Show seems interesting enough so far. I do like that all the episodes are 40+ minutes. I think the scene at the end of ep1 with Omni-man versus the Guardians should have been shot better? I can't think of a better word. The way he effortlessly destroyed that entire planet but got put into a coma from a few punches really doesn't add up in my head. Or I guess it also goes to show just how powerful the Guardians were, even though it didn't translate that well to the actual fight.

Wheeee posted:idk end of ep1 it's pretty clear that nolan was sandbagging it to let himself get hurt in service of his alibi, as soon as he decided to he put them right down I didn't see it that way. It seems like he really did try and just got his rear end beat into a coma. I mean Cecil was perfectly happy to assume that some supervillains did it. Him being there just raises more questions. I doubt anyone would have even suspected him at all if he wasn't there.

Ep 5: Of course principal of Reginal Vel Johnson high school is named Winslow  I got a bad feeling Nolan is going to do something terrible to Deb if she keeps digging into this. Not really loving the Marc keeping secrets from Amber subplot, but hopefully it's done with after the ending. Good twist with Titan at the end. Nolan is never going to let Marc forget he was right.

twistedmentat posted:Man Omni-man probably watches the whole thing, knowing he could have stopped it, but didn't because street level crime is beneath him. Zaphod42 posted:I kept expecting this to come into play but If Omni-man saw his son get beaten he'd vaporize everybody in the room instantly, so no he couldn't have been watching Probably works into his mindset to teach Mark a lesson. And if he dies oh well  . Or maybe he knows that Mark wouldn't die because he's half viltrumite.And he was almost certainly watching. There was the shot of him hovering nearby watching the penthouse and then Mark catches a glimpse of him before he passes out.

Maybe I missed something but why would Nolan keep his old bloodied costume around? If it's some sort of trophy or memento from killing the Guardians, then he wouldn't keep it hidden(badly) in a trash bag. Should've just tossed it into the sun. Not like he doesn't have a spare undamaged costume. Maybe it will get addressed later but that kinda stood out to me.

Doom2020! posted:Titan mentioned Mark fighting a guy in an elephant costume but we haven't seen that in the show right? I thought it was Elephant Man that Mark was flying through town when Titan's daughter asked if he was a good person. Robot probably has his own agenda. I don't think it's anything to do with the Guardians or he would have given them a sample of their blood instead of Rex's. Omniman is definitely a dickhead. He wasn't mind controlled. He's probably clearing the field for a viltrumite invasion, based on what he said to the Flaxans before he hosed up their whole planet

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 |

Another ep6 thing: There was not enough follow up from ep5. Mark(does he even know they took down Machinehead? I can't remember if he passed out before or after that) didn't go check up with Titan. Nolan didn't give Mark some "I told you so" speech. Hell, even Deb just let Mark go on a roadtrip a week after he almost died. I guess the last one is more of a minor nitpick, but you would think she would still be a bit more concerned but I guess he heals quickly so I don't think I liked this episode much at all.

Heliotrope posted:I figured he wasn't planning on staying around but the team put up enough of a fight to knock him out. If he had been able to leave after killing everyone, he might not have been suspected.  Open Source Idiom posted:I'd argue that'd make him more suspicious. Attention is drawn to him by virtue of him not being there. That doesn't make sense. Cecil's first suspects were supervillains. If Nolan hadn't been there, he probably wouldn't even have been considered. Or he could have lied and said he was doing some other hero poo poo in space. Until this incident, there was no reason to suspect that he would even do such a thing. What Nolan should have done is just pick off the stronger ones solo, then left all the scrubs to clean up at a later date. And by pick off I mean pick up and throw into the sun. One at a time. Clearly he's not good at planning. e: It would be like if Superman wasn't part of the Justice League and then the whole league was murdered. He's been humanity's friend and a hero for decades! He's even worked with them on multiple occasions. Why would Superman kill the Justice League? CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Apr 17, 2021 |

Ep7: Boy, that escalated quickly. So Nolan says he needed the uniform to take care of Darkblood but that still doesn't explain poo poo. He definitely hosed up by not chucking it into space. Okay Amber sucks. Well I guess we know what Robot's deal is.  old prune body. Hello Rexplodebot. lol the reason for picking Rex.I can't wait for the finale next week.

