I'm not really into comics but I enjoyed it enough to finish it. The beginning is incredible and you'll want to binge read it as much as possible. But it eventually drags on with little plot development and the overall story stalls. And some of the characters make the absolute most idiotic decisions to the point where it's more of a plot hole than just mere bad writing. Some of the heroes have zero survival instincts.

The ending is also one of the worst endings I've ever read or seen in any medium. It's a comic that had so much potential. But implodes towards the end. But the final panels are pathetic. I thought that they were a joke first time I read them. But nope that was the ending.

Immortal's tier relative to viltrumites is all over the fucking place. He is just Krillin, the human who should be strong in a vacuum but is constantly worfed and killed to gas up the alien villain of the week.

At least with Krillin, his constant Worfing is less of him being weak and morseo the power levels escalating further beyond what him and most of the cast can keep up with and he still had plenty of iconic moments up to the Namek saga and arguably the Cell Saga depending on how impressive you count him pulling 18 is. Meanwhile Immortal seems to have gotten weaker against guys he was previously established to be on par with if not outright superior to like the mark variants and the fucking Mauler Twins of all people ("b-but they had a really good gun" fucking cope, what kind of superhero jobs to a gun?), he has far less established history than Krillin and all his iconic moments are just scenes where he dies, and instead of a hot and strong cyborg wife, he marries a mostly useless teenager. (even if the clone orgies were just THAT good, you're still gonna outlive her and put another ring on another corpse, don't buy the self replicating cow if you can have the self replicating milk for free, a guy his age should know that)
And since I'm talking about this show's shitty powerscaling, why is it that in the fight against the Flaxans, Eve was shown shooting those weak-ass pink lasers and shields against them and almost dying instead of flying around, destroying all their equipment and turning the ground into spikes and shit? Shouldn't this be the one and only exact situation she should absolutely EXCEL in?

Here are some hypothetical easy ways Eve could beat various villains in the show.
- Killcannon. Turn his gun arm into molten lead. And make his visor lose transparency. Helpless and blind.
- Doc seismic. Make his earthquake gloves shoot bubbles. He’s useless without them.
- Mauler twins, turn any weapon they have into rubber ducks, then transfigurate the ground beneath their feet into a vat of acid or something.
- The elephant. Encase him in something an actual elephant couldn’t break through. He doesn’t seem very powerful.
- tall bald gay nigga that turns into magma. Pelt him with dry ice particles until he is begging you to stop.
- short bald gay nigga. Turn the air in his lungs into mustard gas. For the symbiote I’m assuming it’s useless when the host is down. Chuck it into the sun.
- Titan. Telekinetically lift his rock body way up, turn the rock into acid or something else volatile, then drop him 5 stories up.
- Machine head. Literally crush his head.

I can’t think of anything else super creative besides these guys because every other villain in the series, and in fact every villain, should be vulnerable to things such as: air in the lungs being turned into something volatile, weaker opponents simply being dumped in acid, fire, lava, etc. or having it dumped on top of them.

Eve could solo everyone in the show if the writers had the balls and brains to do it.

Since Eve’s limiter only says she can’t alter biologics, she can alter the space directly around them. Yall think Thragg or Battle beast could withstand pure volatile elemental energy entering their ear canal and goopifying their brains?
 
I bumrushed the rest of the comic cause I had a feeling it'd get slow and stale, and I was right. I know the series will change things up, as they already have, but man this shit is a slow burn. The drop in quality and reducing Eve to a "I make-a da bubbles" side character when she used to be cool is enough to make me want to drop it.

I'm just here to see the RAPE.

Kirkman must genuinely be low-IQ.
Take for example the purge. If it was, oh I don’t know, a civil war after the death of the emperor, as tends to happen in history, nobody would have any questions about it because that would just make sense.

Mark puts it together like this in the final issue (don't look it up yourself if you're afraid of spoilers)

The shows changes have been horrible for the overall narrative.

Oh, and Thragg in the comics confirmed it was a civil war after Argall died, so the show really changed it to something infinitely stupider.

See, that actually makes sense. Civil war, or at least just superpowered chimpout rioting checks out more than "as your new leader I command you to jump everyone you see."

Its a generic "MY evil superman knockoff killed a baillion gotrillion more than YOUR evil superman knockoff! HE'S the MOST evil baddie EVAR!"

Its basically "Dude, get this, what if superman, was like, NOT good? Holy shit how insanely subversive and crazy would THAT BE bro!" ~the comic. Its just "superman is evil" repeated for the entire thing. If at any point you ask the question "Okay, superman is evil, now what? Are you gonna actually do anything with the concept?", it loses its entire appeal.

Why the fuck did they make it dumber in the show?

For the same reason half the cast is now nigger or mystery meat, nearly every female character has 40 year old hag lines on her face or a man's jawline, Mark is a massive pussy talking about his feelings nearly every episode, a woman being in the vicinity of a hero makes them a real hero saving lives because that's how that works, and Conquest went on a monologue about how the thing he joyously takes the good with the bad with is really fucking him up inside.

It's been enshittified for the modern audience.
 
The apparent stagnancy of Viltrumite science has been mentioned but something just occured to me - Argall has lost heirs, right? Again, Viltrumite society is so scientifically stunted that they don't have even DNA-testing? They don't keep records of who the Alpha Viltrumite banged/raped? I'm guessing the women he took were too ashamed to reveal they were carrying his babies since they'd admit they'd been overpowered or maybe even the reverse where it was actually Argall who had his bones jumped but telling that would undermine his power.

On the topic of Argall's power, Viltrum seems to have some weird cognitive dissonance about that - surely, if Argall was assassinated, then by Viltrumite logic he'd be weak, right? Because he was taken unawares and was unable to survive the attack. Maybe they have some rule of honour where taking a Viltrumite out by surprise is considered low?

They've apparently changed the lore in the series where Nolan is not Argall's secret heir.
 
You could cope that the DNA archives got destroyed off-screen during the chaos.
 
Wasn't Irredeemable that webcomic where Batman was/is a bum on the verge of bankrupcy, Nightwing was the uber commercial rising star and they both hated the fuck out of each other but still begrudgingly had to work together for some reason?
I think it had that popular 'Suicide Vest of Babies' panel that gets posted every now and then.

that's insufferable
irredeemable is the one where a guy takes over the body of the chick evil superman is crushing over and rapes him in it
that is a thing that happens
 
I meant during the Total Retard War after King of Retards gets stabbed in the brain. Is it the same as Purge? Forgot many details.
 
I am so fulfilled. All the other Viltrumites love me. Everyone talks to me. Everyone wants to be my friend-- They think I am remarkably stable. They send me from planet to planet spreading peace in their name. And as I get better at it, they love me more and more. I am a benefactor of my own success. Conquest. I even get a real name. I am capable of so much more and everyone sees it, they nurture my growth. Some days I feel so happy I could cry, but I don't. I never do. Because everyone in the entire universe would care. Tell this to everyone! ❤️
