Super Crooks (2021)
6/10
A solid show for a seemingly nonexistent audience
25 December 2021
Mark Millar is a scumbag but he can write if he wants to. The 4 issue source comic is pretty forgettable. As is most of his output these days. The 120 professional-looking pages can only be described as a Hollywood pitch and all Millar got out of it was an anime miniseries that extends an already canceled live-action show. Lol. Eps 1 to 9 are 98% original prequel material and the last 4 mostly adapt the comic. The plot is too repetitive as you end up watching the same/similar characters going through the same motions about 3 times by the end. Logic and a sense of danger are equally missing. The animation and style are top-notch so I stuck with it despite a clunky beginning. This is rule of cool the show. English is the original voice track so I went with it. Millar adaptations have outshined the source material more than once and so does Super Crooks even if the light is a bit dim. 6.5/10.
