That's gonna get altered in some way, right? No way that flies nowadays.

Nah, it's already sorta been soft confirmed to be happening the exact same way as it did in the comics thanks to one episode.

That episode where Mark goes to a future ruined Earth under the rule of an insane Immortal? Yeah, that's what confirmed it, and it's still going to happen. Mark is such a retard that he actually outright caused it in the comics by putting Immortal in charge of Earth with a spiteful and vengeful Robot's brain 'guiding' him. The funniest part about all this is that not only does it mean that Earth is doomed thanks to Mark's choices, it also means that super benevolent Emperor Mark never even goes to check up on Earth for thousands of years, and neither does a single Viltrumite scout or envoy for that matter. Mark I think may be the only motherfucker stupid enough to see a ruined future and then outright CAUSE the ruined future through sheer incompetence.
The flyng magic spaghetti that shamed Mark for dooming the universe or Earth or whatever after he selfishly chose to go back? It wasn't joking at all. Mark doomed Earth. The reboot arc may just be the worst part of invincible, where Mark trades the lives of countless humans, the reputation of his father, the Guardians of the Globe, and who fucking knows how many other people (he would've had a chance to spare Angstrom this time too) and he gave it up all so he could keep pounding Atomic Whore. Not to mention that it clears his own wrongdoing AND he could've gone out of his way to actually HELP Magical Multiverse Negro in the time travel timeline and probably would've just been able to go find his Eve again THAT way.
What a stupid fucking arc. Everything about it was stupid and makes Mark both intensely retarded and literally worse than Thragg. He basically did the equivalent of murdering Rex again so that he can fuck his girlfriend, kek.
FUCK!

Viltrumite supremacy was well-founded. Imagine reducing a race of billions of supermen to fifty and still not standing a fucking chance as an intergalactic government. Holy shit.

But Kirkman basically also made them all jokes at the same time because there's pretty much no reason why they should ever win a fight on Earth since asspull sonic weakness was added.
 
Presumably because the inventor of asspull sonic anti-Veltrumite weapon got put in a jar (again) and whoever tried researching it again mysteriously disappeared.

They said that the entire research wing which developed them was destroyed in the Invincible War. Pretty lame excuse in my opinion, they could've just come up with something better like "oh they only work on mark cause his human part makes his ears different" and left it at that.
 
>Satan is real
>lol, God isn't
>Demons being torture happy monsters are good ACKSHULLY
>Stop looking for salvation in heaven and make one on Earth (Wow, I have totally never heard of this one!)
fuck me, i haven't seen this much fedora tipping since the beginning of the nu-age atheism movement
damien solving murders makes no fucking sense to save himself if he isn't actually saving himself

At least we're finally fucking getting Viltrumite War.

It's about what I've come to expect from Kirkman.
At least now we can add "Literally helping Satan" to Mark's rap sheet of shit he's done. Even if it is "Demons are good, akshually!" style shit.

Everyone interested in the story has already read the original comic and is just watching the show to see their favorite moments done at this point.
Cartoon soy boy Mark and Comic murder man Mark are two different people. One cries like a pussy every episode. The other looks for more people to murder.
 
I’m pretty sure this arc wasn’t in the comics.

Hard to tell if this was put in to sperg religiously in an underhanded fashion or just for fun. It teeters on both sides throughout the episode.
I’m actually not quite done with it, but honestly as casually enjoyable it is, I’d have much preferred another episode revolving around the main plot.

The entire episode I believe is supposed to show Mark that sometimes you need to choose a lesser of two evils, but there is zero nuance because the examples are literally satan and worse-than-satan.

Nitpicking-
•Satan sounds fuckin lame. Should’ve had a cooler voice. He also does jackshit the final fight.
•William.
•Honestly the whole premise could’ve been dropped. Darkblood functioned better with much more of the mystery and cryptic abilities. Now he’s just another cunt with some dumbass backstory. S1 Darkblood was so loved cause he kept the same backstory and lore as the comics, but was made more badass.

I think the new episode was really underwhelming and bordering on being filler, it also was in dire need of a B plot because most of the episode was just Mark listening to Damien lore dumping on him, then you have 3 very underwhelming fights with the second one being offscreen and the final one being more or less a rehash of the fight at the very beginning of the episode.

All the important things happen at the beginning and the end of the episode, Mark gets his original costume back, he now internalizes that sometimes killing someone is the only valid option to save the world, Eve almost tells Mark of the pregnancy and finally, Nolan comes back to earth in order to take Mark to war.

I think this episode was intented as a sort of calm before the storm that the next 4 episodes are going to be and also as a setup for a future villain, it just was a rather boring experience overall.
 
I am re-reading the comics right now, especially the volume where dinosaurus shows up, as he is one of my favorite villains.
It really highlights how different the characters are in the show. Besides the fact that dinosaurus just looks fucking awful and less reptilian in the show, invincible himself is just so much less quippy, charismatic, and intimidating in show. Very subtle dialogue changes and facial expressions in the comics convey how different mark really is between media.
This extends to all other characters as well, little changes here and there adding up that personally irk me.

And also; it’s been said once, it’s been said a million fucking times, both the animation and the art need a severe pick me up. Season 1’s animation and art was more fluid and true to form than the other 3 so far. I’d even just take that studio coming back over any sort of miracle. This shit has just been America’s One Punch Man situation for YEARS, and for whatever reason meat-riders defend it, unlike the OPM fanbase.
Unfortunately I love invincible too much not to watch it. Fuck my life.
 
Reddit-tier "le hell is good actually" shit aside, I liked the episode. Clancy Brown is a huge buff, though. Music was good too.
 
i skipped through both of the big fights. i just don't care to watch some poorly animated fight scene involving two parties i don't give a damn about while some shitty music that's either from the 2000s or 2020s plays. i also don't give a fuck about the extensive hell worldbuilding that boils down to "no you see torturing people makes the creepy crawlies stay in the lava lakes so that the lava woman can't blow up the planet, it's noble" i want to get back to the plot at hand gimme more atom eve agonizing over being pregnant or nolan and allen taking the next step or whatever the fuck. show me whatever the hell doc seismic is up to. fucking machine head. anything else
 
Not sure if anyone noticed this bit of wokery but in one episode where Invincible is dealing with Titan once again, Titan tries to strike a deal.
It fails so Titan runs away and pulls his hood up. Cue to Invincible in a city street surrounded by tons of black guys in the same outfit acting as decoys for Titan.
Invincible grabs one guy by the shoulder to look at him and I shit you not the guy says

“We all look the same to you, hero?”

Jesus fuck if they made it any more obvious a single cell organism would get it.
 
I can't believe they fucked up the first non-gay song in the whole series. The soylent atrophied hands of the animators don't know how to sync fights to fast, heavy music.
