The Boys Prequel, Vought Rising: Godolkin University is Getting an Origin Story
Buckle up, fans, because we're about to get some serious backstory for Godolkin University, the school for Supes (and maybe monsters?) that we all learned about in "Gen V". "The Boys" are really doubling down on this whole expanding universe with a new series that dives into the early years of the whole "supes" world: "Vought Rising." Imagine Stormfront and Soldier Boy (two pretty notorious heroes with lots of baggage), way back in the 1950s - and they're on the hunt for some pretty disturbing answers. Now that sounds like a recipe for crazy twists and dark secrets!
We're looking at an interesting timeline too, since we already know Vought started hawking superpowered heroes right after World War 2, and that places Vought Rising during an important turning point - that whole 1950s shift into the modern age! Now imagine this, it could easily open up a storyline that leads us to the founding of Godolkin University. This might be a chance to answer a lot of the burning questions about what's been going on at this super-secret school all this time.
A Whole New Take On Vought: "Vought Rising"
"Vought Rising" will probably reveal how Vought started its crazy domination over everything, so if we are talking early Vought, then, for sure, Frederick Vought himself should show up – the guy's the company’s namesake! And hey, while we are talking early Vought, then there's gotta be a spot for Godolkin, right? That dude’s got a real complicated connection to Vought, seeing as he opened the doors of Godolkin University back in 1965.
We’ll learn how he met up with Frederick and together they created this institution that teaches superpowers, except there’s more to this place than meets the eye. It's more of a breeding ground for experimental mayhem! This is a big deal because, in the grand scheme of things, we're diving deeper into some shady secrets!
"Gen V": Mysteries Unveiled?
Now that we're all pretty familiar with Godolkin's story from "Gen V" Season 1 - who wouldn't want to know more? That place's got layers - with secret labs, dark experiments, and a few mind-boggling questions hanging in the air. You know the story – The Woods is the ultimate hidden world beneath Godolkin - where they experiment with ways to control these superpowers. This crazy plotline makes viewers want to ask - how did all of that actually start?
“Vought Rising” can go full retro - if those 1950s plans were in play when they created Godolkin, it's totally possible those sinister, control-freak experiments were going on at the school from the get-go! The show could be full of those jaw-dropping twists, secrets revealed in flashbacks, and mind-bending mysteries, which could be like a Prequel version of the craziness that unfolded in “Gen V” season 1!.
"Gen V" and “Vought Rising”: An Enigmatic Relationship
It's all pretty exciting! What is especially fascinating about this connection is how “Vought Rising” can go in different directions, exploring both how those Godolkin University labs started and how the "The Woods" turned into that demonic, secret laboratory we all learned about. We might even see hints of the darker secrets and the "powers" that show up in "Gen V." Imagine a whole timeline where “The Boys" and those dark experiments connected together! It's a crazy but thrilling concept.
This kind of complex storytelling, where they link different events together with a lot of mystery – is why “The Boys” have been able to get those devoted viewers. The whole world of those twisted heroes and the dark powers at play will surely become even more awesome as the “Vought Rising” story unfolds, just imagine how these stories might merge and morph with one another!
"The Boys": Where Does it All Go?
The universe for "The Boys" has already grown. Imagine this: a new season of “The Boys” plus “Gen V”, and now this new “Vought Rising” spinoff all swirling in one big story. We know this new show will take us right into the "Supes" and the messed up power play between the good, the bad, and the totally ridiculous - so buckle up!
While it may seem as if this new story will get lost in all the other craziness, I am certain "Vought Rising" has its own special charm to it - especially those 1950s vibes, those wild retro scenes, and how we get to see those familiar heroes and villains in their younger years! Plus, we're just learning about the true depths of what Vought’s capable of and what secrets these Supes were hiding all those years!
