I guess we are supposed to care about the characters, otherwise this could have been an episode of The Boys. Even though The Boys has decended into a boring mess, it is at least coherent and full of action.

Gen V got perpetually more and more ridiculous, I waited for something significant to happen, but it was just one generic drama after another, all in an attempt to place an ethical dilema at the feet of the audience, but the characters were so incredibaly unlikeable and carboard that that decision, at least for me, was easy.

The episodes were filled with cliches and shoehorning modern social tropes in such an unnatural and forced way. The original X-men animated series is a good example of the way mutants didn't fit into society, despite their powers, Gen V just takes the same tired crap and regurgitates it as a turd that made no sense. There was no ryhme or reason for the existence of any one character that we're supposed to care about, except for it to relate to some esoteric minority that idetifies as insufferably unique.

When will the writers get this doesn't work, its not like the past isn't littered with movies and series that were rejected and lost money because they forced their agenda on the audience. Its painful and tedious.
