"Real power... isn't this (gestures hand pushing). Real power is the ability to bend the world to your will" Stan Edgar
Agency.... and she has it
Homelander made a mistake picking Sage to join the Seven.
Seems to work in his favor don’t see what the mistake is, honestly i don’t think she’s going to betray Homelander because it’s clear she hates humanity just as much as he does
@@DamXOien3902agreed homelander could kill her with the flick of a wrist. The reason they make such a good team is due to him being maximum brawn and her maximum brains 🧠
@@DamXOien3902If sister sage truly is the most intelligent mind in their universe then she understands that homelander being in charge isnt good for anyone
@@JEvans-wy9lnLike Alfred said in The Dark Knight “Some people just want to watch the world burn”
@@JEvans-wy9ln I’m sure she knows that but she simply just doesn’t care
Sister Sage is gonna make her own Kryptonite to defeat Homelander.
I'm going to guess, you commented this before you even finish the video.
Atleast you're not one of those "first" Infants
@@kaisteminoyikes, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed
@@byefloyd Do you even know what that means?
@@kaistemino he doesnt
i think she'll just keep using him to push her narrative and story
i feel like a lot of people are underestimating her because she's all brains
Wait she doesn't have superhuman everything like the other supes? Same question for Firecracker too. Since she ran away in that fight earlier in the season.
@@markstriker925 no i don't believe sage is super durable like a lot of other supes the only thing that we know is that her brain can regenerate and she can die if her heart stops and i believe firecracker does have durability because she fought kimiko
I think for the most part supes that have mind or psychic related abilities are typically like regular humans with their bodies. It may be to create a balance. Can't imagine someone like Maeve having the ability to punch a hole through someone and melt their mind
You do realise how easy she is to take down right?
MM could have ended it.
Only her brain regenerates
Most supes are bullet proof but she got shot by a handgun and went splat. So yeah..
She's as smart as Homelander is strong but with an even scarier motivation. Homelander wants to be loved and respected, he craves validation. She's just bored. You can't manipulate or threaten her. She most likely won't care if you try to reason with her. She can get whatever she wants by playing others
@Casual-Yohoho-Enjoyer we need more villains like Sage, they add variety to the current villain trope landscape
What happens when she runs out of things?
She can manipulate the masses. She understands humans and how easy they are to trick
Yes. It's even more sociopathic
She wants to take over the world just to see if she can. This is just a little game for her, a fun challenge to check off her list
As a black woman, I’m finally satisfied with this particular representation of us. I’m tired of us being this mammy character or some spiritual sidekick. Her literally toying w the most scariest man alive & outthinking everyone is a refreshing take. I love it and can’t wait to see more of her.
Yes!
Sammmmme. They better not drop the ball with her in Season 5.
I always don't fully think she's actually on his side I think she's planning Homelander downfall by giving him all this power.
See I think she knows Homelander is his own biggest weakness and enemy and he's going to want more and more and that's going to lead to his downfall.
Homelanders playing checkers, Sister sage is playing chess
@michaelholland1936 she’s definitely not on the boys side though. She is just playing her own game and wants to screw everybody over and see the world burn.
Honestly I think what She doing is smart because homelander is unpredictable person even if you are the most loyal to him he will still kill you and I think she knows that
Sage smiled when Homelander compared himself to Caesar, and Caesar was assassinated.
@@KingOfMadCows the most intelligent people are the ones you should be afraid of I mean sure she might not be strong for physical as homelander but her intelligence is what makes her terrifying
it's scary that if she truly wanted to, she could take out homelander. Regular scientists technically found a way to take him out, granted it would cause a genocide. But she could probably perfect to only kill him, take away his powers, or give someone else enough power to hurt him.
Probably finds their universes version of Molecule Man and makes a V based futuristic weapon since her iq is aprox. In the Thousands
Homelander is a *sociopath*: he's impulsive, short-tempered, and aggressive yet spontaneous. He strive for power but doesn't really plan how to take it, he just grabs it whenever he can. He also genuinely doesn't care about other people's feelings or thoughts; Sage is a *psycopath*: she shares the same lack of regard towards others, doing things for her own personal gain always, but she is cunning and calculating. She plans every single little move she makes, always hashing out each and every minute detail. She is patient yet eager to strike whenever her plan dictates.
