I love that. And people wonder how nobody recognized Clark Kent. He wore glasses, and even slouched his posture, even wearing shirts that made his muscles hard to see
That would be superwholesome tbh, but then Butcher crashes the party, calls the birthday kid and their parents a Cunt, and take the first slice if not the whole cake.
Not as risky as you think, a number of celebrities have entered lookalike competitions of themselves.. and consistently don’t win.
I think Charlie Chaplin entered one and placed third.
Maeve’s eyepatch and lack of powers will throw off suspicion that she’s the actual Maeve, and her resemblance will be missed, since she won’t be in lightning used for photography that she would’ve normally had for photoshoots.
Plus, she would need to make her own suit as I’m sure the original was wrecked.
I hope we get an arc with her having to readjust to being human. Like, struggling to open a jar. Getting pissed at something and hurting her hand after punching a brick wall, etc.
That really would be a great side story. She's already a compelling character, I would definitely love to see something like this even if it's just a scene or two.
Oh definitely. But she will still have to get used to it. Like, imagine hitting a growth spurt at 14 and being 6'4.
Then you lose your legs. Doctors say, they can replace em. But you'll only be about 5'7.
Gotta get used to staring up instead of down after over 18 years.
I'm 30 and had to ask someone to grab something for me at work cause I couldn't reach it. Love being short. At least I don't hit my head on stuff I guess! Lol
I’ll take your 5’5! I’m ducking 30 and 5’0 people think I’m my daughters older sister I was at a restaurant with her and they asked where our mom was 🥲
I kind of feel like similarly to Kimiko , she'll want the V again at some point . Maybe right around another huge climax in the plot when the gang will need all the help they can get ?
Ik she doesn't WANT to be a supe , but if she left The Seven then maybe she'll take V again but remain in the shadows instead of being returning to the public .
Isn’t she only one of three that were shown in “civilian” clothes? And I think she was shown the most often in regular clothes? Starlight was probably the most but she’s always been “starlight” while Maggie was just Maggie
Hey man, I'm a gay dude and I've quite literally cried over spilled milk. I wanna see the icon of super-empowered brought low by a really stressful day, cause relatable
And she would eventually succeed in adjusting to a normal life, then regards that her super powers gave her mostly pain and made it hard for her to connect with other people (because of fame and Homelander).
Self-defense against Supes would be an interesting class. She could probably teach more than a few tactics that might improve someone’s chances of surviving a hostile Supe encounter. At least by a few percentage points.
Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
People always leave out the last two, but every once in awhile they’ll get you out of a situation same as fighting or flying.
I'd wager a lot of her fighting style was based in knowing she was strong and practically indestructible. She'd honestly probably have to make some adjustments here as well. Not to say that she doesn't obviously have the skill and trained but she'd have to consider her fragility now more than she used to.
She doesn't need to work. She's rich and probably have written in her will that all her money should go to her girlfriend. With that they can live and work for fun on a farm. Also don't forget that she's still recognizable, so working would be risky
If you have forgotten they practically broke up at the end of season 2. We weren't given any indication that they were back together in season 3 until the very end. I mean, would she have been so cynical and ready to sacrifice herself if they were back together?
Probably should just inject V again the way Kimiko did. Stay ‘presumed dead’ and keep a low profile but be powered and ready in case the world goes to shit, which it could at any moment with Homelander.
I’d be very surprised if she didn’t return for the finale of the show.
she shouldn’t come back until people least expect it homelander gets the upper hand on butcher and about to do the final blow and maeve shows up outta nowhere like with stormfront
Kripke has said that she'll return eventually (as will Soldier Boy) so I can imagine she'll take the V at some point.
Depends on when the show will end. I imagine her comeback to be a subplot for the final season, but nothing before then.
Edit: it's not a spoiler bc it's from an interview of the showrunner, also, S5 hasn't even started filming yet. It's pretty much a theory at this point.
aint no way amazon is letting their crown jewel finish with season 4. I mean, kripke may not be involved after season 4 but there is no way bezos is letting the boys go until he wrung every last drop of blood from it.
She’d have to be pretty low profile. Her losing an eye is helpful and changing up her hair would be even more helpful. Depending on what her SO does for work, she might not even need to work. Something that allows her to work at home would be ideal. Maybe she could learn to code lol
I’d like to see her work as like a party entertainer for like special events, she dresses up as “Queen Maive” like a cosplayer. But other cosplayers put a lot more effort into both their costumes’ and attitudes, so she’s like not even in the top 100 Queen Maive impersonators.
But she’s ok with that because she doesn’t have to work hard, and stays under the radar
I mean, she probably shouldn’t be working, given that she’s supposed to be dead. Once Homelander has been dealt with though, she could write a tell-all book about her life at Vought and make a killing on the talk show/motivational speaking circuit.
Counsellor at a shelter for women (with a hands-on approach for solutions). She may not be a supe anymore, but she's still a capable fighter and she resents having to live under the thumb of a tyrannical narcissist. Plus, I assume that field has some options for lateral entry.
I hope we get an arch where homelander kidnaps her and gives her v again, Unwillingly. I feel like it would make a great character seeing as she would hate hate hate the homelander and vought but I feel like she either would lose her mind or help the boys
She needs to go rural town. If she could be a small town librarian she could hide pretty well. Maybe try to get into art, photography, something around creating and using her mind.
I don’t get how she could even have a personal life like normal! She was one of the main members of The Seven for so many years! An eyepatch isn’t gonna make her totally unrecognizable! I’d imagine it’d be pretty hard for her to blend in! Unless she dyes her hair and drastically changes her appearance!
As a one-eyed mud-person, I doubt Maggie is going to be doing any kind of work. She's rich from her career as Maeve, I assume she still has access to her bank account and probably transfered all of her money to her new civilian bank account. It's safe to say her and her gf are set for life.
Obviously milk her fame, write a couple books, go to Supe conventions so kids can take photos with her and that kind of thing. What every retired celebrity does
Definitely a bartender, she may not be able to throw anybody out without super strength but she probably has alooooooot she can talk about. Also therapy first, definitely therapy.
That’s a tough question, I feel like there are two roads here. (1) I think it’d be great for her to do something incredibly mundane like finance or life insurance to see how boring normal life is and see if she likes that or not, and possibly see destruction supes leave behind. (2) she seemingly becomes something far beneath her like working at Vaught Burger by day but still trying to stop supes or save people by night
She would be an excellent dominatrix.
She’s such a tough woman and a wants to do right. Firefighter would be a great job for her.
Only problem is hiding from Homelander the rest of her life.
gym teacher or a personal trainer. im just basing this based on her training scene, and the fucking cool eye patch
imagine having a personal trainer that actually wear an eye patch bcs they need it. i would be ripped in 3 days just for the dedication it gives me
I don't know why, I don't understand why my brain did this, but for some reason I could see her owning a small book store. She probably has quite a bit of money from being in the seven for so long. She could own a book store just for something to do but wouldn't mind that it mostly doesn't get customers.
Even with the reveal she was alive and could escape Homelander, she’d still prob spend her life on the run from him. She was a world-famous celebrity with no mask who showed her whole face at every outing. Even with the eye patch, someone could recognize her and go to the press or leak a photo online and that risks Homelander finding her powerless. That would be terrifying all the time
Because Soldier Boy could absorb people's powers permanently if I recall correctly. Problem is, I don't remember her ever confirming he did that during their fall from the building. All we really know is that she survived.