Does Rudy have Rex's powers now since it's a cloned body? Did the Mauler Twins take some of Immortal's DNA to make new clone bodies for themselves? Seems like they should have as it would probably be a huge upgrade. CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Apr 24, 2021 |

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:He's the settings Superman, of course he's going to go all destruscto when he wakes up from death. You didn't do anything wrong re: spoilers. quote:SPOILER RULES: Are you talking about something that's already aired in an episode on the East Coast? Then you don't need spoiler tags. Are you talking about something that you only saw in a preview, or a commercial, or or due to a leaked ANYTHING? Then you need spoiler tags. Casting information is not a spoiler. Unless it obviously IS a spoiler, like a recurring character that was presumed dead or something coming back. Honestly, just use common sense. Netflix shows "air" all at once, so once they go up, there's no need for spoiler tags in that show's thread. You should still use them in other threads that might mention the show for at least a month. poo poo like this falls under the "common sense" clause. People generally spoiler stuff from episodes for a day or two after they are released just to be polite, but they don't have to. gently caress I can't wait for the finale tomorrow.

Just Chamber posted:The biggest sin is William doesn't realise Mark's dad is Omni-Man, when he's surely the most recognizable man on the planet. You can't even use the Clark Kent wears glasses and has different body language excuse. Same reasoning that no one recognized Atom Eve: people see what they want to see and aren't looking for heroes all the time or whatever she told Mark. Also William did address him as Mr Grayson in ep7.

Ep 8: Chuckling a bit at their Nietzsche olympics. "I can't let you interfere." That 2 shots where the people turned into CG as Mark was crashing into Chicago was very odd. The animation improved drastically. The train scene was hilarious and brutal. So when Nolan flew into the atmosphere and his suit burned off, is he just wearing like 10 layers of costumes? Jfc gently caress off with this relationship poo poo. I thought it was over but I guess not. 2nd half of the episode kinda dragged, but the final montage made me glad the show was renewed for 2 more seasons. e: I have to wonder how advanced some of these 1000 other planets are if 1 Viltrumite can't keep the whole place in check after they have been conquered  since Nolan said their forces were being spread thin so they had to devise this new strategy. Or maybe a bunch of them kept dying during the invasions idk

But fresh bubbling pizza? Viltrumite force: Nolan doesn't have to explain poo poo or he will make you explode into a bloody mess if you keep pressing the issue. And speaking of things that don't make sense: I am really surprised at how easily everyone seems to have let Rudy off the hook with what he did. That was seriously messed up and at the very least he should be kicked off the team for freeing the Mauler Twins. And that's not even getting started with what he did to Rex.

bigperm posted:In one episode of The 4400 (I think...) there was a scene where some group had used their super powers to turn some huge desert into harvest-ready farmland - but I don't think it was ever addressed in the show again, and if that is actually the show I am remembering, it's just about the only thing I remember from it because it was such a powerful idea - global civil engineering or whatever you want to call it. That was The 4400 and it was a really good twist. Everyone was expecting it to be some sort of terrorist attack but instead they did that.

starkebn posted:If the new guardians are the primo supers on the planet, then earth is in dire straights if Omni-Man comes back wanting to take over. Eve and Mark are so far above that group in power level it's comical really. I bet even not-Batman could have kicked the poo poo out of the new guardians all at once. Also the ending montage showed Immortal being put back together again. So does he get a free pass to rejoin? Does he have to join a lesser team like Fight Force and work his way up the ranks again?

Rudy doesn't seem to understand humans. Like, at all. Hence him not having any problems stealing Rex's dna to make a clone which is all sorts of hosed up. Also it's spelled out for the audience that he sees monster girl as someone who can relate to him due to their body problem.

The scene where Nolan has a drink with the costume guy was good.Just to clarify: I mean the part where he does the CSI analysis poo poo on the costume and explains to Deb how Nolan had to kill the guardians. That was extremely stupid. Worse is that it means that either Cecil didn't do any testing on the costume(meaning he's incompetent which would be out of character for him) or he just kept up the facade and pretending not to know if Nolan really did kill the Guardians this whole time for reasons. Even in private when talking to Daniels.

Impossibly Perfect Sphere posted:I figured Cecil pretty much knew from the get-go and to admit otherwise would mean starting a war with OM before he's ready. That doesn't really fit with his actions as he kept trying to find proof as to what happened. Also if he knew, there's no reason to keep up the investigation which risks getting caught and exposing it like when Nolan saw the surveillance next door which pretty much blew the whole thing wide open. Or to try and get Nolan off planet in ep4. I'll just assume that they needed a way for Deb to find out for sure and it was 4:51 on a Friday in the writer's room so they threw the costume maker scene together and clocked out.

She said she has known he's been a hero for months. Now she doesn't say she knows he's Invincible, but it probably isn't hard to piece together when Mark runs off from the loving murder cyborg and then Invincible shows up. e: And that just paints her in an even worse light when she breaks up with him because he missed his last chance at the soup kitchen. If she didn't know he's a hero, he broke up with someone because they got hit by a loving bus. If she did know, she broke up with him because he got really badly injured(presumably saving people) and was in the hospital for a week. Really the relationship stuff was really poorly executed.
