The genius writing of The Boys’ universe has been highlighted by the replacement of Billy Butcher in the show’s college-based spin-off, Gen V.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary The Boys' spin-off, Gen V, has proved the genius writing of the franchise through the latter's replacement of the former's Billy Butcher. Upon the announcement of Gen V, many wondered if a spin-off of The Boys would work.

Indira Shetty Is Like The Boys' Butcher - Except She's A Villain Firstly, concerning Gen V's Billy Butcher replacement, episode 7 made it clear this archetype fell to Indira Shetty. For much of Gen V's first six episodes, Indira Shetty was positioned as the show's primary antagonist; a villainous dean who is experimenting on innocent teenagers in deplorable ways to construct a virus capable of killing Supes.

By the end of Gen V episode 7, Shetty is changed from this one-note villain to a sympathetic if morally incorrect victim meaning her death does not feel like the right thing. This is a very similar way in which Butcher is presented. Both characters' rage and pain inflicted by Supes have driven them to do horrible things, yet both are understandable in their motivations.

The series begins with these four humans taking the fight to corrupted Supes, subliminally telling the audience that Supes are the bad guys which Gen V is now subtly turning on its head. Throughout The Boys, only Starlight, Kimiko, and arguably Maeve have been shown as "good" Supes, with even the latter two committing morally questionable acts at times.
