what do you think is going to happen to Firecracker? Will she make it to the end of the season? Let me know your thoughts below!
No she's not going to make it. I believe annie or Hughey will kill her
I dont know if she is going to make it to the end of the season but she will get some sort of revenge on Starlight. If that doesn t happen her character really has no purpose.
Makes the black noir please!
Firecracker committed multiple felonies when she put Starlight's medical records on TV. That may be part of Sage's plans, as well. I can't imagine Sage and Firecracker getting along for longer than Sage wants to use her.
@@nebuloushammer8773 I dont think so, Homelander just got of court and he killed a guy. Firecracker on trial sounds like a boring subplot.
I'm like 50% sure Sage is planning to have Firecracker martyred for the cause at some point
Up that to 99 my guy
Yeah it feels like that could happen!
She's the easiest to manipulate. Definitely will die for politics.
and will put the blame on Starlight
lol so 50/50? Wow way to go on the ledge guy
Firecracker is essentially that bullied kid that became the asshole to hide her insecurities and yeah see will die and the end of the season if not by annie and hughey than by homelander and sage
What’s wrong with that
Annie wont do it cuz she already phucked up things with her impulssive reaction, but I think that homleander and sage the may kill her to turn her into a martyr, and annie is more an asshole becasue she did a lot of wrong in the past but she's acting like she's the goodie
@@UndefeatedDeathDebunkedYou you mean whats wrong with being an asshole ?
No new characters lasts long in this show
Sage has been setting up firecrackers death from the beginning
she is 100% sage’s tool/weapon
She is. But at least Valorie Curry is a good actress and she having fun with the material.
@@ghostrouxinol6169 oh for sure, what i said doesn’t suggest otherwise! i think she’s great
@@filmbrat1 I wasn't saying the other wise. I think media is using the lesbian actress plays MAGA Parody. She is another good actress in amazing cast of actors.
@@ghostrouxinol6169 I hate her chararcter, that's how you realise she's a good actor 😂😂
Pretty sure she didn't fight starlight to show everyone how violent starlight is. Also by appearing weaker it makes her fans love her more
I dunno, I feel like Sister Sage knew how Starlight would act but she didn't tell Firecracker
Maybe but she doesn’t have any big powers all we’ve seen from the trailer is her using guns and making sparks. I just don’t think she’s very strong
@johnnyk.4152 exactly, her biggest power is her hate
@@BrainPilotShe didn’t need to tell her! I think Firecracker understands how to leverage the victim narrative perfectly fine on her own, hence the self-confession to being a p3do
She wants to look like a victim.
sister sage and homelander will kill firecracker to ignite the war after she stoked the flames and become a figurehead
Yeah I can see it
Did u see the new episode😭😭😭
i think the only reason she couldn't fight starlight is because she was not fighting back on purpose as they were being filmed and it was to her advantage to take a beating without getting personal on camera
She stood no chancec
Came here to say this
She didn’t stand a chance
She lost because she is season 2 starligth from temu.
I found out today that the Actress who plays Firecracker is herself a Lesbian who has a Partner of her own and wanted to play the anti-woke anti-gay character to show the ridiculousness of the things she portrays in the series. In her own words she thought it would be a hoot.
I saw one of her interviews. She’s a really talented actress. She pulls 🔥cracker off well.
So she's ridiculous on and off-screen. Nice
@@MansMan42069 in the interview that I saw she was articulate, calm, and appropriately humorous. She didn’t say anything absurd or present as ridiculous. She was just a working actress promoting the show. All of the actors seem pretty cool in their behind the scenes interviews. Check it out.
@@MansMan42069good one kunt
Funny how she was one of the only good things about season 4
When Frenchie went to her trailer he found some medication. It was for lactation.
A-Train goes to Homelander’s place and finds some breast milk. Seems like he can find some use for her.
metoclopramide - medication used for treating nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and heartburn in people with gastric reflux or diabetes.
@@volleyballDave Correct. It's implied it's for her eating disorder.
It can also be used to increase breast milk production while breastfeeding. I was given that when I had low milk production.
