This show is just The Boys but worse, and animated badly. And the main character wants to be a cop.

In episode three there's a guy who wants to destroy Mount Rushmore and talks about how the presidents were slaveowners, but he's the bad guy and an evil doctor.

The show loves gratuitous violence and bloodshed like being an animation with blood makes it cool, but this has been trash so far.

Give me Castlevania any day over some shit like this, and why oh god are the episodes an hour long to do nothing with that time?

    Exactly. It's like someone at Amazon saw the success of The Boys and saw this comic basically similar in tone and violence then figured it would be perfect to make.

    At least The Boys is critical of the cops/MIC the series is about. In this series it's supportive of the cops/MIC/America World Police shit, and it's already obvious that the end is going to be "There's nothing wrong with that system, just Omni Man is a bad apple. The good cops will save us."

    It's so needlessly edgy. Every fight is filled with blood for no reason, certainly not for impact.

      And they just keep coming. On a lark, I watched an episode of Jupiter's Legacy and the superhero leader goes on about a nebulous code and how it's bad to try to actively change things in systemic ways.

      I doubt it's going to become nuanced later on and dropped it entirely.

      Like, if 'villains' are disrupting the status quo and you're maintaining a status quo steeped in oppression, you're not much of a hero at all.

        The code thing does remain an issue the entire show.

        spoiler

        ___ in the final episode there is a "twist" where one of the good guys decides the code isn't working so he should take over to force the world to be better, he then needless kills some one so you know he's the bad guy.

          Okay, they go the Marvel route of ruining nuance and theme.

          Thanks for saving me the time.

        I watched an episode of Jupiter’s Legacy

        God that show looks terrible, I saw the trailer for it

        It looks like something that should be on the CW.

          I found the part of the story that takes place in the '30s pretty interesting but yeah the modern part is just a CW show with swearing.
