I do like how they go into parents giving their kids life-altering drugs without consent and they're expected to shrug it off.

I like how the powers are rooted in problems teenagers go through. Plus the humor is still insane

I dont think she kept with the script because she likes the fame but because she would look like a hero to her sister due to the fact that the host just told her she (the sister) wanted nothing to do with her maybe it was even a way to force her to stay on script idk 🤷🏾‍♂️

That invisible R.A. is Maverick. The son of translucent. They showed him at the funeral in season 1 of the boys

Am I the only one thinking that she can only use her powers maybe like 10 times max before she passes out due to blood loss

Andre is also bisexual, open to his close circle, and not to his dad or the Vaught system. At the club he clearly mentioned how he was very attracted to A-Train and he reacted positively to a guy checking him out at the club. I think he had a crush on Luke and he had sex with Cate out of grief.

I am very surprised that I actually like all the main characters. In The Boys, a lot of them are flawed to the point of no forgiveness which makes sense cause they're adults in superhero jobs. But with these young adults, I feel bad for all of them and I am genuinely terrified for someone to die next.

I thought The Boys was a satire about corporate exploitation but Gen V also shows the grim reality of parental exploitation as well

The clone idea not only could be related to past experiments, but also the clean up crew making sure to gather as much of his ‘remains’ as they could. That’s a lot of genetic material to work with.

So far this show is really entertaining. The mix of mystery box and good old fashion The Boyz irreverence makes for a very entertaining production. The high school/college high jinx also adds another fun layer. It’s highly relatable.

I loved how she learned to heal people while on molly she probably got a deeper sense of what her power could do she was so happy after she saved that woman at the bar.

"Unless the guard is wearing some sort of anti-electrical boots" Yeah, we have that technology, they're called rubber boots lol

This show is turning out to be fantastic!

Pretty sure Chance isn’t telekinetic, but can manipulate magnetic fields, like Magneto in X-men, that’s why his father is called “Polarity” and says chance will be the next “Polarity”. He only moves and manipulated metal objects in the show.

Around 20:14 we see golden boy and his girlfriend going down to the woods… but what caught my eye is that, golden boy forgot that he was alive. So maybe his girlfriend made him forget and she’s part of a bigger conspiracy with Vought. Because she’s very shady, and she knew were Andre was moments before he was captured around the stairs. I know I couldn’t be the only one that saw this.

Yesss Think story!!!!! Tha k you for this! Can't wait to what else is in store for this season and what rolls over to season 4 of the boys!

I bet Vought wanted to use Golden Boy as a replacement for Homelander.

If any of u guys watched the show Legacies (spinoff from The Originals/Vampire Diaries), some of those locations like the Dean Indira’s office and the Mess Hall, those were used in Legacies 😊😂😊

This is not the first The Boys spin-off Diabolical is. This is the first "live-action" spin-off

Was not expecting much, ready to be disappointed, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Since Jordan’s original form was male-presenting, they’re probably feminine non-binary. In this, they’re probably the only character whose parents actually gave them a gift. It’s also likely meaningful the the female form is actively strong, and the male-presenting one is their defensive posture.

I think Marie sister, alongside with Cates brother are 100% in the Forest being tested on

My theory is that Sams gift is not only that he can enter other peoples minds, but also that he can do it without eye contact. Mindstorm used to be one of the most powerful supes of payback and also wen't schizophrenic at some point. He had the luck that he only entered ones mind, once he made eye contact, meaning he can only enter one mind at a time. Sam however doesn't seem to have that limitation. He can project himself without real limits. That makes him extremely useful for Vought, since he pretty much can mind control anyone, without even being close to them, maybe even multiple people at once, if he could control his powers. Fir him of course it drives him insane, since he picks up on multiple minds at once, without being able to just live in silence for a bit. He mentions how they don't think he pays attention to the codes, but he does. This implies that he can spy on the guards as they pass through each door. Maybe the experiments are attempts to control his power and pretty much make him just a vessel for voughts plans. Mind control, spying ect. The only problem vought has is that he is invulnerable, and extremely strong, so that makes it harder to contain him. Thats why they need him to make emotional bonds with people that vought can kill, to use the pressure to make him more obediant.