You called perfectly 😂
I don't think we've seen FIrecracker's full strength, and I think Firecracker was told by Sage to not strike Starlight so that the victim role could playout and result in Starlight being ousted. Maybe Firecracker's powers are less useful, but Sage is smart and knows that Firecracker will be pivotal in the big plan.
It would be interesting if there were some hidden powers!
I actually disagree I don’t think she knew sage planned that starlight crash out scene. You can tell when she says ‘how’s that for uppidy?’ Which was directed at firecracker not starlight
@@ayyrazzaI don't think she knew Sage planned it either, but I DO think she was smart enough to intentionally not try fighting back after Starlight nailed her the first time. We see her stand back up multiple times but she never makes any attempt to either fight back or flee. She just stays nicely in view of all her cameras so Starlight can beat her up some more.
We know she CAN fight because she was able to vs Kimiko, so her not even raising a hand to try is suspect. If there is one thing we know she understands, as a character, it's how to manipulate an audience. Her whole goal, per her comment in S4E3, was to make Starlight look mean to the whole world. Letting Starlight beat on her in unhinged rage broadcast live is a W for her in achieving that objective.
@@GeneralGrievousCIS
Your hypothesis is also supported by how she called Butcher’s bluff and posted that blackmail herself (of her sleeping with a minor). She then went on to use it to further garner the loyalty of her evangelical fan-base. She’s good with PR and Sage knows it. That’s why she specifically selected her. That and she knows she’s a willing servant to the cause.
Nope pretty clear in episode 5 she's just not strong enough to fight starlight
She’s a firecracker because she has the special power to spark, not physically, but more so metaphorically and start a fire of public opinion. But like a spark, it’s only useful to start the fire in specific conditions, it’s mostly useless after the fact. Or, firecrackers are just really for show/somewhat toys, their usefulness is intense but insanely short lived.
4:58
Legit one of the funniest moments in the season for me. Especially the way she fell on the camera. 😂😂😂
Brain pilot coming through early morning
Given the events of S4E4, where Firecracker successfully delivers a crippling blow to Annie's Starlighter movement, I don't see her surviving this season. Her purpose on the Seven was to destroy the Starlighter movement and she's just done that. Or at least took a big step towards it. However, she also got her ass beat on live TV by Starlight and this makes her come across as a weak supe (which she is) and what is one of the things Homelander despises? Weakness. If she's seen as weak while being on the Seven, then she's making the Seven look bad and, as Homelander himself once said, by extension this makes HIM look bad and he'll wanna do something about that. Now that part may not come up, but it's something to consider at least.
When Firecracker was sucking up to Homelander prior to the meeting of the Seven, he didn't even pay any attention to her. He didn't even look in her direction. Dude could give two shits about her. She doesn't have a big fanbase, aside from what being on the Seven has given her and that's basically her suckling on Homelander's fame, so what reason does he have to keep her around now? She doesn't bring in any good ratings, she doesn't offer anything useful behind closed doors now that she's crippled the Starlighter movement and fulfilled her one and only purpose unlike Sage, who isn't charismatic or popular with crowds but is hella useful to Homelander behind the screen and she's just not marketable. He literally has no use for her anymore.
My call? She's gonna live for a few more episodes to cause a bit of additional damage to the Starlighter movement and in the meantime, she's going to start noticing that Sage and Homelander don't have her back and are slowly but surely starting to give her the cold shoulder as her usefulness to them continues to wane and in a desperate move to regain their approval, she's going to do something monumentally stupid, one of the boys are going to get their hands on some evidence of her fuck up and use it as blackmail only done properly this time, swinging the balance of power back in their favor and as revenge, Homelander's going to rip her limb from limb, like he did to Alex/Supersonic. Annie's going to spend the next few episodes being royally pissed at Firecracker (rightly so, ofc) but in the end, she's going to see what Homelander did to her and feel some form of regret for how things turned out between them.
That's my wild guess based on absolutely nothing at all. Just a wild speculation. I can't wait to see how spectacularly wrong I am about literally all of it or, who knows, maybe I'll get some parts of it right. We'll know in the course of the next few weeks and I'm hyped to find out. I would gladly eat my words if what actually ends up happening is way better than what I came up with.
