Gen V 1x8 Reaction | Guardians of Godolkin

[@AidantheLegend]

Someone pointed out Andre has Magneto's powers and Professor X's morals, but Cate has Professor X's powers and Magneto's morals

[@KthulhuXxx]

A bit of a dated reference, since Magneto has been good-ish for quite a while in the comics, while Xavier's been revealed to be more and more of a manipulative bastard over the years.

[@r-171]

…Now that you mention it, yes.

[@beldin2987]

I always saw more of a Jean Grey with Rogue mix in Cate since she also has that "glove off" thing like Rogue. But what you said makes of course also sense.

[@Saje3D]

I almost don’t blame her. Almost. She certainly carries more trauma than Homelander.

[@tlf2818]

@@beldin2987 And the fact that her powers were being diminished, which also relates to some versions of X-men where Jean's powers are purposefully put in check.

[@StevenIngram]

18:54 I think Sam literally made her "feel small." And she shrank.

[@Piflik]

Yeah. Her power is a reflection of her self-esteem, not actually connected to eating or purging.

[@cyradus]

It is shame or guilt/happiness.

[@RossWrock]

Angela, if you like Anthony Star, you should totally check out his series "Banshee." An ex-con assumes the identity of a murdered sheriff in the small town of Banshee, Pennsylvania, where he has some unfinished business. It's an amazing show that flew under the radar for years. 4 seasons total (38 episodes), and would make a great reaction series as well.

[@vincentvoillot6365]

Exactly what i was gonna write. Great actions, solid cast playing unique characters. Yes i think Angela is ready for "Banshee"

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

crazy series lol

[@therandytomato5679]

Even try Outrageous Fortune, if you can find it. Kiwi show he was on almost 20 years ago, crime comedy - he plays twin brothers, one a total idiot petty crim with heart of gold, the other is the exact opposite.

The first 3 seasons of Banshee are amazing and I wish more people reacted to it.

Guess you can say Marie disarmed Cate... The way your anger, horror, frustration and tears built up towards the end... Yeah, that's pretty much how i felt. But this was SUCH a well done finale. Making Sam and Cate the final antagonists of the season was dark, tragic, but given everything that's they've done and that's been done to them... it makes sense.

The saddest part of this was realizing that Emma shrank because Sam made her feel small. Seems her powers are tied to her emotions.

[@zma924]

I swear I do that with voice actors all the time where I don’t find out until WAY late into a show that someone I’m familiar with voices a character. It took me until this most recent season of invincible to realize that Cecil is voiced by Walton Goggins

He is?! I did not know that either. Walton is almost everyone now

[@gremmythoumeaux2393]

Have you thought about watching The Boys: Diabolical? It’s an 8 episode animated series of short stories that take place in the Boys’ Universe. Each episode is different in animation style and themes. Some episodes are funny and some are just heartbreaking so I imagine you’ll find enjoyment.

[@Frank-Voight-Kampff]

„Fuck you, Sam.“ I had the exact same reaction. In that moment he stopped being a victim for me and became an aggressor. Hurting Emma like that? No, sir! 😢

@@redrick8900 Didn’t say that. But I have no problems with the guards in the woods, they had it more than coming. They were well aware what happens there and the very first interaction with a civilian we see is them how they slide his throat. So yeah, that’s defense, not murder.

[@redrick8900]

The editing of your show is pretty great, and very unique, so Xander deserves all the hosannas for that. On the show...I don't understand why Vought would make Cate and Sam-the two people most likely to kill all the humans at Vought, like Ashley-the "heroes" of the situation.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

I’m sure Homelander scared them into it

[@AidantheLegend]

From the moment I saw how much you loved Emma, my mind kept playing that scene with Sam in my head and imagined how you were gonna react to it. And... yeah, i felt the hurt second hand too. But it seems that Emma's powers can be used based on how she feels...

[@P_Kalldwin]

"I was very upset when somone told me he was the voice of Bolin" Sorry for doing it, but if I had know so did everyone else hahah

[@toriboy25]

Seeing Marie give that supe a heart attack just shows me Neuman just likes to be messy LOL I get blowing the head of the CIA lady and congress (to send a message) but she didn't have to pop the doctors head in episode 7. Also I wonder if she will blame Marie for things she has done.

[@stevemartegani]

Such a shocking ending to a FANTASTIC season. Can't wait for the upcoming season of The Boys to see how this ties in!

[@grimruin]

Emma's power has probably always been purely mental, purging and eating have just been the triggers for it.

