I’m sure the combination creates a complex debate in her mind.”Ĭaught in the middle as Vought’s pawn is Becca Butcher ( Shantel VanSanten ), who was revealed at the end of last season to be alive. I’m sure that she’s still grappling with that. And it just recently, you’ve gotten the revelation that they’re the opposite of what you thought they were. Per Moriarty, that’s intentional: “I think that the beginning ambiguity, it reflects what’s going on within her because, in addition to knowing that she needs to stay in the Seven to remain covert and takedown Vought, I think it’s probably really hard when you’ve been conditioned your entire life to worship this corporation.

Reeling from Hughie’s ( Jack Quaid ) betrayal and the truth behind Vought, it’s not immediately clear where her allegiance lies.

It’s just a little harder as an actor not to be able to talk about the entire story and to get into some of these larger conversations without spoilers and the full context of the show.”Īt the other end of the moral spectrum, Starlight begins this season in an ambiguous state. So, the experience of watching weekly is actually important.

But I think that we are often bamboozled by people who seem competent and charming and that the cult of personality tends to win over content in our world. Oh God, this is such a longer conversation. Of her character’s reception, Cash said, “Honestly, I think the weekly release has been harder for me, but its better ultimately because the truth is that that’s how the real world works. Interestingly, the weekly episodic release of The Boys’ second season ( read my review) meant that fans were initially duped by her frank attitude, especially in handling season one’s big villain, Homelander ( Antony Starr ). I think understanding is fine, but you shouldn’t be on her side.” “Because she is a white supremacist and she’s disgusting, and I don’t think that she should be glorified in any way. But the audience I don’t think should ever end up on her side,” Aya Cash says of her villainous character. I hope they don’t, but for her, she thinks that she’s the hero of her own story. I don’t think those justifications pan out as an audience member. They’ve been wiped out probably long ago, but there are obviously moments that she has justification for herself. She is not exactly somebody that you want to find her cute, cuddly parts. “ Stormfront is, I describe her as a heart full of acid. She’s the ideal for Vought’s campaign, except she’s revealed quickly enough to be a white supremacist with nefarious plans for domination. Then there’s Stormfront ( Aya Cash ), a powerful new member of the group that nails public relations while bucking corporate demands at every pass.

The disenchanted Queen Maeve ( Dominique McElligott ) couldn’t care less about any of her female teammates, barely mustering up enough enthusiasm for the cameras only. Starlight ( Erin Moriarty ) is actively working to take Vought down from the inside while playing along as a model corporate employee. The reality, of course, isn’t quite as rosy as the campaign suggests. As if they don’t have enough to deal with this season of Amazon’s The Boys, the female members of The Seven have to contend with Vought’s latest marketing campaign, “Girls Get it Done,” an optics scheme that paints a false portrait of feminism among Vought’s superheroes.
