Marvel’s Hit-Monkey [2021]

Marvel’s Hit-Monkey might be a new take at introducing Marvel’s comics to the screens, but it already has something interesting to it.

Being the second Marvel Television animated series in the last couple of years, I was honestly skeptical about the show. I didn’t really like M.O.D.O.K. and couldn’t really watch more than a couple of episodes. So, you can understand my hesitation to watch Hit-Monkey.

However, I have to say that this show is way better. Yes, having a squeaking monkey as the main character was a bit of a challenge to follow, but something was working for me. Who wouldn’t like to watch a vengeful Japanese snow monkey and the ghost of an American assassin cut down Tokyo’s underworld?

Plus, as much as I liked Jason Sudeikis in Ted Lasso, I just hated him here as Bryce. He gave me a migraine in one of the episodes.

Should you watch it?

You’ll be surprised by Hit-Monkey. I sure was. But your enjoyment of the show largely depends on how much you enjoy Jason Sudeikis’ non-stop, juvenile, party-bro-patter. For a character that is a frequent collaborator for Deadpool and Spider-Man, Hit-Monkey deserved a better on-screen start.

Where can I watch it?

You can stream the first season of Marvel’s Hit-Monkey exclusively on Hulu in USA and on Disney+ everywhere else.
