Wheeee posted:. in the first couple episodes of invincible we see omni man get beat up and injured by some scrub justice league knockoffs in the process of killing them and also genocide an entire technologically advanced planet almost instantly, there's an incongruence there but the details don't matter because either way he still fills the role of most powerful dude Omniman let himself get beaten up by the members of Global Whatever because he needed to be injured to create the narrative that they were all attacked by someone else. I don't doubt he could have killed them all without effort. Hell, he probably wasn't even that badly hurt. Maybe he spent his entire time in hospital just pretending to be unconscious.

We see why when his wife takes the suit to the tailor - the age of the blood splatter on his suit indicated that he struck first.

I just watched the Atom Eve special and, how to say this, why did they bother? Maybe her past is going to inform a lot of the next season, but the whole thing was such generic YA bullshit.

Panfilo posted:What I don't get is why they need to "weaken" the planet in the first place. When the Viltrumites roll in they'll crush all the resistance anyway. We also don't even get a timetable of when they'll actually show up These aren't comic spoilers because we're far past that point now, but Nolan was supposed to keep the planet safe and remove any threats as they came up. Keep the place nice and tidy until the new masters arrived. Probably advance the technology and whatnot, too. But Earth is a poo poo magnet. Constant storms, floods, earthquakes, alien invasions, interdimensional demons, giant monsters, asteroids, supervillains, pollution, capitalism, etc. He was so busy just trying to keep things from falling apart, he never actually managed to prepare the Earth like he was supposed to.

MonsterEnvy posted:Who’s to say they built all of that and didn’t just steal a lot of that from others. Viltrumites are perfectly capable of flying to other planets under their own power. In the latest episode the bug alien says he's taking Mark a couple galaxies away. Which is a hell of a distance for his dad to fly. But I'm going to put that at the feet of the eternal inability of writers to understand the difference between star systems, galaxies and universes.

The Atom Eve special still seems really pointless to me. Sure, it was an excuse for some fights and gore, but it didn't show anything that couldn't have been done in a small flashback or a few lines of dialogue.

I know the first ever image of a black hole was only a few years* ago, but surely astronerds mathed out how they'd appear decades ago.

^^^ I'm sure there was dialogue in the first season about him writing and working on his latest book. But, thinking on it, given how the show went out of its way to show the books on the curb Chekhov's gun style, maybe he did hide something in them. - I'm going to guess Omni-Man is not all that imaginative a writer and used his own personal experiences from his thousands of years as a conqueror as his inspirations for the books. Sure, he only meant for it to be a cover for his civilian life when he was writing them, but during his time with the bugs, realised it could help mark against the inevitable invasions.

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.

I know it's been a trope since the very first Spider-Man comics, but I'm really sick of "hero tries to attend college and have a regular girlfriend" bullshit. Cecil needs to sit Mark down and tell him that poo poo is just not going to happen. Hell, offer him free tutors and private classes if he still wants to further his education - all government heroes should be getting that poo poo anyway. They should be doing languages, crisis negotiations, electrical engineering, and all sorts of weaponry and military stuff. I assume special forces and secret agent types do training in all sorts of poo poo constantly, why wouldn't you want that for your supes? Your strongest hero who might be called to save the world at a moment's notice should not be distracted by exam stress or worried about missing class.

I suppose when you live for thousands of years, holding off an invasion for two of three years is nothing. Also, they've mentioned that Viltrumites don't fight each other and seem to honestly want Mark to come around to becoming one of them.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Angstrom Levy sure was a nothing villain. Levy would have been far more interesting if they ramped up how he could no longer tell which universe was which and made him a tragic figure, trying to save the universe but no longer able to tell what's real any more. They showed on brief scene where he 'sees' other Marks killing his loved ones across multiple timelines, but then he goes and tries to torture an infant. Serotoning posted:I agree with all of this. Angstrom could have pushed Mark's "how can I be a Really Good Guy as the son of a Really Bad Guy?" button so much more, which he did in the beginning a bit, but it ended up being so rushed into one episode that most of it didn't really stick. He could have taken him to one of the many dimensions where he and his dad have taken over Earth and let him ruminate in the part of his current dimension self that may have sympathies for that and the "good" a Viltrumite occupation does for mankind. Angstrom doing "I'm sorry, I simply cannot take the chance you're different" would have been so much better than what we got and really driven home how hosed up Mark would have been after killing him.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Nolan had an absolutely racist worlview that allowed him to distance himself from relationships he had with "lesser" species, but he did drop his guard for Mark due to his Viltrumite powers. That ended up massively challenging his beliefs since Mark did not share them. I don't think that in any way makes Nolan a good person (and he certainly does not deserve Debbie's forgiveness, though he should apologize to her anyway) but I do think it's a believable and compelling arc. Nolan's moved beyond "they're all untermenschen" to viewing Debby as "one of the good ones" and Mark as pure enough under the Viltrumite equivalent of the 'one drop' rule. He's absolutely not a good person.

Fiction has a horrible habit of doing this sort of thing - having a monster repent and suddenly we're supposed to put all the evil poo poo they did behind them. Mark even talking to him beggars belief - Nolan used his face to murder a train for gently caress's sake.

Nuebot posted:Basically this: there's a character who's entire thing was that he was a huge hyper aggressive rear end in a top hat who would go above and beyond to really gently caress up villains, was excessively hard on his kids and had a weird arranged marriage where he pressured his wife into having kids so he could produce a perfect eugenics super child which culminated in his entire family hating him, one child self destructing in a very literal fashion and his wife having a breakdown and nearly killing one of their children. What the gently caress is it with media and going "abusers aren't that bad really"? Can't even say it's unrealistic, sadly. You see it over and over in the r/relationships thread where people are "Hey, remember that person who was a monster to you growing up and who you cut out of your life? I've secretly been in contact with them and, oops, here they are to meet you!" Only, in the real world, abusers never stop being abusers. The whole "...but family!" is so toxic. Now I'm triply glad I threw that show into the trash.
