This is just not true, and you can figure it by thinking for 10 seconds, but didn't
A writer can think for days, weeks, months for a plan his character will come up in seconds, he can use resources the character doesn't have

You’re working under the false assumption that your hypothetical writer has the ability to parse all that information. Unless you can provide evidence to the contrary I can’t think of a single example of a character, and by extension the creation of a writer, that plays a convincing “super smart” persona.

What's the beef between Mother Milk & Soldier Boy again?
>MM's father died cause he worked overtime trying to pursue vought because of collateral damage that SB caused
So you be saying cause the one Black guy in the universe who had a father that wasn't shot robbing an 7/11 had to make his entire guilt about race war because some asshat who didn't give a fuck about anything was protected by huge corporation?
Like why the fuck isn't MM upset at vought and wanting to kill edgar when he had the chance, after all he is part of the system that allowed SB to remain unaccountable during his hero shenanigans. Also what about the courts and local politicians that signed on with vought to have supes remain untouchable during their patrols? Why does this black man want to make his case about race war shit when they had other "racist" supes like the blue hawk going around kill the black community, why wasn't MM going after that race supremacist supe?
>>
>>220505985
To be pedantic about this, the claim was that the writer can't write a character smarter than them. You don't need to write an ultramegasupergenius for it to quality as being a character smarter than you.
>>
>>220505613
That's fair, and I think the writers actually do know they're too retarded to write a supe as smart as homelander is powerful which is why there are so few scenes with her. Nevertheless they can't avoid the trap entirely like you said. Imagine the mindfuck of trying to write a show she was the lead in, she's like an order of magnitude past Sherlock Holmes. It's questionable that she didn't just make herself a giga serum or build a moonbase.

Writing a super smart character isn't that difficult. You just need to write your plot around that character. It requires good drafts and a plan and some foresight.

It becomes a problem with TV shows though, because you have strict writing deadline, story lines that often run longer than they should, other characters you have to service, actors you need to take into account, contracts you need to oblige.

It's literally that worm writer character. Sage is supposed to be super smart, but the writer is probably given 2 weeks to write the script and they have to tie up multiple characters plots, they have to write in a Supernatural reunion, they have to set up 5 new characters for a spin off. They need to make plotlines for all the remaining characters. Actors demand X amount of screentime. Producers want X amount of this and that.

That said, the whole can't logic with love is pretty shit. They should have just had her have multiple back up plans, reveal that she had been feeding the Boys the plan to give Kimiko the chest blast power was her plan all along or some shit. Although that plot is pretty shit too.

They did the same thing with the old Jewish guy last episode. He’s a weasel who only talks about banging countless people in the golden age, and somehow his honesty is enough to convince Homelander to let him just walk away.

I think I understand sage

She is the writers/show runner self insert. They are part of the smartest people in the world but as marginalised people nobody will listen to them. Sage wants whites to go at war with themselves because of their arrogance and deep hatred of colors. Also sages break down over love isn't about soldier boy but the the writers not understanding the audiences love for characters like Stormfront, Homelander & Soldier Boy even though they are meant to be evil characters.
It makes much more sense when you think about it like that
>>
>>220502977
She unironically was right about everything. Soldier Boy giving Homelander the V1 because they both fucked Stormfront was fucking RETARDED. She was literally so smart she outsmarted the bad writing.

>>220502977
The key to writing a smart character is to effectively make the harbinger of the plot and be a force for the story but to be able to properly fit it into the confines of the narrative in an organic way or at the very least obfuscate it. Say you have a schemer character who comes up with a play to get a bunch of people to do something. You will not have them outright explain it but show them interacting with them while subtly hinting shit and trying to convince them all individually to go along with something while presenting it in the narrative as being done independently of him until a later point. Also add in little things here and there to hint at his plan like say a book he has nearby or him doing something which on the surface looks like him playing his own role in the greater “group” plan but in actuality he is facilitating part of his scheme.
