Some Marvel that escaped Disney+
Jason Sudekis voices a drunk wisecracking assassin who gets double crossed in Japan and after slaying his betrayers, stumbles off into the forest bleeding out. He is rescued by hot spring bathing macaques. One ‘monkey’ objects to rescuing him. Then hit men come for the assassin and take out all the monkeys but the rogue one. The monkey will team up with the assassin and go on a rampage. George Takei & Olivia Munn are also voice actors here.
It’s gratuitously sanguineous but the animation is stilted. That kills the vibe because most animation set in Japan are anime, where the bar on quality and style is set high. I may watch a few more eps (10 1/2 hours) before we drop Hulu. It’s not great so far but there’s a glimmer of potential. Not yet sold but not invested either. We shall see.
