Gen V Season 2 solves the greatest mystery of Marie in the show (and it’s quite shocking)

This message contains major spoilers For season 2, episode 3 of “Gen V.”

“Gen V” is back with a blow, and his second season promises even more dislocated shenanigans at Godolkin University (Gracieuseé de Vought, of course). The fascinating final of season 4 of “The Boys” division 4 directly shapes the events of this new season, the Supes playing a more dangerously authoritarian role in America (to the detriment of the targeting of non-seupes trying to coexist with them). This change is also felt in Goddu, where humans are constantly on board after the revelation of last season on Dean Shetty (Shelley Conn) and the horrible experiences that have been carried out on young supes. Although these experiences should never have occurred, this incident is used as ammunition against groups marginalized by Vought, as it helps to legitimize their propaganda for a first America.

In the middle of this chaos, Marie (Jaz Sinclair) manages to leave the establishment where she was confined alongside Jordan (Derek Luh / London Thor), Emma (Lizze Broadway) and Andre (Chance Perdomo). The others are unable to go out, but Emma and Jordan are pardoned by Vought and brought back to Goddu for advertising purposes in the aftermath of André’s tragic death. Jordan is naturally upset with Marie for having abandoned them, but the two are able to talk about it and dig more deeply in the mysterious Odessa project. Although we are not aware of the exact objective behind Odessa, Emma manages to discover that Marie is the only subject of surviving test of this experimentation program led by Vought.

Episode 3 acts as the culmination of the desperate research of Marie and for decades of her sister Annabeth (played by Maria Nashbacks), because she reveals shocking answers on her fate. Marie evokes a certain aunt Pam, a friend of the family who had refused to speak to her after the tragic accident who killed Marie’s parents. A trip to Pam’s residence reveals new facets on Odessa, as well as the fact that Pam had adopted Annabeth two years after the incident. Let us strip these developments to understand how they finally present Mary the possibility of shamelessly telling her truth.

Season 1 presents Marie as a haunted and deeply traumatized person. His most visceral fears involved failure of his sister Annabeth and to be perceived as a monster for accidentally triggered the blood capacities that killed his parents. The social stigma of the incident manifests itself in the form of PAM, which deals with Mary with civility but remains cold and distant at the beginning. When Marie questions him a photo taken just after her birth, Pam specifies that the birth of Marie was sponsored, because her two parents were desperately trying to conceive but could not do it naturally.

Consequently, Marie was designed in a dedicated fertility clinic, and the V in her veins was more a safety measure than a way for her parents to earn money. Although it obliges Marie to feel marginally better, she feels scared after Pam shows her a photo of the current Goddu Cipher (Hamish Linklater) holding her just after her birth. It is disturbing, because Cipher seems strangely invested in Marie and wants to constantly push her to her limits in a twisted attempt to unlock her potential. The revelation of PAM according to which Cipher was the one who delivered Marie strengthens her links to Odessa and presents the latter as a kind of chosen (or in this case, a joyful weapon which can control and manipulate).

But the most shocking result of this visit is when Marie stumbles in the room of a teenager and realizes that it is Annabeth, that she is looking for forever. The confrontation with PAM only makes ugly feelings on the surface, because Pam cruelly declares that Annabeth did not want to see her and that the two are afraid of Marie. This allows Mary to finally say her truth, because she firmly says that Pam is the one who failed Annabeth, because she contributed to her fear and her resentment instead of explaining that the tragedy was not Mary’s fault. This explosion is valid because it sums up the raw sorrow and the rage that Marie has experienced since the incident, giving her a cathartic outlet to blame those who are really responsible.

Back in season 1, Marie and her friends were trapped in Kate’s landscape (Maddie Phillips) a little, where each of them had to face her deepest fears before finding a way out. As expected, Marie reviews the horrible incident in this landscape and is forced to face a terrified Annabeth, who criticizes her the death of their parents and the brand a monster. Marie cries helpless, trying to prove that she did not intend that her powers were turning away, because she was as much a victim as Annabeth. Marie is able to have her moment of breakthrough after this mental confrontation, because she realizes that none of this was never her fault (which is the key feeling she uses to help Kate get out of limbo).

Even before Marie went into Goddu, her main motivation has always been to find her sister. However, this is perceived as a weakness of Vought, because it is the perfect negotiation chip for anyone who wants to control or manipulate it. During season 2, Marie’s post-brief days are marked by efforts to find Annabeth, where we see her tirelessly in adoption centers and houses in favor of hope that she will find an index on her fate. The direct involvement of PAM as Annabeth’s parental figure is simply betrayal, and her audacity to blame Marie despite the knowledge of the inflamed truth the young Supe. Marie clearly indicates that she has finished taking responsibility for the choices that were made in her name, because it was not her An idea to be born in a clinic sponsored by Vought like a baby with a V compound crossing his veins.

After all, Marie was only a child who had her first period and had no knowledge of the drug or the way she manifests herself as her blood capacities. While Marie’s parents meant well, their decision to keep their daughter in the darkness turned in the most horrible imaginable way. Before leaving, Marie Chantie Pam (and by extension, each adult who exacerbated her guilt), exhorting him to do better by telling Annabeth the truth about her sister.

As Marie is clearly an integral part of Odessa, Godu and Vought, Annabeth’s potential yield could disrupt the status quo and change the trajectory of everyone’s arcs – for better or for worse. That this new development reorganizes the issues, it is something that only time will tell us.

The first three episodes of “Gen V” are currently in trouble on Prime Video.
