@@RecluseBootsy Acting like Clancy (a big-time actor) isn't the one accepting the roles after reading the script or having a basic run down given to him...
The review is actually being very misleading and offering zero context. She doesn't use "period blood" as a weapon. Her power is being able to manipulate and control blood and she didn't learn about the power until her first period. Also the pronoun thing, the character is two people both female and Male (they switch depending on what power set they need) but the dad wants a son so he still uses he/him pronouns even when they're currently female. While he is right about the rest of the review it isn't anywhere near as good as the boys.
@@gimmeyourrights8292 I honestly don't blame you, holywood has poisoned us into thinking that woke = bad writing. And for the most part it is. The woke-oneliners shouldn't be there in the first place. But be that as it may, i'm defending this show because it actually has some merit down the line..... That actually brings up a completely different debate on wether or not you want to give talented writers a chance if they're still going to place garbage woke oneliners in anyway. Because i won't deny that absolutely takes away from a story and is the mere fact why i'm even here having to defend it in the first place.
@@Turtledira A TV show only has one episode to make a good first impression. One. Now in Streaming TV, they release multiple episodes because they aren't confident in that first impression, both of those episodes failed to make that impression. I'm not one of those people who thinks woke=bad writing but I do think that writing is sacrificed to BE woke, which is exactly why everyone in the first episodes is a narcissistic moron. You can have your period blood show, but I'm not gonna sit through it. I have better things to do in one hour.
Too boring. His main story was already laid out in the main series. The cant touch or do anything in the main series because the plans arent 100% clear yet since they steered away from the comics. That's why Gen V happened. Original characters far removed from the main storyline (except for neuman and vought) but adds worldbuilding.
I wanna watch black noir, where we can hear his dialogues in his brain, like we see more of the cartoons that Black Noir has, and more of his backstory, family, and how he gets into the seven, then we have Soldier Boy in the series too, because it's gonna start in that timeline.
It doesn't matter, since the whole idea is to push out garbage like this to such a quantity that this will become the "new normal", as everyone by that point will be not only desensitized to it but also not remember what actual good entertainment was. This will continue to persist long after we are dead and our children will suffer a similar -if not, worse fate, since they will imprint these modern woke shows when they are young and see this as the "standard". All of the old shows that were genuinely good will either be resold to us via shitty remakes/remasters all the while destroying any and all means for people to watch the original, making them lost to the corridors of time itself.
I mean, I don't know. Are times tough for him right now? He has a long ass rap sheet of movies and Tv shows he's been in over the course of literal years, not to mention he is one of the main characters in SpongeBob. He's got to be getting royalties right?
@@CephalonAxii I honestly don't know his financial situation. For all I know, the man handles his money as well as Robert De Niro and is just smart enough not to tell us. Regardless, I don't know why great actors keep getting cast in shit projects like Gen V, but it's led me to believe that being an actor these days ain't all it was cracked up to be in the 90s. It's enough to deter me from pursuing that dream, for sure. I think as soon as they sign a contract with Hollyweird, they own your soul.
@@somedudewhodraws9377I know that kinda pissed me off and made me stop watching the show, the kid is a pretty good actor, especially in the movie “Daniel isn’t Real”. The character Golden Boy was also an important notable character in the comics and lore too, similar to that of Soldier Boy and Black Noir, they could have done so much more with him. They really dropped the ball, and of course said this isn’t a straight white man story lol 😆.
@@jerrym1218 why stop watching a show just because it didn't go the way you were expecting. Luke dying is what motivates his friends to go save his brother Sam. Plus the comics are fucking trash sorry even the boys season 2 and 3 are better then the crappy edgelord comics.
@@moe5020I did end up watching til the end and it was just meh, if you liked it. Cheers 🍻 to you.

They probably would have been better off with a Black Noir spin off in my opinion, that character in the show definitely has an interesting backstory.

