Gen V explains Victoria Neuman’s powers and it changes everything before season 4 of The Boys
Episode 7 delivered new revelations that will have a definite impact on the parent series.
It is undeniably the plot most connected to The Boys. Episode 7 of Gen V, released last week on Prime Video, revealed some important elements for the story of the parent series. Spoiler alert!
Senator Victoria Neuman, the one who said she was fighting Homelander but made heads explode in her path, paid a little bloody visit to God University. She revealed that she was Marie’s benefactress, the one who helped her get into the famous university. For what ? Because both women have the same power. Like Marie Moreau, Victoria Neuman can manipulate blood as she wishes and especially as a weapon. Except that she masters her gift much better. She can read everyone’s blood and control everyone’s blood. That’s how she makes heads explode, near or far. Marie got a taste of this enormous power, blowing a fellow pervert’s penis!
“The idea is that we can see Genot V without ever having looked The Boys. These stories stand independently, but everything is connected. The very essence of these two series is that they take place in the same universe. So, in a way, they are 100% connected.” confirms co-showrunner Michele Fazekas in TVLine. He then specifies that the idea of linking the powers of Marie and Victoria arrived very late in the script and was not premeditated at the start.
But he also knows that this episode of The Boys is a “game changer.” Also because the demonic senator now has in her hands a deadly virus (the one made in the “woods” by Dean Shetty), capable of killing all the Supes. And this will inevitably have consequences for season 4 of The Boys : “I will say that we discussed it with (boss) Eric Kripke…” In other words, yes, episode 7 of Gen V will have repercussions on the parent series.
And besides, he made Cate the most dangerous and powerful character in the series after Homelander: “She is the most powerful Gen V. I knew it as soon as I read the pilot. At first, she just doesn’t know it and she’s just on a leash. But in reality, if such a person really existed, they would have to be killed or confined. There is no way this could exist in a society, its power is so enormous. And with the power of Sam at her side, we understand that Cate is on a new path.”
Will she now be the big villain of the series? Gen V will conclude Friday on Prime Video.
