Starlight's allies... or enemies?<\/p>\n
They're mysterious, they're loaded, and they already kinda rule the world... so Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Elon Musk pretty much tick all the movie villain boxes.<\/p>\n
But in the world of \"The Boys\", where the line between good guys and bad guys is a little blurred on which side of the divide would the trio fall?<\/p>\n
Erin Moriarty, who plays Starlight on the Amazon Prime hit series, had no hesitation giving her opinion... on two of them anyway, as Jeff Bezos is technically her boss:<\/p>\n
\"Oh that's an interesting question and I feel like the Amazon snipers will shoot me down if I answer that,\" she dodged with superhero-like reflexes.<\/p>\n
The other two, she insisted while leaving Zinque Cafe in LA recently, are definite good guys.<\/p>\n
\"Honestly I like Bill Gates and what he does with vaccines,\" she said, \"and I think even though Elon Musk is heavily criticized I have a feeling he's going to make a better impact on the world than most of us, in terms of the environment, so I'm not for the vilification of Elon Musk.... I like an electric car!\"<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old shrugged off criticism Bezos and Musk faced for dallying in a personal space race while the planet we have suffers, or Gates calling for climate change from the top of his super yacht (which are all pretty supervillain-sounding pursuits, to be fair).<\/p>\n

\"Yeah I know, I know,\" she sighed. \"I do feel like though ultimately with what [Gates] does with the vaccine world, and Elon Musk like I said with the whole environment...\"<\/p>\n
\"I think Starlight would try and just work in conjunction with Elon Musk and all the things that he does with the environment.\"<\/p>\n
While \"The Boys\" features plenty of female butt-kickers both good and bad such as Queen Maeve, Stormfront, Kimiko, and of course, Starlight herself, Moriarty agrees the \"damsel in distress\" is a tired TV trope that still needs putting to bed.<\/p>\n
\"I think we've seen enough strong men in strong roles, period,\" she declared. \"I think we need more women in strong roles for about a century to overcompensate for the men taking up that arena, to be honest.\"<\/p>\n
And will the upcoming season 3 of \"The Boys\" feature even more diverse roles?<\/p>\n
\"Yes but that's all I can say,\" she replied. \"Otherwise again, I'll lose my job.\"<\/p>\n
