Is that fair? Maybe, or maybe Johnny is a selfish brat who doesn’t have any idea what it’s like to raise a kid? We don’t know because all we get are brief, awful one-dimensional glimpses of her. She’s like a caricature of a bad mom who cares more about herself and her boyfriends than her kid. She doesn’t let him watch his classic superhero shows and blames him for her lack of a love life, then later hits on a TV repairman. Johnny, in the pursuit of his new hero identity, can’t wait to escape his old life. The only thing that actually surprised me about any of this was just how wrong it all went. The series goes through the motions, though, showing how Johnny psychs himself up to his big superhero reveal before everything goes wrong. I could explain how Johnny is picked on by other kids, has a miserable home life, and spends his time experimenting with his new powers via a montage but honestly, we’ve seen this type of thing so many times that it seems unnecessary. Johnny Bolt is already a great electricity-related name, doofus! Ahem. One of the tragedies that unfolds as he decides to costume up, recruit his best friend as an assistant, and put on a big show to prove his bullies wrong, is that he changes his name. They cut a trailer with fast cuts and a fun voiceover that made me think, well okay, I haven’t watched an anime in a while, why not? So how does it hold up? Let’s find out.Ī kid named Johnny Bolt discovers he has the power to control electricity. Netflix is betting that the buzz surrounding its live-action Cowboy Bebop series might transfer to their new series Super Crooks, an anime based on a comic written by Mark Millar of Kick Ass and Kingsman fame.