Homelander may be a nuke but sister sage is the only one who can control where and when he explodes
I completely agree.. she’s like the joker in Batman except she maintains the illusion of sanity.
Shes every bit as homicidal and psychotic as homelander but just makes other people do her dirty work and that’s scary
There is one major point that is often slept on. Homelander stopped listening to Sage and threw her away, but she completed her plan and gave him what he wanted anyway. By doing that, she played on his biggest fear (abandonment) and made sure he'll depend on her from now on meaning he'll never question her again. If Homelander controls the world and Sage controls Homelander, then Sage controls the world 🌎
I would not be surprised if sister sage was hiding another power we did not hear of yet. She’s the type of character that could tell you everything but leave one important detail that changes an entire story which is why she is so good at manipulation. She would give you a way to see a con but then that one was a decoy for the true trick all along which is what the best con artists do.
Maybe she can see the future or different outcomes
When firecracker said “you think im poor white trash” and sage responded with “i dont think your poor” i diedddd😂😂😂
She is Homelander's Lex Luthor.
No that is james stillwell
@OdysseySarma She's literally based on Lex Luthor (and Ozymandias), though.
@@aria4830Lex is a white man so he is automatically better.
I am NOT joking
@@newhybrid101 👁️👄👁️
@@newhybrid101Based
I seriously think she's the only person who knows how to kill Homelander, i think she knew from the first time she met him but she's just using him right now for her own plans
Having her brains and HL strength is a deadly combo. No way The Boys can beat that combo without extreme levels of plot armor. So that's why I think it's good that Butcher got Venom powers. Because it makes it more balance.
have u seen the animated diabolical show? i think his powers are similar to Sun-Hee's in episode 7
@@allycsram I have only seen clips of that particular episode on TH-cam. And yeah abilities does seem like it's based on that episode.
@@markstriker925 well i say that because they have the same condition and they both seem parasitic and Kripke said it was a canon episode so to me he was just setting the seeds for the condition
Honestly think HL is cooked if butcher 1v1s him at this point
@@allycsram I just dont get tho how and why Butcher's powers developed so late and not immediately after he took Compound V?
So, the only time we’ve ever seen her have genuine emotions are the moment of surprise when she met homelander, and the scene where she’s happily celebrating the successful takeover.
And maybe the ice skating practice massacre?
I don't think she could've faked that shockes face,it kinda caught her off guard
her character perfectly depicts the differrence between power and agency in terms of writing. she may not be as powerful as the rest of the seven, but she has the highest level of agency due to her cognitive abilities, which makes her character so impactful and terrifying. i reccomend you watching the video from savage books regarding dichotomy of power and agency in writing. he compares these concepts based on examples of homelander and stan edgar
@enjoyjustida9629 I want Sage vs Stan Edgar next season
Very interesting distinction and I agree. She has true freedom and agency. But needs power hence her whole use of the seven and homelander to achieve her want in his goals anyway
Am I the only one that thinks Sage's suit looks like a Gucci Suit? I mean look at the, "S." monogram pattern on her suit???
Ooooh, it sure really looks like it
The colours kill it for me. I LOVE gold but between the overall design and colour pallet it gives me insect vibes.
How much you want to bet getting kicked out of the seven was part of her plan
More likely, being part of The Seven was irrelevant to her plans. She said herself, she didn't want to be there. It probably was an inconvenient situation to plan around.
Either she didn't directly plan it and it was one of the setbacks of working with homelander as she was referring to
Or she used Firecracker as a puppet to strengthen her allyship with Homelander, once Homelander realized what a mistake he'd made kicking Sage out of the Seven then he'd be undoubtedly dependant on her and her judgement
It was. She literally said that in the finale
If she's so smart she's definitely gonna be Lex Luthor or Brainiac
Exactly
I think the author of this video forgot to notice or take into account the part where Black Noir confirmed that she didn’t lobotomise herself with him.
to be fair, the deep has giant gills on his stomach which is kind of gross
@@dumblockdubbed2455he is also massively insufferable
I like how she calls Homelander "Blond ambition" 😂
80% certain that the only reason the boys are alive are for sage to use as a fighting force against home lander
I like the idea of Sage. The writers just don’t know how to write smart characters
Why do you think that
How would you write Sage? Please respond.
