/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
Welcome to the heavy spoilers show. I’m your host Paul and this video we’re breaking down the boys Gen V
-
The first three episodes have just dropped on Amazon and throughout this we’re gonna be breaking them down and talking about all the Easter eggs, comic book characters and things you might have missed when watching the show.
Heavy spoilers ahead and we will be covering this each and every week so make sure you hit the subscribe button if you’re new here to never miss a video. With that out the way, huge thank you for clicking this now let’s get into Gen V.
Now the series actually starts off 8 years ago when A-train was first drafted into the seven.
This is presented on the VSN sports network and A-train being like a sporting event makes sense due to his power set involving speed. In season 1 he ended up having a race and was picked to be the speedster of the group due him filling in some gaps powerset wise. Due to the news ticker on the bottom we learn that he was handpicked by Clancy Browns Brinkerhoff who is working on his next protege as we get further in the entry.
Brinkerhoff itself is a learning method involving analysing ones sucess and failures in order to become the best.
The University is called God-U and this is because they're very much creating Gods.

Btw that blue guy I think was actually supposed to be a parody of night crawler
Godulkin U. is likely meant to sound similar to Greymalkin Lane, the road that Xavier's school for gifted youngsters is on in the X-Men comics.
Cate looks exactly like Kacey from super crooks on Netflix and she basically has the same powers
I recorded the Generation X movie. I still have it on VHS.
Not a easter egg but i liked Emma's plastic doll shirt used as armour for infiltrating the facility
Man it's a shame Luke died so early he seemed like a cool dude
Dude right! I thought he would’ve been a main character for this show
I like it, glad to see a show that's not predictable
I like that Cate isn't the stereotypical "bitchy girlfriend who feels threatened by the new girl". She's just a genuinely nice person.
Nah Luke had to go to OP
@@bringonthefandom248I thought he was going to be a future 7 member in season 4.
The teleporting kid from the "adoption" episode of the boys show, is literally named Teddy Stillwell... it's definitely her son, also Ryan at screencrush didn't notice that the invisible R.A. Maverick, was the son of translucent
Wow 🤯
@@NoonMight I didn't say Teddy was in Gen v. I said he was in the episode of the boys when hughie goes to "adopt" a super kid. Thanks
Yeah the one in The Boys was Teddy, but I think the one in Gen V is too old since this occurs shortly after Season 3, when Teddy was still a toddler.
@@meredithwhite5790 never said Teddy was in Gen-V. Sheesh. I said the Invisible r.a. is the son of Translucent
One detail you missed is that Maverick is actually Translucent's son, during the funeral homelander talks to his son and calls him Maverick
Oh nice catch I totally missed that
Yup, and man when they showed Homelander on the TV I got so excited lol a trial, he's being cancelled now
oh and he had his wewe out, translucent did that in the bathroom
@@neltins5308i know i’m late to this comment but even if homelander is found guilty what would happen lol
It would be cool, if eating excessively made Emma/Cricket grow taller, but her mother never let her explore that aspect of her powers. Therefore, Emma wouldn’t know she could become a giant.
I thought that too! If she grew huge and her strength increased too she’d be brilliant
@@ellafieldipopsBut the problem would be how could she get back to her normal form. Since this is the boys universe, her vomit might get too much.
@@JaBr07 Yes you’re right. Her vomit would likely become a gross high velocity weapon ha ha
I’m thinking there’s gotta be another trigger for her power to shrink that she’ll discover later so it’s not so bad 😅
With an unexplored power, comes unpredictability. I wonder what will happen to her in the next episode since she got her blood baptism.
The creators of The Boys have to be the most creative writers I’ve seen in so long
Fr
I really like what they did with luke, many people expected him to be a homelander type character, and the episode even tries to mislead us by having him rip off the guys arms in training in a brutal way, and then later with his killing of brink, but the more we learn about him, we learn that he was a genuinely good guy who wanted to be a good hero, but was abused and went through some heavy tramua, leading to a violent meltdown.
Jordan seems to have differnet powers in their gender, with the male form being more durable and strong seeing how he uses it to tank luke's hits while the female form has some sort of force push power
Thats such a cool concept
Loving that character, so interesting and strong
Jordan in male form becomes invulnerable, in female form, shoots energy blasts.
Im still confused bout what real Jordan gender before get the compound V lol
@@ibanez1634Jordan was born as a male
Theory time: Marie’s sister probably also got Compound V when she was a baby, so she’s out there with powers (or about to reach puberty and get powers).