Just based off those first there episodes in calling it now, we might have another better call Saul situation if they can keep this up. When the boys first started there was a bit of cheese to it because we were new to the world of the boys but because we have that this series is able to be rich solid straight off the bat

I quite enjoyed this so far. First episode was kind of weak but the subsequent one's were good enough redeem it and hook me.

I enjoyed it glad you guys are covering it

This was amazing looking forward to more they never miss with the action and special effects whoever is the the special effects team and the writing is amazing dealing with real issues including the parents giving the kids they powers causing issues the girl who can make herself small learned from her mother dealing with body issues and whoever added the character who can also change into a girl was dope it deals with homophobia and her being Asian was dope love how lgbtq and ppl of color are represented and her being able to change being apart of their gift that the parents gave them but resent it and I love having a black lead with natural locs always wanted to see myself as a hero now I can with Marie❤

I really enjoyed your summary. I wish it was a podcast and at the end it was a commercial almost give me a heart attack at 11:44 night and I was so relaxing to actually listen to you. I wanna come back tomorrow when I'm more awake and relisten.

My guess is that "the woods" is a continuation of Saint Groove's experiments in season 2 with the ultimate goal of estabilizing compound V; temp V from season 3 isn't good enough. Now the question is what would be the profit from Vought doing this?

I wish Marie had more of an understanding/control/awareness of what she can do because they should really be scared of her. ALSO when you brought up the tuition it made me think about how shes there on scholarship but is being treated like a black sheep

LOL The "PRONOUNS!!!" meme Well played.

I'm looking forward to finding out about the secret underground facility experiment and Marie and Emma's stories. Marie's Powers make me a little queasy tho, it looks so sloppy

Hell yeah ThinkStory the best!!

I think Cate is behind why Golden Boy killed Brink, as she is working with Vought.

That “super able” part got me 😭😂

i rlly hope emma does get bigger from eating, it would be so much cooler than just shrinking and will make her so much more powerful, she could crawl through your brain or she could squish it between two fingers, she could be so deadly and people would stop seeing her as a joke- termite could only shrink so she would literally surpass him if she can do more than just shrink. and i bet she never got to discover if growing big was possible since her mother clearly has projected body image ideals onto her and prolly forbid her from ever eating more than she was allowed. she is literally the best character so far

I always look at the background actors and I loved that guy too 😂

I didn't even know this was coming out, but I must say I'm pleasantly surprised! I have a couple of small issues but it is interesting enough & can't wait for the rest of the season. One thing, they should have released the full season or do it in 2 parts... The weekly release is very annoying & makes people lose interest :/

Plus who knew Emma was jacked bro

Something you missed Maverick, the R.A. - is Translucent's son, this was said at Translucent's funeral scene in The Boys season 2

I just woke up and I’m listening to this video. Wild idea: Annabeth is somehow Cindy. I don’t think the ages or timeline works or fits but oh well

How did golden boy get the phone into the statue…?

I love the name references to supernatural. Sam, and Rufus.

@thinkstory Polarity’s power is magnetism he’s a parody of Magneto

23:03 Anti electrical boots is any boots/shoes with rubber sole. Or any sole that doesn't conduct electricity. Plus Andre being the son of polarity probably has Magneto type powers and not telekinesis cause y'know polarity (+ - magnetic fields)

I assumed his power was metal manipulation 🤔

From all the breakdowns I’ve watched, no one has mentioned two things 1 Chance and Jaz were co-stars on the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina 2 The empath’s powers are most like the “I heard a rumor” girl on Umbrella Academy

How has Marie not died from blood loss by cutting her hands and using her own blood?

