I worked on this show, and I'm so glad you pointed to the chase scene in Episode 7 as an example of high quality visuals. I actually did a lot of animation for that scene!! Also, there's a reason the show might remind you a bit of Archer: they're both made by the same studio!

The car scene with all 4 characters in the police car. When one character said something dark and ask if it was too dark then one character said "ehh" I knew it was from the same studio without looking it up. That was a nice reference. There was a few other ones, but that was the main one that stuck out the most for me.

Unless it's a word by word transfer of Steve Gerber's masterful run animated The Maxx style then there is no point. There's literally no other way to do justice to HTD (and no way to better it). In the words of Chuck Mcgill, marvel having the rights to Howard the Duck is "is like a chimp with a machine gun." It's a damn shame that Gerber never got back a character that was wholly his own.

This’ll be interesting, seeing hitmonkey was an obscure Deadpool character

This was supposed to debut on Disney+ here in Canada (among other non-US countries) back in November but it seems to have been delayed until January 26 for some reason. Hulu isn't available outside the US without a VPN so I'm not surprised it's flying under the radar right now. I'll definitely check it out in a few weeks!

This show is elite and it shows that marvel can do an animated series that's not garbage

I agree with everything you said man I love that this show wasn't lazy it had a ton of passion behind it and you can feel it in every episode I love that they included an obscure character like fat cobra who is one of the immortal weapons in the marvel universe like iron fist and hasn't been appropriately adapted into anything other than the immortal iron fist comics written by ed brubaker and Matt fraction with gorgeous art by David aja even lady bullseye was menacing and threatening and I love silver samurais brief cameo appearance I love that his not just used as a one dimensional villain for wolverine to fight like in every adaption of the character his a famous celebrity hero in Japan and I liked seeing that aspect of the character man it's something I haven't seen before

The comic and show is a example of “given the right writer, any concept can be good given the right approach”

Having the one Yakuza guy consistently getting more injured the whole season, even when he was turning his life around had me laughing so hard and made me realize how much love was out into the show. Totally deserves another season. What are your thoughts on Peacemaker, I feel that both Marvel and DC making tv shows is a much better move than the big budget movies, at least for some characters.

This series is uniquely awesome and very underrated. Definitely deserves season 2!

Hell Yeah Hit-Monkey is fucking awesome, I binged watch all the episodes in just a few hours when it first came out I couldn't get enough of this badass show 😎🤘🔥🔥🔥

Due to character arcs and developments, I’ll give this show another season.

Reminds me of Detective Chimp. A talking Chimp that is also the greatest detective is dumb and seems like a joke. But coming up with a back story of chimp drinking from Fountain of Youths making him immortal and he lived so long to develop a sentience and intellect pushes that concept to the realm of awesome.

this show is incredibly special in that i watched expecting nothing and now its one of my favorite shows of all time, the style, the humor, the dialogue, the characters, the animation, its all so perfect. i desperately hope we get to see more of this show, its impossible to overstate how much i adore it

11:48 Also nice to see an animated series set in Japan that isn’t an anime for once.

I sincerely hope this gives that previously cancelled Deadpool series a chance at revival.

If we couldn't get the animated Deadpool show, I'm at least happy we got this. I love it when passion goes into characters like this. Characters outside of the Spideys, Logan's, the Caps, and the Starks. I hope this show ends up getting love so marvel can see there's a market for characters outside of the A-listers

Imagine a hut monkey and Deadpool team up show

I’m so hyped to watch this on Disney Plus in the UK this month can’t believe how many people forgot to include this in the Marvel films/TV shows line up

Glad to hear someone talk about this, after that pretty mediocre to bad modok show I think people avoided it due to that In the end I loved it the only thing I hated was the set up for the new villain like do you think u can just do what the assassin does just because you put on their mask and took their mantle

Never expected John Wick the Monke to be awesome, and yet it is

Watching this content really makes up for all the sleepless nights and tight deadlines animating this show.... thanks

Though the animation was a little wonky I gotta say this show was great. It’s like archer set in the marvel universe which Is exactly what I wanted with that Deadpool cartoon. And I suppose this show is the closest we’re ever gonna get to that show.

Dude, I love your video editing. I almost feel disrespectful when I only stream to listen rather than watch😂 keep up the great content my man

Omg I just watched the episode of comic tropes where you cameod as Spider-Man and I really hope you get cast as his VA someday. Very coincidental that you released this bud the same day I watched the other one but I love seeing you anywhere so keep up the good work!!

Dude I literally I just finished this right before checking KZread, can't wait

Speaking of amazing marvel adjacent shows available on hulu that no-one ever talks about... Have you seen FX's Legion? based on David Haller (the schizophrenic estranged son of Charles Xavier) It's one of the best shows of the past decade (not just best superheroesque show, best shows period.) it's so wildly different from anything Marvel or Fox's X-Men have done besides maybe Wandavision and it's an absolute crime that nobody talks about it. I guarantee mainstream Marvel TV will never portray a duel between telepaths as a dance battle or as a music video duet sequence featuring mixed live action and 2D animation.

