Great
Who said anti-heroes had to be the worst trash? If some turn out to have a big heart, it is through their status as eternal losers that others manage to obtain the favors of the public.
This is the case of Frank (Rainn Wilson), a seedy cook at the center of Super and whose life collapses when his wife (Liv Tyler) leaves him for a notorious thug (Kevin Bacon).
Neither one nor two, he improvises superhero to punish the criminal. For this, he can count on a passionate young saleswoman of comics (Eliott Page), whose knowledge in the matter will inspire him.
The charm of this super-comedy, directed by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy), is inversely proportional to the charisma of its hero loser.
The Boys
Does The Boys series still need to be presented? Carried by Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Simon Pegg or Erin Moriarty, this quasi-dystopian story treats superheroes as enemies.

Peacemaker
The essential Peacemaker from The Suicide Squad, embodied by the equally cult John Cena, is back in a completely crazy series from the brilliant mind of James Gunn, mentioned above for Super.
Found by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) after the events of the film, the Peacemaker is sent on new, equally perilous missions. And despite his desire to do well to serve and protect the United States, his temperamental character and his unfortunate tendency to draw at the slightest annoyance are not likely to make his task any easier!
These super-movies and super-series are available on Prime Video.
