Bad. So bad in fact that during the watching, squabbling broke out, and we agreed to finish watching it out of penance for our incredibly bad taste. As it was a 3 part download we had the surreal experience of watching the last 3rd in German - or possibly Russian. BYO dialogue was a complete success.
I have a theory: So many heroes and villains have kungfu skills that I believe there are training camps in the Nepalese mountains. You sign up according to your evil_rating or heroic_qualities and based on your prospective career1 you are then provided with a training program. They would have strongholds on neighbouring peaks in visual range of each other2. The heroic training centre would have meditation gardens and little old bald monks with brooms who can kick the crap out of you with one finger and the evil training centre would be dark and smoky and inclined to burst into flames and explode.
The trainees would arrive via Mysterious Mentors or on Terrible Quests of Vengeance and there would be amusing scenes where people get reclassified as hideous_sidekicks, evil_temptress_computer_programmers or superheroes_with_socially_awkward_powers. There would be a graduation battle on a frozen lake every year where they would all slide a lot on the ice and the prospective heroes would hit the prospective villains with sticks and the villains would cheat but badly and then they would all get drunk together which would solidify their enmity as they all try to suppress the horrible memories.
1Groveling_sidekick, Sadistic_dictator, Sneering_arch_villain and so on...
2And there would be lots of miming of hideous threats and occasionally embarrassed date requests.
