As someone who absolutely loved Archer, I have to recommend Hit-Monkey.
Now, I know people are sick of Marvel, but Hit-Monkey is BARELY Marvel. Especially season 1.
It’s animated by Floyd County Productions, same people who did Archer, and as for the plot, imagine that Archer were an assassin instead of a spy and that he were voiced by Jason Sudeikis instead of H Jon Benjamin and that he ends up as a ghost mentor for a monkey.
It’s fantastic. I binged the whole thing in two days this past week.
“'memba”, or “remember that thing” moments are when they shoe horn cameos from other franchise characters or into the show, or the writers add dialogue referencing events in the universe and the audience goes “yes! I know that character” or “hey, I know that other show!”. Disney’s star wars is notoriously bad at it, and so is the MCU to a slightly lesser degree. It’s off putting and very low-brow, breaking the flow of a plot by introducing a very obvious fan service element.
If you are not misinterpreting it, I’m glad to hear.
So there are other super-powered characters who show up, but none that I recognized. They all seem appropriate to the show. They could be from some Marvel comic, but they’re very much there to be part of this story.

Nope. Not even a little, unless I’m misinterpreting what you mean.

I haven’t heard of this, will definitely check it out!
