#lisa Kind Of Has To Be The Unaffected One Trying To Reverse Engineer The Problem In The B Plot Because

#lisa kind of has to be the unaffected one trying to reverse engineer the problem in the b plot because anything else will cause#big damn problems emotionally and also make it implausible to hold onto secrets we're saving for the season finale wise.#though i guess alec getting lisas powers and lisa having to distract him with funny protectorate drama as self preservation isnt nothing

still re undersiders body swap cartoon episode just in a new post because the thread was getting long. this may be overestimating alec's ability to be a good boy but i genuinely do think alec is Invested Enough In Being A Good Boy that this would not be a big problem. it would only be a medium problem. because, like, the danger of alec suddenly having vast quantities of information about his friends psyches is that he does what lisa notes him to be prone to and underestimates the seriousness of something and lets it slip. but that danger is minimized when he's also receiving a live feed of information about precisely how serious [insert emotional thing here] is to [insert undersider here]. i think he would do what he often does when he realizes he's in over his head wrt handling a problem involving Feelings and just kind of like. sit very quietly and very still at the back of the team. while staring into the middle distance and occasionally making a strange poorly contained facial expression. and also one (1) time he would notice far too much about taylors feelings about brian or rachels muscles or whatever and then try to make a joke about it and receive a live feed of information about how he just made her feel embarrassed and bad and also like he's trying to bully her and how she's worried that he's learning lots of things about her psyche and is judging everything and so on. to which he would respond by getting defensively upset about being perceived as that mean and do a terrible job of backpedaling out without actually undergoing the vulnerability of apologizing or admitting that being perceived that way upsets him. and then he would go back to sitting and staring into space very quietly

what you do have to hand to alec is that its really miraculous how many social interactions he Doesnt fuck up. like every time he speaks to anyone and the entire conversation doesnt go up in flames that should be a gold star on his good boy chart

Wait why did Brian get a shadow power. Why is he a shaker. It doesn't even remotely relate to his trigger event. Girl what problem did your power solve.

Is there a more useless cape in the bay than triumph?

After much soul searching, wiki browsing and pondering, the answer to that question is yes. Yes there is.

Meet exhibit A: Trevor, AKA Chariot.

The worst fucking tinker to ever live.

Outwardly, very similar to Triumph. Complete mouthbreathing fodder.

What really puts Chariot in 'I would rather have greg veder have this power' tier is the fact that he had so much potential.

Chariot is a movement tinker, one who I cannot stress this enough, HAS ACCESS TO TELEPORTATION TINKERTECH.

TELEPORTATION TINKERTECH.

One more time for the people in the back,

TELEPORTATION.

TINKERTECH.

I could cry, really I could.

So first off, you need to understand just how good his power is. He literally made fucking POWER ARMOR that could go 100 mph with fucking dogshit scraps. Fucking power armor. The only other tinkers with power armor was trainwreck (a guy who's specialty is literally working with scraps) and Armsmaster, who's funded by the protectorate. And this guy just fuckin made some shit in his basement with an oven and a blowtorch or something.

He's got an extra dash of that shardstuff for sure. Also for some reason he just has extra insight into tinkertech? Just added on, for shits and giggles. His shard was forking over the shardbucks to give it's host a head start, too fucking bad it landed on literally the worst person in existence to have a tinker power. even fucking leet would be better than this idiot.

Not only that, he was able to copy trickster's power. Yk, trickster, just the guy with one of the most versatile and powerful powers in a street level setting and even beyond some of that, no biggie. fucking trickster.

This guy could scan movers and copy their powers.

In a world where this guy had a single braincell, he would've joined the protectorate, scanned strider's power and worked with dragon to set up fucking portals all around the united states or something.

Instead, we get this fucking brainlet.

I'm assuming he could also make some sort of neurological implant to speed up his thoughts to keep up with his tech, but thats just another failure of this troglodyte.

I still, I'm still laughing at how utterly fucking stupid this shit is, but one of his gadgets that he made.

So get this, he made a jetpack right, or a flight pack whatever. Guess what this dipshit decides to add in his shit. A fucking bomb. Yeah, he added a bomb in something he was carrying on his back. The reason? As far as im concerned, as a fucking escape route.

Yeah, you heard that right.

The MOVEMENT tinker, put a fucking bomb in their movement gear, to ESCAPE.

???

Unless he had some sort of secret 540000 iq plan to do something else with that bomb, but considering this guy's track record I doubt it. Even then that's fucking stupid. Why are you blowing up your gear? 'Oh hey! I got a great idea! Instead of doing literally anything else, how about I put an EXPLOSIVE right next to me in volatile tinkertech! What a great idea!'

Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself.

So, this guy triggered about a year before canon start. What was he doing in all of that time?

Literally fucking nothing.

All he did was just ride around at 3 am being a little shithead. A year btw, he did that for a year.

Then he eventually got caught by assault (lol) and was forced to talk to Kid Win. In an incredible play, since Chariot was working for coil and decided to become a rat, got DISCOVERED BEFORE HE EVEN SIGNED THE PAPERS. LOL?

This fucking dipshit was like 'Yeah, they'll never see it coming >:)' meanwhile the PRT had a meeting deciding to fucking just feed this guy faulty information. Can you fucking do anything 😭.

He just was taking L after L.

He's like Leet but he doesn't even have the excuse that his shard hates him.

He's literally Legend's long lost cousin.

no goals, no plans

what are you doing man? 😭

Worst fucking spy on the planet.

Literal shithead kid waking people up at 3 am going on joyrides, which would be based if he wasn't so stupid. Such a cool power too, definition of wasted potential. I just agh.

WHY DO YOU GET. LIKE. UNDERSTANDING OF OTHER TINKERS SHIT. JUST TACKED ON. WHY ARE YOU BUILT FOR COLLABS AND YOU DO NOTHING.

Only fucking this guy could take a teleportation tinker spec and be absolute fodder.

Im still laughing at the bomb shit. Why is your first thought as a movement tinker to put a fucking bomb inside of your tech. Like what? Instead of literally making anything else. Are you fucking stupid? Yes you are, you are stupid. Even if it wasn't an escape plan (still can't believe it WORKED as an escape plan.) Like, what are you gonna do, throw your shit at the guy your fighting then stumble away because you blew up all of your shit. This fucking guy.

Anyway, stay tuned for more hating.

I haven't sat down and watched The Boys show at all really, but if Alexandria were somehow dropped into The Boys universe, Homelander would be forcefemmed within a month and lactating post now
