How I Became a Superhero? A French Netflix original
How I Became a Superhero? Well, the characters of this movie got theirs because of a drug that gives people powers. Where can I buy one? How Became a Superhero? will be on Netflix this July 9.
Most Superhero content people have is either from American or Japanese content. Marvel/DC and Mangas had been the main source of most internationally known Superhero content.
We rarely see Superhero perspectives from other countries. Art films and Romance is more associated with French content. (They do great horror movies though) It is kinda refreshing seeing a French perspective on the Superhero Genre. When America or Japan make superheroes who are supposed to be French, they are usually stereotypes that wear a beret. Now we will get to see French Superheroes created by the French for the French. They are not caricatures and they are more culturally accurate with France.
In How I Became a Superhero?, there is an illegal drug that can give people superpowers.
Also, some super-powered people got kidnapped and have their powers extracted. A world where superpowers become a product can be very dangerous.
An unlikely duo will work together to stop an evil organization that is selling these drugs. With great powers comes great responsibility. That is What Uncle Ben said to Peter Parker before he comes the Spiderman.
This drug falls in the hands of the wrong people. People who will use their powers for selfish and sinistrous reasons. A cop who is more of a lone wolf will work with a detective so they can stop this evil organization before they make any more damage.
Some people compare this film to Project Power which is another Netflix Original but this film came out first but with no English translations. Now it will be available for subtitling in multiple languages and there will be English dub options as well.
