Gen V is stronger than The Boys: they built a giant penis on set!
“It’s not our style to create penises in VFX!”
In just four episodes, Gen V has already managed to do dirtier than The Boys…in terms of the number of penises on screen. This week, the trashy series even gave us a delicious explosion, which fans call the “Cocksplosion”. Spoiler alert!
About to be abused by Rufus (Alexander Calvert), a psychic student who hypnotizes girls, Marie wakes up and in the chaos accidentally uses her bloodbending powers… The blood nearby is that of her attacker being pumped by his machine which dangles between her bare thighs. Marie accelerates the flow until Rufus’ penis swells. It swells like a balloon and ends up exploding!
“We call it a Cocksplosion, I think. Yeah, it’s a cock explosion.”, laugh executive producers Eric Kripke and Michele Fazekas, interviewed by Variety. “Straight guys love penises. They love talking about them, watching them. It’s true that a penis is so funny… They’re the strangest things. They’re just hilarious.”
The spin-off Gen V is not afraid to go gorier than the original series, but the producers promise that they are not in a race for one-upmanship: “We never thought that when we said we wanted to surpass The Boys. This scene is about an explosion of cocks, sure. But it comes from many women, among the authors of Gen V, who went to college and had these shitty experiences with guys in college. Facing a predator, where they felt in danger. What interests us first is not the scandalous, it’s the story.”
This bursting penis follows the sexual sequence between Emma and her boyfriendin episode 1, which asked her to shrink so that she could give him pleasure from the inside… An epic sequence where Marie’s young roommate finds herself attached to a penis that is three times her size !
And the production did indeed have a giant penis made, in real life, on the set: “We built a 1.60 meter penis and enhanced it with visual effects. It’s not our style to create a penis entirely in VFX.”the producers laugh before justifying: “I think it was important, for the sake of verisimilitude, that we create this penis in a practical way. When we wrote that scene in the pilot, as shocking as it was, it was first and foremost about Emma’s self-esteem. It’s about being lured and forced to do something sexually that she’s not comfortable with. It really costs him….”
Gen V continues every Friday on Prime Video.
