Compared with "Invincible," "Boys", "Superman and Louise", which also discussed the father-son relationship, the superhero version of the family drama "The Legend of Jupiter" is also full of sincerity, but more ambitious: The story is big, the plot is eBay, the story line is well-driven and engaging. . . . . Hahaha, the rhythm of the second season is about to start ╮(￣▽￣"")╭
The eight episodes of the first season mainly focus on telling the origin story of the hero, building the overall structure of the series, and laying the foundation for the follow-up; at the same time, the roles played by Mark Millar ("Wanted," "Kick-Ass") and Frank Quitely are also An interesting adaptation of the original manga. The series is based on the work of Steven S. DeKnight (the kingpin of the Starz "Spartacus" shows), and its producer was changed to Sang Kyu Kim during filming. The story line in episodes 3 and 4 is slightly uncertain and has continuity issues. . . . The rigorous story of the original has successfully pulled the story back (this guy is the great god who wrote Spider-Man, Civil War, and Fantastic Four).
The director tells the origin story of the hero family through flashbacks through a lot of episode time: Utopian, Lady Liberty and the super team called The Union. The superhero family originated from the era of the great stock market crash in the United States in 1929. The parents did not kill or dictatorship. . . After 90 years, the values of the second generation are very different from the first generation of heroes o(︶︿︶)o It is the troublesome rhythm of growing up
It takes some time to warm up to Jupiter's Legacy , however, with few episodes, the characters and plots becomes a lot more interesting, making it well worth the watch. The interesting thing about the series is that it's not about mutants or aliens that have landed on Earth. It's about a group of ordinary people, a family including Sheldon Samson (Josh Duhamel), his brother Walter (Ben Daniels), his wife Grace (Leslie Bibb), and his children Chloe (Elena Kampouris) and Brandon (Andrew Horton). who were merely looking for something and ending up finding their destinies changed forever.
Sheldon, is married to Grace (Leslie Bibb - The Babysitter: Killer Queen). Grace starts appearance in 1929 and a powerful superhero in the present day. Sheldon's brother, Walter (The Exorcist series). Sheldon and Grace also produced the next generation of superheroes with the son Brandon (Andrew Horton) and daughter Chloe (Elena Kampouris). Both have amazing powers and while Brandon wants to continue in the footsteps of his parents, Chloe wants nothing to do with it.
Another offspring from the band of original superheroes is Raikou (Anna Akana). She is a very impressive character, though. Obviously, there are many other characters and actors involved with this series, so I recommend you check it out and look up familiar faces as they appear.
At the end of the day, Jupiter's Legacy is a series deserving of your time. While an entire season may seem like a lot, after the first few episodes, it truly gains momentum and will surely lead to viewers rooting for certain characters, finding their favorites and wanting more. The best way to describe it is a mix of The Boys and Succession . For fans of either of those series, this one might be for them.
