(trailer review) - Gen V: Season 2

It feels like it has been a long time since the last Gen V show, but it has only been two years. The show aired two years ago, and whilst I am not saying this should be a yearly thing (and it probably should be), but there have been so many movies and other shows consumed in between then and now, that when I try to think about this show, I am struggling to remember what happens in it. The one thing I do remember as clear as day is that during the filming of this season, the actor Chance Perdomo passed away due to a motorcycle crash, which hit all fans of the show and fans of his work. He was a young star, and I noticed him from the 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'. I had not recognised him in anything, but he was so good in his performance, and again, in this show, so good in his performance. He had this resentment and angst about his father, who he was, and it seemed like going forward, he would have had a bigger part to play in the story of Gen V, along with Marie. I remember the students discovering that there are students being experimented on, and they were led to believe a student took his own life when, in fact, he was killed. Then, Homelander shows up, stating that the best super in the university is able to join The Seven, something along those lines. This trailer seems to continue that, but Chance has not been recast.

So Marie came into her powers and now studies at Godolkin University School of Crimefighting, but with the students investigating what has been going on, Marie is in fear for her life and has been on the run, until Starlight shows up, stating she needs to go back to school. There is a new Dean who used to be at the hidden science facility. And with Project Odessa being the focus of the investigation, Marie needs to try and figure out what it is, whilst honing her skills to become an even more powerful sup, and it looks like there is an angle of revenge and justice for Andre, who looks to have been killed as part of the storyline as his father looks to have a bigger role and even looks to have a confrontation with Black Noir. I have not seen The Boys show in a while, and I am up to speed, but I will need a rewatch or recap of it all. But this season looks like it is all kicking off, especially as the next season of The Boys is meant to be the last. I am definitely tuning in as this looks great, plus this franchise's storytelling has always been well done.