Great video. I was actually planning on doing a video about hitmonkey on my channel but no one seemed to care about the show so I figured it’d be a waste a time but now I think I might do it.

Glad you made this video, i didnt even know hit monkey had realeased andI just binged the whole thing and gotta tell ya, this is some good stuff.

Hit-Monkey deserves more love and another season‼️

It’s severely underrated

damn this must be the NFT show they were talkibg about

This was my second Hulu show. I had originally just used it to finish Criminal Minds, but I was starting to long for something new. While scrolling through I found this show and remembered how intrigued I was when watching a trailer for it in a KZread add. Also the image they have for the show on Hulu is just so badass. Popped on an episode before bed, and dude if I didn't have school that next morning, I probs would have binged the show right then and there. This show from presentation to story to action is SO badass! The art style really fits with it's gritty themes mixed with slight humor. I like to say the animation looks like a high quality Adult Swim show. And it was very noticeable in the first couple of episodes how choppy it was. But I did start to notice it less the more I watched. And the action scenes like GodzillaMendoza said, is probably where they REALLY put their budget and it shows. TLDR, WATCH THIS FREAKING SHOW IF YOU CAN !

Literally on episode 3 right now and wow I’m just pulled in. Awesome show so far. DEFINITELY a watch for anyone. I wouldn’t have given it a try either if it wasn’t for this video.

I'll have to check this one out soon. Heard some good stuff about it. Maybe this week. Good vid as always dude!

Season 2 just got confirmed

Apparently a second season is planned to release this year, so here's hoping

Another great video Xavier! Keep up the good work, stay safe ❤️

My son just suggested this show to me. That plus your review is enough for me to give it a look. Thanks for how deeply you address it's positives and my concerns (i.e. pointless MCU tie-ins). Nice job.

Was waiting to see this for awhile now! Thanks!

I honestly was not gonna watch the show but seven minutes into this you have convinced me to give the series a chance so I’m gonna I’ll come back to finish this video once I finish the series

Just stumbled across your channel and subscribed 2 minutes in. I’m going to come back to this comment with an edit, after i watch the show. You sparked my interest

I'm still watching Hit Monkey and I'm still waiting for someone to talk about him.

This is like the mob psycho 100 of superhero shows. A kooky premise that disguises a really strangely emotional core.

This is interesting seeing your review of it. I remember hearing you say before you didn't like the character so it's surprising it's so good. I might check it out.

Finally someone appreciate Hit Monkey, I practically binged the whole season in one night

Me as a comic fan: YES! Yuki Onna shows up : Mythology part of me YES! Silver Samurai shows up : X-MAN YES this show was some good stuff

I waited to watch this until I saw the show, and having just finished it, I'm right where you're at with this. I absolutely loved it and I cannot wait for more!

I binged the whole season right after watching this video,I absolutely loved it. Thanks!

I was really surprised at Hit Monkey. It's proof that anything can be written well.

What if we end up having an animated sub marvel universe on Hulu like with the Netflix verse with hit monke being the beginning and the rest of the shows being somewhere from kinda good but not faithful to the heart of the character to an insult to the character. And then a couple years later when Disney plus starts making animated marvel things (other than what if) everyone fights for hit monke to be cannon and then when the make the main villian of hit monke the villian of another show which retroactively ruins the end of hit monke

Crazy that I didn't hear more about/for this. It sounds good so I guess I'll have to check it out!

You seem to make some subtle remarks about Daniel Way's writing with Deadpool becoming worse over time. Do you plan to make a video explaining these remarks you make? Great video by the way, Xavier.

Wait, this came out? I’m looking forward to checking it out.

Just the initial synopsis of Hit Monkey as a character makes me think of an animal version of Frank Castle, in a way.

I was so high I thought this was archer and monkey Woodhouse.

I checked out the show after watching your vid. All your recommendations are top notch.

Okay, I've never heard of this before but I'm DEFINITELY looking it up. The premise is right up my alley of weird & I think I'll probably love it.

I agree, I will *power walk to Hulu’s headquarters if there isn’t a season 2*

Just saw the first episode now I'm hooked thanks

Great show, just finished it after seeing this video recommend it then came back here to watch you video. Telling all my mates to watch this one!

If it does get a second season I would like see them try to work in other obscure Marvel characters, like Manphibian.

I don't know much of Hit-Monkey, aside from a bio in Lego Marvel Superheroes 2. But this show was awesome, with great such moments, I am really liking this character. Now, excuse me as I go rewatch again.

My man, I paused the video 5 minutes in. Binged the show in a night. Resumed the video. Much appreciated.

Definitely looking forward to it releasing later in the month here in Canada

I didn't even know there was a 2nd channel
