nah this make perfect sense the only way Vought survived this long is by limiting how much she knew

i suspect she didn't want to be involved, and took steps to be left alone till now

"makes vought look stupid" dude no way, vought? stupid? on my television show specifically made to showcase that vought is stupid?

My only theory is that wanted her isolated because they were scared she’d topple their whole empire and take over.

I mean given she doesn't like attention and gets a lobotomy just to feel normal, I see it as Vought just ignoring her hoping she doesnt try something and thankfully she just couldnt be bothered so they just let her be

Often strong introduced later has ripple effect of "why didn't they do this earlier"

Did you not notice her worming her way into a position of power She is the worst person to give power because dumb people with power dosnt last long but smart people woth it are absolutely horrific

If you don’t remember her and a-train have a past. I’m pretty sure he blacklisted her like how the deep tried to do to starlight. Plus to you it’s dumb to not have the smartest person but to Vought they’re a company, how do you market someone with super intelligence? But I do agree with you to an extent but at the end of the day it’s a show don’t think too deep into it.

The smartest people usually do the dumbest things yet the most clever of which actually changes the world -marie curie

She didn’t like vought and I believe she essentially left to just live her life, homelander brought her back into the fold. Hence why she lobotomizes herself when she gets stressed out. I think she’s going to flip on the 7 at some point when it can work in her favor.

1. Shes smarter than literally everyone which makes her a threat 2. Peefectly reasonable. Its commentary on gow black women are always overlooked and underestimated.

It's like the stuff school doesn't teach you. Can't risk "the smartest person alive" figuring out they are being used by some corrupt people...

No no, she wasn’t on standby, she didn’t exist.

She might gone rogue if they rely on her too much. And she is the one who do the planning for Homelander so she didn't do nothing, though she probably betray him.

That's because she was made while writing script of season 4

Bro about to discover racism 😂😂

I assume Stan Edgar knew she was a threat and kept her at a distance while she was with Vaughn and then went home and took over she was just kind of left on standby

to be fair I understand where you come from, but I do imagine that vought is extremely afraid of giving supes an inch and getting absolutely destroyed. much like they knew they couldn't do anything to homelander, so they got psychologists to make him depend on them, I imagine that if they got sister sage to work there she'd take control of the company in no time

How come Stormfront is the first Supe after Operations Paperclip at the end of WW2 but later Soldiers Boy said he was in D-day?

You have no idea how much this thought was bothering me. I hope they expand on the next couple episodes.

Let’s be honest if she was in any situation with Vought it’s more than likely she would shit on them. She smart enough to know what they do. She’s smart enough to know that what they’re doing is ethically wrong and they’ve basically wronged her in the fact that they put 10 feet in her body, she would for sure, destroy them

maybe because she just didn't want to do that?

They couldn't control her. Every manipulation would be seen from miles. Vought don't like things which they couldn't control - even Homelander was conditioned to be controlable.

They just needed a DEI higher.

That’s too much risk for Vought though, she’s the smartest person in the world not the most loyal. Moment she figures out a solution that gives her the best outcome she will put things in place to make it that way. Probably without people ever knowing. And probably nothing good for Vought or their investors

Why would you arm somebody like that with the power to cripple the whole operation? She's the smartest person alive, wouldn't she think to preserve herself over the humans who made her? The truth is, She's not a threat so long as she doesn't learn of certain information. I haven't seen the show, but i can deduce that much 😂

Still not as stupid as having an indestructible soldier and not using them on d-day

Did u watch the show lol she didn’t wanna be in the 7 till homelander basically forced her to

As the smartest person, she is also the most effective snitch. I agree with everyone else here. It’s actually smart they refused to hire her.

It’s stupid…but in line with Garth Ennis writing

"Makes Vought look stupid" well... that is no surprise, they alway fuck up something dude 😂

She seems to have an attitude problem, and she seems to have normal super intelligence. She's not creating space ships in her backyard. Lastly, the company a joke none of what they do makes sense.

You're making lots of specious assumptions, the biggest of which is that she would have gone along with Vought's plans and would have done any of the things you mentioned. It seemed really clear to me that she didn't want anything to do with Vought, Homelander, or the 7. She was happy just reading her books in solitude. She's only involved now because she came to Homelander's attention, and either: 1) she knows that he will kill her if she refuses because he won't tolerate a potential threat / rival, or 2) she realizes this is her best opportunity to overthrow Vought from within, or (alternatively) to survive what she seems coming on the horizon.

