- Trivia(~20 minutes into the episode) Justine (Maia Jae Bastidas) is heard talking about a show she's about to star in, calling it "...a limited series on Vought Plus. It's an elevated superhero thing. Really a meditation on grief told through 70 years of sitcoms."
This is a reference to the Disney+ original show WandaVision (2021), which stars Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) as a superhero who's going through exactly what Justine is describing.

Featured review
Pretty good start.
The first episode of Gen V presents a promising start to the series. One standout element is the character of Marie, who possesses super creative powers and exhibits intriguing motivations and a cool backstory. Marie's portrayal as a true hero resonates with me, and her dialogue is notably unique, adding depth to her character. Additionally, her chemistry with Golden Boy is a highlight, demonstrating a strong dynamic between the two characters. However, I note that to form a more definitive opinion, further character development is required, leaving room for potential growth and exploration.
Gen V impressively captures the essence of the older section of Gen Z and young millennials, representing them in a way that feels authentic and true to life. It manages to navigate the fine line of depicting this demographic without succumbing to stereotypes or criticism, particularly with its realistic portrayal of modern college campuses.
The episode introduces a new layer to the Boys, setting the stage for potential developments that could spice up the storyline in a positive way. This injection of fresh perspectives and characters adds intrigue to the show's overarching narrative.
While the show occasionally veers into a tone reminiscent of CW series, I express my preference for it over that style. This suggests that Gen V successfully strikes a balance between familiarity and originality in its presentation.
However, the portrayal of Marie's relationship with Emma receives criticism from me. I find it unrealistic and reminiscent of fictional bonds like those in Harry Potter, lacking believability. The chemistry between them feels forced and not reflective of how individuals like them would interact in real life.
The side cast, including characters like Golden Boy and Andre, shows potential. Golden Boy's concept is intriguing, but I acknowledge the need for further exploration. Andre's character and powers are appreciated, but his likability is in question.
Despite some shortcomings, the episode sets a compelling stage for future developments in the series. It leaves me excited and eager to see how the story and characters will evolve.
In terms of humor, while the comedy in Gen V hasn't fully resonated with me, I recognize its potential and room for improvement. It may not have reached the comedic heights of other series, but there's hope for growth in this aspect.
Clancy Brown's character stands out as a potential compelling villain, provided the show continues to develop his character effectively.
The final act of the episode is a strong point, as it effectively sets up the overarching narrative of the series, leaving me with a sense of anticipation and curiosity.
In conclusion, the pilot episode of Gen V earns a respectable 7/10 rating from me. It showcases promising elements, including intriguing characters, an authentic representation of its target demographic, and a setup that piques my interest.
