a5c7b9f00b Maxx is a purple-clad superhero living in a cardboard box. His only friend is Julie Winters, a freelance social worker. Maxx often finds himself shifting back and forth between the "real" world and a more primitive outback world where he rules, and protects Julie. Mr. Gone, a self-proclaimed "student of the mystic arts" seems to know more about Maxx and Julie and their strange relationship than they could ever guess, but he's not exactly telling all….not yet, anyway. Confused hulking homeless superhero The Maxx tries to protect his social worker and friend Julie from an omniscient serial killer Mr. Gone both in the real world, which may or may not actually be real, and the subconscious fantasy world. I knew I was going to need something good and strong to wash off "Snowed in at the House of Mouse" today, so I rented "the Maxx". I saw bits of it when Mtv aired it as a mini-series and was taken in by the excellent visuals and believable -almost pitiable- cast of characters. But before I gush, a little history is needed here.<br/><br/>Some time in the mid-90's, Mtv actually had a few good shows. No kidding. At the time it pained them to interrupt the music videos (!!!???!!!) for a while to show them, but that's another rant in itself. They had an animated mini-series block called "Oddities". One of these was the grotesque, overplayed "the Head" and the other was "the Maxx".<br/><br/>So what would you say if I told you now that this cartoon is darker, more complicated, and better written than any of the live-action movies in the new release shelves the past three weeks?<br/><br/>Go rent it tonight. This is going to stay with you for a long time. the episodes on shows up to comic book 13.. there are 35. so to get any real grasp on the show it is probably a good idea to read them all<br/><br/>this is the best thing MTV ever did in my opinion.. beavis and butthead is interesting but does not have the same depth as this..i loved watching this and since seeing went and bought all of the merch:D<br/><br/>mr gonne is a very scary piece of work.. you need to read the comic books to understand how nasty he is… <br/><br/>i think that maxx is something we all have to make us feel safe.. as obviously maxx's name is dave? it all still kinda confuses me<br/><br/>totally worth a watch though.. is over 3 and a half hours so make yourself comfy
