The Badguys by Luke Lancaster

adventurous funny lighthearted

3.0

"This is me. Call me Doctor Zero. The first thing you should know about me is that I'm not a bad guy. I mean I'm a thief. And maybe there was a hostage situation. Or two. Okay, it was seven. But a job's a job. My therapist said that was rationalizing. She said a lot of other things too... I don't see my therapist anymore."




- Aaah this is gonna be elite humour. I can feel I'll love this already 

- Bad puns are good puns

- Already love the trope of the heroes being "good" people and the heroes (Bolt) being absolute dickheads

- Doctor Destroika- "Cosmonaut. Genius. Murderer. Dad."- seems nice (sarcasm)

- Love this comraderie between brothers in law Deadbeat and Zero, partners in crime!

- Discussing family problems through the course of committing crimes

- Colossus seems like he's gonna be fun and interesting as a new hero... I love his dynamic being chucked in with Doctor Zero and Deadbeat 

- So Colossus has been pushed into supervillain, will he stay that way or fight his way into superhero?

- Oooh, hello Penny Dreadful... you'll be a good one 

- Ahaha, love Valentine embarrassing Bolt when they're both in their civilian disguise 😂 his face when she talks about him being frozen 😭

- The team's getting together!

- the humour is perfect

- Penny and Valentine are brilliant together 

- love this chaotic ragtag group

- okay, Valentine, I wasn't expecting that... what are you scheming? What side of the fence are you on?

- this group are a bunch of kids the way they all mess around it's great

- lol the Bolt finally be getting humbled

- Love the writing and breaking fourth walls etc

- Morrigan and Masque are cool, not bullies like Bolt- wish we saw more of them!

- I was.... kinda expecting more from the ending... they just kinda skipped the boss battle and ended it
