Ending was simply meh, I am stronger than you because I care nigga he can rip you in half with his bare hands and has 1000s of years more combat experience than you.

It could go with the existing gimmick of everyone (except Yakub) is not a complete monster so why not just talk it over? and write Freddy Mercury fucking off after Mark points out he killed more Viltrumites than anyone else combined. Give him a sequel-hook quip like "Our empires will clash and the winner will lead New Viltrum to glory... eventually" or something.
I preferred that one three post greentext that one anon did in the previous thread.
 
Well, it's over

I originally liked the ending, but that was when my standards were far more lax as I wasn't much of a writer myself. Mark becomes his own antithesis. In fact, Mark couldn't be really said to believe in anything. He's just a plot device after Viltrumite War. Really, everyone is. It's fucking ridiculous.

And Kirkman, IIRC, has said he wants to add more original plotlines. Because that fantastic Hell episode no one liked was such a promising addition. People are going to turn on this harder and faster than they did every other slop of the past ten years.

or just magically becoming a different person
The funniest part about the ending is that Mark manages to prove both Thaddeus and Thragg right at the same time. Though considering the fate in store for Earth, I'm not so sure that Mark's empire is quite as fantastic as the story is trying to pretend it is.

Mark should never have recovered from being infected by the scourge virus. The fucking fact that he was given the opportunity to fix everything and spat in everyone's face for his own selfish ends makes him more evil than Thragg.
At least Thragg believed in something. Mark only does what immediately benefits him.

I saw that post several times throughout the storytime.
good fucking lord, kirkman is a hack or is so stupid he has to pretend like he intentionally made mark one of the most retarded protagonists to ever live
 
A complete nobody's opinion about a show no one cares about:

I like the gore, wow, shocker. An Invincible watcher likes the gore? It's basically the only consistent thing in the entire show. I like how flashy it is with its gore as well, not straying away from it. The most boring fights are definitely the ones where it's just invincible people punching one another, very Marvel-esque.

Speaking of Marvel, the animation quality is basically on-par if not worse than those Marvel cartoons on TV. Ultimate Spider-Man and whatnot. It's annoyingly static and sometimes has the Family Guy-quirk of only having the currently talking character actually moving. Just because the show is self-aware about their animation being lazy doesn't excuse it from still being lazy. I don't get the S4 animation critique, it just looks the same as all other seasons.

How does the economy of this version of Earth even function on a day-to-day basis. I could suspend my disbelief when it was just an alien invasion ruining an entire cityblock. But Earth shattering events are happening on a yearly basis now. One gigantic catastrophy I could believe that it wouldn't fuck up the economy, but multiple? In the same decade? No fucking way.

The first season, thousands if not hundreds of thousands were killed by Omni-man and Invincible's fight. It means thousands if not hundreds of jobs were made available and out-of-commission. The entire cityscape has turned to rubble and made even with the ground. The amount of money needed to even rebuild a block would cost millions upon millions, especially in such a densely populated area as Chicago.

One event of this scale would lead to a depression with the resulting job losses, one of which the U.S. would never recover from. The U.S. Dollar would tank in value, the economic collapse would have catastrophic consequences akin to post-WW1-pre-WW2 Germany. Importing goods would be monetarily impossible to do, leading to a certain kind of famine.

Also, the entire show summarized:
1779629574377.png1779629574377.png

Overall, probably the best part of the entire show. I found the introduction of leading straight into Omni-man's reveal of having killed the entire Justice League (can't be fucked to use their made-up name), to probably be worse than not doing so. Maybe I'm in the minority on that one, but I like to think MARK, THINK while I watch a show instead of just sitting there awaiting the inevitable.

The CGI is abominable, I know I'm fucking autistic about those things but god-motherfuckin'-damn if it isn't obvious when 3D animation is used. I'm sure Amazon, with all its mighty wisdom and infinite money, couldn't find a way to make it more seamless.

I found that this was one of the seasons whereby I did actually give a shit at what happens every single minute of the show instead of just buzzing out some of the time because I literally just didn't give a shit. I'm a solid Amber-Mark supporter all the way, I can't give a SINGLE FUCKING SHIT ABOUT MARK AND EVE, STOP THINKING I GIVE A SHIT, AMAZON. EVE IS FUCKING BORING.

J.K. Simmons and Omni-man do truly carry the entire fucking Season on their back. All the cool and interesting moments are with him, literally no one gives a shit about the two faggots' dialogue, no one gives two shits about Amber being a stupid whore throughout the entire show, no one fucking cares about Mars.

I like my boy Angstrom, when he's not a complete fucking idiot and psychopath that you can't even resonate with because how the fuck could you? I could see myself liking him, but gosh oh my, we must have Mark be a total and complete fucking idiot along with Angstrom also being a complete fucking idiot because plot or something. He made this entire fucking gigantic machine, all of his gigantic brainiac powers to make that thing, yet he apparently fails to comprehend that he SHOULDN'T TAKE THE FUCKING HELMET OFF??? How the fuck could I get behind a guy that's completely fucking retarded? I can't fathom why I should root for any of the two, they're both completely retarded in this situation.

