Yeah, I am really looking forward to it. This was my favorite superhero comic to come out in a long time.

I love how the voice cast is like a reunion of The Walking Dead.

Story is fine and good voice cast; but, that animation is nothing to write home about. Have to hope the story can outweigh that.

Like the comic the violence is a bit too much for my taste. But overall it has been entertaining.

Caught the first three episodes this past week. Pretty entertaining, although I feel like my enjoyment is slightly muted because I've read the comic series, so some of the twists and gags are not as entertaining as they were when I first read them.
I thought they made some interesting choices in updating the characters. They made Amber black to reflect the ethnicity of the voice actress (Zazie Beetz). And I'm guessing that we are to understand that Mark Grayson is of partly Korean descent, as Steven Yeun is the voice actor and the mother is played by Sandra Oh. It didn't register with me at first, because the Grayson family in the comics all have dark hair, and the adjustments made to make Mark and his mom look Asian are subtle.
I also noticed that Eve's costume was modified from the comics. To be honest, that didn't register w/me either until because it seemed pretty faithful to the comics. In one episode one of the villains makes a remark that her outfit panders to gender stereotypes, and then I remembered that she had a slightly skimpier costume in the comics.
Anyway, interesting choices in adapting the source material. I hope that, as with The Walking Dead, they remix things enough with the show to give people who have read the comics something new to enjoy.

I love the series. I've read the comics, but the adaptation is so faithful but with minor tweaks and updates and it it is like comfort food to me. I know close adaptations can be hit or miss because it's so easy to compare to the source material, but I think they've done a great job so far.

Well, wow. I watched the season finale. {Spoiler: Click to show}It's stayed pretty faithful to the comics so far, but man, I think the show version of this scene was even more intense. Such brutality, but then, that is literally the point.
It's supposed to be uncomfortable watching an analogue for Superman show casual contempt for human life and grotesque violence, and man, did they succeed.
I thought they did a good job showing how Omni-Man couldn't follow through with his Viltrumite orders when it came down to his duty versus his son. Despite his insistence to the otherwise, he has changed.
Very powerful stuff. I also saw the show was renewed for seasons 2 and 3, so yay! More coming. |
