I'm starting to think Eric Kripke just hates Hughie. Last season, he tried shoving in this weird take on how Hughie represented toxic masculinity for taking temp v to protect starlight. If I can find the article, I'll make sure to link it.

Tbh, he comes off as one of those "male feminist" who's trying way too hard to appeal to women, that he just loops back around to being just as gross and toxic as the men he claims to hate.

The temp V criticism for Hughie is by far the worst part of S3. He is in a active war and Homelander's no.1 target. He isn't ex military like Butcher or MM nor is he a trained Hitman like Frenchie.

He could die any time and now he is given a potion that can help him not only survive but even the odds. Not to mention Starlight and Kimiko steal V for themselves but fuck Hughie he can die.

He can't die at any time! He's blessed with plot armor! That's how he was able to stop his dad's killing spree!

People with degenerative mental issues go in and out all the time. It's not always so "conveniently" timed but like

He killed a bunch of people, it went plenty wrong already
