Still The Boys universe, eh? You can have an occasional moment of warmth and compassion, just as a reminder that those things do in fact still exist on this show, but then it's right back to blowing people's heads up, lasering them in half, blackmail, depraved sex fetishes and whatever other fucked up thing I'm missing.
@@Ismael-kc3ry I dunno man a psychotic and narcisstic rapist with god complex deserves no sympathy Neither does a speedster who kills his own girlfriend because his boss said so But yeah, fuck Stormfront too
It's so interesting how Hugie is both lying and telling the truth. Because he's still covering/obfuscating for him and the boys. But on a different level, he's likely still processing the literal explosion of his previous partner in front of his eyes (and in his eyes).
Everyone talking about how he's technically right but not saying the full thing and stuff, meanwhile I just take a moment to appreciate the hug, and how they are both looking like they haven't felt something sincerely nice for a long time
@@Killua_Morales - Homelander like The Joker?, well that could be true, I mean both of them are homicidal maniac's and both Harley Quinn & Stormfront are both bat-shit crazy, but on the other hand Harley Quinn isn't a Evil Nazi.
Hughie is a great representation of an "everyman" and the way the type of character is supposed to be written. Even though his character was made to be an average Joe that anybody could relate to, he still has enough skill, charm and development to make the situation hes in believable, and his achievements and relationships are rightfully gained.
His mind is actually trying to numb it for him,He right now has his mind on so many thing(His first and subsequent needed kills of supers)That causes his mind to not boil in itself,Because if he actually had a moment absent of high anxiety torment then he would probably breakdown.
Can you imagine if someone accidentally RAN THROUGH your girlfriend (or boyfriend) and you had to clean their guts and blood off you, meanwhile their detached arm/hand is still in your grip? There would be SERIOUS PTSD going on, repressed feelings, your mind probably would be in a state of denial even. I think the actor does a great job of portraying it subtly.
The way I view this scene is that she rightfully calls him out for taking advantage of her and he side steps her arguments by bringing up his past trauma. A common way of diverting bad attention is to bring up a deeper issue.
He still openly and deeply apologises for it. He uses it as a way to quickly and efficiently explain to Starlight why he treated her the way he has treated her, that he realises it was wrong, and that he intends to do better by her and by Robin's memory. Yeah, it's not the least manipulative way to say sorry, but if explaining that your actions are a result of intense emotional trauma is truthful (and accompanied by a realisation and apology), then it is valid explanation.
“My girlfriend died” more like “a-train ran through my girlfriend and popped her like a water balloon in front of me with her hands still attached to my wrists”
That look on her face at the end. May not be what was intended, but it’s almost like she is thinking “that better be a roll of lifesavers in your pocket”.
I mean Hughie was an average Joe only because of his way of life until those moments rather than his actual character. He became quite skillful in the things he does now in the show lol
He isn't lying tho, his girlfriend did die. That's why he's there. He thought getting back at the supers would help him feel better and finally get closure but it didn't. Of course he didn't mention that he was there to help blackmail and kill supers but the rest of what he said was true
You can lie by not telling the whole truth. He basically avoids the most important facts of him being there. Like he’s there to blackmail the super not for any other reason he’s saying.
In Pact, practitioners (read: wizards) gain their powers at the cost of forsaking their ability to lie. So they inevitably turn to what Hughie is doing here: saying things that are technically true, if not the full picture. That is not to say I don't believe him here, it's just that Starlight is also right: he's taking advantage of her; but they need all the moral support they can get, and there's literally no one else in the whole show that can provide it. It's a crapsack world, after all.
It's not simping if you're fucking her, and she's the one getting you special V.I.P. passes. And you're the one pulling passed trauma cards to get out of trouble. If anything, Annie's the one simping for Hughie at this time.
I love Starlight and Hughie so much but I wish that it wouldn't have been Hughie's girlfriend A-Train killed. I mean number one, the FRIDGING alone was kinda annoying, even if they were following the comics 'cos it was still fridging in the source material. Number two, even though Hughie started this because he wants to avenge Robin to me it feels like he moved on a little quickly with Starlight no matter how slow they took it. Again, I love their romance and their friendship but I think that it would have been a lot more impactful if instead of it being a dead girlfriend Hughie wants to avenge it could have been a best friend who was like his brother, which also could be part of the reason he trusted Butcher so fast. That is my headcanon haha. Nevertheless still love this crazy and emotional show, each season gets better and better
Idk why people are so obsessed with this trope. Is that because it happens a lot in comics? Whether it happened to a lover or a family member is still the same thing. At the end of the day, it was necessary to kickoff his character's journey
@@rainydeestar people mad about fridging often miss the point that writers use a dead female love interest because it will generate a lot more sympathy and outrage from the audience. If its sexist, its because of the inherently higher value placed on a woman's life when there is little to no context. Thats why "fridging" is more common than an Uncle Ben. The audience makes it easier.
Allegedly fans are harsh on her? I haven't seen that yet, but they're dumb if so lol she's corny in the pilot episode, and great from there on out. I love Annie fr
Eric Kripke totally ruined Starlight in s3. I lowkey feel bad bc she was the lead cast in s1-2 and all of a sudden she's not. Still I'm in love with his direction and I can't expect everything to be perfect but I miss the old starlight hughie relationship. Supersonic was a character who spiced things up until.... Homelander went pew pew
Then two seasons later: “I ThOuGhT tHe DrUgS hAd F*CkEd YoU uP…” Annie seemed so sympathetic here, but is for some reason surprised when Hughie feels the need to want to protect her. Even if it means taking Temp V. The writers screwed her in season 3 hard. Edit: I also just remember that she literally kills an innocent guy in season 2 in order to steal his car so they can take Hughie to a hospital. So she can do bad things, but he can’t? He’s literally doing it to kill Homelander to essentially save her (and the world).
Its weird cause if homelander wasn't there it be a couple simple douche bags with power but nothing that makes it crazy it be a Kpop love drawa with supers
I love how the show immediately cuts to lasering people in half with a super baby after this genuine heartwarming scene.

Well... At least next scene was fckng Diabolical
Fuckin diabolical scene
Am I a bad person for laughing uncontrollably at the baby laser scene?
Honestly it was kinda wholesome and goofy. Then again, Butcher always makes things goofy.
That hug was so needed for my boy
Yeah, he needed someone to comfort him at his lowest
They both needed it.
For Annie too
If they wanted to turn this into a boys moment then she would’ve killed him with that hug.
@@BlackDiamond2718 hire fans
Im not that much into romantical relationships in TV shows but these two got enough chemistry to make them believable. Good show.

This is why I love their relationship. Shows the difference between honesty and deception.
More like between sincerity and deception.
The thing is Hugie IS still lying to her. He sort of ALWAYS lies to her in Season 1.

He's the Master of coming clean and being dirty at the same time.
Even when Hughie was still using her, he was always honest. Despite playing a false game, he never pretended to be someone he is not.

Starlight is the Starfire to Hughie's Robin.
Is that a play on words?

Such a great pair of actors to play such a famous comic book couple.
My boy Hughie moved on so quickly from losing his girlfriend for around few weeks to be in love with other girl
