I liked Super Crooks. MPH is definitely underrated and not talked about enough. I heard Super Crooks was meant to be a movie, but it went nowhere, and then it eventually became an anime on Netflix lol. Meanwhile, Kingsman became a movie fairly quickly lol. The Super Crooks anime series actually serves as a prequel, and adds more to the characters. So I guess they noticed what you noticed too. The last 4 episodes is an actual adaptation of the Super Crooks book.
I know you're not keen on talking too negatively about these books but I am genuinely intrigued to hear your thoughts on the 2018 Kick-Ass reboot. I'm always impressive with Millar's output, while they are often movie pitches I like the fact that his books do normally have a strong conclusion. I've not checked out or heard much about MPH before so I'll have to give it a look
Hey, James, thanks for watching :) I will definitely get to the 2018 reboot, even the Steve Niles written issues, but it will be a few weeks from now. I’m curious about that series myself, why it was rebooted to begin with, where it takes place in the Millarworld universe, etc. In regards to the strong conclusions, I’ve read that Millar will write his endings first as he’s obsessed with getting that part right, and I think that does show in his work. King of Spies is a recent series where I felt the opening and closing were strong, but the middle felt kind of like filler.
@@comixchill6332 Yeah from reading the first few issues of the reboot I couldn't tell why it existed besides revitalising the IP. I feel like the Nemesis Reboot was far more effective with that. That's interesting that he often writes endings first and yeah I can see the downside to that being that the middle isn't as strong. I do think though that so many writers are so premise focused then everything else is an after thought, Nice House on the Lake probably being the worst recent example of this.
Personally, I actually liked the Super Crooks anime better than the comic. The comic wasn't bad but I agree the characters were kinda surface-level. The anime fixes that, giving the characters more depth.
Good series of videos, new subscriber here pal
One of your best videos yet
Brilliant series
Cheers, Alex!
Nice video dude. I'm just curious to ask, what is the looping soundtrack you got playing int he background.

I’ll need to check it out, it does look very good. I’ve not watched any of the Netflix Millarworld stuff.
