Does Sister Sage share Homelander's supe supremacy philosophy?
The actress playing Sister Sage in The Boys, Susan Heyward, was questioned about Sister Sage's conformity with Homelander's supe supremacy philosophy. Though Heyward is not sure exactly why Sage is supporting Homelander's ideas, she thinks Sage is acting strategically and self-servingly. Heyward suggests that although Sage might not completely agree with Homelander's ideas, she is leveraging them to forward her own goals. She also speculates that Sage's ultimate objective could be something more complicated and less definite than straightforward loyalty to Homelander's philosophy.
What endsgame does Sister Sage have in The Boys?
Heyward says she doesn't know what the authors have in mind for Season 5, hence she doesn't have a clear solution to this problem. She does, however, conjecture that Sage's behavior is motivated by a need for control and authority. According to Heyward, Sage's objective could be to rise to be a major player in the new world order Homelander created, maybe even surpassing him over time. She also speculates that Sage might be playing a long game, leveraging Homelander's philosophy to further her own goals and establish an environment in which she might really flourish.
In what way does Sister Sage's participation in Homelander's ascent to prominence matter?
Homelander's climb to prominence has been much aided by Sage's strategic planning. She coordinated the broad deployment of supes under martial law and helped him confirm his political authority by controlling President Calhoun. This action gave Homelander an unheard-of degree of control and thereby solidified his power all throughout the US. Sage's impact emphasizes her slyness and ambition as well as her capacity to control people and situations to forward her own objectives.
In what ways does Homelander's supe dominance philosophy influence The Boys' universe?
Homelander's conviction in supe supremacy has resulted in a hazardous and explosive environment because people are regarded as less than. This philosophy has produced a power disparity whereby supes have unbridled control and driven entitlement and disrespect of human life. The dystopian society portrayed in The Boys clearly shows the outcomes: humanity live under continual terror and superpowers operate with impunity.
What might Homelander's philosophy have as unintended effects?
Homelander's supe superiority philosophy could cause even more bloodshed and persecution and further disrupt The Boys' world. Unchecked, it could lead to the absolute subjugation of mankind and the founding of an authoritarian government run under superpowers. The future of the planet The Boys live on as well as the individuals are seriously threatened by this situation.
Where does Sister Sage fit with The Boys going forward?
Future of Sister Sage in The Boys is yet unknown. Heyward speculates that Sage might be more strong than first thought, which would cause her own ascent to prominence or perhaps turn her against Homelander. Her multifarious reasons and strategic thinking make her an interesting and erratic character that suggests a perhaps important part in the next season.