I'm confused. Does the series take place before The Boys, during or after? At various points in the video, you said different things.

Kate erased the Golden Boy's memory. .Also, Victoria is the Dean's daughter. I bet.

I believe homelander is the parent of sam and golden boy i say that because we already know soldierboy’s dna has the genetic pontential for flight as shown with homelander and his son

I like how the main character is a black female. We don’t get enough of that nowadays

Worth noting, Andre’s powers appear more magnetic based than telekinetic. These are likely inherited from his father as they both named Polarity, with son succeeding the namesake.

Floating in a wheelchair isn't a superpower

Nathan Mitchell supposed to play new Noir

I bet her sister is in the woods

The sound thing doesn't work on Kate for some reason? She was standing right next to it ffs.

Hell yeah !

shetty is a very very very common last name in india

“Justine Super power: being a bitch” Lmfao

Fun little thing the guy who pushed Chance was Butcher

didnt edward norton start in a movie called push? thats oddly similar to this whole super hero based show

I want more 😩

Andre's power is only with metal

Nickleback 4 Lyfe!

Who ever created the character of Marie must have watched Deadman Wonderland and Tokyo Ghoul b4.

I’m a little confused. When was Polarity in the Seven if A-Train was the first Black man in the Seven? Hard to believe that almost half of the Seven were Black men at one point. Even if Black Noir’s identity was hidden

Jumanji!!

Don't polarity and andre have magnetic powers not telekenisis?

Annabeth is A train 100%

Thanks for spoiling the next episode trailer also. Some of us don’t watch trailers for next episode

Annabeth, Luke, Riordan... someone is a Percy jackson fan

I'm callin it. Golden Boy will pull a Phoenix.

Felt like I was watching “Sky High” when Marie got to the university

Is Andre Telekinetic or Magnetic?

I think Cate is a plant from vought

i gotta say, jordan's struggle as a literal transgender human being is an excellent way to approach the topic and the struggles of the LGBTQ+ community without going disney woke and turning darth vader into a pansexual non binary black assigned-woman-at-birth from harlem.

Marie's power is so gross. 😂

Annabeth might be sister sage

Is Golden Boys brother like Legion?

I’m so sick of the narratives that are pushed these days in media..the whole black female protagonist, black gay male, WM/BW IR relationship, etc..I’m sick of it

Did she really kill her parents with her period blood lol

It should actually be 6 years ago The show did the same thing scream 1 did, if u know wat i mean How did sam get projected into golden boy's dream? Neither of them hav mental powers Andre actually has metal manipulation, like magneto How did golden boy hide the phone in polaritys junk? Did u guys notice jordan's necklace. Pearl chain combo? Pearl for girl side and chain for the boy side What if homelander is in fake or rigged trial?

Its funny how the only thing i dont believe in this is the fact that a person who can change genders at will is being pushed out of the spotlight in todays society theyd be the number one hero and this is a show about super beings😂 still love the universe tho

Lol after watching the umbrella academy and how Allison used her mind control powers vs cate and it’s like wow so I don’t hate women just when bad writers make even worst characters. Cate is my favorite by far outta gen v and it took 3 episodes couldn’t get that outta 3 seasons of that trash.

It seems Jordan uses they/them pronouns just so know! Love your videos keep it up!

She killed her parents with her period😂

8:41 they/them

Was Polarity in the Seven or nah?

Even this series shows Asian hate why dies America hate us?

His name is Patrick dude. He’s trying to make a name for himself so you aren’t helping

I heard "you mean the first black woman" and knew this isn't for me. Be nice to have a black female lead that doesn't need to declare she's a black woman. It's not a good show, Rose tinted glasses spring to mind. 3 years you will all admit its not very good

W

👍👍

I think Marie deep down is just as fake as everyone else

I thought it was some new gen z shit

🦝

I couldn't make it past 5 minutes in this show

I'm hoping this show gets better.
