Marvel: Hit-Monkey

When I decided to watch this show, I expected to watch a monkey kill some bad guys. And that's more or less what I got. Monkey does kill a lot of bad guys in well-animated and bloody fights. What I didn't expect was a show with surprisingly good emotional beats, well written characters, and an engaging plot. It's obviously no Shawshank, but if you're looking for a well-made, entertaining watch, you could do a lot worse.

The monkey is likable, the action is especially crazy (leveraging the monkey's acrobatics), and Jason Sudeikis provides some really funny lines throughout! :-) Lots of wild graphic action, irreverent comedy, and a bunch of heart! :-)

I saw the trailer and was like, oh cool, a funny show about a monkey assassin, this should be a good laugh. Finished the season after crying about 5 times. Jesus Christ, the feels, take your 10 stars.

While Jason Sudeikis is a very loud and talkative, it's still so much fun. The action, writing, and characters are all great. I really want to see more and I hope there'll be a season 2 and 3. I feel the animation could use a bigger budget, but everything is great.

Love everything about this show except one and only thing. The animation style is a little rough for me. But other than that this show is amazing, perfect balance of humor, sadness, and serious undertones along with some bad ass action sequences. I first read about hit monkey in the Daniel Way run of Deadpool where he had a pretty short but funny arc with a contract for Deadpool himself. I wish I had followed up on the character with the comic series they decided to make debuting him. But this show is a pretty compelling telling of the hit monkey tale. Not sure how cannon it is to the comics and 10 episodes is just not enough, but it's all around fun. Episode 1 had me hooked for sure. I would compare it to the likes of archer, actually I feel it was influenced by that show which I also enjoy. Only perhaps with the humor toned down just a tad. All in all highly recommend but definitely leave the kiddos out of this one!