_This._ I read a comment that somebody left (on a different video) that the problem with "smart"/genius intellect characters is that they are "only" as smart as the writers who write them. Otherwise they just come off as a badly written deus ex machina._
@@Rose_Bride honestly you kinda just took the words out of my mouth. A good way to remedy that would’ve been to show seeds of her plan coming together. Subtle, but apparent enough that on rewatch, you can instantly see what she is trying to do. But when you rewatch this season it kinda just seems that sage could just see the future, since it lacks the necessary build up. She’s also afforded too many chances, a super genius level character can have some moments where they were thwarted, but ultimately they must still be in control. There was a few too many times where sage should’ve lost almost Everything . But she doesn’t
@@ammonite0257 but for example, she *did* have a plan to get rid of Victoria. She had the shape shifter steal the dirt on Victoria, which means she could have had Victoria impeached anytime she wanted. Furthermore, she would have had Cindy kill Singer by popping his head, framing Victoria as the killer, killing two birds with one stone.
There is maybe another reason Homelander wants Sage. Possibly he wants her to make an improved version of the V to help stop the aging process.
She is extremely terrifying and complex. Shit I’m actually working on a video similar to this but more detailed. The realistic horror of sage is the same fear you get when learning Ozymandias already won.
She’s resentful and bored. That’s the reason how and why she wants to tear down human society and create a supe fascist one. And at the end of the day. Homelanders fear isn’t that overwhelming like that.
Also she’s underrated af in this verse. Glad this was made.
I really liked that first rally riot scheme how it started confusing like where is she going with this then it clicks into place, but then the season never really did that again. She takes credit in the end but I wish they would have set it up by showing her do seemingly random things that converge in the end into some Rube Goldberg series of events leading up the ending. Would have been harder to write but as long as they knew where they were going to go they can go backwards from there and make it make sense. It’s like the number one criticism of the Nolan Joker is his ability to master manipulate all the events stretches the suspension of disbelief just a bit too far but this character had all the potential to go that far and then some cause we accept that her super power is to be impossibly smart. I hope they do more in season 5 cause so far I like the character but feels like wasted potential thus far. I like the idea of her more then the execution at this point
That's true. I feel like even if the did like a 5 minute montage typa thing where they showed her behind the scenes pulling strings here and there to cause a cascading effect it would've reminded us how far ahead she always wS
that's not entirely true.
She really did plan out the last parts of phase 1.
She didn't know Victoria was gonna die, but that wasn't necessary for her plan. She had the shape shifter steal the dirt on Victoria and she could have leaked it anytime she wanted, getting Victoria impeached and out of office. Furthermore, she could have had Cindy kill Singer the exact same way Victoria would kill him, framing her.
Victoria dying wasn't part of her plan, it was the reason she had to improvise.
chat, does anyone else think it'd be funny if Sage is just narcissistic with crazy luck and not super smart 😭 like she just thinks her power is her smarts, but she's just making shit up and it works out. it's so dumb that to me, it'd be a funny reveal even though it's definitely not her ability
She’s just an edgy version of Dominos 😂
Reminds me of the grasshopper curse from jjk
unironically that'd be the perfect twist
Sorta like Usopp
The trouble with that is that half the fanbase is already looking for ways to discredit her achievements.
To say they're all "luck" at this point is little more than an insult.
when homelander theme played but he was not tweaking
You know a character is smart when they sound like they’re reading the script.
A character seems smart when the audience and show runners don't know what "smart" means
Thats when you know a supposedly smart character is just badly written
Lemme guess didn’t pay attention to her character
@@lesliethomas9532 what character? She's racist and has plot armor. That's about ir
@@Iianator how is she racist?
14:25 BLACK NOIR CAN FLYYY
Yea the new noir can
Sage is the most interested character in the show. Shes so unpredictable and seeing her manipulate everyone around her was so fun to watch
Sister Sage is a get-out-of-jail-free, writing gizmo. It doesn't matter how badly a writer screws up, he/she can always say - "It was all a part of Sister Sage's master plan." LOL! Take it from someone who knows.
