When The Boys became the most popular series on Amazon Prime Video, the platform knew very well that it could not miss the opportunity to exploit the franchise as much as possible. For this reason, during 2020 they gave the green light to a spin-off, and today we finally have the first trailer of the same. If you’re a fan of the grotesque main series, it looks like this alternate production, titled Gen Vyou will not be disappointed.
Gen V does not forget its roots and relies on the same formula that catapulted the success of The Boys. A combination of violence, sex and a politically incorrect tone. If we add to the above that the narrative is focused on adolescents who still do not understand the world around them and, therefore, ignore the consequences of their actions, imagine the enormous number of ridiculous situations that can be enjoyed.
The spin-off of The Boys follows the experiences of a group of students attending Godolkin University’s Crime Fighting School. Basically, it’s a american training academy sups directed by Vought herself. Yes, the same company that runs the superhero business in this fictional universe. The interesting thing is that, just as they are completely indifferent to the actions of Los Siete, they are also completely indifferent to their students.
The latter will do everything possible to attract the attention of Vought and get a place in one of the groupings of sups. If they have to resort to illegal actions to continue climbing in their still short career, they will have no hesitation in doing so.