I'm also still waiting to see how they're gonna explain how Marie survived a laser blast point blank. It feels like they wrote theirselves into a corner, but are trying to simply gloss it over. Homelander is a bad guy, he's meant to be unlikeable, you don't have to turn his character into a joke just to get that point across.
@@Lava91point0 remember when vince gilligan made gus fring a clown so everyone would hate him? no? and he was still viewed as the antagonist? wow it's almost like writing doesn't have to be on the nose as possible. the qanon parody is the most obvious and shameless crap i've ever seen, it's like making a parody by just showing the real life stuff but with homelander instead of trump lmao. When will people learn it's a pretty bad setting if it's just our world even with things dramatically different like supes? nothing wrong with being similar but at this point it's ridiculous. as if they literally 1:1 trump with homelander
Yeah, because the Boys was totally exclusively about boys^^ The core group was male, yeah, but it’s not like there was not an equal balance of male and female characters regarding screenpresence
Just finished Season 3 of the Boys and I knew I had to watch this, Sat down and only 34 minutes in I pressed out of it. I've watched the reviews and knew full on what would happen and it was actual torture trying to get through it, Went straight to Season 4 instead. Thank you Reaper for saving me eight hours of trouble.
ah yes the boys was only about ''boys'' , forgetting the fact that kimiko, starlight are part of the group too and queen maeve and stormfront are in the seven
When I saw the red hat guy smirk at her, I realized, holy shit, these people are really doing a Covington Catholic reference, years after that narrative imploded. Hollywood really is a bubble.
@@ocboy5163 It's kind of a long story, but I'll try to give you a shorter version: In 2019, a group of students from Covington Catholic high school in Kentucky went on a school trip to the annual March For Life in DC. There were a bunch of other protests going on in the area. A video emerged showing one of the students, wearing a red "MAGA" hat and with a thin smile that many described as a "smirk", standing face to face with an elderly Native American protestor who was beating a drum and chanting. The video went viral, and a ton of people, including many journalists and celebrities, had a meltdown. The video was described as an act of ethnic intimidation, and the kid (Nick Sandmann) was made into a symbol of everything wrong with the world - the ultimate in arrogant Trump racist white male privilege, etc. Death threats poured in, the school had to temporarily shut down out of concern for student safety, and hysterics on social media screamed for the kid to be arrested, expelled, and even physically attacked. Then, slowly, the real story crept out: the kids had been gathered waiting for their buses to arrive, and the other protestors had accosted THEM. Including a group from the "Black Hebrew Israelites" (you can look them up; they're not nice people) who were shouting insults and threats at the students. What people saw as an arrogant racist was really just a kid staying quiet and offering a nervous smile in hopes of de-escalating the situation. The media buried the story as quickly as they could. Sandmann ended up filing lawsuits against multiple media outlets for defamation. Most were dismissed, but he got paid undisclosed settlements by CNN, The Washington Post, and NBC.
@@Ks81914 The male characters constantly look to their female counterparts for approval. Practically every white male character is written as a creepy misogynistic pervert, with penis envy or are borderline pedophilic. Tek Knight is completely emasculated and portrayed as some kind of extreme mechanophile. Dr. Edison Cardosa is Indiras bitch, who gets killed off unceremoniasly by episode 7. Need anymore examples?
@@Ks81914The show was dog 💩. He gives you several reasons why, yet you say he’s making up stuff, yet he even references the part in the show to back his statement. So really, you just don’t like criticism. You think the show was awesome, good for you. But it was 💩
2:45 you nailed it! Kripke despises trump with every fiber of his being and has stated many times that Homelander is Trump. So the fact that so many people love Homelander genuinely bothers Kripke. I guarantee that clown sits in bed at night wondering how he can make people hate Homelander/trump more.
Well homelander is a murderer , narcissist, rapist, egomaniac amongst other things. Doesn’t take much to see why fans of trump would also like homelander.
@@madsisveryreal I find Trump be a flawed individual, but I don't see Homelander particularly anything like Trump to where oh he's such a great commentary on Trump. Homelander is too much of his own thing at this point to make that metaphor land. The hair color and loving America more than anywhere else is basically where the common factors end. May be the version of him the media thinks he is(and you likely buy into), but anyone who actually supports Trump and knows who he is doesn't see Homelander remotely like Trump. Trump might have a huge ego, but he actually does want to help this country even if he will totally be a glory hog about it.(Why else would a guy who could basically retire and never be bothered again allow himself to be attacked over and over if he didn't truly believe in his cause?) Homelander is just facade doesn't care about anyone besides himself. The media actually protects Homelander, while it does nothing but put Trump on blast(and frames everything he does as bad regardless of what it truly is). If the media did that to Homelander he'd gone nuts already. He's way too fragile to handle the media onslaught that Trump regularly endures.(Biden is guilty of everything they accuse trump of is the sad irony.) If Trump was as fragile Homelander he'd killed himself by now, much less want to run for President again. So this idea Homelander lampoons in any meaning way is laughable.
@JohnMarston-sf1vk And yet you'd defend the literal billions of our dollars sent to Ukraine, Israel, and other countries by the Biden administration. Okay buddy. Just admit you have no idea what you're talking about.
A lot of people are saying this show is good and needs to expand the universe but I feel like we’re just made a joke into a reality. A lot of my friends had said that we shouldn’t need this show. It’s already a problem, That being anyone with superpowers will not be responsible for their actions. It’s common sense how these so called “heroes” act like they didn’t do anything wrong.
You didn't push hard enough. The only groaners in the show are in early episode one and one time in episode 2... beyond that point, it's a really good show.
Pretty sure flinging bodily fluids is illegal... like everywhere, all the time. Not to mention disgusting as you already pointed out. I look forward to a hero flinging their shit next episode; call himself Monkeyman. I didn't think things could get any worse, but they keep seeing it as a challenge. Great review!
I pushed through and i'm actually glad to say that i did. In a time not much is anything remotely close to being good. The episodes beyond episode 1 and the first half of episode 2 were just as good as the boys.
Gen V was unnecessary. If they wanted to give us something until The Boys came back, they could have done prequels or episodes further explaining the world of The Boys using characters we already know until they can write more material to continue the story. The Boys was pretty progressive already as well. In The Boys, the heroes were a group of diverse individuals of various skin colors and nationalities with the main villains in the show being a corrupt corporation, a blonde, blue-eyed patriot, and a literal Nazi. The Nazi was beaten up in a full-on girl power moment where the main female characters banded together. It's like someone working on Gen V asked "How do we make this even more obvious we lean one way politically?" And then, the producers said "Yes."
Yeah, they could’ve done something like Invincible did for the wait of season two. Make a prequel special episode focusing on a certain character or event.
"Her powers are using her period blood as a weapon" The very definition of "Christ, who wrote this?". People actually sat down in an office and greenlit this madness
Gen V I dropped after 2 episodes as well, unironically. It doesn't take much to realize it's a badly written highschool drama show that tries to use sex and gore to cover up its bad writing. Once you strip away the "shock value" of the meaningless explicit content, you find a series about a bunch of shallow characters (who the writers think are interesting) trying to overcome the everyday drama you see zoomers express on Tik Tok. Everybody is an unlikeable asshole for the most part with mental issues. They try to keep it interesting with the "hidden laboratory" subplot, but when the supposed "geniuses" who came up with such a facility are so stupid in terms of security and logistics, you can't help but lose your immersion.
the characters are so so boring it's incredible.The blood girl is the only one with even a hint of personality and in a regular show she'd be the bland lead flanked by better/funnier/more memorable side characters, but in this snoozefest she's surrounded by characters who are somehow even more bland. And the college setting doesn't make any sense... I prefer not to think of this show as happening in the same universe as The Boys because it creates so many weird questions that you just know will be left unanswered.
I disagree, I'm on ep 7 and its brilliant. Yeah the first two were Meh..but Andor first 2 were as well..give it a chance. It really turns it self around
@@thesuncollective1475 I don't know, I made myself watch ep 3 and it was boring as hell too. It's just that the characters are very unlikeable and the mystery is full of plot holes. A secret experimental facility that tortures people? Idk I feel like I've seen this a thousand times before, you'd expect something more original from The Boys universe.
I need more man! I love your reviews and your channel. You always say exactly what you are thinking. Many other channels don’t have the balls to do that. Mad respect brother. Keep these Gen V Videos Coming Please!
You seem to be missing a lot of plot points. Golden boy was worried about his brother Sam. Marie murdered her own parents and is living with the guilt, the whole mensy thing was an accident. Things happen because there is some mystery to the story.
You know, I can't even bring myself to be upset or annoyed by these extremely ultra political shows and movies anymore. I'm so burnt out and exhausted. The only reaction I can muster up anymore is: 😐
I haven't seen this but if her powers come into effect during puberty, and her powers are to control blood, then I don't see the problem with her discovering them via period blood. It's actually quite funny.
I have never heard of this show but I actually gagged when he talked about that girl flinging her period blood everywhere, I'm a woman and have had countless menstrual cycles and I hate how woke society is trying to say "embrace your period so you can embrace your womanhood" because I can understand what they're trying to do but every month I feel like a bloated sea cow who gets uncomfortable gas and has to wear something akin to a diaper because not all period blood comes out like water like the video, some periods clot and it's your body shedding the uterine lining it no longer needs so periods are a waste removal system that shouldn't be celebrated and done in private, I would never have even posted this comment if I had used my real name for my handle because that's how private I think they should be. It's like saying "embrace taking a shit" but everybody poos because their body needs to remove waste. I felt more magical when I was pregnant because that truly is a miraculous thing for the body to do but I see how they couldn't have someone's super powers flinging babies everywhere but the period thing just really grossed me out 🤢🤮
@@mizzourita3896 1. That’s not her power 2. The message of that scene has absolutely nothing to do with embracing it, in fact it basically portrays the opposite
Regardless of whatever political messages are within modern entertainment, I am just tired of movies and shows feeling like they are made out of spite rather than out of love.
@@benjamim8046 Yes it’s blood but period blood is different. Period blood is a mixture of blood and tissues that lines the uterus and he keeps mentioning just blood from her period and not just blood in general

