Once again, a similar thread connects Gen V and The Boys Season 3 — and we're not just talking about that Soldier Boy cameo.
The Big Picture The latest episode of Gen V, "Jumanji," delivered twist after twist for its superpowered protagonists. The bulk of the episode was dedicated to the revelation that Cate had been using her psychic powers to brainwash the other students, leading to them missing days' worth of memories. But the end result saw Cate spiraling into a coma, as the use of her powers took a toll on her body.
"Jumanji" was a creative way to bring most of the plot threads in Gen V to a head, from Marie and her friends solidifying their bonds to Dean Shetty making a discovery that can turn the world of Gen V and The Boys on its head. But it also bears a striking resemblance to the Season 3 episode of The Boys titled "Here Comes A Candle To Light You To Bed.
In a similar vein, Gen V sees all the characters dealing with the darkness of their past. Andre hasn't just been hooking up with Cate after the death of Golden Boy ; the duo had been cheating on the pyrokinetic behind his back. Jordan knew about Golden Boy's attempts to find his brother Sam and helped Professor Brink pacify him.
Interestingly enough, Gen V showrunner Michelle Fazekas actually used the Mindstorm scene as a guide to shape the episode while setting it apart from The Boys. "It's not the exact same power, but it's a psychic ability. What we loved about it was allowing our characters to experience with Cate her memories versus doing flashbacks or someone telling a story," she told Entertainment Weekly.