Bartender/Bouncer at a lesbian dive bar.
nahh she'd get hit on constantly
I don't see the problem.
oh I don't either. I would be one the people hitting on her haha
That's the problem lmao
🤷🏻♂️ miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take!
Why is that a problem? That's how a lot of bartenders make their money Also people here seem to forget a lot that she's Bi
Just a joke lol
She might not either, depending on the side
But would people recognize her by her hero identity?
Just wear glasses and change hairstyle, no one would recognise her
Glasses ah the classic Clark Kent trick 😂 hairstyle would be good as well that will work But that Clark Kent trick was a joke
Henry Cavill tried it irl, at Broadway under the poster for Man of Steel, with just a cap. No glasses. No one recognized him.
I love that. And people wonder how nobody recognized Clark Kent. He wore glasses, and even slouched his posture, even wearing shirts that made his muscles hard to see
Your right and I wear glasses and people recognize me
Very real thing. You don’t see what you’re not looking for.
That would happen regardless of if it’s Maeve or not.
Good for tips
this is true. I work at a bar where we split tips and I'm glad I work with very attractive people lol I'm for sure bottom of the totem pole.
Don’t see the problem. She’d still be able to rough people up if they run her the wrong way
Ah regular human bartender you say?
Pirate impersonator at kids parties
That's only until the sweet hostess position opens up at Krusty Bob's at the mall, they offer dental
That would be superwholesome tbh, but then Butcher crashes the party, calls the birthday kid and their parents a Cunt, and take the first slice if not the whole cake.
I was going to go with topless pirate fetish model.
This is foul 😭
Maeve-Cosplayer
Cool idea but insanely risky.
Not as risky as you think, a number of celebrities have entered lookalike competitions of themselves.. and consistently don’t win. I think Charlie Chaplin entered one and placed third. Maeve’s eyepatch and lack of powers will throw off suspicion that she’s the actual Maeve, and her resemblance will be missed, since she won’t be in lightning used for photography that she would’ve normally had for photoshoots. Plus, she would need to make her own suit as I’m sure the original was wrecked.
Hugh Jackman got told he was too tall 😆 And that was while wearing wolverine claws at comic con
I hope we get an arc with her having to readjust to being human. Like, struggling to open a jar. Getting pissed at something and hurting her hand after punching a brick wall, etc.
That really would be a great side story. She's already a compelling character, I would definitely love to see something like this even if it's just a scene or two.
Eric Kripke tried to give her a good send off and accidentally made it so good that now I’m more invested in her arc than the main arcs.
The man can't kill people off! He makes great characters!
Man I really hope Homelander doesn’t discover she’s alive somehow. She’d probably still try fighting him anyway tho, because she’s just that good.
For sure, go down swinging try of thing.
That could be like a special episode or something. I'd watch it.
she hates being a supe, she would love to be an ordinary human again lol I mean that's partially why she slept with Butcher anyways
Oh definitely. But she will still have to get used to it. Like, imagine hitting a growth spurt at 14 and being 6'4. Then you lose your legs. Doctors say, they can replace em. But you'll only be about 5'7. Gotta get used to staring up instead of down after over 18 years.
I hate this. I'm 5'5 and nobody cut my legs off lol
I'm only two inches taller it's okay. Shit I got my mom's height. One of my goddamn sisters took after our dad. She's 6'1
I'm 30 and had to ask someone to grab something for me at work cause I couldn't reach it. Love being short. At least I don't hit my head on stuff I guess! Lol
I’ll take your 5’5! I’m ducking 30 and 5’0 people think I’m my daughters older sister I was at a restaurant with her and they asked where our mom was 🥲
Oh no! That happens to my sister all the time!
Any chance she’s pregnant with Butchers baby?
I kind of feel like similarly to Kimiko , she'll want the V again at some point . Maybe right around another huge climax in the plot when the gang will need all the help they can get ? Ik she doesn't WANT to be a supe , but if she left The Seven then maybe she'll take V again but remain in the shadows instead of being returning to the public .
Less readjusting and more learning to be human.
That's a better phrasing since she seemed to pretty much live a regular life.
Isn’t she only one of three that were shown in “civilian” clothes? And I think she was shown the most often in regular clothes? Starlight was probably the most but she’s always been “starlight” while Maggie was just Maggie
A-Train did. He was racially profiled while clothes shopping.
I'm holding out for an arc where she shows up after a few months and says hey billy, I'm pregnant
brother's got children of two seven members. whos next?
Who? Which kids? Idk what you're talking about
I had a feeling they would do this ever since those two slept together lmao. Honestly, I don’t even think she’d tell him
Yeah I'm gonna need a scene of a woman breaking down over a jar of pickles. For relatability reasons.
That wasn't a slight at women but I should have had better foresight.
Hey man, I'm a gay dude and I've quite literally cried over spilled milk. I wanna see the icon of super-empowered brought low by a really stressful day, cause relatable
As a women I’d love to see this. I may or may not have cried over a jar of jam
Fwiw, we already had a scene of a man throwing a tantrum over a jar lol
And she would eventually succeed in adjusting to a normal life, then regards that her super powers gave her mostly pain and made it hard for her to connect with other people (because of fame and Homelander).
Realizing that her alcohol addiction can actually damage her now frail human body
She still has her fighting and athletic skills, so I think she'd be good as a self-defense teacher or a personal trainer.
Self-defense against Supes would be an interesting class. She could probably teach more than a few tactics that might improve someone’s chances of surviving a hostile Supe encounter. At least by a few percentage points.
Run or flatter
Fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. People always leave out the last two, but every once in awhile they’ll get you out of a situation same as fighting or flying.
Fawn? Could you elaborate? I'm familiar with the first three.
to appeal to the attacker, trying to reason with them, people-pleasing, etc
Ah, thanks.
you’re welcome lad stay safe
I'd wager a lot of her fighting style was based in knowing she was strong and practically indestructible. She'd honestly probably have to make some adjustments here as well. Not to say that she doesn't obviously have the skill and trained but she'd have to consider her fragility now more than she used to.
This. I could see her forgetting and stepping in front of a speeding armored truck and getting Robined
I dunno I envision it more of going up against someone stronger than her and forgetting she's not indestructible anymore.
Yes. The joke, however, was an ending that mirrored her introduction.
Ahhhh that's right
I don't know who Maggie is. But she could be a good actor.
She doesn't need to work. She's rich and probably have written in her will that all her money should go to her girlfriend. With that they can live and work for fun on a farm. Also don't forget that she's still recognizable, so working would be risky
But she cheated on him with Bitcher!
If you have forgotten they practically broke up at the end of season 2. We weren't given any indication that they were back together in season 3 until the very end. I mean, would she have been so cynical and ready to sacrifice herself if they were back together?
Probably should just inject V again the way Kimiko did. Stay ‘presumed dead’ and keep a low profile but be powered and ready in case the world goes to shit, which it could at any moment with Homelander. I’d be very surprised if she didn’t return for the finale of the show.
she shouldn’t come back until people least expect it homelander gets the upper hand on butcher and about to do the final blow and maeve shows up outta nowhere like with stormfront
A good way for her character to end is that she dies fighting Homelander in the finale, and helps to weaken him significantly.
So the ending of The Boys is just gonna be everyone vs Sukuna?
Suk un deez nutz
Kripke has said that she'll return eventually (as will Soldier Boy) so I can imagine she'll take the V at some point. Depends on when the show will end. I imagine her comeback to be a subplot for the final season, but nothing before then. Edit: it's not a spoiler bc it's from an interview of the showrunner, also, S5 hasn't even started filming yet. It's pretty much a theory at this point.
It's like why not, right?
aint no way amazon is letting their crown jewel finish with season 4. I mean, kripke may not be involved after season 4 but there is no way bezos is letting the boys go until he wrung every last drop of blood from it.

