Huge Reason This Gen V Character Is Already the Ultimate Fan-Favorite
Is Little Cricket going to become Huge Cricket?
The long-awaited Gen V spinoff of The Boys has finally dropped to keep us entertained while we patiently wait for season 4 of the original series. The cool thing is, it really fits into the same universe while bringing its own unique story to the table.
With three episodes already out, it looks like fans are already picking their favorites, and one of them is none other than Emma Meyer, aka Little Cricket. Emma is one of the main characters in Gen V. She's a student at Godolkin University and has become quite chummy with her freshman roommate, the protagonist of the spinoff, Marie Moreau.
Shortly after her birth, her parents decided to take up Vought's offer and had her injected with Compound V. This turned her into a Supe, giving her superhuman powers.
Her standout ability is size reduction. Yes, Emma can shrink, but the specifics of how this power works are not really satisfying. To shrink, Emma has to puke.
Nevertheless, fans have been sharing their opinions about the released three episodes on Reddit, and Emma is definitely a standout. Viewers are theorizing and discussing the intricacies of Emma's powers.
Not only does Emma really make us empathize with her by being an absolute sweetheart, but she has also managed to intrigue us with her superpowers.
Some fans speculate that her size might be directly related to her diet. One user points out that Emma's mom keeps a close eye on her food intake, even suggesting that she adds 50 calories to maintain her height. This has led to the theory that Emma might actually grow in size if she consumes more food than usual.
Another interesting observation from the audience is Emma's physique. There is an opinion that she might actually want to be bigger and stronger. This has led to some fans hoping to see a giant version of Emma in the future.
Yes, if Emma does appear larger in the next episode, that’ll be a really big reason to like this character even more. Just remember Captain America: Civil War, when Ant-Man became gigantic. That was epic, so Gen V can treat us the same way but with a bit of dark humor.
