GEN V ENDING EXPLAINED!

on the season finale of gen V you just can't go around killing people why what do you mean why cuz you can't why well if you're like me you finished the season finale of gen V and we're like what the [ __ ] we have a crazy twist ending a mid credit scene and a cameo from everyone's favorite familyfriendly superhero if you're wondering who Jeff was working undercover for how VA Twisted the massacre at gulan or even where Marie and the Gang are I have theor for all of that and more in this video so let's get into it and make sure to like And subscribe yeah sure whatever we have a lot to get into it's not every day you get your Dean to commit suicide Marie and the Gang are left stunned after Kate offed Dean and DEA Shetty the woman responsible for the creation of a soup killing virus which is now conveniently in the hands of vice presidential candidate Victoria Newman what could go wrong a lot is happening Dean Shetty tasked Kate with killing the remaining prisoners in the woods an underground testing facility created by VA to learn how soups work but unbeknownst to VA Dean Shetty went rogue and developed an Airborne virus to kill all soups in season one of the boys the Dean's husband and daughter died aboard trans Oceanic Flight 37 the flight homelander and mave saved from Terrace only to let it crash into the ocean I tend to believe the theory that homelander wanted the plane to crash in an attempt to sway public opinion in allowing soups into the military if they let us into the military then this will never happen again to the dean homelander VA and all soups are a destructive force that needs to be wiped out at any cost so when Kate decides to kill the dean she believes she's doing something good when I'm done maybe eventually you'll realize I'm being a hero this is a really tragic decision for Kate as the dean was kind of a mother figure for her in episode 6 we saw how Kate's parents locked her away from afraid that she'll hurt others with her power the dean was the first person to love Kate for who she is to not be afraid of her but this turned out to be one giant manipulation and that feeling of betrayal by Kate surely factored into her decision to kill her Kate believes the inmates of the woods should be set free and she won't let Marie Jordan or Emma stop her and in a surprising twist Sam joins her remember this is a guy who just a few episodes ago almost killed Kate trust me right Let Her Go Kate was responsible for wiping golden boy's memories so that he'd forget he even had a brother and for years Sam was tested on had needles injected into his spine and was imprisoned below the university he only sees humans as evil just like Shetty only saw soups as such and even though Emma tells Sam not to help Kate Sam goes anyway maybe it's time for me to save you meanwhile Andre waits for news about his father last episode we saw saw him experience violent seizures which caused his magnetic powers to almost crush him and his son to death he's been taken to VA Tower and I love this quick insert shot where you can see it's being repaired after the giant battle between the boys and soldier boy at the end of season 3 take note here of his hospital gown it looks a little familiar to some gowns we'll see later on but more on that in a bit the dock here says that every time polarity uses his powers it creates a micro tear in his brain and over time this led to these seizures it's something that cannot be reversed this has huge implications for not just polarity but for Andre polarity will no longer be able to use his powers I mean he can but he risks killing himself doing so for a guy whose entire Persona revolves around his superpower this news is catastrophic for Andre it begs the question about his future he's probably tearing his brain after he uses his powers I love how the doctor asked him if he's experienced any ticks and just check out his facial expressions here later in the episode Andre will land a helicopter with his power and if that didn't cause a tear in his brain surely it would have caused one in my pants I don't know what I'm saying Andre hasn't talked to his father since learning he was complicit in what was happening with the woods don't say another word about this it's important to know that polarity had no knowledge of Dean shed's soup killing virus so polarity apologizes to Andre stating that what he did was to protect Andre and his family but I got to say po was just being the good little soldier doing whatever V told him and this is what he wants for Andre too telling him that he's done with school just put his head down do whatever vot tells you and even has his costume refitted so that it fits Andre even though Andre tries to tell his father their powers are killing them polarity tells his son to take up the mantle and do what is right for their family this is the sacrifice polarity made and now he's wanting Andre to make it too you're going to be a better polarity than I ever was so it looks like next season we'll see Andre struggling over whether or not to use his powers and follow in his Father's Footsteps to me this whole micro tear thing brings up the question of whether or not other soups will be affected by soup specific ailments we haven't really gotten our first generation of geriatric soup so as they get older they'll be faced with new diseases disabilities and illnesses that the medical field has yet to see the wild card here is Marie we still don't know the extent of her powers and I can't help but think that she may able to heal those micro