The traditional utopian superheroes have special superpowers to punish evil and promote good for human beings;
Or form an alliance to save the world and eliminate one villain after another.
However, the DC family has a bunch of "bad wood heroes" , it seems that they are not really "regular", but the popularity is incredible.
One is a middle-aged greasy racer who cheats and fucks;
A car accident turned him into a robot with only the brain surviving, and all other organs assembled by machinery.
A Hollywood actress who is arrogant and arrogant, commits racial discrimination, and turns into a "disgusting" rubber man.
One is mental illness with 64 personalities;
I was still selling cute in the last second, and in the next second I will swear if I can't tell you, I want to poke your chrysanthemum.
The handsome pilot was the only normal person among them, and he was disfigured as soon as he appeared on the field.
The other is the disabled wheelchair old man who brought this group of people together .
They neither have the clever minds that can easily create high-tech weapons, nor the strength of "banknotes";
Not to mention the background of the Protoss;
And the super abilities necessary for "superheroes" are also "unusual . "
strong?
Mud?
Soul out of the body?
With this ingenious configuration, even DC's screenwriters could not help but "self-defeating".
But such a group of "wild roads", led by the old man in a wheelchair, formed a team and decided to protect the earth.
Oh by the way, they also have a title called—
Doomsday Patrol
Doom Patrol
The character setting of these people is really hard not to remind people of the X-Men next door .
"Doom Patrol" was born in June 1963 , and the next door "X-Men" was born in September of the same year .
But viewers who have seen the original comics or dramas will know;
Except for the similarity of individual characters, the content of the story is quite different.
For old fans, DC and Marvel’s "you are in you and you in me" crashes have long been accustomed to them.
Just come to a picture, you can play Lianliankan.
But at that time, the sales of "Doom Patrol" that came out earlier were not as good as the latter, and it was even stranded.
It wasn't until 2018 that DC broadcasted its first DC Universe (online media on-demand platform) drama "Titan" before the situation changed.
"Doom Patrol" is in the same universe as "Titan" and is a derivative drama of "Titan" .
DC's ambition to remake the "Doom Patrol" was actually revealed in "Titan";
In the fourth episode, the mecha man, the film man, the elastic woman, the chief and others will appear in sequence to warm up.
He did not hesitate to take out the " steel bone " of one of the seven veterans of "Justice League" to join this new team.
The first season of "Doom Patrol" started in 2019, and the IMDB score has remained at 8.0 to this day .
Well-made, with the texture of a movie.
The content is weird, and one episode is more exciting.
The team consists of Mecha Man (Brandon Fisher), Stretch Girl (Aipel Baobai), Film Man (Matt Bomer), Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero), Steel bone (Qiaowa En Wade ornaments), as well as chief Dr. Niles Calder composition.
The villain in the play is DC's famous villain-" Mr . Nameless " Eric Modern (Alan Tudyk) .
He was subjected to human experiments by the former Nazis after World War II, and his body became a shadow;
And has the ability to absorb the minds of others, step by step into madness.
The villain took the chief as soon as he appeared, and took the entire town to another world.
The remaining four people, under the leadership of Steel Bone, embarked on an adventure to find the chief.
It's just that this road is too long.
Because this mission was not in the laboratory's plan, the financial support of Steel Frame was suspended by his father.
He had to take other people to drive a bus by himself, looking for the chief.
The content of the first two episodes of the first season basically explained the "past and present" of the members of the group, and the full description of their mental journey.
After the remake, the "Doomsday Patrol" has followed DC's usual dark style;
It is still digging deep into humanity under the appearance of pornography, violence, and nonsensical .
The meaning behind the setting of waste wood heroes
As we all know, DC likes to dig out those marginal characters.
Unlike the glorious images of mainstream heroes , these fringe heroes do not seem to be so "eye-catching."
There is no cool dress, and many viewers have complained about " low match super British" and "steel bone fight Xixi" ;
"Cheating Yuan donkey" is a fart when it comes on stage;
Without a firm belief, embarking on the road to save the earth is a mistake, not the original intention.
Even some characters are set to be villains than villains!
However, the human resonance that can be felt from them is also rare in other super English teams.
Before becoming superheroes, they were ordinary humans just like you and me.
Brandon Fisher, the man who once became famous all over the world with the "Mummy" trilogy .
The mech he played in the play was a hot racer before the accident.
A successful career, a wife and children, and a happy life.
He cheated on the young and beautiful nanny at home, and thought he could control everything and despised marriage.
But in fact, the wife already knew that in the end the Mecha was retaliated against.
Because of negligence, he was involved in a car accident, his wife died and his daughter disappeared.
And only his brain survived all over his body, and was finally rescued by the leader and fell into a coma for more than ten years.
After waking up, he became a whole body mechanical, no sense of smell, no food or drink, no emotions.
Crazy Jane was raped by her father to split her personality;
Then was given a part of personality superpowers by the gene bomb.
In the age when homosexuality is not accepted;
Colonel , an excellent and happy pilot (filmmaker) , fell in love with his colleague.
Secular on one side, love on the other.
He kept pulling in his heart, unable to choose, he didn't want to hurt anyone.
From being glorious and attracting attention to being abandoned by the world.
Their lives are like the gloomy pictures of this show;
Lifeless, without a trace of life.
They just spend their lives silently over time;
Thinking of the huge contrast between the past and the present, I only feel dark and negative.
For this group of lonely, confused, vulnerable and sensitive people, joining the "doomsday patrol" is more like a kind of salvation.
They each have different abilities;
Although they are not known by the world, they still shoulder the important task of saving the world.
Even though they continue to spit out yellow waste all day long and use foul language as a mantra, they will continue to complain even if the world is about to die.
But in fact, they are just a group of "unusual" people;
A group of people who are unwilling to fend for themselves and still yearn for the outside world and the world's admiration for themselves.
Perhaps this is the reason why they chose to become "bad wood heroes ."
The second season has returned on June 25!
The freshness of rotten tomatoes in the second season is 100% !
The second season was produced by the newly launched and trending HBOmax under Warner Group , and the original team returned.
What will be different this time?
At the beginning of the second season, the story of the first season of "Heroes of Waste Wood" is still saving the world.
After defeating the villain "Mr. Unknown";
The members of the Doomsday Patrol were trapped in small toy cars, and their bodies shrank.
At the same time, the members also discovered the "secret" hidden by the chief .
In this season, the chief's daughter Dorothy, who has been looking for for many years, finally appeared, played by actor Abigail Shapiro .
According to the comics, Dorothy has the ability to manifest ideas into reality.
But for this ability, Dorothy can't control it at will;
Her emotions began to get out of control.
At this moment, a mysterious voice appeared in her ear, leading Dorothy to fall into the darkness step by step.
This mysterious voice is the villain lurking in Dorothy's consciousness- the candle maker.
In addition to him, the roles that appeared in the second season include Red Jack, Doctor Tyme and The SeX-Men .
