"The Boys" spinoff a go at Amazon

[Bob Jersey]

A young-adult series, but R-rated, Nellie sez, to be showrun by the familiar Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters...

The spinoff has a title: "Gen V."  Tweetybox-video welcome from the cast.

When I heard two of the cast members were named "Lizzie Broadway" and "London Thor", I honestly thought this was a rib.

People may have said as much about Beth(lehem) Million (link to thread), whom besides that movie mentioned, was also in two episodes of And Just Like That... as "Smoke".     B

I'll throw this in here... now in season four, the envy-heavy series now enters a new pantheon of the bizarre, with a "cocksplosion"...

"Envy-heavy" took some deciphering as well - if it's supposed to mean "N.V.-heavy," as in "nudity and violence-heavy," then it is that (well, there have been penises, at least - women's private parts have been avoided via specific blocking and camera shots).

I can't imagine the show literally being "envy-heavy," as in, "I heavily envy these people for having superpowers," because it makes having superpowers seem very undesirable, in many ways.

Ben is right... and for Jim, not being directly able to watch, I presumed a few things about the nudity...     B

The nudity isn't really a surprise, considering that the predecessor series featured, on multiple occasions, a character whose 'power' was a prehensile wang.
