Watched the first episode of Blake and Mortimer with my boyfriend yesterday as we basically realised that despite both of us growing up with franco belgian comics neither of us had ever read or watched that one in particular.
Anyways we just spent the entire episode laughing our asses off over the german character Professor Grossgrabenstein because his name translates to “Professor Giant Tombstone” and we thought it sounded like an Ace Attorney Victim name and kept making dick jokes in heavy german accents whenever the professor Grossgrabenstein appeared on screen.
Also we both agree Blake and Mortimer are old man Yaoi coded and the villain of the episode looked like Walt Disney.
Overall Blake and Mortimer first episode gets a 6.5/10 from us. It has all the right building blocks for a show the two of us would technically adore but we just feel like SOMETHING is missing that we cannot put our finger on
"I might watch some more episodes to see if it gets better or not"
Trust me buddy, you wouldn't wanna see how many characters they butchered in this adaptation.
