Debbie was honestly my fav, she is everything Hollywood has been trying to do with the 'strong woman' archetype done right. Literally the woman who saved the world.
See that’s what we need, I always acknowledged that Debbie was strong af for going through all of that. The fact that she’s a strong woman character never really crossed my mind. I think thats the right way to go
Exactly, its the same with writing any stereotype really. A black characters entire personality shouldnt be shaped around them being black, a gay characters personality shouldnt be shaped around being gay. Its about creating a compelling character first, and leaving what they look like/ identify with as just a part of the bigger picture. A lot of writers will come up with the idea for say a “strong woman,” and then build the character up from that basis, but thats just not how people work in real life
Yess, i love debs!!!
And she isnt cringe and feminist
She actually acts like a mother
Debbie is unironically one of my favorite characters in the entire show
Rex:
-Is an A-hole for most of season 1
-Slacks off First episode of season 2
-Convinces Eve to get back into the Hero field
-Jinxs the Lizard League into infiltrating
-Clutches a 1v3
-Takes a Bullet to the brain
-Survives
-Becomes everyone’s favorite character
I really wanted rex to die in the first few episodes, I just didn't like him, but after the lizard league fight he became one of my faves
Damn I thought he was a dick til the end of season 1 when he wiped off the blood but after that and even on rewatch I started to love him he was funny asf
I loved the cyborg arc. Had a very heartwarming take about what being human means.
Donald is just a goddamn hero
Yeah, that part doesn’t get enough appreciation.
Yes
season 3 is about to blow all of our socks off if they're gonna adapt what I think they're gonna adapt
Fr, surely we get season 3 before 2025 🙏
I love your Cold War pfp! Still my favorite cod game
I haven't read the comics so I'm not totally sure what you're referencing. The only think I can think of is the Conquest fight.
Invincible war and black suit mark?
@@AnotherNickMoviesbelieve me there's more than that..Read them.
The Donald story line was so good and so much more impactful than in the comics wym
It was so un interesting to me tbh
I think Donald himself and his backstory was interesting but idgaf about Rick. He was only in that one sinclair episode in season 1 and that’s the worst one episode of the show tbh
@@chase4530 Agreed + he's gay
@@InvincibleEdits2005 watch tv with just cis straight people then idk what to tell you
Talking Dinosaurs are the most complex characters in the show, they changed my life
las vegas be like
You have no idea what a talking dinosaur can do
I know this is just a joke rn, but you’d be surprised lmao
Oh, dude. You have no idea what's coming.
I'm convinced you're a furry
We need more shows like this
We absolutely do.
Which part? Gore-y superheroes or adult animation that actually has story
@@ShortArtGuy the second one for sure
@@quhed6102There have been a few, but no one talk about them online. Like there's Hit Monkey and Scavenger Reign that is frankly on pare with Invincible, but no one ever acknowledged their existence. I feel like there's a bigger issue where adult animation that isn't your typical sitcom don't get as much attention as your typical bad adult cartoons like Velma and Big Mouth. Invincible the the exception, but I hope it will become the norm someday
@@quhed6102 there’s also pantheon, arcane and fired on mars. Most of which are arguably on par with invincible imo.
I was wondering why Angstrom barely showed up throughout. That was pretty much my one complaint with the season, then it finally clicked for me during the finale. Angstrom wasn't the main villain of season 2, the main "villain" was always Mark himself.
It's kinda obvious in retrospect with all the teases with our Mark, and not to mention all the other Mark variants. The connecting throughline was Mark's struggle with his father and the similarities he shares with him. He was trying to deny that part of himself and ignore it but that led to the bloody pile of gore that was the Angstrom incident. Which would have truly destroyed him if the Guardians hadn't rescued him. And it perfectly sets up his arc in season 3 of accepting but not being ruled by his emotions/ heritage.
You watched that video, didn't you?
@@erikpng Not sure which video you're referring to but I did get spoiled for the Invincible war during the season 2 break.