I love Sage of villain I hope they don’t secretly make her a good guy. I want to see how the boys stop a villain that is intelligent and has actual brains
Also, I wonder if she planned for Ashley to take V just so Ashley would get hit by the virus if butcher goes full Kessler and releases it on the world
I also wonder what state will have planned for starlight now that starlight escaped Cindy
So, Sage calling Ashley a capybara. My first thought was it was to get back at her. Then it also doubles to secure Deep's loyalty. But then now... I guess Sage really does believe that...???
Probably all three
Homelander: powerful sociopath who is an unpredictable ticking timebomb at all times.
Sage: an insanely intelligent, unpredictable psychopath who is there 'for the plot'.
I love Sage and when we see those little flashes of manic insanity ( her true personality imo ) it makes me happy.
She's need to be in the lab... Perfecting Compound V.... Combating the virus... Making a hoverboard, enhancing her own powers etc, etc.....
Filling plot holes with "intelligence" is lazy writing
The actress who plays Sage is so beautiful
Sister sage and Homelander are both NARCISSISTS. He’s an overt and she’s a covert. Like all narcissists, they “rule” by manipulation. Homelander uses FEAR to manipulate and Sage uses words to manipulate. Together in the same room, narcs tolerate each other until the other’s usefulness comes to an end. Homelander believes he’s superior to Sage because he can kill her in an instant, while Sage, like all covert narcs, demonstrates her superiority by using words to pull on individual fears, inadequacies, hopes and dreams to manipulate them on a path SHE wants -even overt narcs. However, as a narc, she HAS to give them a clue they’re being manipulated by her whether they realize it or not, hence how she gets firecracker beaten by starlight, feigns girl solidarity to Victoria, knowing she’s going to fed her to slaughter and tells Homelander that the plan was all for “Ryan”. It’s no fun to narcs if their victims don’t know who’s behind the manipulation. Of course Homelander and Sage have end games for each other. It only depends on who strikes first and if their is mutual destruction
The problem with creating characters that are supposedly more intelligent than the author, is that in the end they are only as intelligent as the authors best thinking and that’s being generous.
Sage is so intelligent, she knew you'd make this video. No idea how but she just knew.
Nah, her saying she planned everything is just a giant plot hole. She had no way of knowing Butcher would kill Victoria. Just lazy writing.
She basically accomplished nothing of significance in the whole season. The writers TELL us that she's smart as hell, but from what we've seen, literally Hughie is smarter
Sage to me isn’t a well-written smart character. If she is quite literally 8000x smarter than the average human she wouldn't have done the stuff she did for example telling someone if you shot her in the heart she would die. To me, she's one of those “it's all according to plan” character, being some omnipotent, all-knowing god.
Why does everyone confuse intelligence with wisdom? Why would being the smartest person alive mean you’re not able to make mistakes in regards to small aspects in life and let’s be real. This isn’t a massive blunder at all.
It’s like saying Einstein would never fall for a trick or reveal small personal info about himself to anyone since it’s not smart. Like idk just don’t understand the perspective.
Fr
When major events occur and you have no idea how this happened…but you wanna seem clever.
A character I think she shares some striking similarities with is Danganronpa's Junko Enoshima
Both are extreme geniuses
Both's biggest flaw to said genius is their depression-like boredom of everyone and everything which is caused by their intellect
Both mess with their brains to become more innocent versions of themselves who can actually regulate and express emotion properly ( referring to Ryoko in Junko's case )
Both have a massive, worldwide plot in the works ( Sage hasn't shown anything specific but it's clear she's cooking up something )
Both's motives, while not identically the same, are similar because of the fact that they do these evil things to stimulate their brains and gain some sort of mental pleasure
To add on to what you were saying a person like sage can ruin your life just out of spite if she is determined enough.
Like that one episode of the last season of atlanta were earn ruined a womans life for not letting him on a flight or something like that and at the end of the episode he says "Maybe i should go back to therapy. "
Did she calculate getting shot in the head and acting like a 2 yr old during one of the most pivotal moments in s4? A lot of the things falling her way were sheer luck
Certainly she can plan ahead of time😮 and she was clearly enticing mother's milk to intentionally shoot her😮
So I'm going to say yes😂
IMO, Sister Sage, Butcher/Ryan and HL/Ryan are the only storylines that are interesting right now. I’m curious about Starlight flying, Ashley, A-Train and Soldier Boy interactions in the last season but the rest of the Boys I could care less.
