Gen V - Let Me Explain

[@dilanelysium5118]

I think you missed that Sam quite literally has Schizophrenia. Most if not all of the kids in the woods have amental illness. Makes sense since Shetti is basically a psychologist.

[@iamabee4452]

Huh wonder if black noir was once experimented on. That would make sense.

[@patrickw8955]

You can definitely argue that he is schizophrenic but it as clearly telegraphed as the other characters’ insecurities. With the film medium, it is very common for characters to see and talk to things that only they can see as a way to show perspective. So usually if you’re trying to portray schizophrenia you would have more easily distinguishable scenes to convey a character is delusional, outside of mysteries and thrillers. The puppet hallucinations themselves aren’t enough to exactly establish that he’s schizophrenic per say, it would be more accurate to diagnose him with schizoid personality disorder, but either way none of his traits are as clear cut as some of the other characters when you consider that there are plenty of examples in the boys universe where people have visions unique to themselves. I also think it’s a stretch to say most if not all of the kids in the woods have mental illnesses. Assuming you mean the main characters, transgenderism isn’t what I would call a mental illness, and assuming you mean the actual woods supes, many if not all of them were confined for disobeying vaught in some way, not for any previous mental issues they may have had prior to their imprisonment. I do still see how you could interpret Sam that way though and I think it would be interesting if they touch on that more in the second season.

Why are so many people surprised Marie survived homelanders eye beams? He can clearly control the power output. He did this exact same thing when he killed Madelyn Stillwell.

[@jadaok888]

I think both emma and marie use their powers for self harm. yes emma has to vomit to shrink but because she was rasied by a mom who always shamed her weight and eating, that definitely affects her relationship to her powers and why/how she uses them at times. same with marie. part of using her powers requires her to cut open skin, but because she struggles with seeing herself as a hero and worries she's a monster/the cause of her parents death, it affects her relationship to her powers and why/how she uses them at times.

[@Nero-gl2fv]

In the final episode Emma shrinks down without vomiting because she is made to feel small so yeah I think it’s gonna play into the self harm aspect because she’s seemingly never explored other ways to use her powers that aren’t physical self injury.

[@cookiestrong8757]

I can’t speak on Emma but it always confuses me when people say Marie is self harming. Like ya, she’s cutting her palms, but she does it to use her powers. It’s the same as Cate using her powers even though it causes her harm. It’s different from “self harm”

[@jacomoncal]

​@@cookiestrong8757the definition of self harm would harming one's self. Cutting your own palm is literally harming ones self. Regardless of the end result. If a super had to eat a live human being to use their powers would that not be considered murder/cannabalism?

[@cookiestrong8757]

@@jacomoncal I feel like people are talking about Marie’s self harm in a mental health type of way though. The self harm that happens do to mental distress is different from the “self harm” that Marie does in order to use her powers. Self harm in the mental health sense is bad because it doesn’t address the underlying issue of why the person does it, and it can cause long term damage to the skin. In Marie’s case though she does it to either defend herself or to help other people by practicing using, or actually using her powers. The psychology behind why she cuts her palms is different from what you would see from a self harmer. That’s why I don’t like people saying that it’s “tackling important issues” or “representation of self harm”. Because it’s really not. Again, I haven’t heard of anyone saying that Cate is self harming when she is using her powers. Even though her powers cause her body even more harm than Marie.

[@twiceshy9773]