Edit: I thought that was going to be this season's finale but I'm now confused about how it's going to happen at all with Angstom "dead". My current theory is that Angstrom posseses another version of himself from the multiverse. Making him the unkillable to Mark's Invincible.
Was looking for someone who mentioned this.
Yeah, the big storyline that's being explored in s2 is what if mark loses control and becomes evil/like Nolan and Levy is such a great villain to explore this
I will argue seasons 2 is better. Her less of a main focus but interesting world building, and even more of emotional roller coaster
There’s definitely a lot of emotional complexity this season. Especially Mark’s interactions with Onni-Man.
I agree. Whenever people talk about season one, they only ever focus on Omniman. And while a masterpiece it's kinda the only thing the season had going for it. Season 2 tries a lot more and all of it is fantastic
I liked episode 8 of Season 2 vs. that of Season 1. I thought the animation was really peak in that episode
Season 3 going to hit even harder trust me the invincible war is coming
Dude, you are pretty spot on. The character development is amazing this season, and all the stuff that makes a show good can be found in this season, but I argue that Season 1 is slightly better.
got tired of being spoiled from online post and decided to read it and omfg season 3 going to be some absolute heat
I saw this video's thumbnail change like 4 times so far ☠️
Just a slight correction. Those other Viltrumites didn’t die, they were shown being taken for medical care.
Oh I did not notice. Thanks for correcting me.
@@AnotherNickMovies it’s not a big deal, sorry. I just thought it was funny because we saw Omni-man and Lucan still alive even after being torn apart so I just assumed everyone would put together the others survived.
@@insectostrich4407 No need to be sorry at all! Just makes Viltrumites even stronger than I thought.
@@AnotherNickMovies Actually, I can’t remember if they explicitly showed them being carried off, but they definitely come back in the comics. But yes, it just shows how strong Viltrumites are.
@@AnotherNickMoviesAlso, you may not have noticed this, but they’ve foreshadowed that an effective to take down a Viltrumite is by damaging their brain so they can’t heal. Which is why it holds on Vidor, the Viltrumite with glasses, when Nolan cracks open his head.
Its not the same without consistent screen time for Omi Man. And Shogun literally exists.
Shôgun is so fucking good
The one thing I really would’ve liked to see (maybe we will in S3) is Mark encountering one of his alternate selves who followed Omni-Man. Would be nice to see exactly what makes our Mark so special. Was it getting his powers later? Were the other Debbies not good Moms? Who knows.
dude this editing and delivery is just as damn good as the show your reviewing..
I'm going to turn into a truck now was just perfect for the voice actor for thetus. optimum primm 😂
Lol. Thank you!
I think it's perfectly fine this season is slower and not as focused or hardcore as the first. For starters, it deals with a lot of the actual consequences and emotions left over from 1's finale - grief, sadness, and anger from Omni-man's betrayal and the truth coming out - the sense of humanity and belonging once Donald finds out the truth about himself - Amber and Mark realizing the truth about themselves. In fact, if you look deep, this season deals a LOT with people finding themselves and their own "truths"...It's the ever-growing realization that not only are most of them definitely NOT Invincible (hah, see what I did?), but also that the universe is becoming much larger and more complex, and a lot of people are finding some deep shit they just don't know how to live with even in a society of super powers. Imagine a major event like an evil Superman proving to your own eyes that you are a mere ant - no - a tiny microorganism in comparison to something like the Viltrum Empire. That your life is meaningless to them and you couldn't even begin to resist them if you wanted to. Even the current Guardians couldn't hope to fight a single adult Viltrumite. That would have you wondering a lot about your place in the universe.
Bro made a whole ECR you deserve a like my friend
Idk how people keep saying theres no story that is in each episode like S1 think they liked the mystery aspect but we can clearly see that the whole season Mark is dealing w not trying to be like his dad and ultimately loses while winning
I love both seasons so far!!
With the caviat that if they completely drop the Angstrom Levy story going forward, and it's going to be just this pretty much 2 episode thing... I'll go bananas!!
That has soooo much potential!!
My only problem with season 2 was them trying to redeem Amber, but they never actually made her acknowledge that she did anything wrong
Yeah, but at least she was a real person this time, and people do that
The whole romance was still incredibly dull too. Amber is just not that interesting as a character.
