After the season 4 twist, how can we find which starlight is real?
That incredible turn in The Boys season 4, episode 7 is most likely still causing you whirl-around! Starlight, sometimes known as Annie January, demonstrated using her abilities for a far different intent than we could have imagined. How therefore can we identify the actual Starlight? Episode 7 director Catriona McKenzie was asked this, and she responded quite brilliantly.
What action Starlight took in the episode?
Starlight heals the supe-killing Homelander with her powers in the episode. Her powers are essentially useless against Homelander, as seen in past seasons, hence this surely surprised spectators. According to McKenzie, Annie's emotions really determine her powers. She is really mending from her own emotional scars when she is wielding her powers. She is merely attempting to make herself feel better; she is not purposefully hurting or benefiting anyone. She may therefore cure Homelander; he causes a great deal of suffering for her, hence she can heal him as well when she is working on herself.
How Are We To Find The Real Annie?
According to McKenzie, the way Annie uses her skills would help one find the actual her. The true Annie possesses a specific emotional "signature" to her abilities. "The real Annie is always seeking self-healing even if she is trying to hurt someone," she explains. She has never truly under control her abilities. She is therefore really dangerous. Thus, just observe how Starlight is utilizing her abilities to determine whether she is indeed the genuine Annie. Are they attending to her emotional requirements? Is she trying to boost her own mood? If so, you most likely have the genuine Annie in sight.
This implies what for the remaining of the season?
For the rest of the season, this turn flips everything! The program will look at Annie's motivations as well as her actual ability. According to McKenzie, this announcement will have a significant effect on the show and will be much fun to see how it all turns out. "An Annie's powers will become a lot more important in the rest of the season and they will be used in some quite unexpected ways," she explains.
Is It Likely That This Is Only Dream?
Some viewers are speculating that episode 7's events were really a dream. There are several really dreamy elements in the episode, hence it's likely that Annie's imagination created everything. McKenzie, though, seems to rule out that prospect. She notes, "This is not a dream." This is actually true. It will also alter everything. Thus, be ready for some crazy turns in the remaining season!
Is Starlight the Season 4 Villain Actually?
Many people find themselves wondering if Starlight truly serves as the Season 4 adversary. McKenzie thinks it's not quite straightforward. "Annie is a multifarious character capable of both good and negative deeds. The observer must choose whether she represents a villain or a hero." "But one thing is for sure: she's going to be a very important player in the rest of the season," she continues, "regardless of your opinions of Annie." Stay tuned then to watch how Annie's powers and motives keep developing.
