Let’s see some day Supreme Sentinel in the danger room like Celestia’s video 🙌🏽

Great and incredibly action-packed episode. Sentinel takes the fight like a champ and I love how she carries herself bravely, even in the face of a basically unstoppable force. I’ve been hesitant to think of Patriot-Girl as a full on villain so far, but watching her smile and call SS her ‘pretty puppet’ was deviously villainous. Someone else mentioned it too, but her ability to lean into that energy has been fantastic. She’s been playing PG for years now and I wonder if she’s enjoying how the character has evolved. Can’t wait to see what’s next in the story!

Putting together Patriot-Girl, Supreme Sentinel, and Seth is pretty much guaranteed to be a success (“Seesaw” proved that) and this is another one. Sentinel has proven that her MVP showing last year was no fluke, and Patriot-Girl is just the best. She’s exceptional in every way. What a performer, and what a character!
I have to admit, I made lots of excuses for Patriot-Girl when she began showing her villainous streak, but she’s broken bad. Seth is an extremist, willing to justify any actions in pursuit of his goals, but his goals are ostensibly noble. Patriot-Girl seems to value power for its own sake. She takes obvious delight inflicting pain on heroines. She echoes Seth’s arguments against synth powers, but it’s easy to believe that she’s less committed to that cause than to the cause of being the most powerful heroine. Witness how happy she is to put Sentinel under control. If she does really want to destroy synth power, it may be just to ensure that no one gets to be more powerful than herself. I found it amusing that she still sees Killscape as a “visionary” (excusing herself for her loyalty to him) but that his vision is out of his control. I think the thing she holds against Killscape more than anything else is that he’s not the boss anymore.
The story has been on a steady pace of one entry every two months for more than a year now, but the pace of change has been swift. Just a year ago (in our time), Patriot-Girl and Killscape captured Echo as bait for Lady X and Supreme Sentinel. Now PG and Killscape are on opposite sides (and they used to have such good times!) and Echo is in the hands of Acolyte, who’s shown his true face (metaphorically) working for John Roman.
Supreme Sentinel is the last domino to fall in terms of active heroines who have appeared in the story (Supernova, Carmen Black V, and Alias 2 haven’t yet). Any of those could appear soon, and it’s possible there are other heroines we’ve never seen before.
One thing: all of the heroines involved in this conflict on both sides are (we think) naturally powered. The only synthetic heroine (again, I think) currently active is Alias 2.0, and she’s just debuted. There have been synth heroines in the past: Celestia and Miss Freedom of course (speaking of “Seesaw”), Alias, Lady Atom, Hourglass (arguably), Firebrand (according to “Revival”), and… who? Am I forgetting someone? Killscape had ambitions of creating his own synthetically powered heroine force, starting with Alias and Lady Atom, recruiting Lightstalker to create more super-powered agents, but that didn’t work out.
Anyway, despite Seth’s crisis mindset, at present the conflict is over the technology used to create artificial powers (held by Equilibrium). It’s not like there’s a bunch of actual synthetically powered people out there. It would be interesting if an artificially powered heroine, the actual threat Seth is trying to destroy, were around. That would raise the stakes, because I bet Seth wouldn’t hesitate to destroy a synth powered heroine (as he did in Seesaw).
Anyway, can’t wait to see what happens next.
