Gen V season 1 premiere: Is Professor Brink dead?
Well, here is how Clancy Brown’s character was set up. He was introduced as one of the most renowned members of the faculty at Godolkin University, someone who taught crimefighting to some of the most decorated members of The Seven. He is someone Marie Moreau was desperate to learn from at any cost. Unfortunately, he was also someone who didn’t make it out of the first episode alive after he was killed by Golden Boy.
Is there any chance that Brink is still alive? Well, did you see how he was killed?! It is hard to imagine there being any way that he is magically brought back, but there is a certain irony to the spin-off for The Boys killing off its most well-known star in the very first episode. It does make it clear that times are changing rapidly at Godolkin and odds are, Brink’s death is going to be tied in to some other big stuff happening over the rest of the season.
Just also remember this: Brink is not even the only character on the show to be killed off in the premiere. We also lost Golden Boy! While seeing Brown exit so soon may be tougher when you think about star power, Luke had been established as one of the more important characters within the Gen V world. We don’t think that it was all that crazy at all to think that this character could be sticking around at least for a certain percentage of the season.
