SW in Gen V
-
@BryTheGuy Well, first of all, we have no reason to believe that the tiny woman in the trailer will be a recurring character. We’ll have to keep an eye on the characters’ names when they are released (although the credits may just give their civilian identities).
As much as we all might like it, I would be surprised if they just did a female version of Termite: a supe who can shrink at will. There has to be something new and different, or it would seem repetitive. She could be permanently tiny, but that would make all of her appearances rather expensive (and therefore probably infrequent).
If I knew nothing about the universe of The Boys, I’d guess that the tiny girl is a victim of someone with the power to shrink others. That doesn’t seem to be the kind of power that Compound V has produced so far, but who knows. If such a shrinker were a recurring character, I’d expect to see more tiny people in the trailer. I therefore think any such shrinker would be a short-term (heh) villain and not a major character.
Setting the trailer aside, I’d like to see a female supe who can shrink, but she has to stay shrunken for a minimum period of time. Even more fun: anyone she is touching when she is using this power also shrinks with her.

So, I was checking Wikipedia to see if the release dates for certain TV series had been updated, and I spotted the following on the page for Gen V:
- Lizze Broadway as Emma Meyer, a YouTuber that can shrink to 5 inches.
Vexingly, I couldn’t find any citation for an external source that would confirm the shrinking aspect of this character. Ms. Broadway’s pinned tweet features a still from the series trailer depicting a blood-drenched Emma looking up. Note that in the brief shot from the trailer at the top of this thread depicts a shrunken woman much smaller than 5 inches.
Further bulletins as events warrant.

I would not put much stake in what the Wikipedia article says about the characters. I’ve seen it change from “shrinks to 5 inches” to “shrinks to 0.5 inches”, and presently it says “half-inch tall, with the power to grow to human size”.

Welp, guess it was good timing to bring this topic back up, because the new trailer just released.
Brief sfw scene with the little girl (I think she’s the main girls roommate?)

@BryTheGuy Looks really good–I needed something to be hyped about!
On a non-sizey note, I’m gratified by the homage to Real Genius with the sled and the iced-over hallway.

Gen V Official Redband Trailer just dropped.
SW at 0:07, 1:18, 1:37, and 1:52.
It’s implied that Ashley is the one who drops the dixie cup on our tiny girl (who also seems to perform a grisly cranial autopsy).
I’ll try to get a GIF up later (having trouble downloading the MP4).

Looks like she also has a boyfriend. Hmmmm… opportunities…

Btw, looks like the first three episodes release on Sept 29th, then they’re going to release one episode every Friday weekly, until the final 8th episode on Nov 3rd.

Noting that I’m quoting an old post and that is still early days: I’m appreciating that she does seem to be, in fact, a recurring character - potentially, an important one too! I imagine that shrinking/shrunken scenes will be pretty limited, but it would be nice to have a character who isn’t just showcased as a novelty (i.e. Termite), and who may actually contribute to the plot in some way, whether in their shrunken size or not.
In saying that, it is The Boys so anything could happen. And probably rather gruesomely.

@miss-lillipants You’re absolutely correct that my initial suspicions have been overtaken by events, happily so!
-
The bright side is they have confirmed she’s a lead but yeah, in the Boysverse, that’s not much.
Let’s hope she makes it out ok.

Has there been any footage of her growing or shrinking, or at human size? Because I’m starting to wonder if she isn’t permanently tiny! (I also worry for her safety!)