Theory theory time: I think she’s trapped under the school just like Sam. Explains why the reporter said all they could find of her was an email and she responded that she didn’t want to speak to her. That was the dean’s fake email trying to get Marie to stop looking for her.
@McAllisterCo Wow you may be right👌🏾
That is probably correct but Maybe but because either it happened so fast and he didn’t realize it was her powers but Marie’s dad seems confused so my theory for right now is maybe Marie’s mom was injected with out knowing because I doubt Homelander was the first person to use V unauthorized on people
Her sister is probably the fire breather or if not they gave her the powers of telepathy but she is being nerfed by the “woods”
@@omertaiscode2105pretty sure her name was Betsy. Considering they didn’t change Sam’s name, they probably wouldn’t change Annabeth’s (?).
Expected something amazing, got something that exceeded all my expectations. I want to watch the rest now so bad...
Pretty sure Jordan Li’s powers aren’t just changing gender. We were told in male form, they have steel skin, and in female form they can use some sort of energy projection. We saw them alternating between forms to do offense and defense in the fight with Golden boy
Yep there’s reason he’s the second one
@@dieforwenqingliveformengzo3241they're*
Jordan was the most kick ass out of all the characters introduced so far. The first three episodes was 🔥
Not sure why people keep saying A-Train was the first black member when Black Noir was, unless it's just because his identity was hidden.
Yeah that's probably it. If you remember from The Boys season 3 Nicaragua flashback, Stan Edgar told Black Noir to keep his mask on, mentioning they didn't want people to see his identity (also the fact they want to keep the "silent ninja" persona)
Soldier boys team was called payback not the seven
💯
@@jayling8086 noir was still in the seven before a train
The only reason we know his black is because they showed it to us in a flashback, otherwise there's no way to know for sure
Cate keeps saying she’s been pushing too many people lately, I think she was pushing Golden boy and she’s more connected than she was letting on
I don't think she was, maybe people around him to help him but not him specifically since he asked her and she refused
@@marcofava that was most likely to get rid of any possible future suspicion from him of being pushed by her, if she says no when he asked he wouldn’t ever accuse her in the future, this is the boys universe any people you think are good could be villains
Well you got your answer ep 5🤷🏻♂️
From all the breakdowns I’ve watched, no one has mentioned two things
1 Chance and Jaz were co-stars on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
2 The empath’s powers are most like the “I heard a rumor” girl on Umbrella Academy
That second one is just basic telekinetic abilities though. Jean Grey does it in x-men, as does Xavier himself.
@@SSD_Penumbra not exactly. In these two instances, it’s a verbal command that enacts the ability. A telepath doesn’t have to speak out loud to control someone, let alone touch someone first. What these two girls do is more like hypnosis than true telepathy.
Well remember… old man Hagreves convinced her to think she has to say “I heard a rumor…” so he could keep control of when she was using her power… or to keep her from doing it on him without him knowing… that a.shole
Emma is instantly my favourite character. Easily the perfect hero of the show for me. So selfless and brave
Madam minstrel 👨🎤
I am beyond excited. Peak is back and now with the complimentary breakdown videos 😭🔥
You already know!
How did they somehow elevate the storytelling of an already amazing series? It’s absolutely fun to watch and there’s such good acting and writing.
😂😂😂
Woke garbage
@@ojn4972 why u laughing?
Bruuuu, what? This is the most by the book thing I've seen all year.
It definitely didn't elevate from the boys. The storytelling, writing and most of all, acting, is miles better in the boys. Gen V has been an entertaining side story, like the boys version of X-Men meets Riverdale. It definitely feels more like one of the shows they make fun of with the stiff acting from Marie, Andre and Cara.
Glad to see this spin-off isn't just a cash grab like with The Walking Dead's spin-offs. GEN V actually justifies it's existence by being really good so far. Here's hoping the quality holds up through the whole season! 🤞
it feels like Sky High but mature
That’s why twd spin offs have actually been good and people like them? Or I forgot some random dude with boulder in his name speaks for everyone.
@@Chris.Smith420 They pull in less views per episode than a popular CZcamsr does in an hour lil bro 💀
Gen V is supposedly important for season 4 of the Boys.
@@Karlach_ oh yeah views matter towards people’s enjoyment of a show I forgot, “lil bro”. Imagine throwing insults over shit as small as this. We done here bud?
