In recent years, there have been more and more R-rated large-scale superhero movies.
For example, "Wolverine 3", "Black Robe Picket", "Deadpool", "X Task Force: All Assembled"... etc., although the scenes of these movie series are relatively heavy, they have a fight. It's like plasma without money, either a broken arm or a broken leg, but they really reflect the power that a superhero should have in the real world.
Try to imagine that if there really are monsters like Superman and Hulk in the real world, with their speed and strength, a single punch should be like a full-speed armored car hitting a person, not just like the previous super Like the British movie, knock the bad guys to the ground and it's over. With a superhuman body, it should theoretically be able to tear a human stick as easily as a piece of tofu. This is the destructive power that a superhero should have.
But in the past, most of the audience of super-English films was teenagers, and they were destined to not have too bloody performances. This created some logical contradictions. It is difficult for us to really see the violent and terrifying side of superheroes in the field of animation. It is especially rare.
And now, this "Invincible Young Hero" animation produced by Amazon finally lets us see the strength of a superhero.
There are 8 episodes in the first season, and each episode is full of 50 minutes, which will definitely make every fan who loves violent aesthetics and superheroes so cool.
Before that, Xia Duo had actually not seen many American animations, and he had only watched a few animated series and movies produced by DC and Marvel. My impression of American animation is only that the lines are quite simple, the graphics are smooth and full of imagination, but the battle scenes are always a little less bold, and I rarely see the high-burning fighting scenes often found in Japanese animation.
But "The Invincible Young Man" has completely changed my outlook.
Relying on the financial investment of Amazon, the owner of the fund, regardless of cost, the battle scenes of this animation can be described as burning funds.
In the animation, several superhero battles go to the ground, destroy the dead, fist to the flesh, and have the speed and power of bursting. They are impressive in the expressiveness of the painting and the number of frames, which reminds me of "Dragon Ball" and "Dragon Ball". "One Punch Man" has the shocking power of these daily comics, and there is even the visual sense of the fairy fight of Superman VS General Zod in the live-action film "Superman Iron Man".
Of course, what is even more intuitive is the bloody performance of this animation that absolutely reaches the 18th prohibition level.
At first glance at the first episode of "The Invincible Young Man", you might think that this is just another unremarkable super-British animation, where superheroes deal with villains and villains so old-fashioned.
But when you see the ending, you will be shocked by the sudden blackening of the unfolding. At the same time, from the undisguised headshots, cuts in the waist...the bloody rain of blood in the sky, you know that this animation is here to play real.
With the power of superheroes, they can grind an ordinary person into flesh without any effort, and when there are superheroes in the city to fight, even if it is to save people and help justice, the superheroes’ every move can easily be destroyed. Urban architecture is likely to involve innocent people and cause a large number of casualties. In this narrative, it is very similar to the opening scene of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" filmed by Zachsnyder.
Although the title is "Invincible Young Man" (or "Invincible Boy"), in the first season of the animation, the most eye-catching character is undoubtedly the father of Invincible "Invincible"-Omni man "Omni man" .
Almighty is the strongest hero to guard the earth. It comes from the star of Viltum. The people on this planet are all fighting races no less than Saiyans. They have super speed and strength, flight ability, and almost invincible flesh and life. Super long, one person is enough to destroy the civilization of a planet.
Obviously, Almighty's settings and cloaked appearance will remind people of the strongest hero in the DC universe-Superman.
The allusion to the DC comics is obviously intentional. Even in the first volume of the original comics, Almighty has made complaints about himself. "Many people think that the energy source of Almighty and his family is the sun" (because the energy source of Superman Is the sun).
Not only is the image of Superman being borrowed, in fact, even the setting of the original cast of the Justice League has almost been used to make fun of it.
In "Invincible Young Man", in the organization "Guardians of the Earth" we can see familiar "Batman", "Aquaman", "Wonder Woman", "Flash", "Martian Manhunter"... Is there a copycat version of Justice League! ?
This also reminds us of the popularity in recent years, which is also another anti-hero masterpiece of the Justice League, "Black Robe Picket".
Both works have a combat power ceiling, the Almighty and the Motherland people based on the blackened version of Superman, and a group of Shanzhai Justice League organizations that succumb to the absolute force of the Almighty/Motherlanders. Similarly, these two works The scenes are very bloody and heavy, and they are very straightforward about the violence and realism of superheroes.
But in comparison, Xia Duo still feels that "Invincible Young Hero" and "Black Robe Picket" are essentially different.
