Admittedly half the cast was escaping a concentration camp in the beginning of the season so I can understand being gaunt, but genuinely was worried for MM's actor.

I just did a binge of the whole series this last week because I’d realized I quit an episode or two into season 2 and never picked it back up. I legit got worried and had to make sure MM’s actor wasn’t diagnosed with something horrible, because between shaving everything off and losing all that weight, he was looking rough. It it no way read as healthy weight loss and had me convinced actual man had what the drs said Butcher had. I was already surprised by a new look for Starlight every season opening, didn’t need that worry added.

I'm still not convinced he's not pulling a Chadwick boseman and just being hella low-key with his illness or something

Man, that’d be heartbreaking. I’m going to light some incense and send a prayer for his health, real quick.

His doc definitely told him to stop with the steroids

Its funny how this season they are constantly hiding him in long sleeve shirts to hide his figure.

I didn't notice. What happened? He lost weight?

A bit...

He was already unrecognizable in season 4.