Theory time: I think Marie’s sister is trapped under the school just like Sam. Explains why the reporter said all they could find of her was an email and she responded “that she didn’t want to speak to her.” That was the dean’s fake email trying to get Marie to stop looking for her.
I looked for her name on the computer and it wasn’t there
@@Jealod24 I had the same thought earlier and checked the computer scene as well. It could be lower on the list perhaps.
I don’t think that would stop them from doing it, her name could be lower in the list, she could have been briefly adopted therefor it was changed. They could make it work.
Did we see Betsy’s name on the computer list? If not Betsy could be a nickname for Annabeth… maybe lol
@@McAllisterCo there was no Betsy, Annabeth or anyone with Moreau last name. Also the screen doesn't have vertical scroll bar, thus there were no lower on the list. But, it could still possible that there are more secret level in the woods and Her data not saved in the laptop.
Patrick S has some serious acting chops. So many emotional/crying scenes so far and he's nailed it
well he is in the industry for a long time now amd his father is a well knowm actor, he should be in more project
also the actor for andre was in the chilling adventures of sabrina which is apart of the riverdale universe so he might of been one of the characters referenced
Nice catch
So was Marie! I’m so happy they got leading roles this time around
marie was roz in caos too
This is what I want from a streaming series. In a way, it's as good, maybe better, than The Boys outside of season 1. The acting is great and it's some fresh faces to add to the universe. Great 3 episodes so far.
Better? After only 3 episodes? Ehhh. That's a huge stretch. The characters are complex and interesting but not quite the same level of compelling as Billy Butcher or Hughie or Homelander. Its good at being its own thing so far though.
Only 3 somewhat decent episodes and it’s already better than all of the seasons of the boys, bar the first.. do you know how many shows starts off good in the first few episodes that end up leading no where good. Not saying that this will happen. But you can’t possibly believe that to be true already 😂
A few thoughts:
I think Jordan's powers involve shifting their molecular makeup when they transform which is why they were able to remove the bullet shot by Brink and avoid injuries from Luke.
Next, Jordan's necklace is a combination of pearls and chain which seems to be a reflection of their gender fluid nature.
Last, I don't think Sam was getting an injection, but rather something removed. It looked like a spinal tap procedure which removes spinal fluid. Maybe they are using Supe's genetic samples to make new V?
Jordan seems to be extremely durable and strong in male form, which is why they switched to react to the bullet. During the fight with Golden Boy, Jordan punched in male form, and seemed to have some kind of energy blast or force push type abilities while in female form. Like the power set for both forms seem to be different.
The Boys is one of my all time favorite Series. Love Soldier Boy by Jensen Ackles.
This and Invincible are the only reasons i still keep my Prime Video subscription going
True
Well it also come w amazon prime and amazon gaming soo it has its perks
I never have high expectations for spin-offs, sequels, prequels et all. But this show has me glued to the TV for it's entirety. I wish there were more writers like this for other shows. Most stuff released these days is meh. But the Boys, Gen V, Invincible... so freaking good. This is how you make great entertainment.
I think that the girl form of Jordan can use the invisible wave thing while the male form is more durable.
In the fight Jordan uses girl form for attacking and male form when defending.
Their combo powers was super cool and Jordan is probably the strongest of the remaining main group.
Always been a fan of your channel ...years. Since you hired MT though I appreciate you're channel and you even more. MT is a GREAT dude, always been one of my favorites. I'm a Nerd Baby, what can I say. It's hard for CZcamsrs when things don't pan out and you reached out and supported MT. You helped us not lose a true talent because of your appreciation. To me that means something. Thank you.
This Boys spin off is off to a great/insane start.
Just finished all three and gotta admit they where banger after banger! Hyped for this season, and of course watching your breakdowns.
so quick!! best recap here
Jordan’s powers change depending on which state they are in. It seems they are more durable and stronger when male. And have the force pushing ability when they are a female.
I hope we get to see a cameo of soldier boy
How come no one is mentioning that Andre, Luke, & Cate are giving throuple vibes? 😅
Well, they've established that both boys already had 'intercourse' with her. There are still episodes left for another flashback...
just finished watching the 3 episodes that dropped and so excited to watch this breakdown video. Freaking show is great, I love it
Thanks for the video Paul! Just finished this, and I loved it! Definitely excited for everything in The Boys universe!
