The Handmaid’s Tale gives ample details about the lives of all the characters, but it majorly inches forward on the shoulders of June Osborne. While she is a strong-willed and tough woman, she has done many things which seem too larger than life and super hero-ish.

Seeing the kind of stunts she and a few other major characters pull off sometimes, the show should have been declared to be super-heroic in nature long ago. Today, we shall share with you ten such moments when this brilliant show felt like just another superhero series.

Season Two Finale

Throughout season one and two, June kept trying desperately to flee from Gilead, but when the opportunity presented itself, she just handed her baby over to Emily and turned back towards Gilead with a steely glint of determination in her eyes which could very easily be a fool’s errand too. We wonder what caused this ambition that she didn’t even once think about the infant child and Luke, when she was well aware that Hannah was in safe hands for the time being. She could have come again with some help through the illegal route back to Gilead for her first born.

Baby Nichole

The second season was rapt with the details about feeding baby Nichole and how important it was for the Waterfords and June too, to feed the baby and be with her. June wanted to escape with her so much so that with a pretty ripe belly, she tried to shatter the garage door of Commander MacKenzie's summer house shortly before giving birth to her at the same place. She even promised the child to take off with her and be with her always, in the hospital. And yet, she just offered the baby to Emily without batting an eye as to how she would feed during the long journey to Canada.

Highly Unpragmatic Design

Handmaid's Tale

So, the season three finale was incredibly satisfying to watch, although, highly unpragmatic. However, the impractical aspect of this plan didn’t draw much attention because in a dark show like the Handmaid’s Tale, you grab all the love from wherever you can. And that we did. June planned to smuggle not one, not two, but, more than fifty-two children to safety, all at once and there is but one lone eye at the airport, inspite of the fact that the gaurdians of the whole town knew something was up and so, they were investigating house to house in search of the kidnapped Kiki.

Another odd thing was the act of throwing stones on the guardian by the handmaids when June could easily kill him off with one shot and probably could take off herself along with the other fellow HMs.

Killing Commander Winslow And Dodging The Bullet

Out of all the stunts June pulled off, this one tales the cake, after the children's escape, of course. She really dodged a bullet this time after having killed a very influential commander with nothing but a pen and then managing a successful escape. An important detail is before this one time, whenever June went to the Jezebel’s, there had been security at the gates, but this time not. She could easily march inside without having been seen. And yet another perfect example of right person at the right time, is the Martha who saw her the first with dead Winslow, obviously, was the same whom June had saved on Lawrence’s insistence.

Surviving All The Odds

Despite carrying out some of the most grave punishable offenses in Gilead, June Osborne just keeps on thriving. Every time she does something which is a crime in Son Of Jacob's or Gilead's eyes, someone or other saves her owing to X, Y, or Z reasons. Had she not been June Osborne, she would have been executed long ago.

We all know how expendable the handmaids and the Marthas are in the eyes of Gilead. Surviving all the odds somehow has come to a point where it seems a little stretchy now.

Bombing Off The Brand New Red Center

At a place which is rife with security guards and eyes at every step, there is no bomb detecting device at the Rachel and Leah Center gates, especially when they had been planning a grand opening ceremony for quite some time. A handmaid walks very leisurely inside, makes an entrance through the doors, which again do not have any detection, scanner, or security protocols, and strolls inside to the conference auditorium, shows her fellow HMs the detonator and suicide-bombs the whole place down. And yet Commander Waterford didn’t die. What a shame!

Conspiring Against A Child She Was Trusted To Protect

June was found trying to abduct Hannah at the MacKenzie house. She was captured from the plane just about to take off, desperately attempting to escape with an unborn child by the Gilead forces. And yet, after everything, she was just pardoned with a slight slap on the wrist. A MacKenzie Martha whom she was heard conspiring with, by her walking partner Matthew, was hanged the next morning, just for talking about it, while June was not even remonstrated for the same and more.

While Nick has gone out of the way one too many times to help or save June, this one was a bit too overwhelming.

On the fateful night of baby Nichole's kidnapping, Commander Waterford senses something is amiss when he sees some chaos outside his house across the street. He immediately runs to the baby's room where he doesn't find the baby. He runs upstairs to June's room to find her gone too. When he tries to rush downstairs so he could get some help, Nick blocks his way and doesn’t let him out. Even after this audacity, Nick doesn't seem to face any consequences whatsoever the next day or afterwards.

What Does Gilead Have Exactly

It’s been some time now and there has been really no explanations as to why this nightmarish Gilead has been accepted by all the other countries and the UN as a nation. Why is no one trying to intervene or change things. In the third season, Switzerland diplomat team vaguely said in passing that Canada wants to avoid any conflict with Gilead, as the latter is an extremely powerful country militarily, but that does not clear things much. What does Gilead have exactly to have an irrevocable leverage over all the parties that can try and revert it to the nation that it was? Or, just like comic books, just because it has been established that Gilead is powerful, do we have to believe it?

Who Else If Not Superwoman June?

Three seasons have gone by and one would expect the team of writers to improve the storyline with time, but the narrative has been getting painfully slower with each passing episode. Seeing how easily and uneventfully Emily and the children escape, nothing should stop others from doing the same and yet no one else is even attempting. With more than thirty episodes wrapped up in the bag, June Osborne is still the leading character with the same problems, as in the first season, and the show has not yet established anything to survive without her as the protagonist. Hence, June has to be kept alive with no major damage to her body or mind at the cost of unrealistic storytelling.