It’s cute you think a business person wants someone smarter under them. They want people better at them at specific tasks, not capable of taking their job.

Yeah it would have been cool if this was Stan Edgar or like his side kick or sum

I think it’s because intelligence can’t be controlled for really they would literally just have to put here in a position where she can’t do nothing with it I think it’s more of a control thing

Hey lets tell that incredible smart girl all our secrets and show her all the formulas how to make them, then let her do the stuff for us Suuuuuch a smart idea🙂

I think that's the point, Vought is both stupid and intimidated by her

They should've terminated her immediately if they decided to not use het

Probably fear but other than that I agree

Sister sage for some odd reason feels like a more super powered version of Mr. Glass from the Unbreakbale trilogy

Its probably because shes too smart and would attempt to manipluate everything sround her to her benefit (like shes probably doing with homelander and all of vought now). Also, idk if vought really needed her for temp v or any of that. And whos to say that vought doesnt already have a super intelligent person that is more controllable.

Have you seen her? She isn’t just intelligent, she’s actively dangerous

She's admitted that she hates attention and views popularity as a prison. She also doesn't work well with people--she left the Teenage Kix (I believe that was the correct team, but I digress) because she was constantly clashed with them (either she left or was kicked out). Vought can't control her, and they would have been content with letting her rot in her apartment with her books because she's a liability. Why would she want to be utilized by Vought? She only agreed because Homelander is now in charge, and she can use the current company's roster and current political climate to her advantage.

Well She is the smartest person alive not the other humans 😂

Why would they want someone they can’t control?

All she does is give hotdog water advice and use sarcasm. That’s peak intelligence apparently

They are far too busy trying to figure out how many more racist trump supporter references they can make per episode to think up any logical explanation for characters this intelligent. No but really its just classic writer oversight. Bring in a new fantastic character thats overpowered in some way, and nobody asks where they were this whole time.

They just wrote her in, stop thinking too much.

Let’s not be dumb, it’s the side support black character that’s in every movie/tv show now a days for diversity. Lol usually they are gay and are super smart/helpful to the main character… it’s even funnier/not surprising that being the smartest in the show is her superpower . WhO wOuLd Of GuEsSeD 🥴🤣😌

The reason she wasn't in the first few seasons was because she wasn't in the comics... Plus also racism

It’s cute you think the smartest person alive will do exactly what you tell them to do. She wasn’t on a roster. She was in a cage.

Bros just forget that Vought needed to make Money, as well as create an idol more than a superhero. Nothing to gain when your greatest asset is just being smarter than everyone else, but if you can fly, shoot lasers, and be near invulnerable, that’s a not just a hero, that’s profit baby. And thats not considering how the show portrays those characters with different abilities.

guys stop coping. its pretty obvious the boys is kinda going down

A black woman is tbe smartest person 😂😅 plot hole!

I think the reason is much simpler - she's dismissed because she's intelligent And then she's smart enough to keep her self in position of being dismissed. But also. Yeah, it's stupid. The Boys isn't an ingenious show. It's good for what it does. But it's corny as fuck.

Is she smarter than the smartest dead human??

So batman but a black woman lol😅😅😅

Smartest not the most intelligent

well u urself doesnt possess intelligence huh. just like homelander, preventive measures were also in place for her. vought needs to be in control afterall

Caus she is 🏴

Is it because I'm black?

Diverse Mary Sue

Pretty simple. They dont want someone smarter than them and she doesnt want to be involved. Its based off of corporate. Corporate is stupid. Thats the joke.

They needed to add a “zmurt wyimmen of color” for woke points

This is a diversity hire, and they came up with a lame back story. Which is why it doesn't make sense.

Lmao they made the black character the smartest person alive. 😂😂

sorry but season 3 was awfuI and season 4 is matching up to be even worse. Its so weird bc seasons 1 and 2 were great. Now it feels like they are just throwing stuff against the wall.

What’s that thing they say about the disillusioned man can only control the ignorant, not the intelligent?

Woke character

It’s kinda cuz Vought IS stupid? Like, everything they’ve done so far focuses on money over everything else, and given how bigoted they can get, it’s likely they didn’t even consider putting Sister Sage in those projects until Homelander found out about her and recruited her finally.
