Charlie discusses the new Boys Season 5 promo, which acts as a crossover with Gen V Season 2. The promo centers around Sage's 'Phase Two' plan, revealed at the end of The Boys Season 4, involving Homelander and Thomas Cadolcan, aiming to turn America into an empire, akin to Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
Sage is announced as the new CEO of Vought, replacing Ashley, and is depicted as the true power behind the company, enacting her 'Phase Two' master plan. This plan has layers, with a secret part involving Thomas Cadolcan, and Homelander is being used as a chess piece to achieve her ultimate goals.
The promo includes montages of past events and subtle references. Notable elements include nods to The Seven movie, Voughtland, Madeline Stilwell, and Ashley Barrett's current condition, which is speculated to involve a mutation related to Compound V, potentially giving her similar powers to Sage's, albeit in a 'gross' way.
Sage's powers are likened to the Leader from Marvel comics and Doctor Strange, allowing her to see all probable outcomes, ensuring the success of her plans. The 'Phase Two' title itself is a comedic jab at Marvel's cinematic phases. Sage's true objective with her elaborate plan is to restore Thomas Godolkin's body.
Sage unveils new initiatives, such as defense contracts, stating that Vought is the 'fabric that holds democracy together,' which is a deceptive statement as her plan involves replacing the government and establishing an empire, with Homelander playing the role of Emperor Palpatine.
The promo references the upcoming spin-off 'Vought Rising,' starring Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy, which will explore Vought's early history in the 1950s. This spin-off will also feature a younger Thomas Godolkin and Stormfront in her 'Liberty' persona, furthering the overarching narrative of Vought's control and the world of supes.
The video discusses the 'Make America Super Again' slogan, hinting at a future where humans become a secondary class, and explores the strained relationship between Sage and Thomas Godolkin. It also highlights further crossovers between The Boys Season 5 and Gen V Season 2, including the return of Stan Edgar, who is now working against Vought.
The video concludes by mentioning the upcoming New York Comic Con, promising many new trailers and videos. The creator also promotes their upcoming Gen V Season 2 Episode 6 video and other related content.
