00:00Welcome back everyone.

00:07It is Amelia.

00:08I hope you are fine.

00:10Starlight's powers seem to be on the fritz in The Boys season 4 and viewers might be

00:14wondering why she is having trouble using them.

00:17The Boys season 4 shows Starlight as an official member of the titular team and she even has

00:23an organized group of supporters backing her in the fight against Homelander and Watt.

00:28But despite being free of the company and The Seven, Starlight is still struggling with

00:32her identity.

00:33And The Boys season 4, episode 5 sees her facing another problem, her powers not working

00:39when she tries to use them.

00:41When The Boys accompany Victoria Newman to her secret laboratory, they find themselves

00:46facing off against animals that have been turned into subs.

00:50Unfortunately, Starlight isn't much use against them as her light flickers out as

00:54soon as she calls upon it.

00:56This doesn't get a proper explanation in, Beware the Jabberwock.

01:00My son?

01:01Though Newman does note Starlight's, dysfunction.

01:03And while The Boys isn't explicit about the reasons for Starlight's problems, the

01:08series does present an obvious reason for them to malfunction.

01:12Starlight's powers are likely acting up in The Boys season 4 because they are affected

01:16by her emotional state.

01:17During The Boys seasons 1 to 3, Starlight is typically the voice of reason and she can

01:22be counted on to use her abilities in a pinch.

01:26But while Starlight faces trouble with Homelander and other members of The 7 in the prior seasons,

01:31it's nothing compared to Firecracker's crucid against her.

01:35Firecracker is directly attacking Starlight in The Boys season 4.

01:38And she even reveals her personal medical records in episode 4, pushing Starlight to

01:43attack her on live TV.

01:45What is using all of this against Starlight and it's most likely getting to her.

01:49This explains why she tries and fails to use her powers in The Boys season 4.

01:55It probably doesn't help that she's struggling with her identity and it's a sore enough subject

02:00that she punches Newman over it in the latest installment.

02:03It's clear that Starlight isn't handling her problems well in The Boys season 4.

02:08And all the stress seems to be manifesting physically.

02:11That's the most likely explanation for her inability to properly call upon her light.

02:16Starlight's inability to use her powers may seem disappointing at first.

02:20But it actually makes her story in The Boys season 4 more interesting.

02:24With her abilities malfunctioning, the soup can't rely on her greatest asset.

02:28And it puts her at a significant disadvantage against enemies like Firecracker and Homelander.

02:34It also ensures that The Boys team isn't leaning too heavily on her, continuing their role

02:39as the underdogs of this story.

02:41The Boys wouldn't be as interesting if Starlight joined the team and made everything easier

02:46for them.

02:47And this storyline ensures that doesn't happen.

02:49Give me some ideas related to my video in comments on below if you like this video and

02:54subs for more upcoming videos.