Nothing makes me laugh more then your breakdowns Paul 😂 thank you for all the laughs so far. On the show, absolutely blew past my expectations as The Boys always does. Can’t wait to see the set up to season 4 !!!
They were giving Sam a Spinal Tap (not an injection), likely to use his spinal fluid as part of their compound v research
Your stuff is amazing bruv keep it up. Loved the joke at 2.30
If you go on the god u website irl there’s a little alumni’s sections and everyone gets a little blurb about them but the deeps reads “Deep was privileged and thankful to attend God U.” 😭😭
Very much been worth the like and subscribe, MUST highly reccomened
LUKE’S gf was definitely wiping his mind without him knowing about his brother after he saw him and it resulted in him having flashbacks and he flipped when he discovered the truth. His gf is up to something you can tell she’s SKETCHY
Her power is clearly enough for her to be ranked right underneath him she seems to be apart of what the school has going on she literally walks and does as she pleases and her meds are probably to numb her thoughts I’m sure she can do a lot more than just direct people with her touch I think she can rework their thoughts and make people do as she pleases most likely
I thought the story was that Sam killed himself AFTER that time Luke saw him? Or am I just wrong abt that?
@@omertaiscode2105apparently, she made you forget how to use punctuation
Knew it haha
I just watched the 3 episodes and I was hooked. This was a great video and you knocked this video out of the park! Great job,I was waiting for this after your hint in your podcast. I was pleasantly pleased to see this video within moments after binging the 3 dropped episodes. Please keep doing this. Just for a suggestion, can you do a DEEPDIVE (yelling becUse the idea is epic and you ONLY could do it justice) on Casablanca? Tour "old movie takes" are wonderful and as a film historian I would love to have your take on it all with that story. Adore you and the channel.
oh yeah definitely wanna cover casablanca, incredible film, thanks so much for the kind words
This was fire man!!
I really love all of the symbolism throughout the Boys universe. A lot is subtle, but once you see it and get it, it makes the shows that much more enjoyable.
It's like foreplay frfr
I figured the hammering the needle or whatever in Sam's lower back was some kind of spinal tap. You mentioned in the video that they developed V24 by experimenting on supes. So would maybe make sense that some version of V compound may come from various biological material of living supes (e.g. spinal fluid).
I had taken a massive nap earlier in the day, and waking up at midnight to this was awesome! Guess I watch the episodes
Not that it should matter, but Andre also mentions how he’s very attracted to A-Train and he reacts to a guy’s gaze at the club. So it’s safe to say he’s bisexual, but not open to his dad or due to his expectations, he will keep it on the DL. I think he also had a crush on his best friend Luke, but of course it can also be a purely male platonic love for their friendship. I think he might have had sex with Cate out I’m of grief of missing Luke so much (as he mentioned).
Totally, tbh I think him and luke were platonic but I thing it could be interesting if it wasn't
Great video brother 👍
I’m immediately obsessed with this show oh my god
One of my favorite parts of the show is seeing the duality of Jordan 🫡.
I want more Golden Boy and Polarity in flashbacks. I think theres a way to get more fights with them. Also I hope Andre returns in the Boys main show
Nice breakdown!
I THUMBED UP YOUR VIDEO. I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTENT.
Thank you 🙏
Im so keen for this. I love the boys so far. But uhh lol red river. Very relevant atm 😂😂 love that your friend says that
Just binged the first 3 episodes. Loving it so far. Jumanji!
all 3 episodes were absolute amaze balls 🔥🔥
Shows like this are too intense for me to watch, so I low-key appreciate these vids.
You made me hit the like button right at the 30-minute mark! All references to the like button are hilarious!! 😂 This video is absolutely phenomenal, and I’m really enjoying your content-your sense of humor, especially, stands out. Thanks for lighting up my day
Here for the Queen Maeve funko pop, happy to continue to throw that thumbs up every video and great video AS ALWAYS
This is looking to be the best spin off ever...
It's really wild actually how perfectly suited each character's power set is to thematically exploring each young adult social issue. a sign of good writing is when the plot, characters, and themes seem to interact effortlessly, and I gotta say this show really feels effortless and I mean that in the best possible way
I felt like Golden Boy was more of a parody of Firestorm from DC Comics. Even his shirt looked similar. I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet.
