It did not go great.In a two-minute scene, Jordan Li and Marie Moreau meet up with Starlight to give them intel on Oh Father’s location, as previously they’ve been mentioned as doing this and that to help the “movement” on Starlight’s behalf. But once they're there, asking to actually get in the fight, Starlight dismisses them, and Marie in particular, saying, “What good’s all that power, Marie, if you can’t control it?”The problem here is that Marie has now spent two seasons of Gen V expanding her blood-based power’s capabilities to the point where in the end of season 2, she can now literally resurrect the dead. She has harnessed her power, and Gen V unveiled a specific plotline where she was at the power level of Homelander, the only other supe in the universe to have that capability, it’s said (I suppose this was before Soldier Boy came off ice). Homelander has now taken the V1 so perhaps that’s no longer true, but this, coming from Starlight of all people, who has as of late proven to be extremely useless at fighting, was more than a little obnoxious.The BoysAmazonMORE FOR YO...
