I quite liked the Larp scene where he kind of half takes it seriously fighting off everyone that comes near him as he makes his way to the guy with the Ronin outfit. It was awkward as hell but hilarious

I know that was a really simple joke but it was hilarious and I loved it

That, and it's a Christmas show and he promised his daughter he'll be home for Christmas. He's practically immortal now.
Getting killed by the Jumpsuit mafia would be a bummer after fighting Loki, Ultron and Thanos.

The action this episode was great, especially the opening fight in the building they were being held in and the car chase was decent too.
My favourite thing in the series so far is the relationship between Kate and Clint. The two work very well together and i love the more touching moments they have with Hawkeye such as when he was on his phone and Kate was telling him what his son was saying.

Since there's only 4 issues of the character as a title character there's not a lot there. The changes that they did make were actually to add more story rather than take stuff out.
The ghost gets a name and a way more Jason Sudakis style personality, kind of prefer it to the weird stoic comic book ghost. Rather than the ghost being there for Hit Monkey's journey he's convinced that he needs Hit Monkey to finish his business. The arguments between Hit Monkey and Bryce (the ghost) are pretty fun, mostly because they don't subtitle HIt Monkey unless he's talking to other animals.
They also complicate the revenge story and add a bunch of characters. Instead of Bullseye it's Lady Bullseye because they're doing a whole...thing with that character that's different than Bullseye, but Bullseye was the main villain/foe in the comics. They also use a few other Japanese heroes and villains...meaning that the Hit Monkey cartoon had more Marvel characters in it than the original comic. Silver Samurai appears in the finale, Fat Cobra (one of the Immortal Weapons from the seven cities of heaven-one of which is K'un Lun, where the other Immortal Weapon hails from Iron Fist. Fat Cobra is the immortal weapon of Peng Lai. Yuki looks like the ninja Yuki and acts like the goddess Yuki, but this time protects Japan.
I mean, if you watched it you know that and if you didn't you probably didn't click the spoiler...ah well.
Non-spoiler stuff-but still a bit much to scroll by if you don't care.THe faithful stuff was cool, the added stuff was an improvement. The animation style seems more western influenced by Japanese rather than Westerners just doing Japanese style art. I rather liked it. Crazy violent but also light. It's deep in Marvel but not even hinting at being in the MCU, it's very clearly in its own universe. Obviously. Even more-so than M.O.D.O.K.. I liked it overall. I got into Hit Monkey backwards because he was in the Howling Commandos series. I think it'd be cool if they do a second season that they eventually just work it into the Howling Commandos. There's no way they're saving that for the MCU. A team up between a Dum Dum Doogan clone, a zombie Hydra guy...gah, what's his name? Sitwell. Zombie Sitwell. Hit Monkey, Man Thing, Orggo (a big...thing...with glowing eyes), Teen Abomination, Manphibian...that ain't happening in the MCU. I dig that series but I think I'm the only one. I'm a sucker for Man Thing though.
Anyway. Going to be very much to taste. I wouldn't say required viewing but you know, if a mutant (implied) monkey that learns to be an assassin by the ghost of a hitman and gets involved in Japanese political intrigue via a lot of gruesome killing and quippy dialog sounds like something you'd enjoy, you'll probably enjoy it. If that sounds grating as hell it's not going to change your mind.
I binged the whole thing yesterday. It was a fun ride, though my Bryce tolerance pretty much wore out towards the end. That might not have been so bad if I hadn't watched it all in one go. I've never read Hit Monkey comics, and kept forgetting that it was a Marvel show, and then Silver Samurai cameo!
I was really impressed that they had the chutzpah to do a deep character development episode entirely in subtitled monkey noises. (Okay, half an episode. Bryce got his half in unsubtitled human noises.)

Someone will just tell you in a mo’ so I’ll let them do that. But she’s different enough that you might as well experience her fresh. Actually if you know you’ll have a pretty good idea how the story will go for her, so maybe avoid finding out. Up to you.
Also, if you know then the episode would have given you some serious Reed Richards/Kang/Tobey McGuire blue balls. The “uncle”could be a popular villain that already appeared but in a Marvel Entertainment thing not Marvel Studios. It probably isn’t but I still got a little excited.
Car chase needed more Mini Coopers. There were a lot of nods to a car chase with the Tracksuit Vampires (Draculas? Yes, Dracula’s. Mafia in the show.) Instead of white vans that make sense, it was vintage mini coopers. And Clint was in the muscle car. There he bought his building to prevent shady real estate Shit. Grills is his neighbor. Don’t think any of that is happening.
The writer of the series they’re pulling from is a consulting producer. I don’t know if they’ve been doing that the whole time or not, but kinda cool and accounts for how much of the vibe of his run has made it to the show.
Mustache fiancé is also a character from the comics, by now you pretty much know what his deal is.
Also haha the costume.
Kind of wonder if the big bad isValentina. Or someone working for or with her. Or if Black Widow is just going to be a complication, another thing that makes him sad.
