I didn't watch the previous series. I watched the Netflix animation and I was pretty ok with the animation style, but the story has a serious problem.
The plot is driven by a prophecy that says that the heroes won't be able to save the world. For this reason, everyone decides that the best thing to do is to kill the heroes before they fail! What!? Yes! If the heroes won't protect the world from destruction (a pretty empty world, by the way, with no people whatsoever), then we kill them and everything gets destroyed anyway, but at least they won't lose... This is the most stupid plot I have ever seen!
Besides, even though this is a very unoriginal super hero series, the heroes basically genocide hundreds of soldiers. If their goal is to save people, they have failed miserably. There is a whole nonsensical scene where they fight an army and they just kill everyone without mercy (they at least don't show the soldiers burning, so that we won't get traumatized by this). What kind of lesson for children is this supposed to be? You can kill as many people you want as long as no one sees them dying? What kind of psychopath wrote this script?
There is also a lot of inconsistencies and plot holes in the story overall.
The jokes are very silly (painfully silly) and the main characters become best friends in like 5s after being attacked, even though they were all fighting against each other and hating each other right before they got their backs kicked. And this fake friendship is what wins in the end? Seriously? These characters are truly psychopaths. Maybe there is a plot twist in the end and we realize thy are all hallucinating together in a mental hospital.
