Michele Fazekas, co-showrunner of Gen V, discussed the fifth episode’s gruesome action sequence starring puppets.In the episode “Welcome to the Monster Club,” fugitive supe Sam Riordan (Asa Germann) is found by a Vought security after his escape from Godolkin University’s secret laboratory. Suffering from schizophrenia, Sam imagines himself and his attackers as puppets as he uses his super-strength to viscerally kill them. “It comes out of story and character,” Fazekas said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “We wanted to show the stress on Sam and grappling with a mental illness story, so you have to have the underpinnings of real drama and real stakes to build the outrageous off of it.”Fazekas continued, “I think people were a little nervous about, is this going to look good? Is this going to be stupid? We’re not going to shoot it like muppets. We’re going to shoot it and cut it like an actual fight sequence. The only difference is it’s puppets, but then having the sparkles and silly string instead of blood. That was one of the more amazing things that any of us have been involved with.” The show ended up hiring professional puppeteers and constructing a version of the set to get the sequence right.RELATED: Gen V Episode 5 Reveals What Caused Marie and Everyone Else to Blackout
