Queen Maeve Origin - Broken & Immoral Version Of Wonder Woman Who Lives To Fight Her Dark Karma!

[@sierrajohnson717]

She’s honestly the character I’m most interested in, she seems to have the most “common sense” of the original seven, so seeing how the insanity of this universe beats down someone with sense/a conscience, and how they deal or dissociate from the problem is the most gripping for me

[@JustTubbyRich]

DEFINITELY the smartest and most wise.

[@redcell2852]

Yeah I agree she is the most level-headed one out of the whole group, and she actually cares as a superhero unlike homelander and the rest of the gang.

Queen Maeve in the series is probably one of the view supes in the Seven who has a moral compass and probably the most out of all them.

Yep she definitely is 💯

[@thebrownbaldy]

Hollywood can take notes from the comics to see how to write a redeeming character that's a woman. Maeve is definitely that a blueprint on how to make a complex female character without making her bland.

[@angelaholmes8888]

You are so right she's definitely a complex character

[@spideyguy3315]

[@giadalussu1922]

Honestly? They do know how to do that, is just that you can't make really make a good complex character in a single movie, so they either go for the Mary Sue trope or they focus too much on the "abusive past" without really making a character meanwhile

[@aaronalbertson8670]

Maeve is a great example of how a good character with acting chops and a good writing team can make a strong female character that everyone can get behind and root for. And aside from Maeve, there are a few gender swapped characters in the show from the comics and no one cares because the characters are written and acted so well. Other show/film runners should take notes.

[@nissan_skyline]

I didn't know Maeve is an Irish name. That's awesome because Dominique McElligott is also Irish. This is a great overview!

Maeve in comics was sexually assaulted by homelander and black noir. Thats why she's completely broken in the comics

[@RyunosukeHachi]

In the comics, 9/11 resulted with the destruction of the Brooklyn Bridge. Only one plane crashed, the others were shot down. And the Legend was the only one who actually cared about Queen Maeve, and I’d like to think that she held some affection for him.

[@crystalshaw8744]

I have gotten sooo addicted to this show. I know I'm late but I don't care.

[@hiruharada2650]

Maeve is 100% my all time favorite portrayal of a non-hetero character. She was immediately exploited by the media, and Vaught. When they showed her the picture of her holding a rainbow flag, the eye-rolling in her expression was felt throughout her whole body. Absolutely an accurate portrayal of what happens in real life. "Fuck off and leave me alone, it's my life, not yours," is exactly the way normal people feel when they're treated this way. Seeing people exploit themselves willingly is like watching someone get bukaked in public, in front of everyone. It's why I don't want to talk about my past relationships, or whether or not I'm currently in one.

[@DSan-kl2yc]

that's not accurate. They've literally been as well written as the guys since the golden age. THey weren't respected by movie studios, not comics. They didn't think a female movie hero could do well. And when they tried it, it was catwoman. I'll give them credit for trying it periodically. Even black widow didn't do well. Captain marvel did though, and WW. I'd say credit goes to WW since she's the first to have a successful one that I can think of right now.

[@trueblueedits4673]

I'm very interested in the dynamic between Queen Maeve and Starlight because it has a lot of potential for nuanced discussion. If Maeve is Wonder Woman then Starlight is also Wonder Woman but an uncorrupted version, a foil to Maeve's corrupted version. Or Starlight could be a Donna Troy (or just Wonder Girl really) analog: Wonder Woman's successor. The latter is particularly interesting because the "successor's" mentor figure is corrupted yet they still managed to see the good and is actively bringing that good back out. It's an interesting inversion where the mentor becomes the student and the student the mentor. This is only really in the show though. The Boys comic is, not sugar-coating this, kind of mediocre at best because it's just a dark satire and doesn't do too much commentary while the show does everything it does just that much better.