@@saisameer8771 that's the point tho. She's a normal person sucked up into superhero business
@@tedarcher9120 No it isn’t bro. Making a character intentionally uninteresting is never the point.
Sure she’s a “normal person” but the show definitely could’ve made her “interesting” as a person, even without powers.
They almost did, when her life was threatened later in the season, but then Mark and her broke up with her, ending the arc (probably for the better).
I know what it’s like to love a show so much that you try to explain away any criticisms, but it’s ok if a show isn’t perfect.
That doesn’t mean it’s bad. :D
bro your channel is sooo underrated
That just means only cool people watch me.
@@AnotherNickMovies based
I appreciate you and this video.
This show is the best period.
Thanks! I appreciate you watching.
Sterling K. Brown's performance as Ambrose Levy was outstanding. Delivered all the pathos to make him sympathetic and all the calculating menace to make him really chilling and hateable by the finale.
God damnit with the beginning of this video 😂 also 1:05 was so hype lmao, had the same reaction while watching 😭
The reason the animation seems better (imo) is that they imrpvoed the backgrounds. Invicible season 1 backgrounds were cursed, especially crowds
if u watch season 2 through the lense that mark is his own enemy as he struggles with his identity and becoming his father, itll change ur entire view on the season
I am not going to give a whole long review, but I am just going to say that (in my opinion) Season 1 is better than Season 2, but Season 2 is also very, very good, and underrated in the eyes of most superhero fans. And btw, this video was very good, and I can agree with most if not all that you said.
I know it's VERY early but X-Men '97, Invincible and The Boys
the big 3 of supehero sci-fi right now, enjoy it
Here's an Really HARD Spoiler please I BEG YOU Do not click that button if you are not Perperd For a Spoiler
Angstrum Levi Is Alive
Season 2 does have a overarching narrative it’s just not Angstrom it’s mark himself becoming more violent and like his dad.the break they did really fucked up the flow but the season does have a overarching theme and plot
More like the brutality of invincible. Life keeps getting harder & worser for mark ever since he got his powers. Also show case being a hero is bullshit because nobody wants to talk about negative side of being hero
Another good video! Killing it, dolphin dude!
Thanks Goob! You’re a real one.
7:05 I'd argue that Mark's efforts not to be like his dad is the main antagonist of this season, and levy was just a vehicle for that to be bounced off of
Season 2 was to help build the entire story arch... Thought that was pretty obvious.
Actually those Vilturmites are still alive while I can't speak for Vidor, Lucan and Thula are major characters in the series so they ain't dead just yet
''Major''
goated season
For sure
I literally don’t like superheroes like Marvel DC all of it’s super boring to me. this show is phenomenal it deserves every bit of praise it deserves. I literally tell people to watch the show all the time and I normally don’t do that. I can’t wait for season 3
You know from a film/tv critic (which is what I consider myself) the reason that this show is way better than like every other Superhero series, is because it does things in its writing that other great shows do as well. This isn't your typical Superhero show, I would say its the Breaking Bad or Sopranos of the Superhero world, without it being a total Superhero show if you know what I am trying to say.
Where did you get that he thinks he can't have a relationship with Eve? Mark is fresh off a breakup, and fresh off some emotional trauma
Because of exactly as you said. 😅
I actually really like the Donald story and how he came to terms with it
I think that Season 2 as a whole is challenging Invincible's integrity as well as the relation to his father. Season 2 tells us that Mark is holding back because he doesn't want to be like Nolan, and we get to see the few devastating moments where he doesn't hold back, such as the case with Angstrom. Season 2 certainly wants to tell a story just like Season 1 did, but it's more implicit, which might make it seem worse as a result.
A couple things i felt while watching season 2 were
-The conversations feel a lot more dull and unnatural compared to season 1, its like one speaks and the other waits just a little too much before responding
-The second thing is the animations feel non dynamic and slow especially the fight scenes they failed to show the impact of blows like season 1 did
-They changed mark and nolans look a little bit idk why but it just looks weird after getting used to season 1 mark and nolan
I enjoyed season 2, but did anybody else notice that Rex’s and Rudy’s voice sound kinda different?
