I don't think I get this show. It's like a children's cartoon but completely inappropriate for children. I thought it was a children's cartoon until the justice league got murdered. So then I thought, OK, that start was just to lull us into complacency; the real show is going to start now. But no. The next episode we're right back to being a standard kids show - but with way too much violence. Who is this for?

Definitely 100% not for kids. This isn't a spoiler for any of the plot but if it's anything like the comic, the violence / gore is just getting started. To the point that many people criticized the comics for almost turning into gore porn.

I clearly am though, because I don't know why they would do that - or who would want them to? Is it for people who feel embarrassed to watch kids' cartoons so they made one that kids can't watch?

There is an entire anime market that is just like this. Cartoons for adults. I mean 30 years ago Fist of the North Star was doing the ultra violent cartoon. This is nothing new. It is not for everyone, but there is definitely a market for it. The comic was pretty popular too from what I remember.

I've read through the full Invincible run a few times, how close are they staying to the source?

So far the general story is the same, but some things are moved around or done a little different. I also noticed some characters are different races and genders. So far it is close.

I am pretty sure this isn't a spoiler as they have mentioned this in the show, but as to why His dad didn't do anything to help, they have said that his race gets strong the more they push themselves. They are like Saiyan from dragon ball. The more they fight the stronger they get. The more they push themselves the stronger they get. This becomes a very important thing as the story progresses. He could have seen this as a fast way to make Mark stronger. Or maybe he was just teaching him a lesson. He was not there in the comic so who knows what they are going for.
