A little novelty, that's all

This film may have a novel idea, depicting many superpowers as bad people, telling about their influence on the lives of ordinary people, the contradiction between ordinary people and superpowers, and various old power struggles, and then No, the heinous superpowers at the end of the TV series did not get the punishment they deserved, but the victims were harmed again. Such a story really can't be called a good TV series. Justice may not be served, but evil must not be encouraged. This TV series will make people feel that the world in the film is very dark, and that justice is forever suppressed by evil. Because it doesn't tell us how to protect our rights, or a way to protect our rights. This kind of film is at best a general film that adds a little novelty to people's boring viewing. Besides, its distorted world view, some illogical plots and the swinging of the protagonist's values ​​make me uncomfortable watching it, I always think Look back and see if you missed any details. So it's only worth an episode or two, and only a star or two.

    The anti-superhero movie is so dark that it can fly. In fact, it is more than a superhero. The backside of all great lights is: dark, hypocritical, dirty, all shameful activities.

    I like the originality of the story, but it is far from a drama. The first four episodes can be scored five stars, but the level of the latter four episodes is deteriorating, and the story unfolds even more WTF. In fact, simply telling how large companies, media, and people "spoil" superheroes, and how to make natural superheroes degenerate is obviously more Ironic. Although there are only 8 episodes, there are a lot of plots that are really procrastinating. I hope the second season can be improved.