What's worse, he's only in TWO FUCKING EPISODES of the season. I just have to give a shit after 6 episodes of not seeing him? Furthermore, he's a complete fucking douchebag. I can't see a clear way of rooting for him seeing as he's literally an amalgamation of hudrends if not thousands of multiverses, all having a different interpretation of Invincible. It's literally explained that he's a fucking stupid retard because of this. It's not threatening, it's annoying. He's an annoying motherfucker.

The amount of satisfaction I got from him getting the absolute shit getting beaten out of was so immense that it got to be my favorite episode of the season. Finally having that annoying piece of shit getting fucking mashed to pieces felt better than sex, at least they did that right.

Allan is my highlight of some of the episodes, he's actually a charming side character.
I just saw he's voiced by Seth Rogen, there goes my enjoyment.

I actually do enjoy the side stories more than the main Mark/Invincible plot, Mark I just find so boring. It's mostly just his personal life, which is the most BORING SHIT ON THE GODDAMN PLANET. Yeah I like the action during it, but that's not his personal life. Imagine that, though, Mark as Mark fighting, I don't know, William or something. Now THAT'd be funny.

Oh, Angstrom was dead? FUCK YOU, no he's fucking not. Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

Are we fucking serious here? The main conflict is that Mark isn't ethical with having bad guys convert to good guys? This is the moral dilemma? This is utterly fucking retarded. This is just infuriating to watch. What the fuck do you mean, Mark. These guys have fucking helped you multiple fucking times over.

It feels like such a made up drama to split people apart just to split people apart instead of something deeply rooted in their characters. "I'm not going because I like Cecil actually because uhh", huh?

It's really fucking impressive that the fucking kid character is the least annoying and most likable character out of the entire season. Some companies spend millions upon millions to do that, all Amazon did was just make everyone else unlikable assholes.

E4 and E5 just feel like complete fucking filler that I do not care a single fuck about. Oh no you need to kill our king in the future, because... uhhh... he doesn't want to commit suicide. Uhh, okay? Oh yeah and that DEI graduate is back again, because, uhh, funny? Not like both of them have plot relevance.

We have another shitstain of a fucking "villain" that just annoys the fucking shit out of me every time he's on screen, something something electical signals. I can't even be bothered to remember his name. He hates Mark because... uhh. he indirectly killed people. Not like he actually killed people. Okay, so, how could I relate to this again? 'Cause he's a retard and I'm also a retard, no I don't think that works exactly.

I, once again, don't give a single shit about Mark's personal life. Stop thinking I care. If one would count Oliver as part of his personal life, then I guess I do give a shit about that. He's actually somewhat interesting, he actually fuckin' murders the villains, for once, thank fucking God.

YES, EVE FINALLY DIE-- NOOOOO, WHYYY, I FUCKING HATE HER, PLEASE JUST FUCKING KILL HER ALREADY. WHAT IS THIS DEUS EX MACHINA SHIT?

Also; I LOVE MULTIVERSES, I LOVE MULTIVERSES, I LOVE MULTIVERSES!!! PLEASEEEE, MORE SLOP WITH MULTIVERSES, I LOVE THEM AND THEY'RE TOTALLY NOT LAZY GIMMICKY SLOP.

I'm glad this stupid piece of shit finally realized he should KILL the people that do nothing but harm, took him a fucking while, Jesus. But, oh no, that's bad 'n' stuff. Because, uhh, yeah. Stupid. They make death such a disposable thing that why even care about it? Mark fucking dies twice or even more times than I remember, but he just comes back again, even with his fucking organs pulled out, does death even matter with him? Oliver fucking dies, Omni-man dies, but who cares, they're Viltrumites, they just heal back up and poof, they're back. Wow, that's pretty meaningless, why should I care.

I'm very much pleased by having more backstory rather than just going on-and-on-and-on-and-on with the main, getting more boring and convoluted as it goes on, plot. The brain slug things are truly just there whenever they feel like they should be, They're on Earth now! Because, uh, we just feel like it.

Universa is just, uh, there. Saturday-morning cartoon villain just there to fill up space instead of, I don't know, any of the other electricity maniacs? You probably didn't even remember she existed at all.

They made Oliver more annoying, for fuck's sake. He's still my favorite character overall second to always-reasonable Cecil. My favorite moment obviously being Oliver and his dad bonding some, it's sweet, and the episode doesn't feel like filler, at least, fuckin' episode 4.

And, as glad as I am to see this, people are truly dispising Episode 4 of absolutely true filler. They really just thought "yeah, that character from Season 1, let's do something with him again because, uhh, who knows, I just like the guy". Volcanikka's hot, though, literally.