I will infact be reading all that
I just in fact read all that
Brother wrote a book over here
“ it’s Just Mayaathhh” 🤠🇺🇸
I believe Fire cracker let herself, get beaten up by Starlight. To fuel the Anti-Starlight movement. To benefit her, Sister sage and Homelanders schemes.
She's not stronger than starlight though , she got low diffed
@@pbsuitewhat on earth does low diffed mean 😂
Nah, she clearly wanted to "debate" with Starlight and not full on fistfight. She knows she doesn't stand a chance against Starlight so she would demolish her in a debate instead but that clearly didn't happen.
@@FoNgThOnG She definitely wasn't expecting Starlight to be SO angry as to straight up hit her immediately, but her whole plan was to make Starlight look mean on TV. She spelled that out in the previous episode. She got up a few times during the "fight"... she had time to think... and she made zero effort to defend herself OR retreat.
I think after the shock of the first blow she just decided to roll with it and let Starlight dig her own grave. She'd gotten what she wanted even more spectacularly than she'd hoped.
I also don't know that if she had fought back she wouldn't have been able to drag out an actual fight. She lasted a couple minutes 1v1 with Kimiko, and Kimiko def > Starlight in combat skill and experience. Don't know how much of amp Starlight has gotten since last season, but I'd have outright said Kimiko beats Starlight then.
@@professorlean3733It’s slang for beat with low difficulty
So if I say “Starlight low diffed firecracker” I mean “Starlight beat Firecracker with low difficulty”
What I am curious about is that I think Sage's plan was for Annie to kill Firecracker on camera and the fact of her being alive was what kind of sent Sage on her bender at the end of the episode. Its just that the second time we see her do that, its after something goes awry. First, when Homelander killed Annika before she could reveal more (like that Maeve is still alive) and now where maybe the plan didn't go off exactly. And like even by the comments, if Firecracker seems fine, there is more that it was all staged opinions that would start coming out. And worse, Sage still has to deal with Firecracker.
Firecracker is MTG with the Volume turned DOWN.
She didn’t fight back cause the goal was to make Star Light look like the villain.
That could have be true if it wasn't for her and Sage last conversation where she was generally pissed that she got her ass handed to her on national tv and how Sage had used her and set her up which clearly tells us she would have fought back if she could but was completely overpowered by starlight and clearly didn't just let starlight beat her up
@@Lightingwarrior interesting looked planned
@@TVMAN1997it was but firecracker wasn’t in on the plan. She was the sacrificed pawn setting up the checkmate.
Sister sage and firecracker are direct opposites. One spreads lies and the other is smart and knows the truth . Could be a foreshadow on how they’re not going to be together for the better. Aka “the new kids”
Firecracker is and will be totally manipulated by Sage. The ‘Red Shirts’ of Star Trek come to mind, except Firecracker will also be humiliated for her prejudices.
@@edbouhl3100 yes!! We already saw this in ep 4 when she called her “uppity “ and in return sage set her up and called her a cracker.(p.s remember their initial first conversation firecracker was passively racist )
Along with firecracker sage could manipulate anybody she wants but it only goes so far because we don’t know her physical strength for the only REAL power she has is her words .
I have 2 theories for her-
1. She sees how crazy and out of hand homelander is getting and decides to make a secret alliance with the boys ? Or smby else big and important (Vicky??)
2.shes killed🫤 …
when homelander gets to a point where he can’t take the truth anymore or just to outta hand smby gonna die….
No. I think Firecracker superpower given to her by compound V is the ability to understand what other people want to hear. She knows how to spark emotions in them and make the masses do what she wants. The sparks she can create with her hands are just a small part of her powers.
She says this herself when asked by sister sage, what her powers are.
your one of the good ones👩🏼🌾
Seems to me Firecracker and Sage both knew Starlight was gonna lose her shit. I mean they set the stage up right across the street lol. Obviously waiting for Starlight to snap sooner or later and strict orders not to fight back. You said it yourself, Forecracker does have strength because she stood up to Kamiko so why wouldn’t she fight back to starlight? They set up Starlight and she fell for it hook line and sinker.