Although "Invincible Young Man" has the darkening and tyrannical side of superheroes, the core of the whole work, such as the growth experience of Invincible Young Man, and the story of being a superhero while living on a high school campus, like Spider-Man Still very traditional and decent.
"Black Robe Pickets" is a complete anti-superhero black satire, with hundreds of taboos in creative expression, and it is full of joy. Although he is also a darkened Superman, Almighty has a legitimate reason for being loyal to his hometown and his inner entanglements, while the motherland man is completely a moody perverted villain (not to say that the motherland man is embarrassingly shaped).
Under similar story settings, the development of the two works reflects the difference between the kingly way and the evil way.
And this is precisely the greatest sense of violation in the plot of "Invincible Young Hero".
At the beginning of watching this animation, you will feel that the darkening at first glance is very exciting, and there must be some very deep inside story or amazing reversal.
But as the story progresses, this animation has actually returned to the traditional super-English film unfolding, and the reason for Almighty's killing is so unrefined. The reason for taking the old earth like this is really lack of imagination. , And illogical.
Why can't he conquer the earth by force when he first descended on the earth? Or negotiate with the top of the earth and use peaceful means (and show the desperate gap in power between the two sides) to let the earth voluntarily join the Wiltum Empire? Even if you want to slaughter the Earth Guards, it seems that there is no need to put them together and kill them before Mark hasn’t figured out anything (although you know that this is the strongest animation). The entire behavior of Almighty in the first season The methods feel inexplicable and radical.
The bloody painting style and super action scenes, combined with the simple straight lines of the literary play, don't look so good at all.
In contrast, the story of the robots in the New Earth Guard is more in-depth.
Another problem is the common problem of Hollywood works in recent years-the forcible inclusion of elements of political correctness.
In the original work, the protagonist's girlfriend, Amber, is obviously a blonde and white man, but in the animated version, he turns into a black girl.
This habit of changing the original characters in the Super British movie is really speechless. Before, the Valkyrie in Thor 3 became black (please tell me where the blacks in Norse mythology came from?), and later in "Birds of Prey" The blond black canary has really become a black canary... Oh, yes, there is also the controversial black version of "The Little Mermaid" that Disney is about to release soon.
I am by no means racially discriminatory, and I respect black actors, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the film's forcibly changing the color of the characters is not to support black power, but to play a racial card in the movie to attract black audiences. , But they only forgot that this is disrespectful to the original fans.
In addition to the black card, there are many other elements that force ZZZQ in "Invincible Young Man", such as changing the protagonist’s friend William to the gay setting, adding LGBT elements; for example, adding a large number of female characters, and then borrowing The protagonist’s mother said, “Even if I have the world’s number one superhero husband, the meaning of work to me cannot be deprived of” and other feminist declarations. However, these advertised women’s independence and will not be simple. The plot of adoration with males is frowning because of the abrupt arrangement.
For example, the mother of the protagonist investigates whether Almighty is murdering the Earth Guard, and when Amber learns that Mark is the invincible young man, he says, "So what, if you think you are a superhero, I will admire you, and the most important thing is you." The attitude of "deceived me" makes the audience feel very uncomfortable, as if they are simply making trouble and causing trouble...the old-fashioned "you listen to me explain" "I don't listen to me" plot.
There are also other minor problems. For example, the combat power setting of this work is very strange. A half-bodied man made of broken copper and iron beats back and forth; for example, the protagonist’s family is usually too high-profile, and Almighty takes off from home to buy vegetables and soy sauce abroad, and Mark smashes his own yard. A crater, but neighbors and friends around you don’t know their true identities? In reality, the secrets of the first superhero family on earth must have been inquired about by the 24-hour paparazzi...
Although I have listed such and other issues in the story, I still like the fresh shock that this animation brings to me very much, and I realize that in addition to DC and Marvel World, there are such potential super British worldview.
Just from the luxurious lineup of voice actors in this film (I especially like Zachary Quinto, the voice of "Robot", his villain "Hero" is my enlightenment to the American TV series), you can know that Amazon is very interested in this animated series. The investment and promising prospects are determined.
The first season of animation is clearly just the beginning.
The potential of the Invincible Young Hero, the whereabouts of the Almighty, the ambitions of the Wiltum Empire, and many villains have just launched an iceberg-style introduction... This drama has been renewed for the following new seasons, and it is foreseeable that it will A more majestic and shocking battle is about to unfold, and I am quite looking forward to it.
In a word-friends, you must not lose money when you enter the pit at this time!
