In the past two years, there has been a sudden change in the American drama circle, and they have adapted superhero comics into live-action dramas.
Such as Titans, Daredevil, The Swarm, Gotham, Watchmen .
But surprisingly,
These live-action manga dramas not only satisfied fans, but also became popular in ratings.
If you want to ask, are there any more good-looking comics to recommend?
That must be there.
Syfy TV station took advantage of this manga change east wind, and launched its own manga change live-action drama——
"Killer Class"
"The Killer Class" is adapted from the comic "Deadly Class" and is produced by the Russo brothers , the directors of "Avengers 3" .
Once broadcast, it received a high score of 8.3 on IMDb .
The background of the story is set in San Francisco in the 1980s. Due to the disparity between the rich and the poor, the society is in chaos.
And the male protagonist Marcus is one of the rubbish.
At the beginning of the story, the situation of the male protagonist is simply terrible.
Bullied by classmates, homeless, accused of murder for no reason, wanted by the police,
It was so miserable that I could only pick up leftovers in the trash to eat.
Just as Marcus was waiting to be arrested by the police, it seemed as if some angel had heard his prayer.
A handsome and cool lady in a tight leather jacket riding a motorcycle suddenly appeared in front of him.
Sister Yu killed a large group of policemen and rescued Marcus.
When Marcus wakes up again,
Like Eggsy, the protagonist in Kingsman , he suddenly entered a whole new magical world.
Harry shows Eggsy the agent's arsenal
He finds himself in a secret academy called King 's Land,
Interestingly, this academy does not teach anything,
Only teach students how to kill gracefully and effectively .
There is an academy filled with people just like you that allows you to master the deadly art.
After some inner struggle, the desperate Marcus decided to stay.

The academy in the King's Domain is not only mysterious, but also the teaching materials are very cool.
On the first day of school, what Marcus was facing was not the "New Student Guide" and "XX Basic Courses".
It's books like "Elementary Poisonology" and "The Art of Death" whose names are dangerous.
Textbooks received by Marcus
Besides, the courses in this academy are very practical, such as assassination art class, close-hand combat class, and poison experiment class .
If it is a close-quarters combat class, it sounds like a martial arts class.
Then the content written on the blackboard of the poison experiment class is obviously out of the teaching scope of normal society.
"Belladonna, arsenic, cyanide"—all highly toxic.
Teaching focus on blackboard
Before Marcus could get used to the weirdness and unusualness revealed everywhere in this college, his enthusiastic classmate Billy brought him an even bigger "surprise".
Billy gnawed on the chicken feet while introducing the classmates who would be together in the future like a competent senior.
Among them are the sons of police officers, rich second-generation members of the FBI and CIA, as well as racists and American gangsters.
And Saya, who rescued Marcus in a leather jacket , is the boss of the Japanese underworld , the Kuroki Federation.
The rubbish Marcus mixed in is like a chick who has strayed into the Jurassic, and anyone can kill him in seconds.
Of course, in the king's domain,
People like Marcus have a better nickname - the Rat .
Specifically refers to those who are disadvantaged, have no background, and do not belong to any group,
All in all, the bottom of the food chain.
And Marcus, who was at the bottom of the food chain, met Chico , a Tyrannosaurus-level character in the academy on the first day of school .
Seeing that Chico was rough with his girlfriend Maria, Marcus took it for granted that he reached out to stop Chico and angered Chico who had a temper.
Directly under the gauntlet to Marcus.
"I'll have a date with you tonight."
"Wear something handsome, it will be your shroud."
Marcus thought Chico was only threatening himself out of face.
Unexpectedly, Billy told him secretly,
"Whether you're ready or not, after school today, one of you will die."
I just got out of campus bullying, but I didn't expect the crisis to escalate and turn into a death threat.
This made Marcus bewildered.
After talking about the novel and interesting setting of the Homicide Academy,
What attracts me most in the play is the cry of social injustice that is revealed when the characters are portrayed .
Before Marcus entered the academy, he was just a piece of dregs abandoned by society.
Almost got caught and went to jail.
If you are rich, it is because you deserve it,
If you're down to smoking a cigarette butt in the street, it's your fault.
After entering the king's territory, Marcus, who has no background and no advantage in force, is still a mouse at the bottom of the food chain.
Classmate Billy once said to him with a smile, " We are losers ."
And the loser Marcus, despite the death threat, chose to stay in the king's domain,
First, because he was homeless,
The second is because he has a small goal that has been buried deep in his heart for many years - the assassination of President Reagan.
Because Reagan released thousands of mentally ill people, one of them, Barbara, deliberately fell from the sky and killed Marcus' parents.
That's why Marcus was adopted by an orphanage, he didn't get a good education, and finally became a waste.
Setting this seemingly absurd goal was the only roar the loser Marcus could utter.

To sum up, in addition to the biggest attraction of Killer Academy,
"Killer Class One" also has an explosive BGM, a strong critical spirit , a non-mainstream dark tone, and even a bit of an unconventional mid-secondary atmosphere .
If you are tired of watching all kinds of particularly serious political and sci-fi American dramas,
Then this "Killer Class" is definitely worth a try!
