Just an anti-hero for an anti-hero's sake

Of course I know that heroes aren't all great, but that doesn't prevent me from watching great hero films, whether it's for emotional needs or sensual gratification. Moreover, many famous heroes have personality flaws, and not all the characters set and promoted here are so perfect, but it does not hinder their worship.

Purely in terms of conception and characterization, it feels much worse than "Watchmen", and it is just another drama that sells sensory stimulation. It advertises itself by denying others, but it goes to extremes.

I also want to complain about this poster. Although the circular arrangement of the characters is a classic poster style and is widely used, there are some high-scoring movies among them, but will you use this in a drama that focuses on anti-hero routines? span

    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.