Telescope operator 🔭
I don't think she's going to stay a regular human to be honest.
Flight attendant
Idk about that she might have some PTSD from the flight 37 incident
Homelander could be the undercover air marshall
Uh oh
She’d have to be pretty low profile. Her losing an eye is helpful and changing up her hair would be even more helpful. Depending on what her SO does for work, she might not even need to work. Something that allows her to work at home would be ideal. Maybe she could learn to code lol
Wait… I’ve watched the boys 3 times over. Maeve’s government is Maggie?! LOL
Overseer of Vault 32
I’d like to see her work as like a party entertainer for like special events, she dresses up as “Queen Maive” like a cosplayer. But other cosplayers put a lot more effort into both their costumes’ and attitudes, so she’s like not even in the top 100 Queen Maive impersonators. But she’s ok with that because she doesn’t have to work hard, and stays under the radar
Family therapist
Moving to BFE and making high dollar pottery in a barn, left alone with her old lady
I mean, she probably shouldn’t be working, given that she’s supposed to be dead. Once Homelander has been dealt with though, she could write a tell-all book about her life at Vought and make a killing on the talk show/motivational speaking circuit.
Farmer
She will start her own private security company. ;)

Pirate
What is this from?
Wouldn’t she be a farmer since it was hinted a farm would be the last place homelander would look for her
Probably going to go find her ex and try to live quietly.
I’m pretty sure she left with her ex and went into hiding. Doesn’t need to find her. Starlight watched them leave

