Re: Gen V (The Boys spinoff) (2023)
*meh* Way too much teen-drama for my taste. Sure, lot of silliness, gore and sexual content to justify R rating. Dropped along EP3... nothing keeps me going here. Probably just not my setting. Strong dislike for the lead actors... no one there really carries the show. Pretty much like Wednesday.

great show - quite woke, but in good taste. Enjoyed the first three eps.
How can something be "quite woke" in "good taste"? So far all woke content in TV shows and movies is just annoying as hell to me as I hate if someone is aggressively pushing their messaging. Not talking about the occasional gay scene or so, more like... if people start fighting over pronouns, safe spaces and racial injustice more than driving the story. Usually, I can't stand it and drop the show/movie quite early. Anyway, I don't see this in this show. Quite the opposite. They drop in all the typical super woke content and make fun of it. Which in my point of view is also a bit too far off to the other side.

Re: Gen V (The Boys spinoff) (2023)
upto 3rd eps. I find my self wanting to fast forward. All the gore but lack of talent. lacklustre. Comparing that to "Wednesday" does not hold up - to a show that is very tightly written with actors who clearly enter into the spirit of the show with great "choreography" and camera work. "Wednesday" is of a much higher calibre, where the dialogue is more for effect than simple acting. The only amusing thing here is the play on being trans and even that is a damp squib

With comparing it to Wednesday I meant: Just not my setting, too much teen drama. And yes.... I did not like the lead actors in Wednesday as well.

I enjoyed 1x2 and 1x3 a bit less than 1x1, but I still like the show. An interesting exploration of great and 'lesser' superpowers in a young-adult context.
Well, there's the trans superhero and their struggle.
There's 2 main characters who's main powers are centered on bulimia and self-harm (cutting).
I'm not sure why people are surprised though, The Boys is highly critical of Trumpsters already, it's definitely to be expected in this show.
Re: Gen V (The Boys spinoff) (2023)
Cheap knockoff garbage.
Ok, I was being kind.
Re: Gen V (The Boys spinoff) (2023)
GenV is centered around Godolkin University.
The description of S01E04 includes:
"If you have any information, please contact @GodUPD."
God olkin
God as in... how these meta humans see themselves
olkin as in Ingram Olkin, known for his contributions to meta-analysis
I just found that interesting

1x4 was good, Tek Knight (Derek Wilson of https://next-episode.net/future-man fame) was awesome! "The WHOLE Truth"...

Oh damn, I didn't even recognize him. Very cool, Wolf was by far my favorite character in Future Man.
Loved Tek Knight too.

how much outrageous gore can we take to make up for the lack of actors with real prescence?

Apologies, but I had to intervene and remove some of the discussion as it devolved to explaining what "woke" is or isn't.
Let's move on and stay on topic.

I'm not sure, z1rra, maybe they keep this possibility contained to this show (and remove it [in a very bloody way ] before it can 'spread'.)

Always good to see Jensen Ackles! I really hope he has a prolific career post Supernatural. He's a great action hero typecast.
