Gen V / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Gen V / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Godolkin University as a whole evokes all the worst sides of American student athlete programs, from the highly competitive environment, students getting maimed or killed on a regular basis to the star students getting bailed out of crimes. Emma's shrinking ability involves vomiting to make herself smaller and binging food to grow bigger, strongly evoking bulimia and binge-eating. However, this is addressed and she insists that it is nothing like an eating disorder. Rufus using his powers to attempt to rape Marie is compared to a rapist using rohypnol. The campus riot is made to resemble a mass school shooting. When Homelander confronts Marie in the finale, he asks her what kind of animal she is, and if she likes attacking her own kind before lazily giving himself an alibi to kill her by shouting "Stay back!", knowing there's a (majority white) crowd watching. As with the main series, right-wing media and supporters are lampooned as biased or ignorant. A media pundit gives cartoonishly biased coverage of Victoria Neuman and speculates that she's backed by George Soros, a well-known boogeyman to extreme-right conspiracy theorists. Later, at a town hall event hosted by the pundit, the red-and-white-capped Rufus leads a chant of "You will not control us!" This echoes MAGA rallies and the infamous "Unite the Right" rally in which white supremacists chanted "You will not replace us!"

Viewers will know that Vought just wants them for marketing purposes and that, if any of them were to go against Vought's plans, they will at best get sidelined and, at worst, get a visit from Victoria Neuman.

Episode 2 features cameos from Cameron Coleman (presenter of Vought News), Ashley Barrett, and Adam Bourke (the director of Dawn of the Seven). Episode 3 has a clip of the Deep talking about Brinkerhoff. Episode 6 sees Soldier Boy cameo as an Imaginary Friend in Cate's memories. In Episode 7, Principal Shetty meets Grace Mallory to try and convince her to get onboard with her plan to genocide supes. Episode 8 has Homelander arrive at God U to put a stop to the rampaging supes. Butcher also makes an appearance in a mid-credits scene investigating The Woods.

And that's not even getting into "The Woods" beneath the school, which appear to be a combination between this and some kind of research facility. The episode "Jumanji" shows that Cate was confined to her room for nine years due to her parents being terrified of her abilities, complete with a blast door to make sure she couldn't get out. The ending sees Emma, Andre, Marie and Jordan locked on a white windowless and doorless cell.

He's technically not a serial rapist like his comic counterpart (so far at least), but he apparently takes pride in framing people for crimes they didn't commit until they get put in prison or kill themselves, something the comic version never did. He also gloats about blackmailing Shetty into giving him oral sex in return for not framing her, apparently seriously. And he justifies going after Shetty on the basis that she is not a supe, implying that he is a supe supremacist like Homelander from the mother series (when in the comics he didn't have superpowers himself).

When Marie and Jordan sleep together for the first time, the two of them wake up with Jordan in their female form. Jordan assumes that Marie doesn't like their female form — an insecurity rooted in their past experience with their ex Jenny, who wanted them to be in male form all the time — so they tell her everything is cool between them and it was nothing. However, after talking to Maverick about their insecurities, Jordan tries to tell Marie that it wasn't just nothing. Marie has clearly had her memory wiped, though. This becomes more of a priority to Jordan and they don't go through with the confession.

Star Wars was also referenced by Emma as one of the movies she guesses is Sam's favorite. Clancy Brown has numerous roles in the franchise due to being both an actor and a voice actor. In the pilot, it is mentioned that many actors that starred in Riverdale and Pretty Little Liars graduated from the Godolkin University. Jaz Sinclair (Marie) and Chance Perdomo (Andre) starred as main characters in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina which had a crossover with Riverdale, which in return may even share the same universe with Pretty Little Liars. ExplanationPretty Little Liars: Original Sin is both a Sequel Series an Soft Reboot of the original show, and exists within the same continuity with Riverdale and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Gen V / int_8ae880f7	comment	Deconstruction: While the main series deconstructs superheroes as a whole, Gen V takes apart the Superhero School. While Godolkin University is an Extranormal Institute, it still has to deal with the problems a normal college would have to deal with (such as students being restless and getting high on narcotics), which are exacerbated by how many of its students have superpowers that can easily hurt or kill people if used recklessly. Additionally, the institute is perfectly willing to throw students under the bus to save its reputation, as Marie nearly finds out. Lastly, as the main series showed, Supes are just people with powers, and have a plethora of issues, some of which are worsened by said powers - Emma's powers involve shrinking herself by vomiting / binge-eating to grow in size, which has not only caused her to lose the enamel on her back teeth, but is also implied to have given her bulimia.

