Starlight beating up Firecracker on live TV was 100% Sage’s plan

u/Bergain1945 Jun 20 '24

yes, exactly, and I think Sage loved it both because that was the plan and that Firecracker had her face rearranged on TV.

I wonder if any of it will come back to bite her. Goading Annie into attacking Firecracker was the best outcome. Firecracker was meant to be a sacrifice, ideally she'd be dead.

She's been shown to be quite cunning, so I would expect her to connect those dots.

She’s kind of like DC’s Owlman.

Can you just imagine how the stupid conspiracy shit was driving Sage absolutely nuts?

u/ZenkaiZ Jun 20 '24

Yeah that's the whole reason this event HAD to be down the street from the starlighters. If Annie had to fly a few miles she would have had time to calm down.

So fucking many people in these comments are missing that obvious fact so they can go "Starlight's a dumb bitch for not killing the cameras".

u/BlizzPenguin Jun 20 '24

Starlight didn’t kill the cameras because in the moment she was so enraged she wasn’t thinking. She didn’t even register the cameras were there until they were pointed out.

That's a pretty weak justification. She was watching her all day on TV, which is filmed with cameras.

Win-win for Sage.