@@benjamim8046 I’m a female I know exactly how the female body works he keeps saying “controlling period blood” like that’s only way she can control blood which is not true, she can control all forms of blood.
The Boys first series was actually quite good, a nice refreshing take on the superheor genre. Then later series sank into identity politics and racism, because of course it did. And this show looked exactly like more of it.
lol 'Ravishing take' really? Are you smoking crack? It's the same "What is super heroes were actually cunts?" but we've seen over and over again. It's just slightly noteable in how disgusting and degenerate it is that's not refreshing
I screamed and was even in shock when they showed the underage girl taking her underwear off and finding blood on her no- no parts. WHAT!?!?!!?!? Bruh, it took me a minute to rewrite that in my head to have her cut produce in the kitchen and then she gets distracted and cuts herself, only for her to run to the bathroom.
I believe the point was to create a fearful and stressful event that would justify her shockingly killing her parents. I agree there were other ways it could have been done, but I don’t believe getting a scene with blood was the issue. It was creating a situation with the blood, stress, and a context where she could feel responsibility for it. Again, I think it could have been done better. But a little cut wouldn’t have sufficed to set up her conflict.
This show has a 8.0/10 rating on imdb, by 26 000 people. And 76% on rotten tomates. The people who keep saying that people are "waking up" are not paying attention.
The show is well reviewed because the show is actually GOOD. This entire video was such a bad take from reaper. A lot of the stuff reaper claims is woke in the show,is actually mocking woke culture
@@connernickerson5509 But he's bitter, sadistic and hateful. Also he straight up lied at some parts of the video. The last part specially, lying and criticism on the same place? I think it's great that person isn't like this youtuber, lmao.
I described this show to my wife, and her immediate reaction to the menstrual 'superpower' was "EW, WHY? Not ALL women want to talk about this stuff." I think I'll write about a male hero called 'PreJac': He derives his power from throwing seminal fluid around in a rapid fashion. Maybe he could join The Marvels. Edit: I don't care if this woman is a "bloodbender." That isn't the point. The inclusion of menstruation in this way is pushing the envelope. Normal women have no interest in bringing attention to their menstruation, it's a private, intimate process. She could have found out through an everyday cut, for example, and NOTHING would have been lost in the story. Having her period on screen whilst sitting on the toilet isn't artful or tasteful. It's just gross.
I regret watching this video... Well, I've only watched the first 3 minutes and i couldn't go on any longer, but yall get it. Maybe like... enjoy things and live in reality...?
You do realize that people aren't LEGALLY REQUIRED to like something just because YOU like it, right? You're the one living in a stupid fantasy world that sees criticism as 'fascistic'
You guys are morons, these writers are the ones behind every piece of media consumed by you buffoons. You literally do not deserve anything you're getting
Why does Hollywood or whoever even care about writers strike anyway? The community can write a script far more superior for free. Literally. Even AI could do that. Why even bother to put up with trashy writers on the strike? Plus it costs money to hire them.
Actually the fingerprint thing may be (accidentally) the only good thing in this show. Biometric passwords use approximation, meaning, if you have a biometric similar enough you'll be able to access the laptop and it's really common for that to happen. That's why biometrics passwords are regarded as not secure and shouldn't be trusted.
Well, sure. But then you'd have to say that all white/asian/black/indian people look the same if you think all fingerprints look the same. You really have to make the show give that information ahead of time ... ie. that the technology is broken, or it's a trivial thing that he can open locked doors and has experience breaking in to places. Which would make sense, the black bisexual is a career criminal who erases the footage and gets away with things. Magnetism moves big things. Not inside computers which are insulated, microscopic connections, microns in size. That scale is important. computer manipulation is a vastly different skillset, and requires magic/bullshit like "internet gas" to work. It works if you have a ridiculous skillset like time-manipulation or psychic magic, or internet gas, but not magnetism. It's not as simple as flipping a micro-switch on the external device... somewhere inside a very, very tiny chipset. You'd also have to 'see' inside the chip to make that one bridging connection within the memory chip of the fingerprint reader. It's a bit of a stretch to make magnetic manipulation ... work on computers. It can work on small electronics, but chips are Extremely small and delicate to current/signals. It's a bit like pointing to a library and finding the word 'fish' without opening the books on the shelves. Manipulating a IC chip is like reading a book from outside of the library, without opening the book,. and the library is miles away. The scale of doing this is hilariously difficult. It requires some level of abstraction to explain how 'good' he is, or how he's done this before. Especially if he doesn't use this to his own greed or advantage given that most security or banking would be vulnerable. The device has to be fooled into sending a valid key back ... which involves modifying micro-code running on a small CPU. It's not sending back "Yes", it's sending back the encrypted confirmation. Spoofing a valid fingerprint or sending the proper confirmation is ... incredibly stupid. It's not like you can pick the lock, you would also need a 'live finger' as they check for capacitance, blood flow and other things now to stop 'clingwrap' and 'gummi bear' hacks, where the sensor uses the former fingerprint residue stored on the lens to fool the sensor. Generally, anything made in the last 10 years is going to be quite sophisticated. Anything older, might be stored locally, but those also tend to be built into the computer. This is a separate box. It can be excused as alternative world ... but they have youtube comments. You really have to checkov this ability i.e. introduce it earlier than what was convenient. Because it looks like bullshit as to how contrived this scene is, i.e. they stripped the room clean... and left the dead man's possessions, including security credentials intact. Why ? mourning ? They would be processing the scene, cleaning up the residue, etc. Suffice to say, If you have 'magneto' power, you'd be far more useful depositing and withdrawing cash at ATMs and then deleting the footage, because those would be far, far simpler than trying to watch the electrical signals of a biometric scanner. It requires a significant abstraction of 'controlling the computer' rather than 'push/pulling' magnetic fields. It would require practise to manipulate fields inside chipsets, because given that level of sophistication, he could also just blow up batteries inside phones, just as easily. he could also type on a screen without fingers, or manipulate door locks, et al. It's not how most biometric locks work, because they look for hashing of the texture/pattern. It's not matching a photograph of your finger, it's matching the spacing and geometry, sending a hashed value and getting a key back, usually within the memory of the device so it's matching a local pattern and a remote pattern to generate the proper passphrase/key. Generally, you'd have to be identical twins to have a similar fingerprint, and even then, there would be at least one finger that didn't match. It would be more common to share the same Face for face-scans. It is also similar to the technology used in an optical mouse to track position data. It takes a few dozen samples and tracks unique points, hashes the values out and that 'guess' is what gets compared. FaceID also works in a similar way, it's not looking at your face as a photo, it's using the 3D shape of the side/middle/top/bottom to look for the shape/size of bone structure and eye/chin/nose textures to determine the curve of your face, as a hashed value.