@Jairan78 currently the characters Im most interested in are: Butcher, Homelander, Sage, Sam riordan, Cate dunlap, Soldier Boy, Cindy
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 Yea, I didn’t mention Gen V; but I want to know what’s gonna happen with them. Cindy as well. But “The Boyz” are boring me. Kimiko, Frenchy, MM and his family. Don’t care…..
Sague is badly written , its almost like she can see the future instead of having amazing intelligence , there are many points im her plant that require luck.
That's the thing about Super Intelligent people in comics: They are (or can be) exactly the thing that people fear about Artificial Intelligence: So Intelligent that they have absolutely no empathy for anyone else, and can 'Foundation' the planet (use their intelligence to predict how people may react to different influences years/decades/centuries into the future, and began manipulating mankind to produce whatever outcome they want).
tbf, i didnt understood the whole thing with sister sage, everyone is saying like the plot was amazing and she ate but i kinda saw that coming, so idk whats so special about it. It wasn't a big plottwist and idk what she really did to amaze people... i feel like people get too easily amazed by stuff and aswell, she knew that a-train was the mole and yet she still let other people get killed... so it doesn't really make sense to me
Every plan Sage makes is a Xanatos Gambit, it doesn't matter if that plan succeeds, or fails, the outcome will in some way, benefit her. That's why she's terrifying, because even when she loses... she still wins a little.
I didn’t watch the video but no one mentions how she never really flinches she’s so calm that’s terrifying
The main reason that I think most people have issues saying that Sage is the smartest person is because Homelander wants that to be him, and he's dumb enough to kill people who disagree with him.
ngl, Sister Sage just has that kind of "All according to plan" writing.
I think you're wrong about that.
Getting rid of Victoria Neuman *was* part of her plan. She had the Shape Shifter steal the dirt on her from The Boys so that she could release it, when she wants to. She would have had Neuman impeached (for being a supe and a killer) and, after killing Singer (maybe, with Cindy or talking Victoria into doing it, after all she trusted Sage) framing(/revealing) Neuman for Singers murder.
Furthermore, her plan was actually quite simple and easy to piece together, at least viewed from a birds eye perspective: 1) Make someone the president, Vought / Homelander controls, meaning in particular she has to get rid of the presidential candidates she can't control.
2) Rile up the public against Starlight and people critical of supes abuses of power, so that the public won't be to critical when they make america more authotarian( for their control) in the name of stopping said public "enemies".
I think they shoul have gone for a more "show don't tell" approach with her plan, but in of itself it seemed pretty logically and realistically written to me.
Sage has done nothing, things happen naturally and she goes "hehehehe, that was actually part of my plan"
Stop hatin man. If she was a white woman you guys wouldn't even be complaining.
Okay, so watch the season again but this time at 0.2 speed and this time don’t be afraid to pause it when something happens that you don’t instantly understand. I know media literacy is hard but it’s not *that* hard.
@@doesitcomeinyellow3663it really is media literacy when you listen to the so called “terrible lazy writing” like Jesus Christ feels like half the viewers of this show had their eyes closed.
@@doesitcomeinyellow3663 What did she do exactly? Atrain would've become the leak and would've eventually been caught, even if she wasn't around and she had absolutely no influence on what happened to neuman, which was the reason Homelander won.
@@Yoosech9712 Homelander, like he usually does, messed everything up for the sake of his own ego, which as stated in the final episode, she anticipated. She was the one who had the spy recording the president elect to frame him for nuemans murder. She was the one who came up with the plan to bash those men’s heads in, start a riot, and then place their bodies at the scene. She knew Atrian was the leak before Atrian even became the leak because a lot of her power works off probability and forethought, and Atrain had already had past grievances with the 7 and with Homelander in particular, where as Noir, Deep, Ashley, and Firecracker still respected and or heavily feared him to an unmovable degree; not to mention the racism likely specifically reserved for Atrian in an environment like that. She already knew homelander was gonna lash out and kick her out of the 7 because she didn’t want to be in it in the first place because she wanted to execute her plan quietly. So while ALSO smearing Starlight’s name, she purposely made bad blood with firecracker because she knew with her undying loyalty and need to be Homelander’s center of attention she’d eventually “backstab her” to get her kicked out. She only feigned annoyance because she had to make it believable, or else Homelander would’ve likely tried to interfere in some other way. She knew the boys were gonna take out Nueman one way or another, especially after seeing them at the Tek knight party. I could literally sit here and list to you every single thing she did that resulted in the outcome of this season. But as anyone who’s passed the fourth grade should know, inferring from past events and using context clues is a much more effective way of telling an interesting story rather than info dumping every time a part of her plan falls into place. What makes Sage and The Boys as a whole special is that it respects its viewers to be smart enough to not need their handheld when it comes to storytelling. This is why media literacy and narrative comprehension is so important. That way you’d know that just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it’s bad.
