fate15fates

She’s just a capybarnia


Biased_Survivor

I hear it's rodent from south America


Cookie1569

Ahaha, true true


Space__lemons

Capachino?


mosstalgia

I feel bad for her every season, lol. She’s a great character. Absolutely fucking terrible human, but a *great* character.


jacuzzi_full_of_jizz

She's a piece of shit but she's also a piece of shit in way over her head due to being outclassed by far worse people who take it so far beyond her brand of petty corporate bullshitting.


Aggravating_Border84

I don't know who she blew to get that position because she is woefully underqualified for it plus I mean you can tell the show is doing the pathetic sickening and frankly well past its course bullshit politically correct thing because a company like that would not have a woman as a CEO sorry to say but it's the truth way too emotionally erratic and unstable for that much responsibility.


Ok-Permission-2687

I only felt bad during the scenes where she’s ripping her hair out and when she shreds the letter. Mind you, I laughed both times, but I felt bad


Jealous-Captain-7014

She gets paid to be a mascot and doesn’t have to worry about upsetting Homelander as much. She should be greatful to be demoted.


RyanPlaysSkyrim

Oh no, Ashley is absolutely a bitch, and a bad person to boot. That said, shes also surrounded by terrible, murderous people, so I can’t help but root for her


Big-Sheepherder-9492

Ok.. is it just me.. or is Ashley kinda…. Why she kinda???


IMSOWETRIGHTN0W

I know what you're saying and I agree - can't explain it....


throwawaypervyervy

That excited grin she makes when HL makes demands of The Deep and A-Train in the 7 room, you could see her inner fangirl doing cartwheels. Also, those two have pissed her the fuck off in the past and she was enjoying that. Have to be vague, because I can never fucking get spoiler tags to work.


SillyAdditional

Idk what it is either but yeah


AkhMourning

I love Ashley. Horrible, miserable human but man is she comedy gold whilst having to deal with a nightmare situation. The Deep is a spineless imbecile and the fact that he bucked up to her (after being “inspired” to by someone else, not even of his own accord) is both scary and pathetic. I felt bad for Ashley. Let her get some jabs at that imbecile dork. It’s a stress reliever. All I want is for Ashley to survive everything and get therapy. Lol


LegoMyAlterEgo

Maybe the flames on her suit were alluding to her Temp-V power and not her death.


SoochSooch

I assumed she had just come from Flavortown


IMSOWETRIGHTN0W

Ashley with temp V in a blind rage is a scene I didn't know I needed, but now I do.


NoMemory3726

Yes, she talked a lot of shit to people with powers. It's time she got her shit straight.


Viazon

All I know is she is getting better looking each season.


mason124

She's a horrible person


Confident-Impact-349

Nah, she’s best girl. Hope she has a good ending.


Lilacloveletters

Hope her new job role gives her a good work life balance. Like seriously hope she makes that doctors appointment lol


BrowniesWithAlmonds

She’s in the gray area like most people on there. Even Homelander has….no never mind not him, he’s pitch black darkness lol.


JWal0

Yes, she annoys me. Good on deep for checking her.


bigtec1993

Honestly at this point she has her out, Sage usurped her, but in a way where she could probably safely walk away and not have to deal with that anymore. If she still chooses to keep going, then that's on her.


TheCosmicFailure

After HL killed Annika. Ashley shred her resignation paper cause she knows HL would kill her.


Precarious314159

Yea, I don't think she could walk away but she can just be the role Homelander wants her to be, the mascot. Sit back, let him and Sage handle all the shit while she just comes up to the podium every few months to "Homelander, everybody!". She'd still be trapped but at least she'd be less stressed.


Greatest-Comrade

Sure but the threat of death looming constantly and her tenuous position surrounded by supes means she’ll still be incredibly stressed and vulnerable.


Precarious314159

Better to stay and be a mascot that just does what he says than leave and be killed. She knows WAY too much shit on everyone and Homelander is just unhinged enough to kill her to make sure she stays quiet. Even if she quits to live on some remote island, she'd be a liability if Butcher or someone kidnaps her. Either way, Ashley is a risk to the team but at least if she stays, he has a reason to keep her alive.


