From an interview Kripke did last year — maybe this is why there's so much Vought Rising stuff in Season 5
Can we get Annie a single win before the show ends?
I finally caught up with the latest episode and it was so laughable that Starlight gets dunked once again by a hero that she should theoretically be able to counter (speed of light being faster than sound and all that). It really would've been such a cool way to give her a nice win this season while also taking Oh Father out of the picture, reducing some of the plot threads that need to now be addressed with just two episodes remaining.
S4 ends with her being able to fly all of a sudden and it felt like they were hinting at her gaining a new mastery of her abilities but so far we haven't really seen her do anything interesting with them, besides maybe using them as a diversion in episode 1. And that's kind of a shame because her powers really did just amount to being a party trick for most of the series.
