This year the cinematographic world has returned to the "normality" after the stop of the pandemic and the first producer to lead this pull has always been insurmountable Marvel Studios. So much so, that he has led the box office for months, first with the premiere of Eternals And then with Spiderman: No Way Home. But beyond UCM, and away from the spotlights, a new series has emerged that reached Disney + On January 26 and is leaving very good reviews: Hit monkey.
Hit monkey It is an animated series, based on the comics of Daniel Way and Dalibor Talajić, which tells the story of a murderer of murderers. Another antihero that appears with thirst for justice after the brutal slaughter of many of his. But Hit Monkey is not alone, accompanies him Bryce, an American hired assassin who shares his vindictive and bloody spirit. Thus the duo travels to Tokyo To deal with the worst murderers of the city's low neighborhoods, becoming criminals for some and heroes for others. In addition, Hit Monkey appears in the comics of Deadpool and Spiderman, becoming a common enemy of the two. This is not counted in the Disney +series, but who knows, if you end up having the success we may see your face more often on screen.
This series has been scored in Filmaffinity With a 6.6, a note that can be unpleasant, but given the standards of the platform is actually quite high. Let's keep in mind that Spiderman: No Way Home They have granted a sad 7,4 and Infinity War A 7.5. Some of his criticisms point out that: "It is among the best Marvel series (...) the story and the characters make the viewer emotionally connect" and is "visually amazing and surprisingly bloody, 'Hit monkey' gets the most out of his animation." Other platforms such as Spin-off also talk about the series very well and place it among the best of recent times.
Therefore, Hit Monkey will have to be given the opportunity he deserves, and check if he is really as entertaining as they say. In addition, even UCM lovers need new stories to take us out of the vicious circle in which we sometimes locked ourselves. This is undoubtedly a good way to spend the afternoon
