00:00Why is everyone at the school so hot?
00:02You gotta talk to the admissions office.
00:05What's up, InStyle?
00:06We are the cast of Gen V, and today we are going to be opening up Fan Mail.
00:14Let's go!
00:17Come on!
00:19I'll open it.
00:21No, I'll just leave it closed.
00:22No.
00:23Oh, it's a long one.
00:24It's a long one.
00:25Okay. Oh, it says Jazz. That's me.
00:28We know Marie's getting a power upgrade this season.
00:31But what about the rest of the cast?
00:33Do you think they'll get a power-up too?
00:35And if so, what do you think they'll be?
00:38I feel like we can all answer this question.
00:40No, Jessie, go down the line. Go down the line.
00:43I think we all get a power-up.
00:46I think so.
00:47Derek!
00:48That is me.
00:50This is good paper.
00:52I don't know if the viewers at home can know this.
00:54This is good, thick paper.
00:56Oh, this is like photo paper.
00:58What type of paper is this?
01:00It even smells good.
01:01What would Jordan Lee's superhero name be if they had one?
01:05I think we could both answer this.
01:09No, I don't want to. That's all you.
01:11I saw a Reddit thread and they were going, they actually had a couple names under there.
01:16But they said, what if Vought came up with it?
01:18And one of them was Ying and Yang.
01:20Oh, God.
01:21Oh, no.
01:22And then the other one, the other one.
01:24That's cool.
01:25Isn't it? It's a little.
01:26She's such a villain, bro.
01:28That's problematic.
01:29She's such a villain, man.
01:30She's such a Vought plant.
01:32Like, it's crazy.
01:33What was the other one?
01:34The other one was Gemini.
01:35That was another one.
01:36That's great.
01:37That's cool.
01:38Missy.
01:39Missy.
01:40How do you open it?
01:41Oh.
01:42This is actually very nice paper.
01:43I wasn't lying.
01:44100 pounds.
01:45I suspect she stops at skyscraper level.
01:48However, if she grew to be the size of the Empire State Building, she would be able to solo most of the soups we have seen on the show.
01:54Hell yeah.
01:55I want to see how big Emma can get.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Yeah.
01:59Like, we haven't really done that yet.
02:00No?
02:01And I think some damage could be done.
02:02Yeah.
02:03That would be super powerful.
02:04And also, yeah.
02:05Imagine if you sneeze.
02:06Like, if just a sneeze.
02:07I choose.
02:08If you did.
02:09Sorry.
02:10That'd be sick.
02:11Or, like, other things that are probably too weird to say.
02:15It's like you're just in this giant blue box for, like, 12 hours a day.
02:19And, like, you just have to look at a tennis ball the whole time.
02:22And you're just kind of, like, winging it for me.
02:24Like, half the time I'm like, okay, I'm just like a little kid.
02:26Plain pretend.
02:27But it's really cool because even in season two, like, they take seven weeks to build this thing for big Emma.
02:35And I'm like, wow, that's really insane.
02:37Oh my god.
02:39Okay.
02:40Oh.
02:41Here we go.
02:42I feel like I'm on a game show.
02:44Yeah.
02:45Alright.
02:46Based on set picks, Polarity will be featured in more than one episode this season.
02:51What?
02:52If I were to guess, I think he'll end up being sort of a mentor to the students after Andre's death.
02:57Most likely to Marie.
02:59Oh.
03:00Season one was severely lacking in genuine mentor to student relationships.
03:04Ouch.
03:05That's so good.
03:06Is that a critique?
03:07That is a critique.
03:08And this is from Champion Electrical 92.
03:10Yeah.
03:11Champion.
03:12Okay, Champion.
03:13Damn.
03:14Well, yeah.
03:15I will be in more than one as Polarity.
03:18I hope you want to see that.
03:20Polarity ends up being a mentor to actually a couple of different people this season.
03:25Emma, in particular, to start.
03:27And then we start from there.
03:28Season one, there's a scene where all you guys got dressed up to go out to like a nightclub.
03:33And like Chance was with you guys.
03:35And like you guys were like just like the coolest people like in the world.
03:39And like using all your little powers to kind of like, you know.
03:42Preservation under.
03:43We don't have one.
03:46But you don't give a f***, right?
03:49I do not give a f***.
03:51Follow me.
03:52It really just set up who these people were, I thought, in a way that was very compelling.
03:57I also, speaking of Chance, the scene when Andre and Maureen, I think, meet.
04:02I think it's the first time they meet.
04:04And he's like kind of flirting with her and like inviting her out.
04:07Like I just thought Chance was so charming in that scene.
04:11Yeah.
04:12Yeah.
04:13Performance energy.
04:14Go get a paper cut.
04:15Don't say that.
04:16Okay.
04:17To everyone.
04:18Why is everyone at this school so hot?
04:21Stop.
04:23Gotta talk to the admissions office.
04:26That's a question for the dean, right?
04:28The dean picked everybody, right?
04:29Check out the head shots that come with the apps, you know.
04:33It's really important that I have a pretty university.
04:37Not a good school, guys.
04:39Maybe.
04:40That's why I was giggling.
04:41It is for you.
04:42I've got mail.
04:44Okay.
04:45Kate Dunlap is a necessary evil.
04:48She's not a villain.
04:50Kate Dunlap is a fantastically written character.
04:53She's not evil but does evil things.
04:55You can tell she just wants to do the right thing.