What do you mean by approximation? Technology advanced over decade it no longer optically scan ridges and valleys on your finger but use array of tiny capacitors to create "image" (is not real image and image cant be used to unlock) this equation of electrical charge and conductivity is encoded so no there is no need for approximation it will create perfect electrical map of your fingerprint. So theoretically he can manipulate those sensors with magnetic field but it needs to be extremely precise and tiny like trying neurosurgery on mosquito and also know exactly how fingerprint looks to even begin so no that scene is complete nonsense even for superpowers.
@@Pedgo1986 Biometrics need and use approximation so you can actually use your device. There are many variations that may occur with your fingerprint or the indirectly affect it. Shadow can make it look different, oil between the ridges, etc. Yes, your fingerprints are definetely more secure than using your face and are technically unique, but saying that they are completely unique and can't look the same visually as another person's fingerprint is as saying a picture of your house can't represent your house because it isn't a perfect recreation, or that signatures shouldn't exist because your signature will look 0.03% different each time you sign something. There's a reason why people of interest with at least the minimal tech literacy, or anyone tech literate for that matter, don't use biometrics. It isn't because they're boomers.
I think im blessed for not kwnowing this show existed, but now im just waiting for the next review, and the line drawn on the guy's head was hilarious 😂
@@official_ny_kings7674 he's complaining that someone whose power is seemingly controlling their own blood when out it in open controlled their own blood when it was out in the open for the first time... He's mad that a character can change sexes, even though it's used to discuss a very real issue in the Asian community regarding the want for sons and disregard for daughters and the need to accept either as just as important. He's unable to acknowledge the worth of these topics because he's too busy critiquing them for resembling progressive ideas to appreciate their importance to the development of the characters.
@@keke835 but the thing is the Asians didn't need a TV show to insight cultural change bro I live in New York I know all these communities this drives people away from their shows. These things help nobody
@official_ny_kings7674 who are you to say that for every Asian? If your standard for why something should be made is "everyone must like it" then NOTHING would exist. It helps SOME Asian people. Some Asians don't care and that's fine. But their lack of care or appreciation doesn't mean other Asians don't deserve to have the representation they want.
Seriously... I don't get why that's a bad thing. He made it sound racist and selfish. Not to mention, he made characters seem worse than they actually are.
Alright, questions: 1. Superpowers are so common that they have universities for people with powers? Not just one, as the fact that it's prestigious implies there are others. I don't watch The Boys, so I don't know everything about their universe. 2. Many of their powers are exceptionally dangerous, yet the school has no way to neutralize these people? We've already seen how dangerous Blackneto and Menstruatia can be. Golden Boy just walks into the professor's office like it's nothing and kills the man. 3. Why is Kate not under surveillance to make sure she doesn't use her powers? Kate seems to be wearing gloves most of the time, but the fact that she can take them off at will without punishment is a massive red flag. The whole school is probably under her control without anyone else knowing it. 4. Why are these people allowed off campus without chaperones and heavy restrictions on power usage? Expulsion and criminal charges for unauthorized use of power, at least for some people (I doubt anyone cares if The Amazing Shrinking Whore plays fast and loose with her ability). 5. Is there a reason Menstruatia couldn't stop Golden Boy? She accidently killed her parents with her powers, but now that she's older and ostensibly in greater control of them, she couldn't incapacitate him? Look at Avatar: The Last Airbender; why couldn't she blood bend like Katara, or at least wound his legs so he couldn't chase her. 6. If they're going to have a secret location to keep some of the students, why would they put it underneath the school? Most of the time, you want those to be outside the city, away from prying eyes. Or maybe not, I'm not an espionage master. Honestly, this is just a shittier Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. The kids in that school acted like teenagers, as expected, but they were at least decent and didn't abuse their power because they knew it could lead to someone getting hurt. If someone took things too far, Charles could quite literally stop them in their tracks, making him the de facto method of neutralizing powers.
You're thinking logically. Never try to apply logic and reasoning to these kinds of shows. Just shut up and watch the super cool and awesome cast of diverse characters act awesome and cool
A good amount of these are addressed by the show. I can’t answer them all, but a few. 2. Golden Boy was friends with the professor. Him strutting into the office was likely acceptable because he’s friend with Li, who tends the desk, and probably goes in all the time. He’s the star of the school. They are shown to have security, and the security for the lab beneath the school shows they have effective tools. 3. Her powers have limits. Pressing things too far will harm her. This is shown later in the series. Attempting to do anything like taking over the school isn’t possible for her. 4. I believe powers are far more common than in a lot of other superhero universes. There are tons of heroes, and if any pose a massive threat, they believe they have Homelander and the Seven to put it down. So while they can cause a bit of trouble, I doubt any destructive threat would last long, or at least that’s what they believe in the show. 5. I don’t believe she’s been using her powers much since the incident. Likely due to how traumatic it was. She has little control of them, and has been gaining more power as the episodes go on.
