The second season of Gen V is coming to a close, and Marie Moreau (played by Jaz Sinclair) faces the danger of becoming the next Homelander (Antony Starr) due to a particular set of circumstances. Be warned: spoilers follow!
The new series related to ‘The Boys’ delves into the backstory of Vought International, revealing their intense efforts to develop stronger superheroes. This involved a secret project called Odessa, which was responsible for creating both Homelander and Moreau.
The seventh episode of Gen V Season 2 surprised viewers with a clever twist: a major villain had been secretly manipulating events all along, using Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater) as their tool.
Okay, so Marie’s definitely the main character in Gen V, but the season finale had me seriously worried. It feels like she’s on a path that could turn her into the *next* Homelander, and that’s a scary thought!
Marie Moreau is becoming dangerously hypocritical with her powers in Gen V Season 2
It’s worrying that Marie is now criticizing her friends for using their powers when she’s doing the same thing herself – it feels hypocritical.
In Episode 7, Marie confronts Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips), letting her know she doesn’t trust her due to Cate’s past betrayal of the team and use of mind control on their behalf, working with Vought. Ironically, Marie then acts in a very similar way later in the same episode.
When Jordan (played by Derek Luh/London Thor) attempts to prevent Marie from searching for Vought scientist Thomas Godolkin (Ethan Slater), Marie uses her bloodbending powers to control the group. She painfully lifts her friends into the air and then drops them, effectively stopping them from interfering with her search.
Throughout the second season of Gen V, Dean Cipher (Hamish Linklater) has been helping Marie develop her abilities. She can now manipulate the blood within a person’s body and control their movements.
She has healing abilities, demonstrated by her ability to stop Polarity’s (Patrick Thomas) seizures and seemingly revive Annabeth (Keeya King) after a fatal throat injury.
As Marie’s abilities increase, her views on when and how people should use powers are changing, and that’s concerning. The only other person created through Project Odessa was Homelander, and his descent into tyranny creates a worrying pattern for Marie’s future.
The writers of Gen V seem to be highlighting the similarities between Marie and Homelander, suggesting they’re both driven by similar forces, so hopefully Marie doesn’t turn into a complete villain. However, her attempts to control her friends’ powers are a bit worrying, even though Dunlap did betray her first.
This way of thinking is similar to the villain’s plan in the season finale – to eliminate students he deemed unworthy because of their abilities.
Get ready for a major showdown at Godolkin University when the next episode of Gen V drops! While we wait, let’s recap all the appearances from characters in *The Boys* that we’ve seen in Gen V so far, and look ahead to what’s coming in Season 5 of *The Boys*.
