Gen V Season 2 Review (Eps 1-4) | Hits, Misses & The Future of The Boys Universe
Description
We’re breaking down the first four episodes of Gen V Season 2, the bloody, outrageous spinoff of The Boys! In this spoiler-filled review, we cover everything from the best moments, shocking scenes, and standout performances to the frustrating weaknesses that are starting to drag down the live-action Boys universe.
Before jumping into Gen V, we start with a cold open discussing James Gunn’s DCU Gods & Monsters slate, including major changes to projects like The Authority and Swamp Thing, and the reveal that Brainiac will be the villain in Man of Tomorrow. We also react to the new casting of Tombstone in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and cover the unfortunate on-set injuries involving Tom Holland and stunt workers.
Then we dive deep into Gen V Season 2 Episodes 1-4. We talk about what works—Emma, Cipher, and Polarity’s character arcs, the pacing, and the intriguing central mystery—and what doesn’t, like lazy political satire, plot holes, and lack of meaningful development for some characters. We also reflect on the passing of Chance Perdomo and how it impacted the direction of the season.
Overall, Gen V Season 2 has us cautiously optimistic, and we’re hoping the back half sticks the landing.