She's could have died if mothers milk didn't stop her , maybe she was willing to die for her plans ,
Lol
Firecracker intentionally lost to Starlight. It was on camera and it was a setup to make Starlight look like a bully.
No, she didn't. That was part of sages plan that she didn't share with firecracker. She's just weak
I think she got.cooked , she didn't let starlight beat her , she's just a pawn in sages game
I don’t think Firecracker knows the plan, she’s just going with what Sage is telling her to do
@@chrislueras7014dat black girl magic is runnin da show and all the yt peepo be BIG MAD!
@@jackchop1576 lol I gave you no reason to think I was mad about a black girl being important in the show. Chill out
It just hit me… is Firecracker based on Valentina Gomez?? I can def see her burning books in a future episode
Who is valentina gomez
I just looked her up and I think she's way funnier than firecracker.😂
No - she's modeled after Marjorie Traitor Greed, er, BLeachBlondeBadBuiltButchBody...er, I mean, EmptyG...wait, no, Marjorie Taylor Greene? Yeah, that's it. Definitely not "Moscow Marge", lol.
Nope, it's an obvious take on Margerie Taylor Greene Southern accent and all
@@georgeriley4818 Only difference is Firecracker is faking it. MTG genuinely is that stupid.
thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Firecracker is only slightly more absurd than Marjorie Taylor Green
Better than clown democrats
Firecracker looks like Hawk Tuah Spit On That Thang love ❤️
Honestly these few episodes just made me hate starlight?! Firecracker has a legitimate beef
I completely agree and the ones who are defending Starlight and tell Firecracker to get over it (Which really piss's me off) clearly have no idea the grip that trauma can have on people, let alone a 13-year-old girl that had her entire life ruined. That's not something you get over; it affects you to your core and changes you as a person.
She raped a teenager and is accusing Starlight of raping children dude
Firecracker is still mad about something that happen when starlight the were in elementary
Her life without the competitions was already hell. Starlight spreading rumors and get her kick of competitions means she has return to hell without getting a ticket out.
Like homelander said its funny that the same moment can be so different in perspective aka burning him in a chamber vs it being a "job"
Women are petty and can hold grudges for years.
She went too far.
Not far off of Highschool, but yes. Important to understand, though, that no matter how long ago it was it seems to have ruined her life in some ways. Her family was poor. She had nothing else going for her. High level pageantry was her ticket to a better life as far as she and her family were concerned, I imagine. She was winning, at her prime, before little Starlight obliterated her pageant career with that rumour and destroyed her reputation while she was at it. Given she grew up in a conservative town it probably also destroyed her family's reputation.
To Starlight, it was a stupid, immature, thing she did as a teen. To Firecracker, it was the total ruination of her (at a minimum) adolescent life.
I think she let Starlight beat her up on purpose so she looks bad on camera. I think Firecracker's definitely stronger and more capable than you spoke about in the video. She just hasn't gotten a chance to display her abilities fully
True that's what thought idk much about her but she's manipulative right ?
She's like brett cooper and amouranth merged into one person.
Call,me petty but starlight deserve it.
It would be great if Firecracker's true power were Influence but at an entirely different level. She could be influencing Sister Sage and Homelander to THINK she is just a pawn to be sacrificed for their greater plan. It would be awesome if, later in the season, she would turn to Sister Sage or Homelander and take control of them. When she uses her true power her victims won't even realize that they're being controlled so they won't later try to get revenge on Firecracker. I don't hold out much hope for this but I'd love to see Homelander stand there and take instructions from Firecracker and then do her bidding.
That would be a cool twist!
@@BrainPilot Yeah, I have a lot of these kinds of theories that NEVER happen, sigh...
You have a soothing voice...
Homelander is getting the milk now, he isn’t going to be happy when she dies.
Kara!!! I wish she appear mo on other medias ❤
the best thing to do with her, is give another shot of compound V & it makes her the big bad villain we can see some good super hero battles to finish off this season making it build up to homelander finally battle next season
She is Qanan in person 😂
2:22 : "Hey Firecracker, I hear you like em young. .."
