I just watched seasons 1 through 4, so I'm happy to talk about anything from the show. It's all fresh in my mind.
Like why did fives blinking teleportation power change in season 4? I don't know, it seems like something we should really dig into
Most of them had their powers changed.
power changes
Allison got telekinesis, Lila got laser eyes that are just by coincidence exactly the same as Homelander's from The Boys, and Five as you said started teleporting to the multiverse subway. I also think, though I didn't double check, that Ben used to have tentacles come out of his belly/chest and it changed to come out of his back.There may have been other changes that I've missed, but I think Diego for example keeps the same power, maybe just a bit powered up.
Do you think the powers changed because they were getting older, and more experience with the powers?
Or did they get their power changes because of
hibachi
The spiked sake shot at the hibachi restaurant? Did the second dosage give The randomized powers? Or were the powers always within themI understand ben getting weird extra powers because he took a bunch of extra shots. That makes sense
Diego feels like the least powerful member of the crew, the most angsty
My interpretation
Their powers changed because the marigold wasn't in them for all those years. Their 'potential powers' within them drifted, and they were only locked in to their new powers when they drank the marigold. In other words, their powers can only change while they don't have them - when they have powers, they stay the same (but can be improved a lot through training as we've seen).I don't think being mixed with another drink has anything to do with it
But it's all open to interpretation anyway :)