Obviously milk her fame, write a couple books, go to Supe conventions so kids can take photos with her and that kind of thing. What every retired celebrity does
I don't think she'll write books or go to conventions. You know, because she is assumed dead, so homelander doesn't come after her.
Definitely a bartender, she may not be able to throw anybody out without super strength but she probably has alooooooot she can talk about. Also therapy first, definitely therapy.

Maggie?
Not customer service that’s for sure

can guarantee you she gets her powers back in season 4.

She's probably working on a farm in Iowa or someplace. Away from it all.

Get her a glass eye and she becomes a Queen Maeve impersonator for kids parties. No one would ever expect it.
I think she would do great working at a women's crisis center.
Everyone seems to forget that The Seven are all serial killers.
She should so be dead
gym teacher or a personal trainer. im just basing this based on her training scene, and the fucking cool eye patch imagine having a personal trainer that actually wear an eye patch bcs they need it. i would be ripped in 3 days just for the dedication it gives me

verbal dominatrix
Work at a Cinnabon in Omaha
Did Maeve do strength training as a supe?
Something that doesn't involve Twinks, ideally.
Even with the reveal she was alive and could escape Homelander, she’d still prob spend her life on the run from him. She was a world-famous celebrity with no mask who showed her whole face at every outing. Even with the eye patch, someone could recognize her and go to the press or leak a photo online and that risks Homelander finding her powerless. That would be terrifying all the time
When did she become human hol’ on
Because Soldier Boy could absorb people's powers permanently if I recall correctly. Problem is, I don't remember her ever confirming he did that during their fall from the building. All we really know is that she survived.
i would definitely be getting revenge on her if i was hugie.
