Quarantine Superhero is a sweet attempt to portray an exchange between a villain and a superhero as they eventually discover and try to address the chemistry between them. While discussing literature and their views on female characters, the narrative brings to life ideas on their misogynistic portrayal, the misunderstandings that often plague it, all the while endeavoring to parody the superhero genre as well as young people in society in general.
The conversation progresses between the protagonist and the antagonist to eventually lead to a final product that is zealous in its attempts to achieve all of this. While operating within the limited space of few resources and skills, the film, at the same time, suggests the deep potential of its young cast and crew. The result is colorful, entertaining, sincere and honest in the treatment of the story it wants to share with the viewer.
As for the two characters who first meet in a bookstore for a face-off and eventually proceed to the Dark Night's budget-lair once she takes Weather Man captive, what unexpected developments await them on the other side of this encounter?
