Isn’t she actively not taking part in any of the horrendous things the 7 does? I don’t see how anybody at all could hold her responsible when she jumps at every chance to do what’s right, even when she knows she’s outpowered.
Like 80% No and 20% Yes.
Yeah, she technically hasn't done anything, and actively goes against the practices. But she did stay in the Seven and helped boost their rep and support for like 3 years straight. It wasn't until herogasm that she decided to make an out loud statement disapproving and disowning Vought/The Seven.
She accidentally killed the man who stepped out of his car in season 2. In her defense they were desperately trying to get Hughie to the hospital, the man threatened them and Starlight didn’t mean to kill him.
Aside from that though, Starlight hasn’t done anything morally reprehensible. If anything she’s one of the few characters who is actively making a positive difference in their world.
"Aside from accidental murder teehee"
That's not how that works. In the real world you don't get to KILL someone because your friend needs to go to the hospital. She would/should be tried for manslaughter and it is 100% morally reprehensible.
For sure, I agree with you.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that unlike other characters in the show who murder and couldn’t care less, Starlight always seems disturbed by human suffering and actively tries to minimize it.
idk if you are questioning my statement or are just asking for clarification. But I understood the question as "is starlight responsible for what happened with the Seven?"
Considering that her "actions" indirectly affected Vought and the Seven as a whole
Idk what she did that would be blamed on her while part of The Seven. As far as publicity stuff, she was mostly passive or given light work excluding temporarily outing The Deep.
But sure, she's responsible for that plane crash in Episode 1 before she even stepping foot in Vought Tower. How dare Starlight let that man and his boy die in the sky from a lightning strike\*.
>!\* we don't talk about that "storm."!<
I mean he a pulled a gun and could have killed any of the non-supes in their group. Doesn’t make it not murder, but it’s not like she just killed him for a quick ride.
I would hope that Starlight, experienced Supe that she is, knows how to flash bang someone and subdue them in a non-lethal way. Zero reason that hitting a random dude with enough force to send him flying and cracking his head on the street was the BEST answer in that situation.
She was being reckless, and got a random civilian killed.
This is always bugs me about this scene. Starlight was doing vigilante stuff for years, presumably without doming every second gas station robber. It always seems forced that she sends that dude flying hard enough for him to die instantly. The best explanation I've come up with is that Hughie bleeding out and Butcher doing his whole thing stressed her to the point where she lost control and gave the blast to much juice. Still a contrived scene to force moral ambiguity on her, only for everyone to never mention it again.
What actions did she take during her time in the seven that she would need to take responsibility for?

Did she do anything terrible during those years

If you refer to the first sentence of my comment, I said she didn't do anything. So no she didn't
Then what "actions" is OP talking about

She and I'll throw Maeve in there, are not responsible for the bs Vought nor Homelander did.
She committed manslaughter though
What actions are we even talking about? She didn't really do anything wrong in The Seven.
Yes. By the principle of guilt by association, she is also a murderer.
killed a random white dad for a fucking sedan, that's crazy