[@carriesmith742]

10:02 Jordan was the ONLY supe who could stand up against Sam until Emma held him down. 18:07 Sam wouldnt be free if Emma hadnt saved him and he has the GALL to say "you're not a hero", BS!

[@TomTomson81]

Here it becomes clear that Emma does not necessarily have to vomit to become small. It could even be that she only needs to feel small to become small. But I think both ways lead to the goal for her. If the emotional part could replace the physical part, Emma wouldn't have been able to become small when Andre asked her to break into the woods. She had felt really good, like a hero. The emotional part do not replace the vomiting or eating, at least not yet.

[@Braincleaner]

Homelander is 100% moving his ches pieces into place to kill all the non-supe humans in The Boys S4...

[@raymondterry1937]

Thank you Xander

[@EntertainmentGym]

So if Homelander decides to bring Cate and Sam into The Seven... Wondering if Homelander is going to hide Black Noir's death by putting Sam in the costume... 🤔

[@klarityfisher8993]

Woah.. that is a wild but very real possibility. Sam has similar hallucinations as Black Noir, so the dark irony is there

[@erikhanson1162]

The Boys and Gen V show a world that is so structurally flawed, that any attempt to fix it merely breaks it in a different way.

[@danielrodrigues4903]

They need an Eren to initiate a rumbling to do a hard reset.

[@Etticos.]

I love the Cate/Andre dynamic. It’s such a shame what happened to Andre’s actor, truly tragic. Cate is basically evil Professor X and Andre is basically good Magneto, so I would have loved to see Andre make a helmet to shield his thoughts/mind from Cate’s powers in season 2. Also a lot of supes have heightened durability. Annie tanked a .50 cal round to the chest and Stormfront took Homelander’s lasers as a kink.

[@beldin2987]

But Cates powers works like Rogues, she has to touch a person so thats why she always wears gloves normally. A helmet wouldn't help here at all. Just some kind of full body suit.

[@Etticos.]

@@beldin2987 I think it’s implied she is way more powerful but the meds have been keeping her powers down to a minimum, thus needing touch. I believe there is a scene where she describes hearing other peoples thoughts, and she wasn’t touching them then.

[@beldin2987]

@@Etticos. Just hearing thoughts is still a big difference to manipulating them. Just look at the end where Marie "unarmed" her by letting her arm explode so she couldn't manipulate Jordan. If she had the power already to manipulate through the air, she didn't had to bother with that. Of course its also possible that she just isn't aware of it, but i hope thats not the fact else she would be really too powerful.

[@Barovian20]

Marie tanked a blast from Homelander. Now that adds some context to interactions between Victoria Neuman and Homelander. Also Sam and Emma just aren't meant to be. She gravitates to him because they're both broken, but in ways that are too different to reconcile. Sam had everything he cared about weaponized and used against him and spent most of his life deliberately broken to see what he could physically take. It turned him into a cold person who is just beyond Emma's help. I foresee Sam's only redemption being to sacrifice himself. I don't think he could ever be normal again after what he has endured.

The show doesn't say it but it's important to note that it's not normal to become a psycho because you've had a terrible life. Sam is wrong. There are tons of people who've been tortured and wrongly imprisoned that go on to be highly moral and upstanding people.

[@Saje3D]

I think a portion of that is simply acceptance. The world is the way it is and there’s very little any of us can do about it as individuals. We have very little choice but to suck it up because we’re mostly impotent. He’s broken to a massive degree AND I’d say when especially broken people get power, it’s rarely to anyone’s benefit. Not even their own, ultimately. There are plenty of real world examples. He has far fewer restraints in general than most people. He doesn’t have to suck it up. So he doesn’t. It’s telling that he had to artificially silence his conscience. He KNOWS it’s wrong on a fundamental level. He’s just fucked up enough that he doesn’t care, doesn’t want to challenge his pain and rage. He wants to ride it because he can. After all, he didn’t make HIMSELF into a monster. They did that. He’s just “accepting his fate.”

​@reynaldolorenzo8409 It's not a plot hole at all. When a supe gives birth, their child doesn't have their powers. So they also inject them with V and because their kid's DNA is similar to that their parents, they get the same powers. Ryan truly is the first naturally born supe

[@reynaldolorenzo8409]

@@WaltDevil060 When does the show say that? You just invented that yourself. Andre and Maverick are two that are naturally born; the show never said they weren't, and that their parents gave them compound v, so it is a plot hole until the show explicitly says that they were given compound v.

