Weird Trailer For Adi Shankar's Netflix Animated Series THE GUARDIANS OF JUSTICE Features a Rip-off of Kang From TMNT

Netflix has released a trailer for Adi Shankar’s mysterious new animated series The Guardians of Justice. Shankar is the guy behind the Castlevania anime series and he also created a bunch of those Bootleg short films inspired by The Punisher, The Power Rangers, and more.

This next project looks really weird and it features WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page as a character named Marvelous Man, which looks like Birdman from that Michael Keaton movie. Then there’s a Superman-like character from another world, and a villain that is a straight rip-off of Kang from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Here’s the synopsis for the series:

"The alien superhero MARVELOUS MAN has kept the earth at peace for 40 years. But when a devastating secret and its tragic consequences throws our world into chaos, it's up to Marvelous Man's bitter, violent lieutenant KNIGHT HAWK and idealistic do-gooder THE SPEED to stop nuclear war. An art house satire of the superhero genre, Guardians of Justice mixes live action with traditional animation, claymation, cut out paper animation, and 8-bit video game footage in a kaleidoscope of pop art insanity."

The series was created by Adi Shankar, who will also direct and write alongside the likes of Shawn Deloache, Samuel Laskey, Stewart Yost, Kenlon Clark, Luis Junquera, and Enol Junquera. The series also stars Sharni Vison, RJ Mitte, Hal Ozsan, Christopher Judge, Jane Seymour, Denise Richards, Derek Mears, and Andy Milonakis.

Season 1 drops today, March 1st, 2022, so if you’re interested in checking it out, go for it! Personally, I’m not impressed.