Blue eye samurai
Arcane
House of the dragon
The bear
...
Still a good show tho
I really hope the show gets its animated movie
Even though they did amber better, I will say they focused way too much on her plot line in episodes 5-7. Dragged there inevitable break up out wayyyyy to long. Personally I LOVED the cyborg Donald Plot thread.
Good vid 👍
Thanks 👍
I found the last episode of season 2 to be a bit lackluster.
just rewatched bc u changed the thumbnail thinking i ain't watch it 😭
Oh no! I’m sorry. I’m just trying to find the best thumbnail lol.
love your videos bro
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed.
Nah bro the Donald arc is goated
I think that's was walking dead, they have the rights to that
Robert Kirkman created both, but AMC owns tv rights I believe.
@@AnotherNickMovies it's more likely to be comic walking dead
4:32 don’t forget the mad max
Did yall realize that ross marquand plays the rex brothers as well as immortal?
We need less shows like this. Otherwise we'll just be glued to the TV all day long and never leave the house.
Wait so the thing with Anisa DOES happen? Just later?
They could still remove it, but yeah, I'm pretty sure it happens later when Mark is wearing the Blue & Black suit
Fire video man🔥🔥
Thank you!
Love your comedic timing dude. New sub here
This season was actually a downgrade of the first season, with terrible animation constantly in the first few episodes.
shut up
Downgrade in animation but upgrade in story
Mald
@@ghhbpolo I'll agree to that a bit but second season did lack a strong hook that made it the first season so popular. It appears a lot of the previous viewers did return, however, in my opinion the show lacked a strong core theme like in the first season. This second season was sort of unfocused until the last two episodes, but even then the majority of it is focused on a relationship that ends and is merely a way to get Mark with who he's meant to be with.
@@thomedenay3414 imo, what the 2nd season lacks in a strong story hook, it makes up for in the consistent character arcs, so I don't mind it as much.
Hold up is the second season over? Man i dont want to wait for another season.
It seems like we won’t have to wait as long for Season 3.
@@AnotherNickMoviesprolly late 2024 or early 2025
Season 2 is an alley oop for season 3
"Why Invincible Is Still The Best Show On TV" xDDDDD
i hope they don't animate what anissa did in the comics 😶👀
The anissa plot line gonna go crazy in season 3
season 5 at best
I Loved Steven Yeun In Beef
I really liked the android storyline a lot. Lots of genuine mystery. I actually think I like season 2 better, but I can see why people may enjoy season 1 more. There are a few episodes that feel like filler, especially the one with the fish marriage, which is by far the weakest episode in the entire series. But I really liked the world building. They didn't beat us over the head with it, and we learn a lot more about the lore of the viltrumites, Allen's backstory, and the planetary council. I wish there were more of a focus on earth bound heroes though. Like the names they drop a lot like Fight Force. I'm assuming that will be expanded on more in season 2. We didn't hear from Titan or Battle Beast this season which is a bit disappointing. But I'm sure we'll hear about more of them in future seasons
I absolutely love this review (bc it agrees with me 😅). The season felt all over the place, the last episode felt more like a mid season finale. There was no conclusion to any story lines other than the Strom one, which wasn't all that great anyways. Everyone online is saying about how excited they are bc they've read on in the comics but the show should be standalone, it's still a great, amazing show, but that season, not really
Angstrom is a red herring, the overarching villain is Mark not becoming his father.
I'm amazed at how they always made jokes about how weak the lizard league was but they were pretty formidable
They were decent but any one of the heroes who went to Mars could probably one shot the whole group. I think that whole sequence was meant to demonstrate the difference in power levels between the top heroes and the midcarders (so to speak) and just further show how ill equipped Earth is to deal with a Viltrumite invasion right now
I mean considered that none of the Guardians died and Rex practically soloed all of them, they're still pretty weak
@@user-vo5gq9nd9y that honestly felt like a bit of a cop out, I get Kate having a clone away from the action but at the very least Shrinking Rae should have died
@@codyallen43 In the comics, Shrinking Rae died and it went nowhere, and everyone immediately forgot about it, so I will take possible character development instead.