And Sam is Suffering From a form of Schizophrenia ( My childhood friend Got it at 18-20 years Old-) Sam Seeing thing's-People and puppets that are not there. Out of touch with reality. And easily Confused. One Minute he Believe's he is Doing the right thing then shortly after He Tells Emma Hurtful Shit. That is the Mental health disorder (And I do Not think Sam is evil....He Needs Medication and to be around (Positive People) Cate is the Last person Sam should be around when He is Confused, Angry, Having disorganized thoughts and Hallucinations! I think Emma Shrinking after the break up. Her power is From a place of feeling down (Going small) possibly feeling happy going Big.

I think this show is doing x-men but reverse. I know people are saying Andre and Kate are the reverse Magneto and Professor X. Which they are on the surface. But imo Marie and Kate are the Magneto and Professor X. There are so many similarities between them that i remember thinking they would be great best friends or great enemies/rivals. I think Marie's brotherhood will be the ones to want to protect the younger generations of supes and protect humans and go against the school. i think s4 of the boys will have the school create their own heros aka xmen that Marie, Emma, Jordan and whoever else joins them will have to go against. RIP Chance Perdomo aka Andre

[@justinbarnes9911]

[@katesullivan4707]

They aren't going to recast Andre, they decided that Andre has to die and the trio who are left will mourn him just like the cast did. But that said, your idea that they are in a mind prison (also what I am still holding out hope Scott Lang was in after Quantumania) might be the way they can still return to their situation. The hospital gowns they are all in had Vs on them so most people have figured that Ashley jumped out of the helicopter and encouraged Homelander to not kill them but let her take them in because, also Marie and Emma have useful powers and they are still freshmen so Ashley could argue they are still malleable. I had imagined before that Andre was key to at least one escape attempt but that might be when Victoria is able to convince the Boys that she is more or less on their side re Homelander that the ladies of the Boys set out on a rescue mission to save these supes that they believe could be allies. There is a confusing theory that Sam will don the Black Noir costume which is supported by the fact in the trailer Billy is fighting BN but he is not fighting in the same way, more like Sam. But the confusion lies in that the guy who used to play Black Noir is still a cast member but he also is still the guy in the age range from the flashback to the 80s. So I am guessing he plays his son and we might learned that Ryan isn't the first natural born supe. But yeah, the major thought coming out of this was that the Boys managed to do a live action Xmen story long before Marvel. They just had Xavier have Magneto's default position and Magento more in Charles's camp though Marie is more the leader of that side.

It's sad what happened to Chance. I looked it up tonight and it seems like he's not getting recast. I agree with this. Swapping actors is something I'd rather not see. Just write them out with something better than a line about how they died offscreen. Newsradio was a sitcom that did a full length episode sendoff where everyone read letters from our departed actor. It was the right kind of sendoff. The next episode they brought in a permanent replacement, another person with a handful of his character traits but was so obnoxious I didn't think it was worth the comedy he brought to the table, but I rolled with it to keep watching the show.

Of course they [the sups] shouldn't be killing indiscriminately; that should go without saying. It's not that hard, from a secular humanist perspective, to view this content and root for the four that ended up in the windowless cell (who knows where). I believe that is what the screenwriter(s) intend for us to do. That there are some persons who may revel in the violence of revenge fantasies without regard to consequences is one reason our current society is in its fragile state. My personal view is that they are flawed individuals, perhaps sociopaths. Yet they exist; and they have been given implicit permission lately to display their sociopathy freely; even encouraged to do so. We who believe ourselves to be rational and sane, non-fascistic humans must stand firmly against them. Otherwise society will crumble before our eyes. The "'Great Experiment" of U.S. democracy is at a tipping point, pushed by hostile actors with a wish for us to be destroyed through mistrust. The Boys is a mirror held up to us, an allegory of our times. Let us hope that non-dystopian forces prevail against the assault of shallow minded, anti-intellectual idiocy.

[@cordite7207]

I think its easy to forget Homelander is a huge racist despite not wanting to be a nazi with Stormfront, he came in, saw a blonde white girl with her arm missing and a black girl and asian man 'attacking' her. Its why he looks so triumphant with the news piece, it fits his narrative about white american heroes saving America.

[@PROVOCATEURSK]

I don´t see people crossing the border saving America, do you?

[@kimways8182]

i think it’s more of a putting supes first thing more so than racism. he saw a supe attacking another supe and probably had some degree of background on the situation so it aligns that he sided with cate regardless of race. i do think the show was likely intentionally acknowledging white privilege in how cate & sam turned out the “heroes” but i think homelander himself cares way more about “supe superiority” than race in this particular scenario. though he certainly has shown racist tendencies in the boys.