I reckon a lot of the Supe's powers become what they are based on what they really really needed as a kid at one particular point in time- so most of it will be related to some kinda trauma, a way to protect themselves or escape or fight or even just to understand- **SPOILERS!!** like how Jordan has sexually repressed parents with oldschool values so she is basically literally 2 people to represent that she's bisexual (that was a bit on the nose for me, it was like- yeah okay, spell it out even MORE for us why doncha gigglesnort) and maybe A-Train had to run real fast one time cos he grew up in a bad neighbourhood and all the invisible people probably literally wanted to disappear at one point...and then it gets interesting when you add in the DNA bits as well- like does Andre have his metal powers like his dad cos it's passed down genetically or does he have them cos he wanted so bad to like his dad cos he loved him (lol aww, my heart😂)?? And then mental illness comes into as well, like when they can't control them (oh oh- they kinda did that at the end with "Buffy" too!!). I LOVED this show, it wasn't just a dumb cashgrab- it was actually, surprisingly good!! lLol I kept flipflopping between who were the good guys, who were the bad guys so much- unlike with "The Boys" where the lines are more clean cut...I think the underlying theme would be that the PARENTS were the real bad guys in this show, especially if they only did this as a cynical way to exploit their own kids, I mean, what did they THINK would happen??! Of COURSE they're going to get experimented on and manipulated or have it backfire personally by accident some time...but when they're raised in a lab they turn out completely pyscho like Homelander- eeeeek!! Ohmygod ohmygod that was so freaking good!! So he's basically just crazy now, right?? Ohmygod I freaking love these shows!!! And I'm a little winedrunk!! Lol I'm going to watch all the Cate bits all over again (oooh they did her so dirty)!!

Gen V felt more fresh than The Boys. Boys is a good show, it just got a bit tiring for my taste. This completely resets that fatigue - great job on Prime for making a show that makes you care about superheroes and has real, smaller stakes involved.

My only criticisms was that Sam & Cate’s shift was so drastic. Other than that it was awesome!

[@rodrigosantoscienceros]

Meh, Sam makes perfect sense, he was tortured by humans all his life so when he sees his people doing the "Supe Power" ✊ thing of course he's going to side with them. Not sure if Cate was genuine or not, maybe Shetty is still alive and convinced Cate to do all this to make supes look bad or maybe she was tired of being used and actually did try to lead a superhuman rebellion. But both options still seem in character for her

It’s a great satire on how parents take away their children’s free will as adults.

[@simmons866]

Ok you kinda made me make sense to some things because I honestly thought the writing went downwards after they blacked out and forgot Sam for a sec. At the beginning, Shetty was so motherly to Marie but we never saw her do that with Cate until the second half of the season (as if the Cate subplot was created much later). The writing made it seem that the first time we saw Andre and Cate sleep together, it was their first time and even Cate was awkward with "should we talk about it?" but no they've been doing it longer than that.

I had the same questions but chalked it up to Shetty and Cate manipulating the others since they clearly did it very often

Good overview, I will say brushing over Emma getting a deeper understanding of how her powers work doesn't do her character justice. It's not so much she can shrink without puking, but she can shrink when she sees herself as small. Conversely, it likely means she grows if she feels big. This could lead itself to get growing big if she's confident or self assured, but we've only seen it manifest as her literally feeling fatter because of her eating

[@dylanchilders]

I was honestly expecting some CW tier drama show, but Gen V ended up absolutely blowing my expectations out of the water. It fits perfectly into The Boys universe, and its pretty impressive that they just made up a bunch of new characters and did such a good job with them. Just goes to show that not every superhero product has to be about Batman or Spiderman or Iron Man, but studios like Marvel and DC are too scared to try and come up with new characters so they just always rehash the same handful of characters over and over

I forgot how explicit the show The Boys was and when i put on Gen V and a girl shrunk down and hopped on a d**k i was caught off guard. Not the right show to put on for background noise lol

[@ChibiKawaii3]

I went to skip a recap on one of the episodes and my TV buffered right at that part 😅 it was scarring lol

[@empressventress2938]

So excited for this recap 😊 Let's Goooooo 🎉

[@Sarahmint]

This is what the X-Men should have been. You make it look si good I want to watch it and I could not get into the boys at all but maybe this I will

[@malachirice3229]

That ending was wild

[@goodtaste2185]

I'm surprised the show was as good as it was. Looking forward to S2.

[@devonroyer2577]

Dude I love your channel and for some reason I never get your notifications anymore so I’m gonna just like comment and sub so my algorithm finally gets it lol

[@iamyou2376]

This show is what the X-Men is supposed to be like on screen. If Marvel can't outdo this then it's over.

[@yeseniacontreras3287]

Another theory I have is that Shetti did kill herself and somehow merged with Emma’s consciousness (not surprising considering her powers).

[@olliee.t.m4897]

He rlly explained the whole plot with no other substance

[@LetMeExplain]

Name the substance you wanted

[@PrettyLifeQueensKing]

Is that background music Righteous Minds by Joey bada$$ off 1999.