Who the fuck is this girl that just shows up out of fucking nowhere? Allen was just like, yeah there's just this girl I know on Earth, let me just get her to kill the most invincible and strongest species in the entire universe. The absolute fuck? She's fucking 10, what the fuck is she going to do instead of someone like Immortal, who actually stands a chance? They got a mythical killing beast, who loses to them, but they still get this fucking kid? And she lives? What?? One fucking stare from Viltrumites and she'd be dead. THE MYTHICAL KILLING BEAST GOT BTFO'D BUT NOT THE 10 YEAR OLD CHILD??

The spectacle in here is pretty cool, but it's just mostly spectacle. Viltrumites can literally kill by playing rock-paper-scissors with their enemies and always picking paper, but they just choose not to? The fuck? They're here to literally kill all of you, why don't you just slice them in half? Do you have to gather your strength before you can do that? That's never even been established, you can just do that willy nilly, whenever you feel like it. They said that they do it because "they enjoy the time spent" killing them all, instead of just doing it, but what kind of retarded answer is that? You either fucking kill them or they kill you. What is this stupid padding bullshit?

Eve got a fucking abortion lmaooooo. Stupid whore. She also fat, looooool.

The last episode is such a nothingburger of an episode, all it did was say that Viltrumites now live on Earth, oy vey. At least Mark gave the actual good fucking answer for once. No shit, you'd choose just to let them live among you, what the fuck else? Have some hope that they'll convert like Omni-man did, he was completely indoctrinated from birth too, why wouldn't it work on others? That they children they'd birth also won't be like you, who protect the Earth and its people? All I see is a massive win for everyone, you literally destroyed everything they have and then some, they caved and went to your planet to breed superbabies who will also be subject to pro-Earth propaganda. All this would need would be another fucking Auswitz with the Scurge Virus to be spread all among the Earth's atmosphere and you'd be done, one episode. Are we reallly blue-balling everyone here that bad?

Can I be bothered to watch Season 5 when it comes out? Probably not. It just feels like I'm getting dragged along instead of walking or even running along for the ride. Episodes can feel like such a drag to even continue watching, they're interesting in the fact that I've already started so I might as well finish it. But I watched Season 1 in 2021 and only now return to the show to watch the rest because I heard , that's how much I cared about continuing.
 
The first half is great. The second half is utterly awful. The ending is one of the most laughable series of panels in comic book history.
i just have mark waid's stupid face in my mind screaming "I MADE SUPERMAN! I MADE SUPERMAN! I MADE SUPERMAN! I MADE SUPERMAN!"

jesus christ, why do all the edgy hacks have such similar fucking names?
Warren Ellis, Garth Ennis, Mark Millar, Mark Waid
was god having a laugh?
 
Última edición:
The Mauler Twins were such fun characters and they killed them like they were nothing.
Realistically they had to, and honestly I'm surprised they didn't kill them off WAY earlier considering that their big thing (they can clone things) would have literally been the perfect way for Nolan to repolulate the Vitrumite empire cleanly. It's absolutely fucking bizarre that everyone knows about their power yet doesn't take advantage of it, Cecil can't even get his team to deconstruct the machine to see how it works etc.

Honestly I'm still enjoying the show (bar the hell episode) and have no issue with the animation style, but it's really funny how this comic was originally meant to be seen as the 'ultra counter-culture break the rules of comics' comic and yet despite being fun and graphic it absolutely requires you to just turn your brain off and consoom because every single fucking character in the show is a retard whose power scales up or down depending on the situation. I guess it's just that age old saying of when everyone is powerful, nobody is and that's one of the fucking reasons why Superman's home planet was destroyed from the get go because a PLANET of Supermen is just impossible to scale properly.

The funniest part is that Kuckman also realized this so the planet of supermen got turned to "about 40 supermen, most unnamed."
I keep saying it but Invincible is for comic "fans" who aren't actually comic fans, they're just people who think their subversive shlock is somehow new, but even the main selling point (evil superman) was done by DC first with Ultraman in 196-fucking-4.

To paraphrase Norm Macdonald, To truly make a good deconstruction or parody of something, you actually need to like that thing, and Kirkman seems to have a very surface level of engagement with DC comics.
 
Invincible at least is self-contained and not infinite crossover slop
>spinoffs

lol lmao bbq even
For me the problem with invincble spinoffs is that everything feels like bootlegs of DC comics with some Marvel. So why not just read the real deal?

Invincible itself got people interested because the Viltrumites, but it's overall not a very original universe. With very few exceptions the characters feel like Venture Bros parodies.

Love the Old tech jacket? Them why not just read blue beetle or green lantern for sci fi instead. Like The new girl tech jacket? Why not just actually read some Peni Parker, or Miraculous Ladybug. I mean it Is a kid's cartoon but thats were they ripped her off, Etc.

Cheap subversions and bootlegs Saiyan Kryptonians it's all it has going for it.