Why was Luke kind of tweaking out in the scene when he when the suit got revealed to him??? Kinda like someone was watching him…
I hope she’ll start being able to make shapes with her blood and stuff. Making it less messy and more marketable lol
When i first saw her powers my first thought was, i wonder if she can clean it up too 😂
i swear she could be like skarlet from mk11 if she honed her powers further
brink’s had a folder on his laptop called “the woods”. man’s never hidden pornography on a family computer before. shoulda called it “Q3Ademo” or something.
Loving this show so far! 🔥 curious where this all leads!
3:05 is what gets me spitting my drink and coming back for every video
The Rodney dangerfield mumble take made me lol. Nice one.
this is fire
Just watched the first three ep wow very intense can't wait for ep4
Its rlly impressive how the show only came out today and you already made a breakdown of the first 3 episodes!! Best youtuber 🔥
He gets the episodes early
@@Loch1210 meh still impressive
Anyone else notice that Little Cricket’s name (Emma Meyer) is nearly the same actress who plays Enid on Wednesday (Emma Myers)? Both characters are the roommate of the main character, both have short blonde hair, both are more colorful and outgoing than their roommate, and both have dysfunctional relationships with their mothers. Seriously, this cannot be a coincidence.
Looks like a promising new series, thanks Paul. Hope the family is doing well bro 👍🏼
ey thank you, yeah im really enjoying the show too, great first 3 episodes
@@SuperBrahimoscry more

A comment on Jordans powers. Its actually really interesting.
They shift between genders in miliseconds, which takes some cellular shenanigans to do properly, and would produce INSANE amounts of energy every time it happened.
During the fight with golden boy you can see jordan shifting to protect themselves, creating kinetic fields to both push, punch, and absorb energy.
Super cool!
Enjoyed the first 3 episodes and to be honest, the show is greater than expected and is getting better with each episode it seems! Also something you missed Maverick, the R.A. - is Translucent's son, this was said at Translucent's funeral scene in The Boys season 2
Great start to this show. The characters are so well developed.
The way you said theory time in this video was hilarious
They killed Mr. Krabbs. Missed opportunity there where she mentioned Shaw shank and show the clip from that movie with Clancy Brown. The lady orderly serving the meals reminded me of the lady guard in Terminator 2 where they both have bandages/cast of left arm - and we all know golden boy is played by arnie's son.
Pls break down Daek City!
I think you've missed that Jordan has two more power as a male invulnerability and as a female melee enhanced telekinesis you can see it when she's punching golden boy.
I think she supressed it during the interview to show her sister she is a hero so she'll do whatever it takes to do that. When I say to do that, I mean to prove to her she isn't a monster but a hero. Which is why she didn't name drop her some what friend during it.
Thank you Paul.
Very welcome
@@heavyspoilers 👊🏻
Dude I love your humor. Lol
I feel like The Woods are working on a way to take down Homelander amd/or others. That line that guard said about Supes feeling like they’re invincible and activating that sound device
That Dave skit insert is brilliant
See this helps a LOT with me having to wait a whole week before i can get another ep :3
Bloody, bloody, but awesome and thrilling, so yeah 🥳👌
12:37 I don't know how common it is in all American colleges, but my college dorm rooms also didn't allow for students to open them in case students jumped or fell out the window.
The little woodland critters on the walls of the woods are the same ones black noir sees in his ptsd cartoon trio in season 3
Note that everyone thought A-Train was the first black member of the Seven because Black Noir’s identity was hidden
Seeing the experiments on sam and the collection of Golden Boys dna( and that left over piece) they might be able to clone him? Idk.
Wholly shid what a great show and epic breakdown! Let's go Gen V!!!!
Thought that Golden Boy's outfit in the show was really reminiscent of Ozymandias in Watchmen, anyone else?
You’re the best.
Jordan's ability is not just gender changing though - it is obvious from the show they have dual powers, especially when they change between genders in the fight with Golden Boy, when they change their sex to utilise their different powers - psionic blasts in their female form and invulnerability as a male.
Push also the name of the movie starring Chris Evans, where people with similar mind control powers are called pushers.
Yesssss
Funny how Sam had a payback and black noir poster lol
More likely the “push” ability of Cate is referring to the 1980 Stephen King novel Firestarter. As a student, the father of the firestarter had participated in a drug trial that gave him mental powers (and his girlfriend/future wife mild telekinesis) that he referred to as “the push”. Using it also caused him physical effects such as nosebleeds.
