Hugh Jackecman is a Marvel legend. His role as a Wolverine has covered many changes in the superhero genre; The first "X-Men" was revolutionary, the forerunner of films like the "Dark Knight" based on these characters with comics and made them look and feel realistic. Then, in "Logan", Jackecman helped give the genre legitimacy with a film recognized by the academy, a film so good, a rare gem with a definitive ending (even if "Deadpool & Wolverine" kind of encouragement) and a hallmark of the genre.

Of course, The "X-Men" franchise Not the only superhero title, Jackecman is part of. There are some where he is essentially a superhero in a non-comic book film, like the Easter Bunny in "Raising Guardians" that is essentially Bani Batman, or his very short voice in "Free Man", a very bad Easter egg from superhero. But there is another role that Jackecman had in what is an excellent animated superhero -unique Australian fever that was supposed to see more people, a play that everyone, but disappeared from the conversation - "Koala Man".

"Koala man" was created by Michael Kuzak, who also created "Jolo" and co-created the leader of the "smiling friends" adult swimming. The show has been developed by Kuzak along with Dan Hernandez and Benji Summit (the great "Starwells War: Renew the Galaxy" and The upcoming miracle that is a sequel to "space balls"). The show takes place in an alternative universe where the Titanic did not sink, but the United States is completely destroyed (except Hollywood, which is now an island), leaving Australia as a lonely superpower in the world and Nicole Kidman as her queen. This is a superhero -seed for Kevin Williams (Kuzak) as the average man of a medieval family, which is also a fairly average superhero -man.

"Koala man" feels in many ways to continue the "Rick and Morti" and "Solar Contrasts" sensibility, with a surreal sense of humor hiding in the world. Indeed, the story is basically that if the scenario for Jerry Smith, if he was an Australian and had confidence to try and play a hero.

Kuzak brings his "smiling friends" a sense of humor to "Koala Man", walking from a quiet and grounded family sitcom into an extremely comic book space, introducing monstersube monsters, a league of superheroes and bizarre creatures and forces, while still a lot of world. That contrast between family drama and superheroes is directly from Sam Raimi's Spiderman Movies (which are a great inspiration for the show). After all, this is a show for a man who is going through a crisis in middle life so badly, he decided to turn into a superhero. Under the laughter lies an emotionally complex story that is not afraid to darken.

And yet, this is still a comedy, one with an unequivocal humor of Aussie Bogan. There are many Australian -specific jokes, such as a pocket for Australian actors who go full Hollywood, as well as a parade of Australian Stars' Stars like Hugo Weaving and Miranda Otto. As for Hugh Jackecman, his role as Big Greg is more or less Hugh Jackecman, a beloved celebrity with very impressive physics who steals the scene at any time it is around.

Unfortunately, "Koala Man" has not been restored for Season 2, and since the show came out in 2023 and there was no word on his future - plus, Kuzak is probably busy with more "smiling friends", it seems that the man Koala hanged his gown. However, it's a fun season on TV it's worth watching, whether you're a superhero fan or just wanting a different kind of animated sitcom.
