Super Crooks

Netflix has found its Invincible or The Boys. Targeted for mature audience like me who found Arcane very predictable and too slow.

The animation is uneven and not groundbreaking like Arcane is, but they didn't hold back on the action and the ending is conclusive (unlike Arcane, which I deduct one point just for THAT ending alone)and true to the comic (I'm assuming this is just a one-season show?).

The second half of the show (episode 7 onwards) is a bit messy but it's still a good time. Binged all 13 episodes in one sitting but I got up from my seat and danced to the intro song for every episode lol.

Too bad Jupiter's Legacy is cancelled, will there be more coming from the universe or this is it?

First few episodes, it was a show you'd put on in the background while your phone. By the end, I truly felt I had watched a good program, with a good plot.

The over saturated superhero field found a place for SuperCrooks. Unique, interesting, good character evolution with a nice twist. This show shouldn't go unwatched by avid anime fans. Some reminiscent of The Boys in it, either way, I enjoyed it, watched in one sitting.

Given the fact that the superhero genre is starting to go stale and with shows like Invincible and The Boys utilising the narrative perspective of the line between heroes and villains being blurred. I'm pleasantly surprised by how refreshing this show is. The elements of the characters gives you a wholesome suicide squad vibe. The animation is beautiful and the influence of western and eastern together is reminiscent of Shinichiro Watanabe to (creator of Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop and Space Dandy) combined with the funky music just gives off such a cool vibe. I'm glad that they stuck to the more adult themes as it separates it from anything Marvel or DC in regards to animation.

Also I literally can't stop listening to the opening credits song it's that funky and amazing.

It was a better subject to make a live-action film instead of an animation. It's a story for adults, but it's not serious enough.

I felt that the subject matter of Mark Millar's draft was very good and was a waste. The opening song was good though.

I really liked the first episode, at this point, I thought we would follow this young boy how he get more and more criminal as he found out, that being a villain is much more profitable etc. Something like Invincible, but other direction

What I got was this one episode, suddenly after that he is an adult whose most remarkable feature isn't his powers, but spouting dumb stuff and doing this whistle everytime something seems cool. He does dumb stuff all the time and behaves like an asshat, even to his girlfriend he "loves so much, and he will change", and not just once! This Protagonist made me really mad at this point a bit after half the season was over. That was where I watched because I hoped it would get better, but the ending could be seen from miles away (even though I am nearsighted).

Wanted to give it 6 Stars, but while writing I had to go down to 5.