I watched up until episode 4 and decided the rest wasn't worth watching. As you've already stated, the show is written poorly, the characters constantly make dumb decisions to move the plot forward, the characters are mostly one dimensional, constantly talking about race, gender etc in practically every conversation they have. The lack of preventable measures for the students is also head scratching like you mentioned as well. The main character, Marie is a total hypocrite to the point where she just comes off as a bad person. She claims to have dedicated everything to wanting to help people, to be a hero and prove to her estranged sister she's not a monster but when she's asked to help find out why Luke killed brinkman and then himself, she declines immediately and says she doesn't know him or luke well enough to help... She's literally at a college for stopping crimes and ( according to her ) desperately wants to help and saves people but just says no when the chance to do so happens? So I agree with you, this show is just too badly written to be enjoyed
IKR, even hearing someone mentioning it makes me sick to my stomach. When I saw that scene, that was when I quit and turned it right off. Shock value is all this show has. It is pathetic writing.
Bloody thing? It's a period, it happens to you, happens to my mum, happens to my friends, it isn't a taboo thing no one should talk about, it's fucking nature. Have some self respect.
You’re exaggerating. I get it’s a more sensitive topic for many, but there’s nothing foul about feeling more comfortable discussing and showing it. Her power also has nothing to do with it, she just has blood powers, and so she discovered it though her period.
The franchise fell off after season 1 like season 3 was one of the most frustrating things i sat through especially that shit ending when butcher and boys went retarded and decided to go up against soilder boy in one of the worst fight scenes I've seen on tv. Thus at the end the boys are at square one ALL OVER AGAIN what a fookin' waste of my time.
@shawklan27 it's been such a polarized show, the good bits are fantastic but the bad is absolutely insufferable garbage. The showrunners clearly have their ideas of which characters audiences like upside down, they want us to despise homelander and soldier boy despite being the best characters on the show. The ending to the most recent season made me audibly groan, was a pretty good season right up until that point and it was enough to make me not want to rewatch. Can only imagine what genius storytelling we'll get in the next season
She controls blood of anyone including herself and can sense things in people's blood, they just tastelessly opted to make that the first time she used her powers which is extra gross. The concept not any weirder otherwise than actual stuff that has been in comics already, just they showrunners decided to be as gross as possible with it in execution. (Adam X , a marvel character could explode people's blood once he cut them if i recall because the 90s is XTREME!!) They show another character has the same power as her later from the boys, just they applied their powers in a massively different manner to create far more destructive effects on their targets. Marie probably could help a ton of people in the medical field with such a power(clear blockages to prevent strokes in people would be an easy way to make major money as a specialist doctor), but the show isn't going have her do that. She is not someone you'd want fighting criminals in your neighborhood.
the girl using her bodily fluid as a wepon reminds me of the distrurbing trend feminists do, which is paint pictures with their period blood, use their period blood as make-up and even mix their period blood in with bread dough
Disgusting. It makes you wonder what went wrong in their life to make them think putting period blood on their face and eating it with bread is a good idea.
@@iiiiii7739 She has the power to control blood, I don't need to watch this woke trash to figure that out lol. I don't really care if painting with period blood is a feminist trend, it's still disgusting. Consequently, so are most feminists.
This whole show only has profanity, super powers and controversial sexual content to catch attention. Put this things away then there is nothing remarkable
As a Floridian Republican I'm proud of my home state and the laws we've passed. And the huge numbers of Alphabet Soup People this pisses off is an added bonus. Seriously I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.
Yeah, it's hilarious they call US the fascists when THEY are the ones who subscribe to the mindset that anyone who speaks out against their lunacy is the enemy Kinda sounds like what the Mean Mustache Man of Russia did, to be honest
the creators probably watch A certain scientific railgun where the protagonist, Misaka Mikoto has the ability to control electricity. She is so good at it, she can hack her way into computer system just by manipulating electricity.
@D18Rodrigues_7 No, I don't think I will. Gen V would have needed to be something truly great to overcome season 3 of the boys for me. I only listen to others when I have lost faith in a franchise.
@coal4208 I glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed this video as a bit of catharsis. I lost nearly all hope in the franchise after seasons 2 and 3 of the boys, but I like the capes asthetic enough to check out a couple of reviews. Even if he's being hyperbolic for effect, he still confirmed my expectations for the show
Most superhero content has a "political" message, if you could even call it that. It's just that the political messages of shows and films like this are so hateful and explicit.
"REEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! Are you a white Nazi supremacist??? Do you worship capitalism?!!!? Do you have brown people?!?!? REEEEEEEEE!!!!!" So the simple answer is no. No, we cannot have entertainment anymore.
It took me 3 episodes to realise that it wasn’t the biggest parody of current gen… Then it clicked… I won’t be finishing the season and I hate not finishing something! I even finished Rings of Power…
I only saw the first episode and I did really believe that this was supposed to be a parody of modern day writing but nope I realize this now this is not a parody this is just another bad show. Lol
"She can use her own period blood as a weapon" Writers wrote this, the actress played the scene, the director allowed it, the camera crew filmed it, the editors improved it and not a single person in this whole process thought that this was dumb.
I still liked it better than the Boys se04 in general. Political messaging is annoying at the times (as you said only motivation to be a black woman in the seven), but one thing that I liked about it was showing other side of supes, those with motivation to turn things around, stand up for what is right, not for supes or humans, and showing how hate makes both supes and humans fall into vicious cycle that just ends up creating more of the things that they wanted to avoid. Prime example here: Cate, Sam and Indira Shetty. Homelanders line at the end hit hard because those like Marie and the gang chose to stand up what should be morally right, even if it is againest their "kind". So yeah, that was the thing I liked about the show.
the main character uses period as a weapon (Period Fetish) the secondary character need to puke in order to uses power (Puke Fetish) Just another show involving Writer's fetishes disguised as a show.
I made it halfway through the first episode and decided to bail out. Then I read the Wikipedia summary and found out that the two principal White male characters get killed off at the end of the first episode (as required by the show's politics). That convinced me to give this show a miss, and after watching Reaper's review of the first two episodes, I'm so glad I did.
This show's biggest sin is hiring Clancy Brown and killing him off after 1 episode....
He continuously appears on the rest of the show via flashbacks and memory alucinations
@@ultimateme3049well that’s lame