God, I hope those people who root for Homelander and praise him don't do the same for Firecracker when it's obvious you aren't supposed to root for them
Firecracker, from what I saw on Twitter and other RUclips comment threads, picked up a decent sized following of "supporters" IRL after her backstory with Starlight came our in E3. People hate bullies. Most of that support disappeared after E4 revealed the thing about her relations with "a sweet young man" though 🤣
@UnlnownLemondadeStand peoole root for villains all the time now when you aren’t supposed to when a little bit of sympathy is shown
A lot of people have said that firecracker believed her and sister sage were friends but I’m pretty sure she was hostile to her right off the bat…?
Thanks, that was interesting. In the show I never got what her powers are. 😂Apard from influence.😂
The only thing you need to know about Firecracker is she would do anythaaang… anythaaang… anythaaang… anythaaang… anythaaang… anythaaang… anythaaang…
Considering what happened to Stormfront and Blue Hawk for their odd antics it's like the writers are making it obvious what's going to happen with Firecracker based on her record so far.
I think Sage will be recruited by the Boys as she has information on Homelander, both witnessed and perceived.
What would be kinda cool to see, after taking the beatdown firecracker starts training and finds there more her powers(basically making her the sevens version of a Jubilee) levels up goes back and punks out starlight a bit showing her now she is a legitimate threat which then leads to a epic final fight on balanced terms and this time M.M ain't there to stop starlight
4:50 I mean it would make sense if someone that has the power to burn things down if they wanted to using a spark would be hesitant to use that power in a convention building filled with flammable plastic and objects all around her and tons of people. She still didn’t have Vought back legal immunity yet. I wonder how she would use her power in an open field with no risk of her being blamed for burning a building down
She's like if Chaya Raichik got superpowers
Regarding her powers I doubt we've seen them in full, I believe that was just her giving Sage a little idea without creating too much of a scene.
She most certainly lives up to her name. 🔥🔥🔥
I am pretty sure she's going to have a heart attack because of the meds she's on to be Homelander's MilkBags. The writers have had her explicitly share that it "enlarges the heart."
She's gonna die either as part of Sages plan. Or Homelander killing her ruining that plan. Either way, borrowed time.
Firecracker should have been one of the violations in the cartoon haha
She's willing to do Anything for Homelander
What was firecrackers power
Firecracker change homelander mind about her. She changed to he milk maid.
what are her powers???
Starlight's reaction was the whole plan, that's why Firecracker didn't fight back even though she held her own with Kimiko
I just don't know if I believe Firecracker knew of it all. I feel Sister Sage did, but not her
@@BrainPilot That's a really good point honestly, at this point she's just using the other 5 as pawns
Sage said "who's uppity now, Cracker" when viewing the fight.
Firecracker had no fkin idea that beatdown was coming. Hilarious!
Maybe she can use her powers to fire the bullets from her bullet belt across her chest by holding them in her hands💥💥 ?
It's crazy that her seemingly crazy rants sounds familiar to those altright RUclipsrs 😂
i think sage brought her in so that starlight will kill her. provoked or not. so that homelander and vought can tarnish starlight and her image.
I feel like they already did this arch with stormfront. So im justing waiting for her to get killed off.
FC didn’t “intentionally lose” to Starlight. That would imply that she knew the goal was to get Starlight to attack her which I doubt she fore saw. She was just obviously taken off guard and NOT expecting to get blasted in the face. This gave Starlight the upper hand. If FC squared up to fight instead of hitting a “Chris Rock at the Oscar’s,” in other words just standing there before getting attacked, it might have actually been a fight. SL still would have won, but it wouldn’t have been so one sided like in the scene.
Im pretty certain Homelander will kill her but i have small feeling she gets more powerful
Similar to how Neuman is a stand in for AOC. Do you think Firecracker is being used as a placeholder for conservative congresswomen? Women who are ultimately powerless but yield a lot of cred with the MAGA base. She kind of looks like Kandiss Taylor from Georgia.
What are her powers? I can't remember. Her personality completely overshadows her superpowers.
She can do sparks and stuff. At the convention thing she snapped her fingers infront of sage creating a small flame
@@RyanGoslingthestonecoldsigma Yeah. That's right. She had a lighter, right? I vaguely remember that.
