Gen V (The Boys spinoff) (2023) (Page 3 of 4)

Interesting setup for the finale.

Really was not sure how the psychic chick was gonna go there for a minute. Vice President Newman having the same blood powers was definitely an interesting twist. The exploding... body part earlier in the series now makes more sense in context. Newman having the virus is definitely an interesting setup for the next season of The Boys. This definitely could be the answer to Homelander. Or not given that it still was contagious. I'm definitely interested in what happened to Newman's daughter too, we saw her give her daughter the V and the daughter was in immense pain, but we don't know if she ultimately survived the V process or what powers she got if she did. The one guy having a seizure and harming everyone around him too was interesting. They did that with Professor X in the X-Men comics. A little, what happens when the most powerful psychic ever gets dementia. It's an interesting anthology to explore.

I have a feeling that

cate didnt actually kill Shetty and that the group of kids are actually under Cates influence again - this was the "last push" that Shetty wanted Cate to do. The same way as we saw her do when she was unconscious/

I'm not sure though since unmedicated she can literally read Shetty's mind at that point. She has to know the endgame of the releasing of the virus. She straight up says Shetty tried to get her to kill her friends. If she were on Shetty's side it's pretty obvious she could get them to kill themselves pretty easily. If she was making them see all that she knows about the virus and is cool with releasing it which, I dunno, you can talk a people into a lot of things, releasing a virus that will kill you and all your friends is a pretty tough sell, even from a mother-like figure.

Hmm... I just remembered that Cate read Shetty's mind and said something like "You really love me!" - how does that fit into things?

I assumed she was misleading Shetty while laying some mind mojo on her. But in retrospect and rewatching the scene it is kind of hard to tell what actually happened. I think Kate knowing about the virus though, and she would have to know to generate the illusion, is a sign she interrogated Shetty and found turned on her. But who knows!

Who knows though! At least the finale is soon! So many good shows airing right now, the writers strike means we're gonna have a bit of a dry spell unfortunately.

That's one for the "can probably kill (and apparently avoid being killed by) Homelander" list, then? If not outright, then simply by preventing in-body bloodflow.

I have mixed feelings about the show. As a supplemental tie in to The Boys it was really good. On its own the show fell kinda flat imo.

As for the which superpower poll. You'd be crazy not to pick anything other than the mind control ability.

Why would you need the ability to blow people's heads off unless you just want to be a mass murderer? Are you thinking you would use it as a threat to get them to do what you want? Well just have the ability to directly control their thoughts and you dont have to overtly threaten them or actually kill people that call your bluff..

Oh i thought we were only doing powers from this show. If they're all opened up I'd be hard pressed not to take Multiple Man's power set - make clones of yourself, free labor, and when you reabsorb them you learn everything they learned while separate. Oh and recently (despite years of him being broke) things he's holding, including money, have duplicated too.

Blink is the teleporter you're thinking of