@@RecluseBootsy Acting like Clancy (a big-time actor) isn't the one accepting the roles after reading the script or having a basic run down given to him...

Period blood as a weapon? Now I've seen everything.
The review is actually being very misleading and offering zero context. She doesn't use "period blood" as a weapon. Her power is being able to manipulate and control blood and she didn't learn about the power until her first period. Also the pronoun thing, the character is two people both female and Male (they switch depending on what power set they need) but the dad wants a son so he still uses he/him pronouns even when they're currently female.
While he is right about the rest of the review it isn't anywhere near as good as the boys.
I'm sorry, but no matter how you try to twist it around to make it sound lame... bloodbending is undeniably badass.

A decade later they're still defaming the guy when he just wants to be a dad and make art videos.
I would whether watch a spin-off show about Soldier Boy before the Russians kidnapped him.
I would rather watch a Frederick Vought origin story
Too boring. His main story was already laid out in the main series. The cant touch or do anything in the main series because the plans arent 100% clear yet since they steered away from the comics. That's why Gen V happened. Original characters far removed from the main storyline (except for neuman and vought) but adds worldbuilding.
I wanna watch black noir, where we can hear his dialogues in his brain, like we see more of the cartoons that Black Noir has, and more of his backstory, family, and how he gets into the seven, then we have Soldier Boy in the series too, because it's gonna start in that timeline.

@@josesosa3337 Good point. Both of those references are really dated.
Tell me; what is Covington catholic?
@@ocboy5163 It's kind of a long story, but I'll try to give you a shorter version:
In 2019, a group of students from Covington Catholic high school in Kentucky went on a school trip to the annual March For Life in DC. There were a bunch of other protests going on in the area.
A video emerged showing one of the students, wearing a red "MAGA" hat and with a thin smile that many described as a "smirk", standing face to face with an elderly Native American protestor who was beating a drum and chanting.
The video went viral, and a ton of people, including many journalists and celebrities, had a meltdown. The video was described as an act of ethnic intimidation, and the kid (Nick Sandmann) was made into a symbol of everything wrong with the world - the ultimate in arrogant Trump racist white male privilege, etc. Death threats poured in, the school had to temporarily shut down out of concern for student safety, and hysterics on social media screamed for the kid to be arrested, expelled, and even physically attacked.
Then, slowly, the real story crept out: the kids had been gathered waiting for their buses to arrive, and the other protestors had accosted THEM. Including a group from the "Black Hebrew Israelites" (you can look them up; they're not nice people) who were shouting insults and threats at the students. What people saw as an arrogant racist was really just a kid staying quiet and offering a nervous smile in hopes of de-escalating the situation. The media buried the story as quickly as they could.
Sandmann ended up filing lawsuits against multiple media outlets for defamation. Most were dismissed, but he got paid undisclosed settlements by CNN, The Washington Post, and NBC.
@@ocboy5163A Catholic school

Well homelander is a murderer , narcissist, rapist, egomaniac amongst other things. Doesn’t take much to see why fans of trump would also like homelander.
@@madsisveryreal I find Trump be a flawed individual, but I don't see Homelander particularly anything like Trump to where oh he's such a great commentary on Trump. Homelander is too much of his own thing at this point to make that metaphor land. The hair color and loving America more than anywhere else is basically where the common factors end. May be the version of him the media thinks he is(and you likely buy into), but anyone who actually supports Trump and knows who he is doesn't see Homelander remotely like Trump. Trump might have a huge ego, but he actually does want to help this country even if he will totally be a glory hog about it.(Why else would a guy who could basically retire and never be bothered again allow himself to be attacked over and over if he didn't truly believe in his cause?)
Homelander is just facade doesn't care about anyone besides himself. The media actually protects Homelander, while it does nothing but put Trump on blast(and frames everything he does as bad regardless of what it truly is). If the media did that to Homelander he'd gone nuts already. He's way too fragile to handle the media onslaught that Trump regularly endures.(Biden is guilty of everything they accuse trump of is the sad irony.) If Trump was as fragile Homelander he'd killed himself by now, much less want to run for President again. So this idea Homelander lampoons in any meaning way is laughable.

Gen V was unnecessary. If they wanted to give us something until The Boys came back, they could have done prequels or episodes further explaining the world of The Boys using characters we already know until they can write more material to continue the story. The Boys was pretty progressive already as well. In The Boys, the heroes were a group of diverse individuals of various skin colors and nationalities with the main villains in the show being a corrupt corporation, a blonde, blue-eyed patriot, and a literal Nazi. The Nazi was beaten up in a full-on girl power moment where the main female characters banded together. It's like someone working on Gen V asked "How do we make this even more obvious we lean one way politically?" And then, the producers said "Yes."

Gen V I dropped after 2 episodes as well, unironically. It doesn't take much to realize it's a badly written highschool drama show that tries to use sex and gore to cover up its bad writing. Once you strip away the "shock value" of the meaningless explicit content, you find a series about a bunch of shallow characters (who the writers think are interesting) trying to overcome the everyday drama you see zoomers express on Tik Tok. Everybody is an unlikeable asshole for the most part with mental issues. They try to keep it interesting with the "hidden laboratory" subplot, but when the supposed "geniuses" who came up with such a facility are so stupid in terms of security and logistics, you can't help but lose your immersion.
the characters are so so boring it's incredible.The blood girl is the only one with even a hint of personality and in a regular show she'd be the bland lead flanked by better/funnier/more memorable side characters, but in this snoozefest she's surrounded by characters who are somehow even more bland. And the college setting doesn't make any sense... I prefer not to think of this show as happening in the same universe as The Boys because it creates so many weird questions that you just know will be left unanswered.

The Boys first series was actually quite good, a nice refreshing take on the superheor genre.
Then later series sank into identity politics and racism, because of course it did. And this show looked exactly like more of it.
Like Witcher?@makutas-v261

@@GomankPretending to be retarded is still retarded.
I screamed and was even in shock when they showed the underage girl taking her underwear off and finding blood on her no- no parts. WHAT!?!?!!?!?
Bruh, it took me a minute to rewrite that in my head to have her cut produce in the kitchen and then she gets distracted and cuts herself, only for her to run to the bathroom.
That's a period, something all women have, are you a kid?
I believe the point was to create a fearful and stressful event that would justify her shockingly killing her parents. I agree there were other ways it could have been done, but I don’t believe getting a scene with blood was the issue. It was creating a situation with the blood, stress, and a context where she could feel responsibility for it.
Again, I think it could have been done better. But a little cut wouldn’t have sufficed to set up her conflict.

