Reply to comment by ingloriousbaxter3 in 'The Boys' Spinoff 'Gen V' Will Be a Mystery With "Lots of Blood" by impeccabletim

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).
