EP Michele Fazekas on Gen V, the episode 5 character twist, drawing from real-life college experiences, the Marie & Jordan dynamic, and using puppets.
The Big Picture The Amazon Studios original series Gen V, set between Seasons 3 and 4 of The Boys, takes the blood splatter to Godolkin University, where only supes are allowed to attend and train to be the next generation of heroes. And while not all supes go bad, the pressure of being at the top of the class mixed with a heightened level of college chaos can lead any superhero to the brink of villainy.
MICHELE FAZEKAS: It’s definitely an instance of the college experience of drinking too much or taking too many drugs and losing track of time. When it comes to lost time, Eric Kripke often talks about his 21st birthday when he was in college. So, yeah, this is our version of that story, and it’s also a good cover story for what really happened. It’s why they’re able to initially be like, “Oh, I guess I just got really fucked up last night,” until they start to put the pieces together.
Was that something that was very clear, as far as what to show, what not to show, and how to show it, or did that take some shuffling around as you kept working on the episode? FAZEKAS: Yeah. The point is not the trick. The point is not wiping the memory. The point is, what does it do to your character? So, yeah, I agree that it’s not a well that you want to keep going back to.
