I thought this season (which, as far as I know was what these four episodes were commissioned as before Amazon ordered another eight) was kinda sloppy and mediocre. I don't think it did a good job condensing what's a fairly busy show down to four episodes, resulting in a lot of parallel go nowhere plotlines -- the third episode was by far the worst at this. The first half is a self contained Allen thing (good) but then it randomly stops and the back half is a bunch of subplots that play out with that typical soap opera structure (i.e. lots of cutting, no macro structure). They'd probably have done better to have cut the entire teen titans aubplot, since it accomplishes nothing and basically exists as its own separate siloed show within a show. Also I don't like the characters, which doesn't help much. As for the finale, I found the Nolan subplot a bit contrived (with the dramatically convenient arrival of the Viltrumites), but the biggest thing that stood out to me was how dumb Mark was. His first reactions to finding out about Nolan's new family is racism -- IMO clearly part of the arc here, where the character is getting darker and more hostile -- but then there's this ludicrous "you left mum for another woman" stuff which sort of implies Mark wants his parents to get back together. All that I basically buy, since Mark really doesn't strike me as particularly bright, though I reckon Nolan's redemption tour is a bit harder to get on board with. Not sure i buy the show's argument that his emplacement as supreme leader of the bug people was entirely consensual tbh.

I mean, Nolan telling Mark that his wife and son are replaceable and then going to another planet and immediately having another wife and kid is going to hurt even if Mark doesn't actually expect his parents to reconcile from the whole mass murdering thing.

Yeah, like I said, I buy that. It's also just really funny that he's seen his dad mass murdering hundreds of people and watched his mother fall into chronic depression and he's still holding a candle for them. There's no switch in his head that's flipped for the guy, because on some subconscious level he doesn't really see these problems as deal breakers. He's inherited the same biases as his father, basically. His whole thing about his dad's new partner being a bug isn't that different to his father calling Debbie a pet, really.

I think they've kiiiinda smartened Mark up from the comics, but not by much. I mean, he's still 18. Paralleling with Eve, it seems that they want to both show that they're inexperienced but can still be helpful.

I think we're looking at the implications of Mark getting mad at Nolan for starting a new family too literally. Getting mad at that doesn't mean he really wants to do a Parent Trap to get them back together, but it's understandable that some part of him, on a deep emotional level, would love for things to just snap back to how they were before his dad revealed himself as a fascist monster and called his mom a pet. Regardless, Nolan loving off and near immediately remarrying could be taken as a blunt expression of how little Mark and Debbie meant to him.

Youtube has decided to show me endless Invincible shorts for future events in the comics. I only read a few of the comics before I tapped out, but goddamn, it got really stupid. I'm talking daytime soap but with superheroes level stupid. Also, loving youtube always does this with any show. Search one time to find something out and you get a thousand 'creators' with untagged spoilers and the most unbelievably inane commentary imaginable.

Yeah, the way I take it is, Mark's seen Debbie really struggling these past months, and then he gets to see Nolan showing off his brand new family seeming to have landed right on his feet. He doesn't want them back together, but he wants a sign that the relationship meant as much to Nolan as it did to Debbie, he wants to see his dad hurting the way his mom is.

I also feel like it's rather scummy to just make a new family, then hook your old son back in because you need his help, and then try to emotionally guilt trip him with "This is your brother, though".

I think that was the idea - Nolan is trying to ignore his moral code because it's conflicting with his Viltrumite heritage. He has had a taste of real love in Mark and it's acted as a gateway drug - the realisation that mark would have been happy even with Nolan as the only constant broke him. He went to the bug planet after saving them, probably not expecting to get attached as they were barely a lifeform to him, but then he fell in love with one but now it was different. Now it wasn't just his wife and new child he had that he cared about, it started to extend beyond potential Viltrum assets to her friends and colleagues, and then to her whole race. He personally kills millions of humans to make a point and doesn't blink an eye, until "I'd have you" breaks a hole in the dam. He's learned to do something very addictive that the Viltrumite empire bred out of itself long ago - he's learned to love. Hence his reaction to the carnage on bug planet. He didn't feel the same as he did on Earth, it was a far greater level of pain. Hence his question, desperately trying to figure out what broke him as a loyal Viltrumite - "Why do I care?!"

Nah, imdb (owned by Amazon) was reporting two seasons of four episodes over a year ago -- I posted about it here in December last year, but I'm pretty sure I'd known about this for a few months at the time -- and this episode was very clearly designed as an intentional break. I'd say they changed their plans, but in the sense that they gained another eight episodes and not because they decided to get four episodes out earlier than the others. It was always the plan to get these four episodes out before the others, because they were originally the entirety of season two. Edit: Yeah, imdb was reporting this since February 2021: https://web.archive.org/web/20220201192119/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6741278/episodes/?season=2, and while I know anyone can edit that site, to me it seems a remarkable coincidence that they'd be wrong about the upcoming season in this very specific way. If you're gonna be an eager beaver and put up the episodes without any knowledge, you put up two seasons of eight episodes and not two seasons of four.

I looked for one clip to show someone something, and now half of my recommended videos are just clips from the latest season but with all the blood lazily edited to be different colours, presumably to avoid automatic copyright detection. My personal favorite is the one that made the blood brown so it just looked like everyone was making GBS threads.