Firecracker'd make a great host on a FOX news show.
I don’t think she’s going to last after episode five 😅
Homelander: All I ever wanted is loving mommy and why on Earth Edgar called me a Man-child?
Firecracker: [neuron activation]
Callin it out RN, Firecracker will die by being held hostage and Homelander lasering trough her to kill the guy who holds her hostage
Thank God people don't have super powers. Could you imagine the shit show that would be. Just Google the Stanford prison experiment.
IF MTG Had superpowers and looked decent basically Yes marjorie taylor green
Magic the Gathering features several super powered characters.
@@solairesunpraiserMTG as in "Marjorie Taylor Greene" lol 😂
@@GeneralGrievousCIS yes
The chick that plays Starlight F'd up her face
A parody of Jubilee
Say a bunch of key words to manipulate gullible people? A parody and reflection of certain people, but a well thought out character.
She's obviously Empty G. Even got the Jewish Space Laser rant down.
This chick really is a new kind of Stormfront huh
It would a better plot twist if sage got killed and transformed in chatgpt of the boys(since her brain can full heal) and firecracker just got carried to make starlight movement worse than it is.
Firecrackers plan was to provoke starlight into attacking her and she didn't fight back
Sounds like Meg's ability to grow super-long fingernails.
Something tells me that she's not gonna be able to produce the "mothers' milk" that Homelanders looking for... and yeah... at that point will be worthless... to him.
How come MM was strong enough to stop Annie in her battle rage??😨😨
Annie is not a total psycho. She still wanna be a good person and hero. So she easily can be... Stoped. Try to do with Homelander and you been dead in seconds
I rly hope the show doesnt chicken out and gives The Deep treatment to a literal p3do. Preferably worse cuz damn, The Deep has been the punching bag for over 3 seasons now
i’ve definitely enjoyed fire cracker this show 😂
I feel like sage or homelander will kill her then frame it as starlight who killed her after their fight on tv and everyone would believe it since she was beaten by starlight who to say she wasn’t kill by her or by the boys.
my issue with her is lack of powers. she just feels like nothing, no personality at all just got this strength and nothing else. been 5 episodes and all we saw was her punching kimiko. this season feels a bit more drama than action sadly, i miss the first two seasons where we constantly got people fighting all the action is gone so far
She’s a low supe
I think Firecracker's lack of power, but unwavering desire for attention is exactly why sage picked her. she's a Supe the majority of america can relate to, while also being loyal to Homelander. her past connection with Starlight will be used to set her up to be killed by her, making her a martyr and turning the people against her and her cause.
I think that Sage is going to sacrifice her to make her a martyr for the maga movement. I’m sorry. I mean the Homelander movement. 😂
Her power is victim mentality
Victim like from her past with starlight?
I have a feeling you are going to see her powers be more significant than they have been represented as so far. She's right about Starlight.
I'll be intrigued if that is the case!
1:45 probably true though?
I like valorie, though she has mostly awful characters like in the following series, this one I like pretty much, somewhere between dottie from the tick and the android kara from detroid become human game
I’m calling it now. Firecracker makes herself irreplaceable to homelander but will need to die to be the final piece in sages plan. Homelander already being turned against sage after events of episode 6, will freak out and brutalize sage. After that I bet any grand plans with the 25th amendment and subtly taking over the country will be thrown out for an all out war between supes and everyone else.
0:57 several decades ago?
Firecracker is basically Tucker Carlson.
But with a gash
No more like a mix of MTG and Lauren Boebert - with super powers. The actress is far hotter than both though.
@@Xcyper33 hotter? She is okay, and the two are disgusting af.
MTG and she looks like Naomi Watts.
@@Xcyper33a little Kristi Noem and Nancy Mace too
I feel like you could explain her in 3 letters. MTG.
Would.
I don't think she let Starlight beat her. All of the context clues point that she expected an argument, not a beat down. A beat down orchestrated by Sage. And, even if she did let her do some of it for the optics, she surely would have realized Starlight was killing her and put up some resistance when her life was on the line.
Not several decades. It was when they were 13 so barely 2 if that 😂. But good video
