This article contains spoilers For the first three episodes of season 2 of “Gen V” – “New Year, New U”, “Justice Never Forgets” and “H is for Human”.
Season 2 of “Gen V” brings back the vast majority of its surviving protagonists and antagonists, but there is a major exception: Andre Anderson of Chance Perdomo, the son of polarity magnetism (Sean Patrick Thomas), is not found. Unfortunately, there is a very real and very tragic reason for his departure, as well as the homage text “for luck” after the summary of season 1 in episode 1 (“New Year, New U”).
On March 30, 2024, the star of “Gen V” Perdomo died at 27 after a motorcycle accident. A few days after the tragedy, the producers of the show announced that “Gen V” does not refund Andre after the death of Perdomo, by choosing rather to rework season 2 to reflect the real situation. In the first three episodes, we see how it was done. Episode 1 leaves advice on Andre’s death during the captivity of the group between the seasons – an event that shaken the other main characters in the heart.
The first of the season finally explains that the character of Perdomo died of a heroic death while he was trying to save his friends, but suffered a fatal stroke while trying to tear a large steel door with his powers. Episodes 2 (“Justice Never Forgets”) and 3 (“H Is For Human”) also discuss his death and cover in detail how many others are missing. In the end, the polarity – of which the own stroke and the sorrow of season 1 on the death of his son led him to give up Vought and to ask for revenge – decides to join the protagonists of their quest to spy on God U and, we hope, find a way to avenge Andre’s death.
The summary of season 1 in the premiere of season 2 of generation 2 states André’s fate
After season 2 of “Gen V” reveals what happened to Andre, it is worth returning and giving the summary of season 1 at the start of “New Year, New U” another look. It turns out that the summary is filled to the brim of tribute to Andre (and therefore Perdomo), as well as clues to the fate of the character.
Andre is the very first character we see in the summary, and he gets a lot of screen time throughout. The summary also devotes a lot of time to the aforementioned stroke of Polarity in season 1, which revealed that the father and the son have the same weakness: the use of their magnetism powers slowly damages their brain beyond repair.
It should be noted that André was specifically aware of this risk which is accompanied by his powers when he chose to save his friends from captivity instead of simply fleeing (which, as a comparison, is Marie Moreau de Jaz Sinclair chose to do). Because he knew his limits and how risky the door maneuver would be, Andre made an effective heroic sacrifice knowingly to save the people he loved the most. It is clear that people behind the show reflect for a long time of the best way to honor Perdomo and his character, because as off -screen shipments go, it is difficult to think of a more chivalrous weight – especially in the context of a show as brutal as the “Gen V”.
Season 2 of “Gen V” is in trouble on Prime Video.
