At TopMob, we’re big fans of unexpected musical numbers in TV shows and movies that aren’t usually musicals. These moments often work really well, adding a fun and surprising burst of song and dance. A great example is when Kimiko, a character on The Boys who hadn’t spoken until the end of season four, finally expressed herself through a full song and dance performance of “I Got Rhythm.” It was a refreshing change of pace in a show known for its violence, dark humor, and generally grim tone. Recently, The Boys spin-off Gen V also tried a musical scene in its season two finale, but it turned out to be unsettling and featured some gruesome imagery.
Thomas Godolkin, mysteriously back from the dead, attracts super-powered students with the promise of a chance to become the top student at God U and potentially join The Seven. Even after Marie warns everyone not to trust him – considering he was believed to be dead for decades – some hopeful students attend his “seminar.” Godolkin then uses his powers to control their minds and bodies, forcing them to fight each other brutally. The resulting scene is horrifying, with injured and groaning students scattered everywhere – a sight that even the hardened Sage finds disturbing.
She desperately tries to dissuade him from this unsettling scene, but he’s determined to proceed, insisting they need music. He begins conducting the students as if they’re an orchestra, directing their movements into a dance. The effect is eerily reminiscent of The Walking Dead, though these dancers are thankfully still alive. The song he chooses – Ella Fitzgerald’s rendition of Judy Garland’s “Get Happy” – is a brilliantly ironic addition to this bizarre but surprisingly effective musical moment in the Gen V finale. The students’ choreography even mirrors the energetic dance from a 1950 video of Garland performing the same song in Summer Stock.
We weren’t expecting this, but honestly, we’re relieved it happened. It revealed just how disturbed Godolkin was… or, rather, was. Thankfully, he’s no longer with us.