04:57I agree with what she's doing in January.
05:00She should have released all the soups from being locked up.
05:02Username deleted.
05:04Smart.
05:06Maddie, did you write that?
05:08I did.
05:09What I will say is I don't know if anybody really believes that they're ever being a villain.
05:17I feel like there are definitely people who exist who enjoy inflicting pain onto others, but I think for most of the time people have different perspectives and their actions reflect those perspectives.
05:29I don't think that people are out here being like, I'm going to be evil today necessarily.
05:34You know?
05:35So that part I guess I kind of agree with.
05:38I agree with what she's doing in January.
05:40Listen, I'm not going to touch on that.
05:42I'm going to put that back here.
05:44Thank you so much for the statement question thing.
05:47Yeah.
05:48There you go.
05:49Bada bing, bada boom.
05:50Yeah.
05:51That's you.
05:54You can get it out loud.
06:00Do you think we will ever see Sam's full potential?
06:03I mean, we all know he was.
06:05I mean, we all know he was compared to me.
06:08We all know that he was compared to Maeve in Gen V season one.
06:12He has potential to become really OP.
06:14To be really what?
06:15What?
06:16OP.
06:17OP.
06:18OP.
06:19Overpowered?
06:20Well, I think Sam's full potential comes from inside.
06:22And it doesn't have to do with how strong he is.
06:25So I hope we do see his full potential.
06:34Thanks, guys.
06:35You hope we see your insides?
06:38Yeah.
06:39Oh, sorry.
06:40Oh, sorry.
06:41Oh, my God.
06:42Oh, my God.
06:43Okay.
06:44Jordan is Jordan.
06:45Feminine or masculine, they're the same person, same mind, but may act different when presenting
06:50either way.
06:51I wish I could be.
06:52Yeah.
06:55Correct.
06:56Yep.
06:57Derek?
06:58Let me read that again.
07:00Jordan is Jordan.
07:01Feminine or masculine.
07:02Feminine or masculine, they're the same person, same mind, but may act different when presenting
07:05either way.
07:06Yeah.
07:07Yeah.
07:08Yeah.
07:09You know what scene I thought they both did so well at was Marie and Jordan's first kiss
07:14because they switch mid-kiss and it's such an emotionally charged and vulnerable moment
07:20and both of them just brought the presence and brought the emotion and it was so seamless
07:25and it was also early days in the switches, too, so it was so technical.
07:28They literally had to match each other's body language perfectly or it wouldn't work and
07:33it was great.
07:34Yeah.
07:35That's cool.
07:36That's one of my favorite moments from the whole first season of the show, honestly.
07:39It was really great.
07:40It's such a cool moment.
07:41Yeah.
07:42One of my favorites that I got to watch because I went and watched London's coverage was,
07:47and then getting to see it edited, was the scene between Sam and female Jordan this season.
07:54It was so good and so sweet and so tender and so funny and they both crushed it.
08:00That was one that stands out for me for sure.
08:03So pretty.
08:04From season one, I really enjoyed watching London and Derek when they're in the dorm
08:11and like, I think it was the first episode and you're having sex.
08:16Love that.
08:17On like some gym equipment.
08:19Yeah.
08:20And then Derek's voice comes out of her mouth.
08:22Uh, just a second.
08:24Who's that?
08:26Oh, it's my parents.
08:27And it was just the coolest thing ever and like, it was a really hot scene and like,
08:32and then Derek opens the door and it just, I just was like, oh, people are going to gag.
08:37Oh, Hamish.
08:38Hamish.
08:39Hamish.
08:40Oh.
08:41I'd show up to the opening of an envelope.
08:42Bakalata.
08:43Jesus Christ.
08:44It's an essay.
08:45Monologue.
08:46Uh, the names of every hero seem to be pretty close to what their powers are with an exception
08:51of Homelander, Stormfront, Lamplighter, Popclaw, The Deep, etc.
08:55I really like the, uh, theory that he can decipher how Supes use their powers and then use them himself.
09:03Since cipher basically means a code, maybe he can use Supes' DNA, a person's genetic code,
09:10and adapt his own based on that code to use whatever powers he has deciphered already.
09:19At BigBoyCDD, you're completely wrong.
09:23Entirely incorrect.
09:25You're way off and, um, the internet has taken away your access to it.
09:31Goodbye.
09:32I'm Cypher.
09:33Your new Dean.
09:34I think it's super fun playing a new character shrouded in mystery.
09:37Because it would be so boring to play an old character that everybody knows everything about.
09:45To everyone, I just binged the whole thing in like two days after finishing season three of The Boys.
09:53Is that really a binge?
09:54Two days?
09:55Gen V is definitely worth it.
09:57I'd agree with some on here to say it's on par with the original show.
10:01And 100% is going to tie into season four of The Boys.
10:05That's nice.
10:06That's really sweet.
10:07Yep.
10:08It is.
10:09100%.
10:10Not really a question.
10:11I don't think it's safe to binge a show like this in two days though, I will say.
10:14Or your favorite system.
10:16No.
10:17Straight up.
10:18Hey guys, I have a question for you.
10:20On like a scale from A to V, how excited are you for fans to see the new season?
10:27V!
10:28A V, absolutely.
10:31Two Vs.
10:32Wait, is A the highest or is V the highest?
10:34V is the highest.
10:35V is the highest.
10:36V is the highest.
10:37V.
10:38V.
10:39You guys are correct.
10:43So no more fan mail?
