I don't think I'll ever understand why writers think that people would act this way towards somebody who could just say "Yeah" and grab them and another nigga by the leg and smash them together in the air with enough force to turn them into a shower of chunky red salsa. Like, at least IRL when niggers sperge out at cops there's actually a percentage chance of them being able to surprise them and kill them, the fuck are you gonna do against the physical god that can lift up icebergs? Didn't this shit also occur after it became public knowledge that Invincible fighting his father ended up killing thousands of people?
Trying to apply real life political problems to literal fucking superheroes is always mega retarded at the best of times. Like I still remember that one time they had Superman's gay son protesting Global Warming or something and not just using his fucking superpowers to fix shit.
Fuck Mark isn't even a fucking human.
The only explanation is that modern writers are complete hylics who have no ability to differentiate between the issues our world faces and the issue that their world would face. At least Marvel TRIED once with the mutants being allegories for jews (Oy vey we're gods chosen people but the un-special goyim want to wipe us out because of jealousy) since they live a world where there's no such thing as a racial disparity in IQ thanks to Kangzland in Africa.
Did this show really need to go all completely blasphemous?
Not to get all spiritual and autistic here, but seriously, that was one of the most anti-religious and r/atheism esque things I’ve ever seen (I hate things that show the devil as being in any way not evil), not to mention being complete filler.
You dont understand it was crucial for Mark to receive a "torture good actually" moral lesson from Satan and then to have an offscreen filler fight with Cerberus (Completely wrong mythology, Kuckman) and then punch Vulcaniggas head off 5 times only for her to go "you haven't seen the last of me!" and disappear. Kirkman needed to tip his fedora and make sure that people knew that just because he confirmed hell existed, heaven didn't.
If Mark wasn't written like a mouthbreathing babboon, he would probably have said "Oh wow that's cool but I'm not helping Satan just direct me to the person threatening to kill the surface." and then punched her through the crust of the earth and into space or something.
According to its creators.....yes. This is the same show with tons of nigger and fag characters and moral social justice commentary every other turn. And has a scene where they mock fans over complaining about the animation.....that was literally animated by slave labor in a North Korean dungeon studio. It's like a parody of a woke comic book but done without any irony or self awareness.
The slavers are lecturing you about tolerance. The yacht and private jet owners are chastising you for using plastic drinking straws. The mediocre writing and production team are astroturfing everyone that this show is the best animated series of all time.
What was the point of this shit episode? Didn't link into anything that came before so far, it felt like that southpark episode that trolled fans after a cliffhanger and had nothing to do with the rest of the series.

I didn't really get any malice from that, just typical self-deprecating shit. It's a bit harder to swallow when you realize a lot of the budget goes towards celebrity VA's, though.
They really upped the ante on the fake deaths. New character with no plot relevance who nobody will miss gets turned into a puddle of spaghetti sauce from the inside out... surely this one can stay dead? Nah she's fine.
No fuckin idea tbh. People were complaining that the Machine Head episode last season was "filler". No, filler is Mark and Damien discussing helmets with Speed Racer-tier animation for five minutes. Little cost-cutting tricks like that must be why the rest of the animation looks so amazing.
At least we got a mummy update (and some trans representation). Looking forward to the Omni-Man/Paul fight in the next episode.

I had higher expectations for the whole hell episode and instead the plot felt like something I'd see in a fanfic. It gave me the vibe of Vox Machina but it's significantly more boring.

