‘Jupiter’s Legacy’ review: Netflix’s comic book series is a superhero snooze-fest
The Hindu
Beneath its glossy facade of a sleek superhero offering, the series is an empty shell of unexplored potential and half-baked plot points
A superhero has a simple job description: fight evil forces and prevent them from changing the world as we know it. However, what happens when a cape-wearing crusader starts losing grip on reality, subconsciously blurring the lines between nobility and repugnant self-righteousness? Well, for starters, one is unlikely to get an answer from watching Steven S. DeKnight’s eight-part series Jupiter’s Legacy. Despite its earnest attempts at subverting genre expectations, this Netflix adaptation of a graphic novel written by Mark Miller and Frank Quitely ends up emulating everything it tries to rebel against. .The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
