Just finished Gen V S1.  Really enjoyed it up until the last episode which was shite!

Coincidence! I finished it this morning too and had the same thought. It made literally no sense and sold out some of the characters I thought.

Overall though the series was much better than I thought.

Finished it last night too, was thinking the same. They have everything that happened on camera so how did they blame those four?

My guess about the show is that the makers/studio got cold feet towards the end and wanted to bring it a lot closer to The Boys. Culminating with

Spoiler

Homelander cameo which makes sense since the PR bitch was in trouble and the shit hit the fan, but what doesn't make sense is how he can lazer Moreau without killing her. Unless he was deliberately pulling his punches to spare them on purpose for some reason which will come out in the next season of Boys or Gen V.

Overall I liked the show a lot more than I thought I would despite the final episode being one of the weakest. Can't see how anyone who likes Boys would not like this.

Homelander has lasered a few people without killing them; Stormfront, Butcher and now Moreau. It's been suggested numerous times that she's stronger than she realises so her surviving that hit is another hint at that.

Gen V seemed to take place after the events of the last season of The Boys, so I think we might see little to no overlap between the two next season, other than maybe a teaser at the end. Them getting locked in that room seems a neat way of saying they won't be involved for a bit at least.

EXACTLY my though.  Gen Z film fucking EVERYTHING and what happened there would no doubt have been live-streamed.

Their phones were all supplied by Vought so it's feasible they were remotely shut off to prevent any leaks, and presumably even teens still prefer to get away from people being murdered before whipping their phones out.

In any case it's an oversight I don't mind, it's a difficult thing to always be aware of and to write around without having to constantly explain it.

The outtakes/bloopers that were released yesterday are great. Especially Star as Homelander at the end. C Bombs in his own NZ accent.

The trailer for season 4 is released tomorrow.

There was a scene after Moreau pressed the button in Shetty's office with the two girls who fucked over Emma saying the wifi/data was off. Anyone not stuck outside was then stuck inside after that as well.

Not good news! Chance Perdomo, who played Andre in Gen V (the student with magnetic abilities and dad issues) has died after a motorcycle accident, aged 27.