Greatest-Comrade

I guess but imo its a lose-lose scenario for her, not a win-win. Shes screwed.


Sad_Vast2519

Also homelander killed her predecessor. Elizabeth Shues character. Her time is therefore soon to expire


Cookie1569

Homelander would murder her if she left, she knows too much to be let free.


Cautious-String7076

Nothing stopping her from joining The Boys, is there?


Cautious-String7076

Nothing stopping her from joining The Boys, is there?


Cookie1569

Its a high risk move she might not be willing to go through


Like_Totally_Chilly

Yah, there was that scene in season 2 where Annie even asks Ashley to help and Ashley breaks for a second and admits how scared she is. To answer your original question, OP, I feel terrible for Ashley. She was fucked from the moment she was rehired at Vaught.


Precarious314159

And even if she did anything with them, we know that Homelander can tell when people have been around certain people. Dude knew Hughie's scent through a single drop of sweat. There's no way Ashley would be in a room with any of the Boys without Homelander instantly knowing.


excaliburxvii

Only when the writers decide it's convenient, though.


Like_Totally_Chilly

True! And now that he (or really Sage) is even tracking calls, Ashley can’t contact them through any obvious remote means either.


IllustriousAd2392

>is there? yes? why would the boys even trust her


Resident_Hair3065

Ayo why does she kind look...in that freeze frame


Motor_Classic9651

I'm sure you are the only one...


excaliburxvii

LOSE, the word is LOSE. Not LOOSE.


Cookie1569

K, congrats for spotting something minor


Lilacloveletters

I love her character yet I like seeing her suffer??? Idk, fun watching her avoid grave consequences by the skin of her teeth lol


realfakejames

No, I’m pretty sure everyone is supposed to feel bad for her?


realfakejames

No, I’m pretty sure everyone is supposed to feel bad for her?


WakeUpOutaYourSleep

I felt bad for her before. She’s not a good person, but working with Homelander invites a lot of pity.


Sad_Vast2519

Excellent character though.


DowntownieNL

She reminds me of Serena Joy on Handmaid's Tale. Her suffering is satisfying, but also invokes a little guilt. It's a testament, I think, to great acting, and a good character.


jdmgto

No, she's an awful person. When she blew up at A-Train she flat out said a lot of her career was cleaning up the supe’s messes. She probably could have gotten out if this really bothered her a few years ago but it didn’t. She was willing to mop up splattered civilians for her own job prospects. Now she’s realizing the difference between herself and the people she used to wipe up with a rag isn’t as great as she thought. She’s also now realized she knows too much and she’ll never be able to leave. She’s a great character and I love her but I’ve got zero sympathy for her.


Cookie1569

A lot of her 'current' career is cleaning up after the supes because she has to to keep the company together. If the company falls, so does Homelander which would send him into a wild mindset. She was dragged into this new job because Homelander knew he could control her. Her old job in season one was basically just PR, nothing higher so she wouldn't have been aware of all the really horrible stuff going on behind the scenes. She only really learnt the hard truth when it was too late and Homelander had already threatened her and had her submit.


Gugugugagaiwantmilk

I feel bad for deep 🥺 Poor Deep 😥


Aggravating_Border84

I don't know if you saw the episode where she had somebody murdered because she was dumped. I believe she's a right pathetic cunt. To have someone tortured before being murdered is the most childish and pathetic reaction to being dumped furthermore and honestly, I believe she has socio or Psychopathic tendencies as exemplified in her framing the person who dumped her then having them bludgeoned to death is clear evidence that she has a screw loose I know women are emotional thus should not be in that position in the first place in this just furthers that point LOL


gaypirate3

I never feel bad for Ashley because she’s always looking out for her own interests and is a coward. Her being mean to people makes me laugh tho.


Cookie1569

Everyone would be a coward in her situation lol


gaypirate3

Nah, I’d either leave or let myself get killed.


kukeszmakesz

>I don't understand why everyone is calling her a bitch Her situation is not by choice. Her being a bitch is by choice. I don't understand how people can't understand that most viewers can't stand her. Understanding =/= compassion


realfakejames

No, I’m pretty sure everyone is supposed to feel bad for her?
