Amazon's The Boys Spinoff Plan Has A Crucial Flaw That Could Ruin The Franchise

Gen V’s potential downfall explained.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Amazon Prime's upcoming The Boys spin-off, Gen V, has one crucial potential flaw working against it linking to the broader franchise. Gen V was confirmed in 2020 as a spin-off to the core show, focusing on the lives of teenage superheroes enrolled in a Vought college to see who makes it as a supe after education.

Gen V Needs To Be Grosser Than The Boys - But That's Difficult The potential pitfall Gen V will face is that it will be expected to be grosser than The Boys. Despite the Gen V show's trailer highlighting a similar tone to The Boys, it will be difficult for any show to outclass the latter regarding gross-out humor. That said, Gen V needs to do so due to the college setting.

Gen V Succeeding Could Make The Boys Season 4 Look Tame In spite of the difficulty of Gen V overcoming The Boys' gross-out humor, the former succeeding could bring unwanted ramifications to the latter. If Gen V manages to depict regular teen college movie-style comedy with the added diabolical humor of The Boys' universe, it would be much more outrageous than anything seen in the main show thus far.
