 You know, it's funny when Marvel, who's been trying to do these TV shows, spin-offs and whatnot, trying to make them matter, but they never really do, and the boys is able to do it with its first spin-off right off the bat. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys! Hey guys, this is my review for season one of Gen V, the spin-off to the boys. This takes place pretty much right after the events of season three, and it's definitely a coincider to what season four will be. I know that there's some who will say, oh, maybe you need to watch it, you will be kind of left out of the loop, and Marvel's been kind of doing a really half-ass job of that. Gen V does it, but does it well, and I have to give Kripke credit again. The man who doesn't really plan, but just kind of lets chaos form into excellence, it's working here. Gen V, I expected to be okay. I expected to be decent. But I did not accept it to be exceptional. It has all of the mannerisms, the humor, the brutality, the very much vocal voice about current day politics, ideologies, social media, and it's able to parody it to a fucking insulting degree, as well as some really solid characters. I thought that all of the cast were gonna be meh, you really actually come to care about them. You actually come to care about who they are, not only through their tragic backstories or whatever the fuck they've got going on, because usually everyone in this show has something going on, but also you enjoy their traits about who they are as heroes, who they are, and who they view themselves in this world. And hell, there's a character who goes through a very specific arc that is far better portrayed in this than it has been in multiple movies from a certain previous Fox affiliate. I liked almost everything about Gen V. I keep suggesting it to people who are fan of the boys. You're gonna laugh at the humor. You're gonna get pulled into the story. I was watching it weekly. The fact that it's taking me this long to talk about it is kind of a bit surprising, and that might be because of how it ends. It just kind of ends, and that might be a little bit eugh for some people, and I'm not gonna blame you if anything. The finale is kind of one of the weakest episodes, which is unfortunate because the show did such a good job at making you want to watch each episode, and so does the finale, but the finale is one of the shortest episodes of the season, and it does feel like there's a little bit left off the table that you could have used a little bit more, and it's definitely gonna be shown off in the boys. I guarantee it. You're gonna hear kind of the results of what you want to know in the boys, and then it'll come back to Gen-V, because apparently that's what's gonna happen. It's gonna be one back and forth like this, because the success of the show has changed Kripsky's strategy for the boys. He was originally gonna do five seasons, but then he made a joke about how he left Supernatural for five seasons, and he should have the award for being the worst judge of character in terms of a show's longevity. I love that little good diggin' himself. Gen-V has some great social commentary, some great fucking pics, and like jabs at social commentary. It is able to keep itself relevant and stay in that raunchy, very mature, very bombastic and over-the-top sort of style that we've expected from the boys, but it's able to make it feel both connected, but on its own. I enjoyed the college aspect of it, but also just the shady materials that we've come to know from the show, but it's able to intertwine that into the fabric of the show itself. There's also a character who's been in the boys for a couple of seasons now who truly shows their colors in one episode, and it has now made me even more intrigued about that character, and I am dying to see what they do with that character in Season 4 of the Boys. That's how good Gen-V is. You're gonna enjoy it. You're gonna laugh. You're gonna be shocked. You're gonna be pulled into the character's drama. You're gonna get pulled into the story. Everything about it is gonna be great right up until the end where it kind of wacks you in the nuts, and then it's like, ha ha, you gotta wait now. So, yes. The finale is probably the biggest oof I could say from this show, but I feel like it has its warrant for its length. It does not waste anything, if anything, there could have been more. And I feel that the overall consistency of quality is throughout the entire show. There's something that's kind of been a back and forth with the boys. Season 1 was like, okay, really good start, and then good ending, and then Boys Season 2, same there. Really good start, really good ending, and then Boys Season 3, really good for a lot up until kind of the ending where, you know, that ball tap again. I feel that Gen-V is on the same level as Season 3. It's very, very enjoyable. I really enjoy it. If you are a fan of the Boys, I would highly recommend you watch it because it's gonna be integral to the show and to the Boys universe or Amazon Boys universe. There's also some really good fucking jokes that are basically pointed at Amazon. So that's also a great trait. It's hilarious that Amazon can have something like the Boys and something like Rings of Power both on its platform, and they're just two polar fucking opposites in terms of what one is to the other. It's amazing. But for my review about Gen-V Season 1, I am going to give it a 6 out of 7. I really, really recommend it. This is one of the best surprises of the year for me. I cannot wait for Season 4 of the Boys and I cannot wait for Season 2 of Gen-V. I hope you guys enjoyed this review. But those are my thoughts about this. Let me know what you guys have to say.
