My thoughts on amazon's #Invincible! Welcome to my invincible review.

BREACH OF PEACE LINKS:

I was surprised that you thought the, "I do actually love my son so I'm going to leave" felt like a plot convenience.
I thought it was made pretty clear that he did actually, genuinely care for his son, but when Mark came into his powers, he remembered his duty and the conflict between that and his new life on Earth started to send him off the rails. Debbie even remarks on the change.
He leaves because he can't face his son after beating him into a bloody pulp.

-THINK MARK, AFTER READING ALL THE FANTASY BOOKS, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE LEFT?!
-I will have...Daniel’s reviews

I like the fact that Robert Kirkman has a chance to tweek his story. when he first introduced this story he was in his 20's and new at writing, now 20 years later he is better at writing and storytelling in general and has a chance to make it even better. I like this idea of creators having a chance to do that through different mediums. An animated show on amazon is the perfect place for revision.

As someone who has read the comics, it doesn't get tamer.

i feel like the entire monologue Nolan gives throughout ep 8 was really him trying to remind himself of the viltrumite code. He wasn't just speaking to Mark in those moments, because he had in fact come to appreciate living on earth. It's also why he seems exhausted after beating on Mark in the mountains. The mental conflict is present throughout that entire scene and gets worse when he has the flashback and Mark's speaks those words to him after. To the point where Nolan just does not want to be there in that moment anymore and Runs.

The Boys and Invincible are why i feel so bad for the upcoming Jupiter's Legacy (heck i will even add the watchmen tv show to the mix). All these shows are setup with the "Darkside of Superheroes" in mind, and while they do a good job of coming at it in different ways and have relatively different plotpoints, i'm worried that Jupiter's Legacy and the shows that come after may start to seem a bit meh...

My favorite character currently is Cecil. I think he is one of, if not the best "immoral actions for the greater good" type characters I have seen

Daniel: There's two Supermen stand in--
Me, a geek: actually I would argue that the Immortal is more like "what if Vandal Savage was good, " but please continue.

So glad you watched Invincible. I haven't been able to shut the fuck up about it. I can't wait for the next two seasons, it was stellar.

Invincible has been my favorite comic for years. Seeing Omni-Man’s “Think, Mark” become a meme is something I never thought I’d see, but it makes me so so happy.

"who doesn't have daddy issues?" the show

[ukotoa]

Easily one of Amazon Prime’s best shows but they’re with American Gods and The Boys. I think what I like the most about this show is while it is subverts some accepts, but still keeps that’s Superhero tone and these characters felt so unnaturally charming

[henryorhank]

How could you not mention Debbie? She was such a great character!

[Punkandcannonballer]

The only thing that really bugged me was that Amber knew he was a superhero, but still got pissed ar him for "leaving" in situations.

[michaelandrews]

I need a picture of Daniel (as Mark), laying on the ground, while Pips (as Omni-Man) yells at him about his book buying habits.

[Oscareuh]

How the hell are you able to post so often, going from reviews to full on short films/skits while at the same time write a book?!? This is honestly impressive

The Boys was made by a writer who despises most super-hero tropes. Invincible is a love-letter to the genre from the real world.
The first episode twist came as a shock, because the series is made in the style of a saturday-morning cartoon so our brain is in a nostalgia mode. I bet SW: Empire Strikes Back twist also came as a surprise to our parents, because at the time scifi was mostly seen as "for kids". Game of Thrones also had similar "this is not how a Lord of the Rings clone is supposed to go", but 10 years ago that was less of a kids-genre

[Grudgebearer]

The creators of Invincible would be perfect for an animated “The Poppy War” adaptation. That train scene was some Golyn Nils stuff right there.

[vaidasmasys]

SPOILERS FOR SEASON I actually really liked that Omniman could not kill his son. For me it made total sense. From the very beginning I saw him actually caring about his family in his own fucked up way. As focused on his purpose and calm as Omniman was he had conflicting emotions. That was shown from the very first episode. He tried to keep this family bubble for as long as he can, even though he knew that this family is just a short bus stop for him before the bubble pops.

Daddy Daniel has spoken. I shall spend the rest of my Saturday watching this show.

The end of the first episode forces you to beg "Why?" And I love it. Keeps you coming back.
