🔴Gen V Season 2 Is Losing The One Thing That Made The Boys' College Spinoff Work🔴
1Gen V showed the world of The Boys through a new lens, but the superhero spinoff show risks making its second season less special. The Gen V season 2 cast will be almost entirely composed of the familiar faces from season 1, which is great news. However, there's another brilliant facet of the show's debut installment that's already been teased to have been removed from the follow-up. So, while Gen V season 1 may have provided a fresh perspective into the world of Billy Butcher and company, the next part of the story could be a little less innovative.
All the Supes in Gen V have a wide range of powers, and exploring some of the unique and even familiar abilities is one of the most compelling parts of the show. Although this level of variety is a great piece of worldbuilding, it's nothing that can't be experienced in The Boys. Instead, one of Gen V's other biggest strengths lies elsewhere within the show's formula. Unfortunately, it appears as if Gen V season 2 will be cutting back on that particular aspect of the story.
Gen V season 1 initially seemed that while it was aligning itself with the continuity of The Boys, it was also isolating itself from its parent show. Other than the odd reference and subtle cameo, most of the show's run abides by this original implied intention. However, the ending of Gen V season 1 thrust its characters into the main world when Anthony Starr's Homelander shows up at Godolkin University. With Marie Moreau and her friends imprisoned by Homelander and Vought in the finale, it becomes much less likely that Gen V season 2 will be set on campus.
