Maybe it’s just that I’m a father and nobody else notices it but Walton Goggins puts this fatherly tone in to almost every line that Cecil says to Mark especially since Nolan left. It’s just a beautiful little detail that adds to the depth of Cecil’s character as well as the depth of the show in general.
As someone whos read the comics, I think moments like this 20:55 is why I appreciate Omn1 as a reactor. While he may have predictions, he mostly sits and watches what unfolds in relative silence and then allows himself to feel the surprise.

This is where the fun begins. Allen was actually reasonably durable as shown by the fact he fought Omni-man before and survived if anyone was wondering why he didn't get turned into paste by the three Viltrumites. Also the guy's name is Angstrom Levy (angstroms are a unit of length typically used for measuring light) which I always get confused with Levi Ackerman.
@@BrenzOTnTI don't think it's spoilers but I just don't think Omni-man cared enough to pursue the fight. Like it's unlikely Allen would be able to get away from him if Omni-man really tried. I believe it's mentioned in the original episode that Omni-man treats it pretty casually where he goes out to fight in space and doesn't bother talking, just kicks Allen's ass enough for him to be satisfied as to the security of "Urath" at which point he leaves and Omni-man just goes back to his day since he knows Allen doesn't have any serious ambitions to take the world. Like, I'm pretty sure he would have flatlined Allen if he thought he was serious competition but he treats it casually enough he gives it to Mark for a first solo mission. If you want a slightly darker take I don't think we've found out what happened to the real Urath so it's possible the Coalition sent messages asking if they could do information exchange but thought they were getting ignored when the world had already been wiped out through some disaster.
When I saw that part where they show the superhero dog I was like oh my God it can’t be there actually going to do it there really going to show us……. The Reunion I can’t believe it. I actually thought we were going to see it like near the end of season 2 where we see J K Simmons returns as his role as onmi man.
A lot of people expected the Guardians to die in the s1 finale but they did it in the first episode. Pretty clear at this point they ain't wasting time. Beside, can't you tell what Mark will be facing in the season finale by the cracking intro? He's coming.
@@alexanderthered5603Why would they wait for their deaths for so long? They die at like issue 4, Logically the best way to structure an episode would be to have them die in the first one
Yeah it kinda sucks that i’ve already seen a lot of the comics so none of this is a surprise to me but i’m excited to see it on the show. I imagine next episode is going to be Mark meeting Ollie then the episode will probably end with the Viltrimites finding Omniman and beating him up for leaving Earth and failing his mission.
- Great edit at 6:10 XDDD - Really hope Allen's not dead, he's such a fun character - Rudy and Amanda's budding relationship is so adorable! - Really feel sorry for Debbie in this episode, Green Ghost's husband is an ASSHOLE - I KNEW they were teasing at Omni-Man being the ruler of Thraxa! If anyone's read the comics, please don't spoil anything.
I hadn't thought that we'd see Nolan so soon either, even having read the comics. What's important to remember with this show is that time is not as continuous; not like Stranger Things which picks up beat after beat. So as we're getting episodes week by week, from the beginning of 2x1 until 2x3, probably at least 2 - 4 months have elapsed. One of my concerns here would be if the relationship between Cecil and Mark in future scenes will solely focus on a growing rift, or still have moments of collaboration between them. I dunno, I feel like Cecil's like an uncle who looks out for Mark, and I enjoy that here. As always, thanks for the reaction Omn1! Love seeing your thoughts each week. :)
Hearing Peter Cullen speak is nice, but at the same time it worries me of how one day we’ll lose the definitive Optimus Prime, the same way we lost Kevin Conroy’s Batman.
Not sure but I think it was highlighted in the comics how few are left after the purge. They need to maintain their population count so maybe they do no longer fight each other anymore, to death?
@@vincezzme *[SPOILER BELOW]* The great purge isn't the reason there are so few of them left, it's the scourge virus, which, if I recall correctly, only Thad and the surviving Viltrumites know about; everyone else believes there's still a whole empire of them, because half a dozen Viltrumites or a whole empire makes no practical difference, they'll still effortlessly destroy your whole civilization anyway.
- nahhh the narrator caught me off guard 😂😂😂😂 But once I see that alien at the end I automatically knew Omni man was coming real soon... Not that soon but soon
Imagine that the family members of the victims of a serial killer got together to talk about there struggles and realized that the wife of said serial killer was in the room listening to all of it. Would it still feel like a safe space to share and heal? People defend Debbie because they feel attached to her but it makes no sense to expect the victims of her husband to put her feelings before they're own. She trauma dumped on the guy in 20 seconds and he was supposed to be an angel about it?
1. S.O.S. Does not stand for dead/murdered spouses of superheroes, or Omniman killed our superhero spouses. It stands spouses of superheroes. 2. Serial killer? Seriously? Mass murderer, undercover spy, sleeper cell, and terrorist do a much better job at describing what he was doing than serial killer. There are support groups for those victims. Spouses of superheroes is not that support group. 3. He trauma dumped and broke the number one rule first. Debbie tried to leave and he wanted to know what was wrong. 4. Him telling her that she should have known who her husband was just comes to close to telling a victim assault of any kind that they should known better. That guy may be a victim, but he is also a asshole. Here something else to think about. If this is a support group for spouses of superheroes that Omniman murdered then why did Olga give Debbie that card? Was it just twist the knife?