I’m calling it now that something will happen to Sage bc they were giving her notebook a weird amount of screen time. She might go missing or get killed and then everyone will be gunning for her notebook.
I think being the smartest person ever aint that impressing considering how "smart" everyone else is
Useless
I'm writing this here today (August 2024) because I have an hypothesis about Sage, and I want to come here after the end of the 5th season to see if I am (was?) correct. Here is it:
I think Sage...
1) ...already knows about Homelander's "addiction" to milk.
2) ...gave this knowledge to Firecracker. She also gave her the meds that makes her lactate.
3) ...with the goal of establishing a vector to slowly poison Homelander THROUGH Firecracker's milk. The key here is SLOWLY.
4) ...the process probably already begun, and Firecracker's coughing and bad health appearance are the symptoms of the poison in her body. I think these symptoms will go away in season 5 (Firecracker's body will get used to the meds, as they were designed to do this), and everyone will forget her symptoms. Firecracker won't get weak or die, because the poison just becomes "Supe-affecting" AFTER her body processes it into becoming milk, thus weakening Homelander without him noticing it.
5) ...and here we get why Sage does it: as a contigency plan to kill or weaken Homelander if/when needed. And here is how I think it will happen:
6) ...near the season ending, Homelander will appear to be nonstoppable as always, but he FINALLY will get a punch from another Supe or some impact from something natural (such as a collapsing building) and will actually feel it. He will be weaker and won't know why. He will notice he is now at the same Power Scale of other Supes.
7) ...then, the last seed of Sage's plan will come to fruition: the Boys will "discover" (probably from info she leaked to them, or outright gave them, or alternatively she simply predicted they would "have the great idea") of getting the Supe-Killing-Virus into a version to be injected into FIRECRACKER, so she feeds it to Homelander THROUGH HER MILK. And thus, the virus will finally be able to make him weak enough for a fair fight with Butcher, and/or to outright kill him. Probably both will be without powers, as Butcher will deny the SuperCancer to redeem himself at the end of his character arc.
Well... we'll have to wait a "little" to know if I got anything right... See ya in the future!
I do think she actually wanted a costume and used reverse psychology to get one.
I figured they were leading us to her becoming a real super villain. Maybe with Ashley or whatever she becomes as her minion.
Intelligence is what brought us Homelander after all
well made video. keep up the good work
I don't know how to feel about sage, cause everything was fine but the twist of 'it was all part of the plan' is so boring and lazy that I feel like I lost a lot of interest in the character
There is no way she predicted MMs was going to shoot her in the head and not in her heart or elsewhere
I wonder what Sage’s inevitable flaw will be - my theory for a bit was she was planning some bucket list long trip round before her demise- whether planned or an unavoidable deadly illness she somehow acquired but now I’m thinking she’s got a lot to do and definitely NOT planning on exiting this Earthly plane any time soon
I love sage but they dumbed down homelander just a bit they have showed him to be quite clever
well, i never saw him ss necessarily clever, just as a someone who knows how to intimidate people with his powers and the threat of violence
Since season 1 i have thought of the Homelander as a quite stupid character... firstly when he killed the jet with the guvnor, then, when he leaked the V formula... after that, he tried to stop the rally against him making it worse, then he tried to intimidate Edgar, and after that he even sided with Stormfront after she came out as a Nazi. In S3, he decided the best PR strategy was to just pretend that wasnt a video of soldier boy. he went HIMSELF to herogasm to fight SB there.
the instances where we see him ss smart ... i can be explained away...
