Someone mentioned it a page or two ago, but its super distracting that they just cast a bunch of famous names who are just... speaking. So instead of voice actors its just many big names speaking exactly the same as their normal voices, so I'm constantly yanked out of the scene. Hard to explain. but yeah

I thought Charlize Theron was fine but Matthew McConaughey was too distracting. I certainly agree that voice and regular acting aren't 1:1 skill sets, but I think for the most part the acting's been really good. Especially with the Grayson family, Steven Yeun and Sandra Oh are doing great, and of course JK Simmons is particularly fantastic. I've said I like Goggins as Cecil quite a bit as well. But yeah, why didn't they have Jennifer Grey just do a couple of different voices for the one-episode appearance of the Green Ghost and War Woman instead of hiring Sonequa Martin-Green and Maggie Cohen for six lines each? I guess my concern is more that, for example, Steven Yeun is going to win an Oscar and then either his price tag is going to go too high or the project will become too small for him. Of course they got two other oscar winners voicing characters so maybe Bezos is just pouring cash into it.

I had no idea until I looked on IMDb that every Guardians of the Globe member was voiced by a Walking Dead actor, which is a fun little Easter Egg. I'm digging the show so far, though I have a pretty vague memory of reading the TPBs years ago, I just remember it really falling apart in the last third or so, and the story lines feeling like they got repetitive.

It feels weird that they do this with so much of the cast and then they literally cast Grey Griffin as Monster Girl and Shrink Rae, who are in multiple scenes together. She's kind of a long mainstay in voice acting I know but the entire rest of the cast is made up of very notable actors like Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, JK Simmons, etc.

I assume they were getting people because they could, voice work during covid is a lot easier than showing up to a set.

VagueRant posted:Everyone says the costume looks DC Comics character Nightwing (who is the same Grayson that used to be Robin) so I always figured it was an intentional homage. I figure this too, but it feels weird to me because aside from the homage stuff he doesn't seem much like Nightwing to me. though maybe the story goes more in that direction later. I do like the alien-son pun there too though.

I do wonder how much of the budget is going to the voice actors. Most of the animation has been good but I wonder if it could be better in the acting scenes if they had more animation budget, or if it’s really a question of schedule and this is the best animation the team can generate in the time provided.

It is a bit strange that this animated show based off an obscure independent comic has the most stacked cast of anything streaming right now. The animation is also nothing amazing, though I really like how true it is to the comic. I feel they could've hired a more b-list cast and made a few season for the same money, not that I am complaining. Kirkman is planning on 6-7 seasons if they can, and the analytics are showing it's getting a huge number of streams

I don’t remember where I read it, but Steven Yeun made it seem like he’s in it for the long haul (book spoilers) Mark ages from a teenager to an adult and a parent in the comics, Steven talked with Kirkman and said he’s purposefully playing Mark’s voice as younger in this first season because he knows how much the character grows and wants the voice to age with the character. E: it’s from this nytimes interview with Kirkman, but there are book spoilers in the link, so here’s the relevant quote from the article. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/13/...tp1LcYlOTEZHp14 quote:While the series has just started, he and Yeun already have Mark’s future in mind. “In the very earliest recording sessions, Steven pulled me aside and said, “I’m trying to play him as very young and naïve because I know where the character goes and I want to be able to change my voice over time,’ ” Kirkman said. “I don’t know exactly how many seasons the show will run at this point, but the goal is to tell that complete story.” ruddiger fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Apr 14, 2021 |

Kirkman stunt casted the guardians of the globe with walking dead actors. They did 1 day of a VO session a year or two ago. I wouldn’t read too much into it.

Still really enjoying this adaptation, quite like all the little timeline and character changes so far IMHO it's all been for the better.

People I know who don’t read comics and aren’t even fans of Marvel movies are giving Invincible a try. So that bodes very well for its appeal.

The over saturation of superhero media does mean that people are much more familiar with the typical tropes of the genre and I guess therefore much more receptive to works that play with the genre conventions, like the Boys or Invincible. So someone already adapt Nexwave!

I guess this pretty much confirms a season 2 is coming, unless the first season really underperforms.

Having just re-read I mainly wonder if they end at chapter 2 of volume 3 for a huge cliffhanger or if they end at the end of that same volume. I suspect the last scene in volume 3 will be the after-credits on the finale.

Re: robot Maybe all the charter about "good algorithms" is to foreshadow some thing about him having living parts or making himself a body, but I assumed he was just a robot and the cloning was for the monster girl. Though I see I'm the only one who thinks that. Was there an explicit scene of him taking what's his faces blood?

Yeah, if I remember right in the scene where Robot tells Rex not to get in some hosed up relationship with Monster Girl, he puts his hand on Rex's shoulder and Rex goes ouch. At first it's meant to look like he just squeezed Rex's shoulder hard to make his point, but as Rex walks away, the camera shows that Robot is retracting a needle with blood on it into his arm. Don't know if I need to spoiler that since it was before the last episode.

The only Savage Dragon I've read is the few pages that were going around blogs where people were freaking out about how outrageously sexual it had gotten. It's easier to make sense of the violence in Invincible in context to the Image comics line. They've always been about over the top violence. Invincible thankfully partnered that with a good story.

Ep 6: Atom Eve can totally create money with her powers, right? Handing out stacks of cash to charities would also be a great help. She can do it between saving random hikers  I feel like Amber was way too hard on Mark for "running off". Most people would run off in terror from the loving murder cyborg. I know it's supposed to be the tipping point because of all the other stuff in the relationship, but between that and her breaking up with him because she thought he got hit by a car, she really does not come off well. This hidden outfit plotline is terrible. I can't imagine that someone like Cecil wouldn't have done analysis like the costume maker did. And it still doesn't explain why Nolan kept the loving thing. Deb has got some big loving balls though, telling Nolan off like that. I wonder what the twins will do with Immortal's body as their insurance policy against Robot. I also wonder how they knew where it was. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Apr 16, 2021 |

Nobody’s buying that though so maybe his idea is to plant it on someone more realistic? It’s a new subplot for the show, though, and really it’s just something for Deb to do