6:00 - That's not what she said tho? She was angry because he straight up lied to her. Repeatedly. For months.
And guess who'd be dead if anyone ever found out who Mark Grayson really was?
I liked the Donald storyline and it's a setup for the future.
NEW SUB!!!
Loved the PKMN menu music at 3:12 is 😊
nothing beats it
I feel like the story of season 2 is mark trying not to be his dad
Debbie isn’t the stepmom. She’s the mom who stepped up 😎
Only thing I disagree with in this vid is that the animations were cooler se 1. The scene where Nolan destroys the flaxans is so well done. When he holds mark in front of the train my jaw fell off my face
It makes sense that Mark killed him though, he even says it: he thought he was stronger. All he knew is he was stronger than a normal human and he didn’t know how hard to push.
Season was incredible. People are hating just to hate.
Never heard of this show! Ill have to check it out! I dont mind spoilers so imma still watch it
Well uhm actually, invincible is a prime original, so uhm it actually isn't on tv 🤓
I personally think the animation dropped s little. A lot of stills and lack of impact. But they basically admitted this is the comic con scene.
Fun fact: original title was “why season 2 is the best”
That's false info. It was "Why Season 2 Is Amazing" lol
@@AnotherNickMovies it’s funny because I still have the old thumbnail and title on here
What does anissa do in the future?
Nothing to important really
@Benshavit493 I would beg to fucking differ😅
R4p3
Here’s the answer
Rapes mark and has a kid called Marky who becomes the next invincible
That one meme was so hard
yoyoyoyoyo! yo! Donald is a fkn goat in this season! from goverment henchmen to fkn badasss!
Oh you talking about how she made mark ha……
why u keep changing the thumbnail😭
Season two was an enormous disappointment feeling more soap opera than superhero show. It felt mind numbingly slow in most parts, and the parts where your interest lay like Allen getting on board the Viltrum ship to spring Nolan takes a back seat to storylines that were insultingly boring, e.g. Marks relationship woes and as one put it “too much pointless emo babble” from Mark and not enough momentum to keep your interest. And taking several month’s hiatus to concentrate on animation quality sure seems to not have paid off, which could mean that there may have been other problems with production that aren’t being mentioned that triggered the delay and perhaps the reasons for season 2 suffering so badly.
The best animated show in the past few years along with Pantheon
Great video. This season wasn’t for me, just didn’t enjoy it. If you liked it then I’m happy for you. Hope to catch this show next time around in season 3.
Im just like Invincible except the reason I miss college is cuz im lazy, I need to drive to pilot school to actually fly and I cheated on my ex like his comic book version
I’m going to turn into a truck now. LMAO.
the best show on tv is definitely a stretch when things like the bear exist
Correctly yes, if all time… I’m sorry breaking bad still has that for me. But holly I love the show and the comics
Make your bets when they actually gonna release the 3rd season.
That was not the decision he made with eve you putz shit was only about amber, dating a non hero and bringing them into that world
Eve is already in that world, he just broke up tho, so he aint tryna rebound the day after ya know?
Ambers relationship still sucks turbo ass all they ever say is "i love you" , "shit i got to go" "ya thats alright
Bro the last episode was trash I waited almost 3 years for that garbage ending? All it was the whole time was either crying or barely even a boss fight
i hope amber continues to show up occasionally, i feel like her and mark could work as friends.
the boys is better but invincible is still really good.
Fan of both shows , but I gotta go Invincible as the superior show.
If amber isn’t the worst character in the show then who is? Yes shes less unbearable this season, but the character based story telling and the theme of dealing with trauma is so well done that the amber arc feels weak in comparison. We’ve seen this arc before in a lot of superhero shows, like spiderman. Where everything else in invincible feels new and different.
That is just not what Amber did in season 1
It's the Boys but yeah Invincible is pretty good too
