Huge Subtle Detail You Missed in Gen V That Reveals Neuman's True Face

Summary:

• Gen V features a scene in episode 7 that mirrors one from The Boys.
• Victoria Neuman repeats a line to Marie Moreau that Stan Edgar once said to her..
• Both Neuman and Moreau share similar abilities and orphan backgrounds at Red River;.
• Marie Moreau was subtly referenced in The Boys’ season 3.

In Gen V, the spinoff of The Boys, there are many obvious connections to the original series. But there are more subtle ones. There is one scene in episode 7 that perfectly mirrors a similar scene from The Boys, and foreshadows Victoria Neuman’s true intentions.

Victoria Neuman Used the Same Manipulation Stan Edgar Once Used on Her

In episode 7, there is a scene where Victoria Neuman drops a line to Marie, saying: "You are a very rare and exceptional girl." Here's where it gets interesting.

This line isn't just some random compliment. It's actually a throwback to The Boys season 3, episode 2. In this episode, it is revealed that way back when Victoria Neuman was just a kid and got adopted by Stan Edgar, he said the exact same thing to her.

This tiny echo of words is more than just a repeat. It kind of gives you this eerie feeling of history repeating itself, or maybe it's a hint at how Neuman has been influenced by her past.

What Do Marie Moreau and Victoria Neuman Actually Have in Common?

A major revelation in Gen V is Neuman's haemokinetic abilities, which she shares with Marie Moreau. Plus, both of them were orphans at Red River, a facility for supes abandoned by their families. This connection potentially sets up a complex dynamic between the two.

On the other hand, given that Neuman repeated the same line Edgar said to her, she is obviously intending to use Marie as an ally or a puppet just like Edgar did with Victoria. The biggest question is: will Marie fall into Neuman’s manipulations? Only time will tell.

Marie Moreau Was Already Referenced in the Same Episode of The Boys

We find out about Edgar’s adoption of Neuman thanks to Hughie and Starlight's sneaky mission to the Red River Institute. In the same episode, you can spot a blink-and-you-miss-it reference to Marie Moreau. There is a glimpse of Marie's profile among other orphans.

Both The Boys and Gen V will return with new seasons, but the premiere dates are yet to be scheduled.
