The fatigue that haunts superhero movies from major labels like Marvel or DC does not seem to be infecting the series-loving universe of Prime Video. The Boys It has won the audience’s loyalty with its graphic violence and its twist on the genre, being one of the most suggestive and attractive layers and meshes on the current audiovisual panorama.
The Amazon platform launched last year Gene V, spin-off of The Boys which took us to Godolkin University created by Vought, where a handful of young protagonists were working on their gifts to become the next members of the Seven. The university chaos was thus intermingled with explosive situations (literally) and a sinister event that put the students in check.
Jaz Sinclair (The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) She led the cast as Marie Moreau, a first-year student with the ability to manipulate her blood. They accompanied her Patrick Schwarzenegger like Golden Boy, Chance Perdomo (who passed away in March) in the shoes of Andre Anderson or Lizze Broadway giving life to Emma Meyer, among others.
In its episodes, the series made it clear that it inherited from The Boys gore and brutality, and also kept references that allowed us to place its plot within the timeline of the fiction of Homelander (Antony Starr) and company, which premieres its fourth season on June 13 on Prime Video.
The chronology of ‘Gen V’ and ‘The Boys’, season 4
Gene V can be enjoyed without having followed The Boys, but the bet also has winks and references for fans who have seen the original series. Without going any further, several heroes like A-Train, Ashley Barrett, The Deep or Adam Bourke appear in their first episodes.
In addition, Gene V mentions several events The Boys, allowing us to place the plot of its first season shortly after the end of the third installment of the original fiction. In the first minutes of the pilot episode, one of Marie’s companions in Red River mentions that Starlight has left the Seven, something that happened after the superhero orgy known as Herogasm in the third season.
On the other hand, Gene V shows the tower of the Seven destroyed after the battle against Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles) in the third installment and alludes to how Homelander killed a protester. The series also shows that not much time has passed since these events: the tower is under construction, there are no details about Homelander’s crime and Starlight’s departure from the group is recent.
And, for more information, the race for the presidency of Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) it’s still going. That being so, it is most likely that only a few months have passed between the end of the third part of The Boys and the start of the first of Gen V.
Thus, the first season of the spin-off is located between the third and fourth installment of the original series, with its end linking directly to The Boys. Cate (Maddie Phillips) and Sam (Asa Germann) They are now allies of Homelander and the Seven, and Butcher (Karl Urban) has discovered the abandoned El Bosque facilities. How will this affect the new installment of The Boys? On June 13 we will clear up doubts.