tears speaking of brain problems at the end of season 3 of the boys Billy butcher is diagnosed with brain lesions after taking six doses of compound v24 the compound that gives you powers for 24 hours he's given 12 to 18 months to live polarity also is my number one guess at who will take over as the new Dean of gulkan he's a trustee and a VA Yes Man and now that he shouldn't use his powers a more administrative rule may be just what he needs Ashley Barrett CEO of va has made her way to campus later in the video I'll talk about how Ashley isn't the real CEO and this may have something to do with the events that unfold at the end of the episode this past semester has been an absolute [ __ ] show from Golden Boy fertilizing the lawn with his guts the cluster fudge that was Victoria Newman's town hall and application rates to gulan have plummeted totally off topic but it would be really cool if we saw other rival soup universities in order to distract the public from this mess Ash has come to gulan to choose a new member of the seven and who do we see here none other than Andre Anderson it's pretty gross how all vot cares about his branding and Optics let's be honest they don't give a [ __ ] about GPA hell the deep is one of the seven my new motto for mental health realiz realize [Music] realiz Andre's right up here shows how he could be a potential brand and risk having been friends with the vilified Golden Boy and His rocky relationship with polarity but he does have an additional skill a British accent something he showed off in the chilling Adventures of Sabrina abstinence is encouraged what the hell there's also a brief mention of his mother Leila who ran polarity brand we don't know much about her other than she's deceased meanwhile Kate and Sam undertake their rescue of the woods Kate mistakenly calls this guard Greg which has been a running joke throughout the season Greg uh I'm Bob Bob I'm Greg hey Greg will clean up later let's go using her ability Kate gets the guard to open the cells where we're introduced to a host of new soups there's teleport guy sweaty melt yourf face guy and Laser Eye girl it must be a weird experience for Sam to return here but when he looks into his cell he's haunted by a vision of his brother throughout the episode we'll see Golden Boy act as Sam's conscience telling him not to go through killing innocent people it actually gets so bad bad that he asked Kate to make him feel nothing I feel so empty one of the things I found a bit awkward this episode was Kate letting out the inmates not knowing whether or not they might carry this virus I don't know about you guys but if I saw Andy over here who died from it then met sweaty guy I'd be like uh let's uh slow this down a bit whether this sweat is caused by his heating power or the virus is never known but the way the show kind of just brushes the S Suggest it's part of his power it's seeing Andy's body that actually fuels the others to commit these Mass crimes against innocent humans they've been subject to such cruelty it's time for Revenge e your own fing hands you monster with the inmates free all hell breaks loose with Professor ranata abara who we actually saw in episode three having her face melted with Marie Emma and Jordan arriving at the woods too late they decide to split up and stop the marauding bands of murderous soups Marie will hit the campus alarm Emma will alert the others and Jordan will rescue Ashley and the gulan trustees the episode's first big twist involves everyone's favorite social media director Jeff # blackl magic he's been secretly working undercover for an unknown person or organization in The Season's second episode we learned he tripped on the red carpet while attending paleyfest but who knows if that's even true considering we now know he's this undercover agent in this EP he's all healed now but who could he be working for let's lay out everything we know about him he knows about the woods telling the electricity soup she should have stayed in her cage he has no remorse for the soups in the woods is not a soup himself since he's not affected by the Sonic whistle and he has access to some higher end Tech like the whistle and head exploding discs he also controls the University's social media so he's heavily involved in the dissemination of information there are three theories on who he could be working for and I'll put them in order of what I think is strongest the first is Ashley Barrett and VA how else could you be given this Tech like the Sonic whistle which we previously saw only held by VA guards within the woods with all the [ __ ] going on at gulan I'm sure Ashley would want someone on the inside keeping her up to date on everything plus Jeff also tries to get soups to promote vot products and takes legitimate care in his role as a social media manager no it's perfect just just take a sip say turbo Rush K's hangovers the two other people he could be working for are the boys or Victoria Newman but the reason I lean more towards Ashley and VA is that it seems the boys and Newman only learned about the woods last episode yet Jeff has been working here for at least the beginning of the semester there is a small chance he could be working for Victoria or the Federal Bureau of superhuman Affairs if Victoria actually knew about the woods before Marie told her about it last episode it's hinted that Victoria and Dean Shetty may have known one another since it was Victoria who ensured Marie got into gulkan and that Marie wouldn't be given over to Dr cardosa as one of his test subjects Jeff also