An absurd, over the top production would actually be quite fitting for something like this for once. Getting the guy who put in a lot of absurd over the top stuff in a popular film series that made bank will help it a lot. Also i’m glad the OPM fans dodged the bad Netflix adaptation bullet.

If they keep the underlying humor of Saitama then this might be actually good.

In a surprise twist, it turns out the entire one-punch universe was Caillou’s fever dream… :wink:

Agreed! If it remains a satire poking fun at fighting anime tropes it will be great. If it transitions into a superhero focused satire that would be ok too, but I love the Shonen references.

I look forward to avoiding the online fan rants after it comes out about how the details are different and they’ve ruined the story and cast the wrong actors, etc.

i think we need the subject of the satire in movie form before the satire itself can land properly. otherwise people who are new to it won’t get it
