Starlight always looked a bit weird because she massively made over to be Starlight. In reality she just looks like a little teenage girl. Make up massively changes her look. I'm still not sure what her power is...

I thought this too, looked to me like she had had some top lip filler/cheek filler or something?

She was in Jessica Jones on Netflix too (it's on Disney+ now)

Wait. What? I definitely missed that...

I am going to have to give this show another try.

I crashed out halfway through season one, but comments suggest it gets better.
So much better...

She was the main victim in the first series.

Was she the one who got pregnant with Killgrave's baby? I didn't realise it was the same actress.

Can't remember, she's the one who (just incase anyone hasn't seen and wants to watch) shot her parents in the lift

Surely that's just good makeup? Women can "paint" in cheek bones, and obviously lipstick make lips look more prominent, especially if its being done by professional makeup artists.

Yeah, same character.

Now that I think about it, Killgrave would fit into The Boys quite well. A charismatic monster.

5 episodes into series 1 I am struggling to keep interest. Though I do hear the 13th minute into first ep of S3 is spectacular...

Just to echo some other comments on here, Starr is superb as homelander, the series wouldn’t be half as good without his character in it. Despite him being the baddie he’s my favourite; brutal, ego, controlling, ‘all American’ but innocent and lacking belief. Proper extremes

Personally thought she looked a bit 'ill' in series 3 (like she had lost a chunk of weight).

I don't think it would be half as good without him - Karl Urban is good, but Starr is so much better

And I think I'll go back to Jessica Jones for a rewatch...

Given it's Butcher, I was expecting it to go with "But what you might not know, is that superheroes are s".

Excellent - and yes, I was disappointingly surprised at BB's restraint hehe

I can see why the left 'the C word' out of the trailer. It would lessen the impact if you went into the show knowing that he's going to use it as liberally as he does.
