Starlight's powers in The Boys deserved far more competent writing than what it got, she can manipulate ENERGY for fuck's sake.
They could never make me believe that her powers were weak simply because I have interacted with far too many characters featuring energy manipulators like Captain Marvel, Miss Marvel (comics), Spectrum.
Butcher implied she could cauterize Hughie's wounds with her light and she almost did it before she realized she ran out of energy, meaning that instead of her light just throwing people away it should literally burn them and cause huge blasts worse than the crimson countess.
And about the "ran out of energy" section, what the actual fuck is that writing cause she doesn't ever run out of energy outside even without a proper source, which makes sense right cause she can absorb any energy not just electrical energy and they don't even mention that she developed an ability it just.......happens?
And the fight with the Deep where she at last kicks his ass and for some reason shows no resentfulness (she's literally his victim mind you, fuck you Eric Kripke) was the only importance she shows in the season 5 of Boys other than when she cosplays Firecracker, after the ending of season 4 where she blasted into the sky, I expected better for her?
And about her pregnancy, not saying there's anything wrong with it, but, why do male writers think that's the only way for a female character to end happy? couldn't she just be happily cozying up with Hughie instead?
Annie just deserved so much better smh and so did Erin Moriarty
