“The Guardians of Godolkin”
Man, the Gen V finale was brutal.
It was also tough because of the connection to the school shootings that have been a stain on our country over the last couple decades plus. However, the use of superpowers instead of guns did help make it less horrific.
Still very brutal, however.
Cate and Sam lead an assault on the Godolkin campus, killing a ton of people and using her mind control ability to make other super powered students aid them in the slaughter as well as those super powered kids from The Woods that Cate and Sam freed.
This all led to a massive showdown between Cate and Marie, where Marie exploded the blood from her arm as she reached to control Jordan. Then, a shocker…
Homelander!
And not only was there Homelander, but he blasted Marie. The news ended up treating Cate and Sam as the new Guardians of the Godolkin and that Marie, Andre, Emma and Jordan were the ones who were doing the attacks. They end up in a room with no doors and captured. There is no way to know what is planned for these characters who are now seen as the terrorists that have attacked Godolkin.
Then, in a mid-credit scene… Billy Butcher!
This is clearly heading into the next season of The Boys. I am curious to see how this group of characters from Gen V fit into the next season.