I don't think they dumbed him down. He's an impulsive narcissist who thinks he's smart but struggles with thinking ahead. His plans mostly rely on intimidating the people he thinks should be intimidated, something he is to his credit pretty good at
@@Casual-Yohoho-Enjoyer well, its like stillwell from the comics says "so much power, and what have you done with it that the lowest spec of dust from this planet wouldn't do if it also gained your powers?"
he is not smart, he is not clever he is not worthy of these labels. hes just ... bad product.
Homelander was never smart 😂
Just ran across this channel and it’s the first one that I came across that talks about this show in a way that makes you feel like your with your boys
Hopefully you keep going👊🏾
She never planned or excepted to get shot in the head. She could account for even thing else but that one thing. She never saw that coming!
The thing that imo ultimately makes sage scarier than homelander is that even if you somehow manage to get rid of her she might still beat you and she won't even flinch cause she has no emotional motivation it's all just a real life game theory game for her and she just wants to win to prove to herself she can
She's impressive for sure, but reveling to Homelander that she manipulated him seems risky. Season 4 hasn't been a good season for those who have and even those who may leverage(d) any measure of control over Homelander. It's kinda like a duck teamed up with a duck hunter. The duck may find some sadistic thrill helping the hunter, but what happens when that duck is the last duck? Does the duck hunter suddenly stop killing ducks, or does the hunter finish the job?
1:12 I think she wants to see if she can destroy everything that hurt her. Also because they said she couldn’t.
i felt Homelander proved himself to be pretty clever in season 3
@LoveyDovyy that didn’t carry over into season three
Homelander is very smart. Not as smart as Neuman or definitely Sage but he’s also just very mentally unstable. I think he’s proven that he’s not of average intelligence though.
Just shows up at the end and is like yeah i planned all this haha, shit writing
Things would've gone exactly as they did if she wasn't around
@@Yoosech9712 Just say you didnt watch the season.
@@Claritism Tell me all the important things she did, she just takes credit for stuff that would've happened, even if she wasn't around
When did the media literacy get so damn bad with this show oh my god. Gonna need ppl to recap the show with every event right in your face at this point.
Literally starts a riot. Emboldens the masses directly to be for homelander
Secured prison contracts and has the boys in the right places to be blamed or associated with as major enemies media wise (the cia was the only thing protecting them)
Knew Neuman wasn’t long for this earth or at the very least wasn’t useful to be.
I can go on. And I’m being brief here.
She reminds me so much of Kirari Ikishima from kakegurui. She literally did this out of amusement.
Even thoni like sage I legit feel like she should be THE Evil Batman, or just straight up ruthless lex or something
That's not how intelligence works.
Sage gon fuck shit up and im here for it
I feel she has a plan to take down homelander ,completely take over the 7 and vought, we're seeing the plan in play. I could be completely wrong though.
maybe the boys season five ends with sister sage laughing with homelander dead and she figured out a way to reverse the virus. (doubt it though)
Cassandra Nova seems similar in terms of being sadistic and wanting to matter
Sister sages power is just ocd cranked to the max
Your format is completely fine! Keep it up!
You did her dirty with that thumbnail
Sage looks like a racist cartoon character from the 50’s in the thumbnail 😭
Nah more like she injecter 4 litters of testosterone
Sister sage could refine the compound v with her knowledge and easily build a weapon against homeland, she has anticipated his every move and is still alive. I think she's actually the most dangerous than the others.
She's going to take down homelander in season 5 guaranteed
You said she's got no powers other than being super smart but she's got a healing factor, her brain's regenerated countless times after giving herself lobotomies and she was shot in the head by MM only to be up and about in the same episode like nothing happened.
I never thought how powerful she truly is, amazing video bro keep up the good content. easiest sub ever dude, love this video!!
Too be honest you don’t gotta be a genius to figure out what these nimrods gonna do next lol
Y'all, I'm still recovering from the fact is that the actress is 41 years old.😭
Sister Sage is not SMART.....she just read the Script
Facts!
We have the supe killing virus and the Flight video... I wonder what Sage would do about that to help (or take out) Homelander
I don't think sister sage necessarily predicted everything. I think she just had a boatload of continjusties
It’s crazy, because the human brain is what sets us apart from other animals.
