In its fifth episode, the second season of Gen V Step on the throttle and finally position its two most important pieces in the center of the board: Marie (Jaz sinlair, Sabrina’s Dark World) and Cipher (Hamish Linklater, Midnight mass). With impactful revelations about the nature of its powers, the plot gains a new layer of complexity and urgency, keeping the public aware of the inevitable approaching collision. However, while the series finds its focus, it also approaches dangerously the shadow of The Boysyour mother series.

What differentiated Gen V It was precisely his space to explore the psyche of superpowers, treating his trauma and insecurities as the true catalyst of his skills. This approach, unfortunately, seems to be losing place for increasingly direct connections with the universe of The Boys. The charismatic and terrifying CipherUndoubtedly the big hit of the season, it acts as the engine of this change, dragging the narrative to the great conspiracy we already know.

The clearest example of this side effect is the arch of Emma (Lizze Broadway). From the beginning, the character carries immense potential to discuss topics such as self -esteem and image disorders, but the season played it in comic relief plots and a love triangle that is not entitled to its complexity. The same happens with Jordan (Derek Luh/London Thor). These characters, with which we have already created a strong affective bond, seem to become excess that the script doesn’t know how to deal with, losing the brilliance they had in the first year.

On the other hand, this is the episode of Marie. If before the character carried the burden of the “chosen” reluctantly, here she finally begins to embrace the dimension of her power. Series A build almost like a messianic figure, a kind of “Jesus” to this universe, and the final scene, in which it accomplishes a feat that challenges one’s life, solidifies this position. Its evolution is the perfect counterpoint to Cipherestablishing the great conflict that should define not only the end of the season, but perhaps the future of the entire universe of the franchise.

With this, this new episode stands as a crucial episode. It delivers the revelations that the public expected and raises the tension to a new level, but does so at the cost of part of the identity it made Gen V so special. It remains to be seen if, in the final stretch, the series will be able to balance their own dramas with the demands of the larger plot, without sacrificing the characters who made us love it first.