tells the person on the other line quote rehab might be unlocked this appears to be a reference to the escaped inmates into the woods as a rehab that could be used to suppress or take away one's Powers bonus points if you caught that the dude the electricity soup explodes here is the same guy who gave Andre vurger in episode 5 kind of holding up the line there dog back in the boardroom Ashley and the trustees look over Maverick as a potential member of the seven he is translucent son after all but this is interrupted by Kate pushing Jeff to commit suicide live on his social media in Adam bork's class Liam performs a monologue from the smashit film dawn of the s a movie which we saw filming in the boys season 2 and the premiere of at the beginning of the boys season 3 I'm a lot like you I'm gay classes cut short however with the arrival of Sam who almost ends up choking Adam to death fortunately Emma arrives just in the nick of time to get her heart broken over the past few episodes Emma and Sam have developed a romantic relationship sh but Sam's radicalization and Lust For Revenge Cloud his judgment in fact he says the most hurtful thing he could possibly say to Emma you're not a hero Emma started the season off resigned to a life of acting she'd probably go about her life as some sort of reality TV star and not a real hero but over the course of the Season she's tried to prove to herself and others that she has what it takes to be one perhaps this is why she was so adamant to help Andre in his attempt to break out Sam in episode 3 after crying the camera pushes back to reveal Emma has shrunk we know that in order for her to get small she has to purge so the question arises can she also get small by crying I mean both are bodily fluids being expelled from the body just don't ask me what happens when she poops that's disgusting Sam has to make a choice continue with Kate and hold humans accountable for the crimes they've committed or listen to Golden Boy stop Kate because what they're doing is murdering in innocent people Sam ends up siding with Kate after realizing Golden Boy is a figment of his imagination Harper and Justine the girl you may remember getting her jaw busted by Jordan last episode stream the massacre as Marie hits the alarm putting the school in lockdown but worst of all no Wi-Fi oh my God I just lost Wi-Fi the alarm not only shuts down the campus with these metal doors but it triggers a vast network of Sonic whistles harming only soups within range it begs the question question were the lockdowns ever really for the protection of the students in the background we can make out a display for a student named Alexis gorch she is currently ranked number nine at gulan so it's possible they were considering her for the seven job as well the Sonic whistle is shortlived however when one of the inmates uses his scream attack to disable the alarm also bonus points if you heard the Wilhelm scream here Ashley tells her assistant also Ashley yes that's her official character name to find homelander in radio in for the helicopter this wouldn't be also Ashley's first experience with a helicopter as she was denied access to one after vot Tower was evacuated in the boys season 3 with you Ashley to the helipad yeah so the sakori is actually reserved for svps and hire a desperate Ashley has her and the other trustees call the potential candidates and offer them the seven job if they kill these Rogue soups we know that Marie has always wanted to be in the seven but even this seems a bit too far for her that is until Ashley offers her something even bigger the chance to meet her sister all we really know about Marie's sister is that she was placed into foster care after the murder of her parents in episode 2 Haley Miller tells Marie that they contacted her sister who wanted nothing to do with her but Shetty says in the next episode that was likely a tactic to get Marie flustered before getting on camera we also don't know if Marie's sister has powers it's likely that she does considering her parents gave Marie compound V would they not do the same to her sister Kate pushes a soup to knock down the approaching vot helicopter but Andre uses all his might to land it safely and Andre here looks absolutely messed up after doing this no doubt this is causing those micro tears in the very fabric of his brain he tells marray that he'll try to talk to Kate and Marie refers to the two of them as the Guardians of gulan a name that was taken away from him after he missed his big interview in episode 2 now that she's off her meds Kate tells Andre that she can push a heck of a lot more before passing out the drugs had been limiting her powers all these years and even though Andre tells her they're on the same side are they does Andre really want to be like his dad a man who was complicit in VA schemes a man who knew about what was going on in the woods and yet did nothing meanwhile Marie has to fight off Maverick something that proves it difficult considering he's invisible last episode we saw Victoria encouraging Marie to focus on her blood finally able to see the compound V flowing through it Marie focuses here as well well soon being able to sense Maverick's blood to identify him and take him out and while Jordan takes on screamer suit we see my new favorite background actor Andre tells Kate they can figure this all out and Kate offers her non-g gloved hand but when Andre hesitates in taking it she knows Andre doesn't trust her Sam storms in and the two battle it out with Andre using his powers to grab a taser and