I think it's great that person isn't like this youtuber, lmao.
I described this show to my wife, and her immediate reaction to the menstrual 'superpower' was "EW, WHY? Not ALL women want to talk about this stuff." I think I'll write about a male hero called 'PreJac': He derives his power from throwing seminal fluid around in a rapid fashion. Maybe he could join The Marvels.
Edit: I don't care if this woman is a "bloodbender." That isn't the point. The inclusion of menstruation in this way is pushing the envelope. Normal women have no interest in bringing attention to their menstruation, it's a private, intimate process. She could have found out through an everyday cut, for example, and NOTHING would have been lost in the story. Having her period on screen whilst sitting on the toilet isn't artful or tasteful. It's just gross.
She's a blood bender. Her period blood was just how she awakened her powers.
@@Turtledirathis makes it acceptable somehow.
That, and PreJac coming in as a villain in season 2. That's all that's stopping me throwing up rn.

This guy twisted everything in the show for engagement
@@minotaur3092 true. i finally watched this show before boys s4. was really not what this guy was describing.
@@muhyuhnk yeah he twisted a lot of it to suit his own narrative
Actually the fingerprint thing may be (accidentally) the only good thing in this show. Biometric passwords use approximation, meaning, if you have a biometric similar enough you'll be able to access the laptop and it's really common for that to happen. That's why biometrics passwords are regarded as not secure and shouldn't be trusted.
Well, sure. But then you'd have to say that all white/asian/black/indian people look the same if you think all fingerprints look the same. You really have to make the show give that information ahead of time ... ie. that the technology is broken, or it's a trivial thing that he can open locked doors and has experience breaking in to places. Which would make sense, the black bisexual is a career criminal who erases the footage and gets away with things.
Magnetism moves big things. Not inside computers which are insulated, microscopic connections, microns in size.
That scale is important. computer manipulation is a vastly different skillset, and requires magic/bullshit like "internet gas" to work. It works if you have a ridiculous skillset like time-manipulation or psychic magic, or internet gas, but not magnetism.
It's not as simple as flipping a micro-switch on the external device... somewhere inside a very, very tiny chipset. You'd also have to 'see' inside the chip to make that one bridging connection within the memory chip of the fingerprint reader. It's a bit of a stretch to make magnetic manipulation ... work on computers. It can work on small electronics, but chips are Extremely small and delicate to current/signals. It's a bit like pointing to a library and finding the word 'fish' without opening the books on the shelves. Manipulating a IC chip is like reading a book from outside of the library, without opening the book,. and the library is miles away.
The scale of doing this is hilariously difficult. It requires some level of abstraction to explain how 'good' he is, or how he's done this before. Especially if he doesn't use this to his own greed or advantage given that most security or banking would be vulnerable.
The device has to be fooled into sending a valid key back ... which involves modifying micro-code running on a small CPU. It's not sending back "Yes", it's sending back the encrypted confirmation. Spoofing a valid fingerprint or sending the proper confirmation is ... incredibly stupid.
It's not like you can pick the lock, you would also need a 'live finger' as they check for capacitance, blood flow and other things now to stop 'clingwrap' and 'gummi bear' hacks, where the sensor uses the former fingerprint residue stored on the lens to fool the sensor. Generally, anything made in the last 10 years is going to be quite sophisticated. Anything older, might be stored locally, but those also tend to be built into the computer. This is a separate box.
It can be excused as alternative world ... but they have youtube comments. You really have to checkov this ability i.e. introduce it earlier than what was convenient. Because it looks like bullshit as to how contrived this scene is, i.e. they stripped the room clean... and left the dead man's possessions, including security credentials intact. Why ? mourning ? They would be processing the scene, cleaning up the residue, etc.
Suffice to say, If you have 'magneto' power, you'd be far more useful depositing and withdrawing cash at ATMs and then deleting the footage, because those would be far, far simpler than trying to watch the electrical signals of a biometric scanner.
It requires a significant abstraction of 'controlling the computer' rather than 'push/pulling' magnetic fields. It would require practise to manipulate fields inside chipsets, because given that level of sophistication, he could also just blow up batteries inside phones, just as easily. he could also type on a screen without fingers, or manipulate door locks, et al.
It's not how most biometric locks work, because they look for hashing of the texture/pattern. It's not matching a photograph of your finger, it's matching the spacing and geometry, sending a hashed value and getting a key back, usually within the memory of the device so it's matching a local pattern and a remote pattern to generate the proper passphrase/key. Generally, you'd have to be identical twins to have a similar fingerprint, and even then, there would be at least one finger that didn't match. It would be more common to share the same Face for face-scans.
It is also similar to the technology used in an optical mouse to track position data. It takes a few dozen samples and tracks unique points, hashes the values out and that 'guess' is what gets compared. FaceID also works in a similar way, it's not looking at your face as a photo, it's using the 3D shape of the side/middle/top/bottom to look for the shape/size of bone structure and eye/chin/nose textures to determine the curve of your face, as a hashed value.
@@Toliman. I'm not reading all of that because I wasn't even talking about magnetism. Also, why would everyone look the same? That makes no sense
What do you mean by approximation? Technology advanced over decade it no longer optically scan ridges and valleys on your finger but use array of tiny capacitors to create "image" (is not real image and image cant be used to unlock) this equation of electrical charge and conductivity is encoded so no there is no need for approximation it will create perfect electrical map of your fingerprint. So theoretically he can manipulate those sensors with magnetic field but it needs to be extremely precise and tiny like trying neurosurgery on mosquito and also know exactly how fingerprint looks to even begin so no that scene is complete nonsense even for superpowers.
@@Pedgo1986 Biometrics need and use approximation so you can actually use your device. There are many variations that may occur with your fingerprint or the indirectly affect it. Shadow can make it look different, oil between the ridges, etc.
Yes, your fingerprints are definetely more secure than using your face and are technically unique, but saying that they are completely unique and can't look the same visually as another person's fingerprint is as saying a picture of your house can't represent your house because it isn't a perfect recreation, or that signatures shouldn't exist because your signature will look 0.03% different each time you sign something.
There's a reason why people of interest with at least the minimal tech literacy, or anyone tech literate for that matter, don't use biometrics. It isn't because they're boomers.

He's unable to acknowledge the worth of these topics because he's too busy critiquing them for resembling progressive ideas to appreciate their importance to the development of the characters.

Seriously... I don't get why that's a bad thing.
He made it sound racist and selfish.

