I really didn't care much for the trailer and I had a really bad hunch that this was going to be absolute crap. But its solid. The animation kicks it up at certain points in the fights and Omni-Man is just as scary as he should be. Really liked the way they did "Earth is not yours to conquer"

Cecil is great in show and in comic. I wouldn’t say Walton is phoning it in it’s just Cecil is so loving tired of the constant poo poo.

I would say its just weak writing that Nolan killed the guardians in the way he did and that he ever thought he wouldn't be the prime suspect. I mean it's possible that Nolan figures they probably know or suspect but that they rightly are too terrified to do anything about it. I also have to suspend my disbelief that Nolan actually kept his costume all bloody and torn up for like months in a plastic bag and just didn't throw it into the sun. That's fine. It's still a good series that I really dig.

Nolan would conquer the world and rule with an iron fist Homelander would kill everyone in a horrible rage.

BurritoJustice posted:The scenes in the white room have them working on weird space crystal and testing lasers on alien skulls, so I took that as meaning they're working on it to some degree. But I agree, Nolan is a walking extinction even from a race of thousands of walking extinction events they now know are malicious. The world uniting to fight that would be an awesome story but I don't think that's this story. They've jumbled the timeline a lot and there is still a lot of Mark regular life development to come. The IGN reviews are poo poo imo. Probably weren't paid enough to say good things about a good show. Robot and Monster girl are the same age mentally and physically they can do whatever the gently caress they want really.

Roman Reigns posted:Haven’t read the comics but is the whole thousands being killed in ten minutes in Chicago incident thanks to a superpower brawl going to be glossed over? It felt like by the end of the episode there was a definite “oh well back to business ” vibe going on throughout the world. The same way people are desentizied from wars and cop violence and terror I bet people would learn to live with the random alien invasion or super powered maniac taking control?

Panfilo posted:Holy hell was that a crazy Finale. Remember in Man of Steel/BvS when they weakly try to illustrate the sheer scale of destruction a superhuman can wreck on society? But it was mostly more of the same, just buildings getting wrecked. Mark vs Nolan was like that without pulling any punches on the human toll. From the subway to the collapsing building, Nolan is repeatedly showing his disdain for humanity as a whole in a really abusive way. It's like some abusive father killing a pet rabbit in front of his son to 'teach' him not to get too attached to animals he'll easily outlive. She loses her cool in the tryouts when Rex is teasing her. At the end of the latest episode she transforms to defend Rex from Samson and transforms back when they start cleaning.

This show is way better looking (and better) then Mob Psycho 100 as I think people were saying a few pages back. The fights are cool in Mob and they do some cool poo poo with animation. But eh.

Zaphod42 posted:w h a t Well yeah. I admit that the fights in mob psycho are occasionally drawn in a very cool and good way that takes advantage of the medium. But that's it for me. And I loving hate the flashing lights they insist on constantly. And there is absolutely no consequences in any fights as usual. The voice acting in invincible is heads and shoulders above the dub (obviously) and the music and sound too. But mobs really cool and interesting story you say? The story is poo poo. Really. Its poo poo.

Captain Oblivious posted:Yes? Because I don’t super care about the Watsonian rationalization, just the narrative result. In the comics he can make a plausible claim to the name Invincible at first and it makes the fight with Omni-Man all the more impactful. Well it is treated more like a inside joke in the show thankfully . I thought you were quite vincible for example. It would've been nice if his dad had been his first real loss but then they'd have to rearrange the entire season.

Oxyclean posted:I'm pretty sure the moment most anyone watching saw him take out the Guardians of the Globe, in horrifyingly cold and graphic gorey ways, people went "oh this is the bad guy, and he's hosed up." He's incredibly dangerous and he spent a few weeks destroying their planet. But he doesn't have xray vision or superhearing so it'd be very difficult getting everyone. Also they are way worse then he is. They invade with the obvious intention of killing everyone from the get go. He's at most reflecting our own colonial past.

Bust Rodd posted:Is anyone else kind of confused by the scene of the Viltrumites fighting each other? It makes it seem like they all do maximum damage but only have like 1 HP. They are all shown to be super strong but everyone of them just gets torn in half by the next one like they are made of tissue paper. Those were all weak rear end viltrumites and deserved to be purged.

It's poo poo and the fact that the people behind the show didn't notice or consider the ramifications of the distinct anti-female symbolism on a female hero is so loving dumb.

Pulcinella posted:I don’t think this really needs a season 2 though. Season 1 feels like it ends on a pretty good stopping point. Also the university episode felt largely like the waste of an episode. We don’t really need an explanation for where the robocops come from and “Mark appears to flake out on Amber one to many times” could have just been the time he was late to dinner with her mom. It literally ends on a cliffhanger? And yeah the uni ep isn't the greatest but the payoff of Mark slapping Sinclair is foreshadowing the frailty of humans and then "the government believes the ends justifies the means" is a good thing to keep in mind for later seasons.

Could get a bit pressed for time. Any word on how many episodes? A few sidestories it seems plus the big one which is Angstrom. I wonder if they'll do Conquest this season or next. Could end up either way.