knock Sam out Marie tells Kate that all she ever wanted was to be a her hero someone her sister could be proud of but now she doesn't care about being a hero she just wants to be a good person but Kate reiterates that she's trying to save Marie and others like her with VA they are not treated as people but as products their confrontation is cut short when Jordan is attacked by three of the woods prisoners with Marie giving laser girl over here a heart attack another inmate goes for Ashley Adam and the trustees who have taken refuge in the downed helicopter and it's here we see one of the most badass parts of the episode episode where Marie takes the blood of nearby corpses to create these blood shards to kill the approaching soup it's here that things seem to settle down but not before Kate approaches Jordan to push him but Marie is like bye [ __ ] and spontaneously explodes her hand before anything can be done we hear the sound barrier being broken as homelander descends on campus and just listen to how dissonant his music is here it's assumed that homelander is currently on trial for the death of a Starlight supporter at the end of season 3 but that he's on some sort of bail and allowed to continue his work as part of the seven homelander was called here by Ashley and in a huge twist asked Marie if she's an animal for harming one of her own kind over the course of the first three seasons of the boys we've seen homelander become more and more radical in his views on soups versus Humans just listen to how he talks to at train after killing a soup in season 3 how could you kill kill one of your own kind in Cold Blood it's kind of hypocritical considering homelander has killed many soups including black noir but by far the biggest WTF moment is what happens after Marie is blasted by homelanders laser eyes we find out that vot has spun the entire Massacre to be the result of Emma Marie Andre and Jordan and it would have been far worse if it weren't for the new guardians of gulan Sam and Kate we'll see homelander watching the news at VA Tower with a smile on his face remember that homelander has full control over VA with Ashley acting as a public figurehead with the title he did this after outing Stan Edgar so it can be assumed that homelander orchestrated this whole thing and has interests that are separate from that of Ashley's at the end of season 3 Ashley saw that mave was still alive and deleted the security footage something she's kept secret from homelander as a small Act of rebellion we know that Sam and Kate both hate VA so why would homelander not not only spare them but make them the new guardians of gulkan that's because the three of them share something in common a hatred for humans I'm glad you chose your own kind that was smart if I'm Sam Kate and homelander comes to me after this event and says look I hate humans too and if you follow me I'll make sure we do something about it that's like the best deal ever but it still doesn't explain where Marie Jordan Emma and Andre are when Marie awakens from her injury she finds herself along with the others in a circular hospital room with no doors there is a door it's just done the ceiling here with one of those wheel handle thingies you'd normally see on a naval vessel note the vot hospital gowns which appear to be identical to the ones a train wore at VA Tower in season 3 and polarity in VA Tower this episode so we're likely at VA Tower or at least a facility owned and operated by VA homelander wouldn't have outright killed these kids seeing has he's already wanted for murder and that probably wouldn't have been a good look so while they may be imprisoned they are definitely not being treated like genocidal murderers first it looks like they're getting fantastic care second they're allowed to be in the same room together and third Emma even has a smoothie wait hold on a second there's a fourth does Andre have his phone here Jordan Emma and Andre don't even seem to be that concerned they're not panicked at all trying to find a way out so I think they know where they are I will note the security cameras here so someone is definitely watching them their good treatment may be the result of Ashley after all these guys saved her life so if they're going to get out of here I wouldn't be surprised if Ashley is the one to help Ashley knows how messed up and unhinged homelander is so I would expect her in the upcoming season of the boys to undermine his authority and what happens if homelander gets convicted of murder you really think he's going to jail all hell will break loose if that happens we already saw in episode 7 at the Town Hall a soup questioning the impartiality of the human jurors in the case can a soup be fairly judged by a jur J of human peers now if you stuck a little bit longer through the credits you'll get this super brief scene of Billy butcher discovering the woods timeline wise we don't really know when this is in relation to the massacre at gulan with all the [ __ ] going down there and Grace learning from Shetty of the creation of a soup killing virus on campus it's not a surprise to see a member of the boys here if Billy and the boys find out more about the woods it may uncover homelander and vot's coverup of the massacre or even Victoria Newman's possession of the virus whatever might be in store for us for the boy season 4 it definitely looks like the writers have a lot to play with but what do you think is going to happen I want to hear your thoughts and theories in the comments below thanks for watching please be sure to like And