Decided to actually watch some of the episodes because I love wasting my time.
My thoughts, so far:
- William's new VA is ass. His old one made him sound like an obvious, but overall normal sounding gay dude. This new guy is platinum grade, 5,000+°F FAGGOT. The type who's voice grates on your ears like nails on chalkboard. Jesus christ, he's got 0 range, too. Fuck me.
- What was supposed to be apparaently good look into the Viltrumites society came off more as a "softening" of current day Nolan's actions. Like a "See, see?! Character B isn't a bad person, it was cause he had [insert sad backstory]! He's just a little baby!" Personally, I hate that shit. I bet that's the exscuse that they'll use to explain why all the 1000+ old Viltrufreaks deserve no fault forgiveness & all the human dick & pussy they want.
I honestly hate the new route they're going with a lot of the Viltrumites. From subtle things like Anissa getting talked down like a child by Kregg (despite her being a grown ass woman [both show & comic] & his implied equal [in comic]) to Conquest's "I'm so lonely" speech. Trying to make is feel sympathy for the literal, willfull GENOCIDERS by making them less alien & more human. It pisses me off because it feels like such a copout. Strange thing is that I liked & was more sympathetic to all of them in the comic. There society was so strange; functioning more like a wasp colony imo. It was truelly alien, subtly cruel, but functional & pretty mundane. I even liked Nolan in the comic. Seeing how he was able to change, adapt, and become more human through influence despite his upbringing was ... nice. I also enjoyed the mystery of his heritage, the unknownness of Viltrumite birth, child rearing/training, & adolescence. Back then, I thought they were grown in tubes, raised by bots, and trained to be soldiers with no influence or care from their parents. It made his character so much more impactful to me & I cooed at the little moments between him & Mark (arm wrestling, watching movies together, his softer telling of Viltrum, the way he reflected to Mark about how Earth changed him,the way they talked to each other, etc). Now, I cannot stand him! It's like they took every potentially good thing about his character & squashed it to make him the "big bad" & now they are trying to downplay his actions thru some sad backstory bs. His brutalization of Mark, his disregard for Debbie, and the slaughtering of the guardians was 10x worse in the show than the comic. His charm was cut in half with him replaced with weird snark. There is barely anytime (not in a flashback) dedicated to him bonding with Mark & exploring his character pre-betrayal. Instead of it being a believably shocking, it's expected.
- The satan episode was pointless filler & only meant to push an edgy-athiest-but-not-really agenda. Like, why does Hell exist without Heaven? Tons of people die in this universe. Are they all doomed to eternal suffereing no matter how good they are on their planet? That's kind of balls. Why give a shit about being good if its all meaningless in the end? How can something be so simultaneously self-deprecating, but also preachy? The fights were boring as shit & I did not care about anything.
-Mark remains abysmal as a main character. All the charm, snark, and wittyness from his early comic self is dead. Now it's just "woe is me, I have to do my fucking job! I have to protect & keep my planet safe& stop horrible people from doing horrible things!" Boo-fucking-hoo. His relationship with Atom Potentional is astronomically boring, his powerlevel fluctuates worse than a troon's hormones, & he keeps having to relearn the "killing bad people is ok" lesson over and over! I hate this bitchmade version of him. I miss cocky, rude but funny, consistent, and genuinely caring old Mark.
In fact, everything is so weirdly serious, but not in any good way. It feels so low energy. The plotlines range from slogs to expected comic points. The fighting only meets expectations (for the big important moments), but NEVER exceeds them. Syre, some character improved:
- Debbie
- Rex
- Rudy
- Amanda
- Allen's gf
- Oliver
- MultiPaul
Others stayed about the same (which is to say, still pretty good):
- Brit
- Donald
- Machine Head
- Thragg (hopefully)
Everyone else got worse or was completely changed (sometimes neutral, often worse). Every season after the first seems more and more tedious to get through. And this is what people are calling peak?!
I'm genuinely trying not to hate because I liked the comics (reading Battle Beast rn). Yet, this shit is aggregious. Dropping this after this season ends & just looking up the actually interesting episodes.
If they hired semi-big, talented VA youtubers to the voices instead of celebrifags maybe the animation wouldn't look like shit. I get the main cast being big names but why does every fucking one off villain/background character have to be voiced by someone famous? It just feels like an excuse for Kirkman to rub shoulders with his favorite celebrities and have them recognize his work.
