Hughlander posted:Holy poo poo, I didn't realize that Thaedus is voiced by a now 82 year old Optimus Prime! I'm kinda frustrated by the show at this point, and hell I fell off pretty quickly on the comic too. I think Robert Kirkman has a talent for creating a world but I just fundamentally don't like the way he progresses stories or something. Like I'm catching up on Harley Quinn and I'm realizing I think it actually does a lot of what Invincible tries to to but better. It's funnier, while still taking its main characters seriously enough to tell genuine comic book stories, while also not shying away from the gruesome nature of its slant on the story. The way the insanely violent stuff in this show is playing out in season 2 feels more like endless attempts to recreate the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones. But like... you can only get so much mileage out of the shock value before it just becomes obnoxious that the characters keep reverting to Teen Drama characters immediately after something insane happens. I don't think they're meaningfully subverting any superhero cliches, they're just being a lot more gruesome in the way they play out.

Yeah I'm trying to be upfront that I can't really blame the show as an adaptation. I think it accurately reflects Robert Kirkman stuff which it turns out becomes a problem for me pretty fast.
