Hit-Monkey review

Being free from the MCU, Hit-Monkey is able to show the gorier, more adult side of Marvel. It rightfully fully indulges in this, while balancing out with genuine character drama as well as funny worldbuilding (no, it’s not just the titular monkey who is sapient among the animals in the show).

Still, this is a buddy cop style show, and if there is one flaw is that it focuses way too much on Bryce, to the point that the second season is almost all about him over Hit-Monkey. While he’s not a bad character per se, he definitely feels much more generic as an absentee father hedonist type character, while Monkey’s plot is more complex and nuanced.
