Villainous

The premise of the show is very interesting, giving us the villian point of view is maybe not new, but since the begining is made clear that the "heroes" aren't always very heroic and the "villians" sometimes do well, something not new for a mature audience of series and movies that aren't exactly what people will call "cartoons", so the real improvement is using a new format to express this realistic idea.

By the date I'm writing the first parragraph of this review on June 17th 2022, there are only 6 episodes and it seems to be a lot going on behind the scenes, plenty of questions are in front of us like: What exactly is Demencia? Why does Flug use a bag in his head? Why Flug said he usually has nightmares? Why is Demencia connected with reptiles? Why is Flug connected with airplanes? What's all with the Black Charro thing? How would Goldheart try to attack Black Hat Organization?, the show really goes outside the tv/streaming screen having websites and even social media for some characters, but I like to stick to only the episodes to solve things, needless to say, to my knowledge, none of the questions are really answered there, the lore of the show seems and feels very rich, I hope it's the case, but only time will tell.

If you recently discovered this show please give it a chance, the pilot is in youtube both english and spanish, you have my word that the show is good, specially the 6th episode.

This review will probably be edited and improved when more episodes are realeased.

This show has it all; a unique cast of characters, amazing design, beautiful voice acting (especially on the part of Alan Ituriel), an original plot (villains that actually WIN), a diversity of different types of evil showing that evil is not as black and white as it's almost always depicted, and an extensive lore that extends across a few hidden websites, ALSO making it an ARG. They also managed to pull off a mary sue like character, by giving him basically infinite powers and making his main motivation boredom with his constant success, and it works! This is by far one of my favorite shows, and it only has one official "episode" to the series!

I loved every second of it, the character design and the humor are amazing, it remind me a little bit of ''mucha lucha''. Can´t wait to see more of this amazing universe.

With the shorts it seemed that this was going to be a great dark TV show and that it would break the tradition of mexican animated shows being all about their culture, but it didn't. The show feels rushed with the plots centering on the characters traveling to some place to fight a hero (Which mostly are based on characters from other franchises) the characters aren't charismatic and are frustrating and cliché and everything feels like a Mexican Telenovela that somehow got turned into an animated show. Most of the lore of the show is not explored and the show itself just depends on references and cameos of other Cartoon Network shows. Black Hat is not even the main character like the shorts made it seem he was and he's just a comic relief character that has not relevance to the plot.

Wow this was good. Disclaimer that it's been a bit since watching and writing this review. It reminds me a lot of hell of a boss in the sense that you have a cast of morally dubious characters who are fulfilling contracts. Where I think the show shines is its ability to make you care about the characters. There's Demencia, who's crazy good at what she does, leans wholeheartedly into being a villain, and has an unreciprocated crush on Black Hat. Her energy is just so contagious and I love it. Then there's Dr. Flugslys who's really smart yet shy and nervous. I love him 'cause he's such a goofy inventor. Then there is five oh five in here doesn't love an indestructible squishable bear. Smith combined with solid likable side villains let's this show shine. And there's something just so good about movies about villains (barring Despicable me > 1), likely because you can see the nuance in their lives, which is realistic to life. Eagerly awaiting more episodes but not too optimistic they're coming.
