This was... actually pretty funny. The film is kind of if you combined something like ATHF or Regular Show with the superhero genre. Everyone besides robot maker Dana (who is kind of the only character with a palpable kindness and smarts) is an incompetent asshole and the main villain has motivations so flimsy I don't even remember them anymore, but the movie doesn't seem to care all that much. It is more content with observing it's roster of weirdos as they try to get by, bumble into situations and being the worst superheroes ever (including the "professional superheroes" the movie already had) as Riyadh burns to ashes and it's all okay, since the movie is on several instances really funny, specially it's climax which is just, very Looney Tunes with a lot of collateral damage and black comedy.

Visually is kinda as if it were emulating [Adult Swim] productions, prioritizing a style that fits it's low budget production. It looks like flash drawings, with hints of Family Guy and cartoons like Amphibia contrasted with a bit more detailed backgrounds, which, who knows, it probably was for a budget bump.