The scenes that features cameos from characters in the main series, however, establish that this show takes place in the aftermath of Season 3, where Vought is working on a variant of Compound V that is compatible with adults while the Seven crumble under the increasingly insane Homelander. The result is that the cast of Gen V are all working toward their dreams, unaware their era is about to close out. More generically, all of the supes at Godolkin want to become heroes for the sake of helping others. Viewers will know that Vought just wants them for marketing purposes and that, if any of them were to go against Vought's plans, they will at best get sidelined and, at worst, get a visit from Victoria Neuman. In "Welcome to the Monster Club," Jordan tells Marie "He fucking wiped you again!", believing that Rufus was the one responsible for Marie's memory getting wiped. This comes right after The Reveal that Cate is actually the one who has been wiping their memories.

The name "The Guardians of Godolkin" is pitched to Marie after Golden Boy's death but Vought's representative says that it has too many syllables; in fact, it has the same number of syllables as Guardians of the Galaxy. Multiple cities in Texas and Florida are called out as markets that dislike Jordan for their Sex Shifter powers and being bigender, with the implication being that the states as a whole are transphobic. This is likely also intended as a potshot at the states becoming decidedly unfriendly locations for the LGBTQ+ community after the passing of legislation deliberately intended to screw over such people by the states' respective Governors Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis. Tek Knight refers his plans to cover up for Vought by unleashing misinformation, misdirection, obfuscation, and throwing an innocent patsy under the bus as "Johnny Depp-ing" someone, referring to the media frenzy around the accusations against Depp of spousal abuse.

Gen V / int_eb8f64a6	type	No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
Gen V / int_eb8f64a6	comment	No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Marie accidentally kills her parents when they barge in the bathroom to help her when her powers awaken. Marie saves a woman after Andre injures her by accident and the video ends spread all over the internet. But instead of rewarding her, Brink intends for her to be blamed for the accident and expelled from the school, in order to protect the reputation of Andre and his high-ranking friends. Subverted, as Brink died before he could expel her. Jordan fights Golden Boy when he has a psychotic break and likely saves several people lives in the process, only for Vought to give Andre and Marie all merit because they are more marketable. This even drops Jordan from #2 of Godolkin to #5. Emma rescues Sam from The Woods where he was being tortured and experimented on in "The Whole Truth", but by the time the season finale rolls around, Sam condemns this act as selfish, stating that Emma only did it for herself to feel like a hero. In "Guardians of Godolkin", Marie, Emma, Jordan, and Andre work together to stop the supes who are killing any person without superpowers on campus... and Vought places the blame for the attack on them. On top of that, Sam and Cate are credited with stopping it, when they were the ones who released the supes from The Woods.

Gen V / int_ecd402d1	type	Self-Harmâ€“Induced Superpower
Gen V / int_ecd402d1	comment	Self-Harmâ€“Induced Superpower: Marie has the power to manipulate her own blood and use it as whips. She just has to bleed herself first. In a less conventional way, Emma has to vomit in order to shrink and binge in order to become big, meaning she's emulating another form of self-harm.

Gen V / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: Almost all main characters fit this, but it goes double for Cate who almost only uses her powers to either get free expensive alcohol or make her enemies fulfill painful and humiliating sexual attacks on themselves. Then it's revealed that she's even more powerful than she seems, that she knows The Conspiracy behind Godolkin and is helping Shetty keep it, before becoming The Starscream and leading a supe supremacist riot in the campus. Quite the resume for a soft spoken supe girl without superstrength!

Cate inadvertently killed her little brother as a girl when he'd been annoying her by telling him to go into the woods and never come back. This happened to be the moment her Compelling Voice manifested, and so he did. He was never found.