Alright, questions:
1. Superpowers are so common that they have universities for people with powers? Not just one, as the fact that it's prestigious implies there are others. I don't watch The Boys, so I don't know everything about their universe.
2. Many of their powers are exceptionally dangerous, yet the school has no way to neutralize these people? We've already seen how dangerous Blackneto and Menstruatia can be. Golden Boy just walks into the professor's office like it's nothing and kills the man.
3. Why is Kate not under surveillance to make sure she doesn't use her powers? Kate seems to be wearing gloves most of the time, but the fact that she can take them off at will without punishment is a massive red flag. The whole school is probably under her control without anyone else knowing it.
4. Why are these people allowed off campus without chaperones and heavy restrictions on power usage? Expulsion and criminal charges for unauthorized use of power, at least for some people (I doubt anyone cares if The Amazing Shrinking Whore plays fast and loose with her ability).
5. Is there a reason Menstruatia couldn't stop Golden Boy? She accidently killed her parents with her powers, but now that she's older and ostensibly in greater control of them, she couldn't incapacitate him? Look at Avatar: The Last Airbender; why couldn't she blood bend like Katara, or at least wound his legs so he couldn't chase her.
6. If they're going to have a secret location to keep some of the students, why would they put it underneath the school? Most of the time, you want those to be outside the city, away from prying eyes. Or maybe not, I'm not an espionage master.
Honestly, this is just a shittier Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. The kids in that school acted like teenagers, as expected, but they were at least decent and didn't abuse their power because they knew it could lead to someone getting hurt. If someone took things too far, Charles could quite literally stop them in their tracks, making him the de facto method of neutralizing powers.
You're thinking logically.
Never try to apply logic and reasoning to these kinds of shows.
Just shut up and watch the super cool and awesome cast of diverse characters act awesome and cool
for 1 there are few natural supes almost every supe was given a experimental drug
A good amount of these are addressed by the show. I can’t answer them all, but a few.
2. Golden Boy was friends with the professor. Him strutting into the office was likely acceptable because he’s friend with Li, who tends the desk, and probably goes in all the time. He’s the star of the school.
They are shown to have security, and the security for the lab beneath the school shows they have effective tools.
3. Her powers have limits. Pressing things too far will harm her. This is shown later in the series. Attempting to do anything like taking over the school isn’t possible for her.
4. I believe powers are far more common than in a lot of other superhero universes. There are tons of heroes, and if any pose a massive threat, they believe they have Homelander and the Seven to put it down. So while they can cause a bit of trouble, I doubt any destructive threat would last long, or at least that’s what they believe in the show.
5. I don’t believe she’s been using her powers much since the incident. Likely due to how traumatic it was. She has little control of them, and has been gaining more power as the episodes go on.
I watched up until episode 4 and decided the rest wasn't worth watching. As you've already stated, the show is written poorly, the characters constantly make dumb decisions to move the plot forward, the characters are mostly one dimensional, constantly talking about race, gender etc in practically every conversation they have.
The lack of preventable measures for the students is also head scratching like you mentioned as well. The main character, Marie is a total hypocrite to the point where she just comes off as a bad person. She claims to have dedicated everything to wanting to help people, to be a hero and prove to her estranged sister she's not a monster but when she's asked to help find out why Luke killed brinkman and then himself, she declines immediately and says she doesn't know him or luke well enough to help...
She's literally at a college for stopping crimes and ( according to her ) desperately wants to help and saves people but just says no when the chance to do so happens? So I agree with you, this show is just too badly written to be enjoyed
@@CortesevasiveIt isn't click bait, it is a bad show.

You’re exaggerating. I get it’s a more sensitive topic for many, but there’s nothing foul about feeling more comfortable discussing and showing it.
Her power also has nothing to do with it, she just has blood powers, and so she discovered it though her period.
She’s not wrong. I’m in Jacksonville. We mock that shit nonstop here😂
The Boys isn't that good either, so I expected much worse with that spin off and it looks like I'm correct.
The franchise fell off after season 1 like season 3 was one of the most frustrating things i sat through especially that shit ending when butcher and boys went retarded and decided to go up against soilder boy in one of the worst fight scenes I've seen on tv. Thus at the end the boys are at square one ALL OVER AGAIN what a fookin' waste of my time.
@shawklan27 it's been such a polarized show, the good bits are fantastic but the bad is absolutely insufferable garbage. The showrunners clearly have their ideas of which characters audiences like upside down, they want us to despise homelander and soldier boy despite being the best characters on the show. The ending to the most recent season made me audibly groan, was a pretty good season right up until that point and it was enough to make me not want to rewatch. Can only imagine what genius storytelling we'll get in the next season

@@liamphibia Thought so. I loved the show

So, Marie's superhero name is Sickle Cell...
Menstrual blood as a weapon? Now this is a new level of disgust
She controls blood of anyone including herself and can sense things in people's blood, they just tastelessly opted to make that the first time she used her powers which is extra gross. The concept not any weirder otherwise than actual stuff that has been in comics already, just they showrunners decided to be as gross as possible with it in execution. (Adam X , a marvel character could explode people's blood once he cut them if i recall because the 90s is XTREME!!) They show another character has the same power as her later from the boys, just they applied their powers in a massively different manner to create far more destructive effects on their targets. Marie probably could help a ton of people in the medical field with such a power(clear blockages to prevent strokes in people would be an easy way to make major money as a specialist doctor), but the show isn't going have her do that. She is not someone you'd want fighting criminals in your neighborhood.
Her blood awakened when she hit puberty.
the girl using her bodily fluid as a wepon reminds me of the distrurbing trend feminists do, which is paint pictures with their period blood, use their period blood as make-up and even mix their period blood in with bread dough
Disgusting. It makes you wonder what went wrong in their life to make them think putting period blood on their face and eating it with bread is a good idea.
It probably smells like Cabbage, Dead Fish and Spoiled uncooked Steak.

I still liked it better than the Boys se04 in general. Political messaging is annoying at the times (as you said only motivation to be a black woman in the seven), but one thing that I liked about it was showing other side of supes, those with motivation to turn things around, stand up for what is right, not for supes or humans, and showing how hate makes both supes and humans fall into vicious cycle that just ends up creating more of the things that they wanted to avoid. Prime example here: Cate, Sam and Indira Shetty. Homelanders line at the end hit hard because those like Marie and the gang chose to stand up what should be morally right, even if it is againest their "kind". So yeah, that was the thing I liked about the show.
the main character uses period as a weapon (Period Fetish) the secondary character need to puke in order to uses power (Puke Fetish)