The pacing and structure of this week's episode was so nutty. I think the showrunners are intentionally keeping us off-balance, and doing a pretty bang-up job of it.
Damn, I was hoping we'd get the Toolock pull this episode... but at least we got to see Allen (and Telia's lunch) eating kanzlok, and it was _even better_ than in the books...
I dont know if anyone else noticed. If you remember the old THOR comics, Donald Blake SWITCHED PLACES with Thor, he was NOT the same person. If you noticed at the Survivors meeting there was a woman with glasses, probably a reporter, who changed into War Woman from episode 1; Debbie walked past her. I guess EVERY single survivor at the meeting is linked to the Old Guadians. ❤the Channel!!!!!!!
I’ve never seen you almost throw up from surprise ! Your reactions are so full of joy. Invincible is an outstanding comic. But DONT read it if you want to be surprised. From here on out it’s gonna get buck wild.
This was a BIG episode like a BIG!! Episode and next week is the mid season finale then we need to wait till 2024 I need it to be next week now and I need episodes 5-8 yesterday
I actually learned about this story arc awhile back and i wasn't sure at first, but when the guy said "we age faster than humans" i knew this was it. The Invincible and Omniman reunion.
You love not knowing Omni… but I love knowing far far in advance and seeing how they are putting everything together. Next episode is gonna be a WILD ride if what I think is coming comes.
I don’t think Allen is dead in the beginning he’s been brutally injured not as bad as the last injury but it seems like every injury makes him stronger.
24:01 love your theories here about the traitor, but just gotta ask you something. Do you know for sure that Thaedus is the traitor? Did we see him betray anyone? Are you sure??
You are not ready for the shit they have in store 😂 super excited for the next half cuz that shit is even be crazier lmao I don't remember The shapesmith to be that cringe in a literal sense lol The setups on this episode is phenomenal! They really improved the set up for all the future arcs
the last 3 episodes are probably going to be the invincible war and the last scene will probably be Conquest coming to earth, if the pacing is anything to go by
@@zzeroara9511i think that would be way to rushed tho we haven’t even got Anissa’s introduction, Mark’s transition to the Blue suit or his dynamic with Oliver
@@jaeloc1217They don't need to adapt it in the same order as the comics, They did the Titan before the OmniMan fight And the death of the Guardians before the introduction of Teen Team
@@zzeroara9511I am almost positive that the season finale will be Mark Vs. Cecil (issue #50) because it's already being heavily foreshadowed, and Invincible's black and blue suit first appears in the aftermath of that fight in the following issue. The fully black and blue title card will probably show up towards the end of the finale when we see the new suit, and everything after the title card will probably be leading into season 3. Also, why would the Invincible War be three whole episodes when it took place in a single issue in the comics? I realize it was rushed in the comics, but still, three episodes is overkill. One fifty minute episode of non-stop action will be enough.
@@jesusramirezromo2037 yea but these events are important because it fleshed out a lot of things. Oliver’s growth wouldn’t be as impactful if Mark is on that same type of timing instead of being the role model for him. And him meeting Anissa early on would make what she did later feel random
I really wanted séance dog to by the real one from other universe, and make and impact point in the story, because is telling us that Amstrong Levy is messing with other universes and make the multiversal story to start.
Waaaayyyyy too much time spent on trivial shit like collage and realationships. You know, when there's a literal cosmic disaster coming down on galaxy and you know it for sure in the back of your head, THIS stuff should make you laugh out loud. Because it seems f***ing silly in comparison to the MAIN plot of this series. So I couldn't be invested, even if I tried hard. I loved the Allen stuff and felt furious when they cut it after ten f***ing minutes and returned to the lame plots on Earth. If I wanted to watch soap opera, I'd turn on The Bold and the Beautiful, God dammit!!! Yes! - we know Mark is a normal teenager with normal human problems. Yes! - we know he's a good boy who loves his friends and his planet. Yes! - we know Debbie is heartbroken after what happened. IT HAS ALL BEEN ESTABLISHED ALREADY!!! Why the hell don't you give us some serious action, creators? Give us Omni man and his internal conflict. Give us Thrag and other Viltrumites versus The Coalition of Planets. Give us worldbuilding across the galaxy, goddamit! Give us some suspense!
_Mark's life_ (and his growth) is the main plot of the series. The galactic stuff is no more or less important than the Earth stuff, it all contributes to his evolution as a superhero and as a person.

I thought they were going to bring omni man back in the show for the next seasons but mind blown 🤯
Yeah next week is gonna be fun 🔥
Yeah I was a little surprised at how quickly they reunited because i’ve read the comics and I thought it was going to take a little longer.
@@cl5071they did like 6 comic book arcs in the last 2episodes lol
That was an amazing edit with the cut to Jurassic 3 😂
