too. I guess that's why electronic equipment goes crazy when she's using her powers nearby.

[@Giovanni32080]

starlight power scene at the wrong moment, this better scene would be at the moment of soldier boy's almost explosion.

[@gabrielfrost9134]

Maeve proved she's a real hero.

[@adam-bf8li]

Ok in defense of Starlight, if that attack hits any other superhuman, they would probably die.

[@tuljajha]

poor girl getting demolished here, like if it was ANYONE other than SB or homelander, they would've been gone. People forgetting that soldier boy is literally durable to almost any/all damage.

I was so tired of starlight and Hughie and Frenchie and kimiko by the end of this season. I'm like NOBODY CARES GET BACK TO BUTCHER STARLIGHT AND SOLDIER BOYS STUFF

[@Male_Ficent]

Soldier Boy had plenty of time to interrupt her charge but plot happened.

[@thedarkone9552]

She can clearly harness the power of the sun now. It's only a matter of time before her power grows exponentially. She will be a powerhouse

[@JoestarJordan]

Yeah

[@Deined]

This scene once again begs the question: why couldn't Starlight power up like this with Stormfront's lightning???

[@vincent-ataramaniko]

Garbage last episode. It doesn't make sense that Soldier didn't kill Homelander. And this fight against Starlight is so cringe

Soldier boy maybe back cryo tube but hope he stills play a role in season 4

[@steelcitysteve8794]

Honestly what a teribble power lol. I thought for a secpnd we were about to see her channel the energy and do like a kamehameha instead she knocked him down for a second lol

[@csibesz07]

No way Maeve survived that.

[@refulgent_fanta]

She survived but her powers were depleted. She’s not a Supe anymore.

[@Electrifize]

In that case, that fall should've killed her​@@refulgent_fanta

i know it will because orifices are weaknesses

“No you’ll kill everyone” Yeah Starlight I don’t think soldier boy cares if he kills every one of yous, in fact I think that’s his aim

[@KNDCHV]

Conveniently Soldier Boy's power takes forever to activate.

[@Blood-zz2kt]

Yeah but when he powers it up it’s over

[@rcnelson]

The kryptonite pen is mightier than the sword.

[@Maniac742]

Why does Starlight suck? She's never won a fight on the show that wasn't against mundane losers. She got spanked by A-Train, she got spanked by Stormfront, and she got spanked by Soldier Boy. Even at the most powerful we've ever seen her, she barely knocked Soldier Boy over. She's just a big bag of uselessness. The writers really don't want her to have any impact on the show beyond complaining.

[@fj094t58qjf]

well if everyone are OP then no one is. there gotta be some weaker ones. remember theres also lamplighter and the deep

[@Maniac742]

@user-ho1ee2eh7m Starlight isn't just "not OP". She's totally useless.

[@Felix5k]

you forgot she got trashed by Black Noir as well 🤣🤣

[@ElsePerson]

Their biggest mistake was not taking out Homelander first before Soldier Boy. Homelander is much more of a threat to beat.

[@Doom2pro]

No, Homelander 2.0 is... did you see that smile?

[@ztsyib4126]

Anyone know the theme for when starlight was charging up?

I think this was simply foreshadowing. This wasn’t her true potential.

@@Hindrance1998 according to Eric kripke, starlight will learn how to use the ability to fly

But doesn't her power rely on how much electricity is within her proximity? There's no way in hell she's flying freely unless she plans on carrying generators with her as she flies lmao.

@@muphenman5094 maybe she can find a way to tap into power sources that are far from her.

[@siddhantgupta7452]

i know starlight's power are not that good and people are saying her most powerful attack did nothing to soldier boy but if you look, SB took a piece of his shield to attack Starlight. So maybe Starlight's attack disintegrated that piece of shield and that's why SB didnt take any damage from that attack.......just saying 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ cause that means that power blast was more strong than heat vision .

[@RoweMan2000]

Starlight charging we think it's gonna be something really cool and epic *BIG FART NOISE*

[@WestonDion]

The look between Annie and Maeve will always destroy me

[@michaelsuk6440]

Maeve had to put up with all of homelanders bs for a long time. He even said he’d harvest her eggs (fkn cringe) she offed herself to kill soldier boy and was very successful, unfortunately, because she was a real hero. Homelander is literally the embodiment of Lord Voldemort. He sees nothing wrong with collateral damage and sees himself on a pedestal above the rest, even superheroes. He has a twisted mind and talks down to everyone because he has the power to do so. He’s the biggest threat to the world.
