“The Boys” spinoff “Gen V,” a satire about crime-fighters in college, mocks “elevated” superhero shows
Marie Moreau discovers, in the worst way imaginable, that her blood, once outside her body, becomes a superweapon she can’t control. Horrifying, traumatic, but conceptually hilarious, the scene showcases what the new series does best: make amusingly literal some aspects of superherodom that usually remain at least somewhat allegorical and abstract.
“Gen V” turns that jaded lens onto the corruption at God U, which was ostensibly built to help promising young Supes live up to their potential. The satire isn’t subtle. Students are ranked by “talent, skill, brand awareness, and social mentions," and a promotional video features the posh but sinister dean, Indira Shetty , promising “a community of supportive faculty and peers who will accept you as the unique culturally rich change agent that you are.
When adolescents discover serious powers they can only deploy in the service of frivolous ends, they predictably go a little crazy. The high achievers on campus are Luke, a.k.a. “Golden Boy” , his mind-controlling girlfriend Cate , his friend Andre and gender-fluid Jordan Li , but even they can’t help acting out. Moreau, desperate to succeed at God U, joins them one night against her better judgment. Disaster — and an investigation into an area on campus called “The Woods” — ensues.