[@Jsquared2]

I think it's possible that Shetty getting killed was actually the shapeshifter we got introduced to earlier.

[@ChibiKawaii3]

But Cate can read minds, so likely not

[@briredrose]

Thanks so much for this video. There are certain themes I don’t want to watch on the show, so I haven’t been watching. But it looks so good I’m always curious about it

[@XoXMintholicXoX]

Hey! love your channel, but you should really add subtitles at 6:45-6:47, because what youre saying sounds almost like a slur if you're not listening attentively. I believe you were trying to say "harder than Icarus"? Anyway, hope this comment reaches you and clarifies for any viewers who were confused like me.

[@camerabox1]

oh holy shit thank god i thought i heard the other thing and replayed it like 6 times

[@jeffthekillercriticremixer5968]

Gen z is a joey to friends. It could be so much better in my opinion although I do enjoy the premise and I do like the connection to the show but many of the students in the school have terrible powers. Major weaknesses. It also has a Melrose place vibe that just I could see more of the students being more like a Martin the Simpsons or urkels. Unlike shows in which the young people really expire that's missing in this show but the low quality lowbrow stuff is alive. Even the opening statement in which I don't want to spoil anything but the opening 15 minutes just starts to show off on a depressing level

[@daarmonet]

i now have to finish this show

[@Mr_Case_Time]

Were the children of supes also given V, or did they get their powers genetically?

[@xXArmitronXx]

If I'm not mistaken homelanders kid has power, but wasn't given V

[@Mr_Case_Time]

@@xXArmitronXx so then would he be susceptible to the virus? If it only reacts to compound V in the blood, he may not be.

[@LetMeExplain]

Interesting take

[@cassandraanoai4034]

Yes, they give their kids compound V when they’re babies. Ryan (Homelander’s kid) is the only living offspring of a supe that inherited his powers, and not by being injected with Compound V.

[@smoove8125]

@@cassandraanoai4034i think its compound v mixed with genetics. Andre coincidentally has the same powers as his dad, and same with translucent son

[@jessicaaye3738]

I've never heard of this show but these actors pretty good.

[@Wallace3lane]

Homelander does not see himself as like the rest of the supes he sees himself as a god, so he kills supes he doesn't consider them his kind

[@Shaniasurreal]

Is the background song Righteous Minds by Joey Bada$$ ?

[@franknick1374]

I loved the s1 finale of gen v, it constantly fell like a house crashind from in of itself, wich is kinda what happened, we where practically constantly dissapointed wich i loved. I also like how depraved and ill cate looked like due to her eyes n shit, like her villainy was eating at her, coming at a climax with marie popping cate's arm. Wich i wish was permanent couse that would show how far gone she was.

[@beepboop8973]

Cate’s progression was weird. Like it just felt weird

[@Gryphondork.]

Emma is easily my favorite character. Shes so funny

GEN V IS BETTER THAN THE BOYS

I feel like she didn’t die from homlanders laser beams because she has the same powers as Victoria so she’s also indestructible

I really liked kate. I was wondering if she would join a rouge Homelander.

[@amilcareschettini5881]

Love this show more than i thought probably more thab Boys

[@JXekil_I]

Great show, I was pissed af at the ending though😂

[@sigfigronath]

so regarding the plane crash, it was hijacked by terrorist first, it was anyways going to crash. Homelander is guilty too yes. But he didnt randomly take down a plane

[@BobectorGamesBobector]

No it could have been a ransom hijack. They could have just wanted money in exchange for the passengers. Homelander could have saved those people either way though. The blood was on his hands when he destroyed the cockpit

[@lazyfish7675]

13:55 this couldn't be in season 4 because billy would just work with her

[@wildermidnight]

I had mixed feelings but the finale won me over. The issue I have is Gen V isn't so much a satire on the misfit young teen hero trope as much as its just another show about misfit young teen heroes. Some of the powers fall on the obscure side but they're really nothing new to a true long time comics reader. It didn't go as far as I wanted to see it go but it went far enough I'm satisfied. Can't wait for more.

[@ronniemcbride4475]

They are not teenagers

@@ronniemcbride4475I mean, Marie, Sam, and Emma are for sure. The rest are in their early twenties, so pretty close lol
