> In God U, Compound V-enhanced college kids spend four years training and honing their powers for the chance to be drafted to one of the U.S.’s major cities where they’ll fight crime and reap the glory. Like the Seven’s A-Train (Jessie T. Usher), The Deep (Chace Crawford), Queen Maeve (Dominique McElligott), and more, who are notorious alums of the Godolkin, Gen V’s new crop will fight tooth and nail to earn—or take—their spot on top.

Ohhhh this is going to be hot garbage isn’t it?

I’ll definitely give it a shot but I’m not optimistic

Seems like it may depend how well they're able to keep the tone of the original or of they lean into some YA bullshit.

Idk The Boys was pretty good overall I feel, just because they’re making a spin-off doesn’t have to mean it’ll be bad.

Though I will say, I am so tired of things being based in college - but that might be just me.

I love the boys. It’s one of my favorite shows. I was even a moderator on the sub for a while.

I just don’t think this show sounds good at all.

At first blush it didn’t to me either, but when I saw that (and idk how true this really is) it was the idea of being a play on X Men - I got more into it. I feel like the writers probably know the pitfalls to avoid, they know we don’t just want to watch horny teens - so I’m excited for it.

It is quite literally (loosely) adapting the one major arc of The Boys the main television series elected to skip, yes, featuring their take on the X-Men (the G-Men, the ‘G’ being the Godolkin of this series’ Godolkin University / God U).
