Gen V

Events here take place between S3 and S4 of The Boys.

First thing I noticed and admired was the 2 strip coloring, It was visually appealing here and I forgot to mention it when talking about the boys.

The college setting worked so well and the episodes also kept me on my screen from start to finish.

I really enjoyed the diversity between the students and characters, their different abilities as well as their own personal issues. They were all unique in their own way but Cate, holyyy she was ao iconic, kind if like Carla in Elite. I feel she is going to turn out like Homelander but not in an annoying way plus her voice is also captivating.

Victoria and Ashley slayed in their Cameo appearances and it was not suprising at this point because I expected them to.

Marie is a strong and great character but one of the few things I did not like throughout the show was the idea of her trying to prove younger sister wrong each time it was brought up I felt as to fast forward.

At the final episode, we saw how Vought does what they always do, I can't wait to see how things turn out but In general, the boys universe is so good, unique and very different from other fiction or superhero shows to me. I just love it so much and cannot wait for more including the crossovers.

9.3/10.

A spin off set in the most incredibly thought through universe of recent times. Sounds too good to be true but they pulled it off in spectacular fashion. Looking at the Boys' universe from the lens of teenage superheroes as they realize what being a superhero means in the real world is refreshing.

The cast is good, although not at the level of The Boys but good enough. Jaz Sinclair (as Marie) in the lead is good, supported by Lizzie Broadway (as Emma), Chance Perdomo (as Polarity), London Thor (as Jordan Li) and others are also good.

The plot surprisingly ties in very well to the story of the main series and the cameos of the main show are extremely rewarding.

Good and entertaining to watch. Not a must though for the Boys universe.

Oh gosh, what should I say? This series is a true storm. Actually, I have already lost enthusiasm for both MCU and DCEU and I need something new. To say that The Boys series is also a superhero series but is presented from a new perspective. I saw this vision in Gen V also. If I had to choose between The Boys season 1 and Gen V season 1, I would choose Gen V, because it is so classy! From the back stories of the characters to its original story, from action to thriller, from sex to suspense and from powers to madness everything is there in it.

What should I say about the story, the insanity is the same as in The Boys s1 or is a little more than that. The story starts after the events of The Boys s3, from a God U School, which is a school of Supes, where Supes who will emerge in the future are raised, who will go on to become a part of Team 7 and at worst take place of Homelander. But below this school there is a secret facility named WOODS where some of the most powerful and most uncontrollable supes are not only being held but are being experimented upon, and it is here that they are tortured. Marie Monroe, who is a supe, whose powers awakened during her first period, after which she killed her parents. Marie comes to God U with a dream of overcoming her past and becoming a great superhero, she makes friends with some famous supes in school, after running away from school, she goes to a late night pub with them, where Andre one of the famous Sups accidentally harmed a non-supe and Marie uses her powers to save her. Next day she is expelled from school so that the famous supes can be saved from charges. When Marie tries to talk to the principal, one of the famous supes Luke has killed the principal and then he tries to kill Marie, after being confronted by his fellow supes Jorden and Andre he regains consciousness then commits suicide. Vaught tries to suppress the matter and Marie gets free credit for stopping Luke. In meanwhile, all of Luke's friends try to solve the mystery of his mysterious suicide. Whether Marie herself supports them or not, what challenges she has to face in the future for that you will have to watch this show.

Gen V is basically The Boys but for the college crowd, and it's WILD. Think superheroes, but with all the messy, chaotic, and straight-up disturbing stuff you'd expect from this universe. The cast is lit, with Marie, the main girl, pulling no punches-literally. There's blood, superpowers, and drama like Euphoria on steroids. It's dark, funny, and lowkey disturbing in the best way. The way it dives into trauma, mental health, and power dynamics while still giving us epic fight scenes? Yeah, it hits different. If you're into twisted superhero shows where the characters are all kinds of messed up, Gen V is your new obsession.

As a big fan of The Boys I've been looking forward to Gen V ever since I first heard about it. Then after seeing the trailers my excitement grew even more. After finishing the first season I can absolutely say that without a doubt Gen V has not only met my expectations but has exceeded them in every way. It's as fast paced and entertaining as the The Boys series. Even though you'd probably enjoy this more if you've seen the The Boys, you don't have to have seen them to like this. The action scenes are as good as anything I've seen on tv, as exciting and as ridiculous as they are in The Boys. This spin-off actually connects to the original in major ways. You need to watch this so you can follow the story better in the newest season of The Boys. I can't stop watching this and really hope they plan on doing several seasons of this because I'm hooked.
