Listen...I wanted to give this 8 but in all honesty it's really between 6.5 and 7. Coogler's sumptuous southern vampire tale gives that Neil Jordan vibe set in Jim Crow Southern Mississippi but it doesn't bring anything new to the vampire genre which I was hoping for a melaninated perspective of vampirism from the director of Black Panther but it's just a retread. Luv the ACCURATE representation of the Delta with Native Americans, Delta Chinese and Creole, the music excellent, cinematography stunning Southern Gothic style but we gotta be honest......this is just Dusk till Dawn with black people in Jim Crow South. I don't gotta problem with that, I just wish he would have reworked the concept just a little further because it was giving Virginia Hamilton Toni Morrison vampire energy which is what I wanted but it still was just as fun as Rodriguez's movie.
The headline says it all --- the themes of this show are long overdue in its portrayal of the S. Korean HS life. Its the best show I've seen all year. Based on a Webtoon comic, Weak Hero is a unique take on the coming of age fighter tale as Yeon Si Eun uses his intellect and unbridled rage to fight and defend those who feel weak under the rules of society thus fall victim. Never has it been a clearer example of hurt people create more hurt people than in this incredible adaptation. Definitely a must watch for fans of South Korean Webtoon manhwas like Study Group, To Not Die and Viral Hit just to name a few.
I've been avoiding watching this series since I am a stan of Alan Moore's beloved comic but after binge watching this I have to say I was surprised. HBO's Watchmen is a very good series but it is not Watchmen, what I went in expecting was anything related to Moore's comic and what I got was an interesting fantastical deconstruction of American history, law enforcement and policing as well as systemic racism. I think HBO was trying to thread the needle between officers and heroes/ race and politics but this wasn't the material to do that with. Watchmen is a deconstruction of the superhero myth that we see from Marvel and DC, not a commentary on police which this was. It was interesting but its not Watchmen.
