I like that Nolan didn't suddenly become good. He was a monster and an asshole, and now he's an asshole who used to be a monster. It's a believable character progression.
one of the best characters in the comic definitely top 3
Like Kratos ❤
Just like my grandma
I get how it can feel rushed tho, as much as I like some of the additions to the show as well as the music making certain scenes feel more memorable, I think the reintroduction of Omni Man so quickly makes any character progression feel super rushed for the sake of having him quickly put back into the story. In the comics a lot more happens between Nolan leaving earth and reappearing some of which was frontloaded into season 1 of the show. He was gone for like a year and some change worth of issues so seeing him felt like something long awaited. It's weird because for season 1 I thought I preferred the shows pacing but now I really think the comic nails the stories pace while it's probably the weakest link for the show. Still love the show tho, especially enjoying the idea of putting more emphasis on the mole which was a reveal that just kind of happened in the comic with little to no investigation towards it. Made the reveal feel a bit dull. Curious wether the mole will be the same or not as well, I kind of hope so, but maybe just give them a bit more screen time pre-reveal.
This show is just so well done. Plus, I mean animating a whole new security camera view for Donald to have him watch what happened instead of using season one material like 99% of every other show would be doing. It's the extra effort.
thats mostly done so that react losers dont piss their pants over it
You should consider the aspect given what we know of the Viltrumites that Nolan by default is the nicest one in existence at this point other than Mark. Its kinda sad you cut out his suicide attempt but he is going against thousands of years of conditioning and grooming to get the point he is now, and the second he feels emotions his first resort is to move to violence.
It may be baffling but apparently in the comics Nolan doesn’t even have his suicide attempt he just shows up with his new family. To me this is a huggggge improvement
I think they really needed to add that suicide attempt to show that Nolan really is changing and different from all the other Viltrumites. I think they got away with not having it in the comics because there his beatdown of Mark was much less brutal, and there was a lot more that happened between Nolan leaving Earth and reuniting with Mark so it felt like Mark had more time to process.
It's actually worse in the comics. Nolan looked for a world to conquer hoping Viltrum would forgive his failure on Earth...
Oh, yeah. There are a lot of narrative upgrades like that. I really appreciate it.
Nolan asking/demanding to Mark "Why do I care about them? I'm not supposed to feel this way, how is this better?" is such an important line for him really.
We watch the show with our human minds, upbringing and hopefully loving and compassion filled hearts. It's essentially impossible for us to know what is really going on in his mind.
He's not a human, he's an alien who is thousands of years old. From a society and people who do not have empathy, love or compassion in their lives. Simply put, they aren't supposed to care. Not about humans who are biologically very similar to them, and least of all about a grasshopper species his people deem inferior.
The mere fact that he is even to take a step back from his conditioning and upbringing to even think let alone ask that question is amazing really. And a testament to what a strong and amazing person Debbie is, just like Art says. Without her, and Mark, Earth would have been lost.
He's still done inexcusable and reprehensible things. Obviously he does not deserve any immediate forgiveness, if any at all. But I think it's important to acknowledge the anomaly that he is.
He's a piece of trash. But he is a very, very fascinating piece of trash.
11:42 This! This is why Robert Kirkman is the master of using violence in story telling, the comic was the same way. The fun and colorful style of the art along with the goofy humor and comic book wackiness make you forget how intense it can get. so when those gory parts do happen it really feels like a gut punch.
I've been in Debbie's shoes
When you see everything you used to believe being a lie, your whole world crumbles
From there, you can no longer tell what's real, who you are or what's even left to fight for
I've been there, man. Many times
But Debbie wasn't wearing shoes
Donald is definitely in a weird position where he is clearly very important to Cecil, to the point where he knows Cecil’s security codes and Cecil did SOMETHING to bring him or a copy of him back, but at the same time Cecil leaves him in the dark as to what actually happened to him.
It's very simple with Nolan he's over 2000 years old he's from an empire we're there's no weakness the Viltrumites killed everyone who doesn't believe in the cause so he was indoctrinated but those 20 years on earth did change him he didn't apologize because honestly that wouldn't have fixed or solved anything he could never return to earth and with how long they live 20 years really isn't nothing
Exactly, if you put it into context then it actually speaks volumes how much he actually cared about mark and debbie. Even though he said some messed up things and killed a ton of people on earth, that small amount of time in his life span was enough to stop him from killing mark, and even make him feel guilt for doing that, not to mention cause him to abandon his mission.
Without Nolan's help, the Viltrumites were going to Earth anyway. Now at least he has Nolan's books and his brother.
On the scale of average morality, Nolan is irredeemable. In terms of Viltrimites, he's already done far more then anyone else on his planet.
I think I have a soft spot for villains trying to better themselves. Even if they stumble often, I appreciate that effort is being made.
Did anyone else notice the small detail in this episode that Mark is who Eve initially wanted to talk to in her emotional time of need? She chose not to confide to any other friend she knew.
Mark is the only one who understands what Eve is going through. That's why she went to college to look for him.
Just want to point out maybe don't have sex with a grasshopper is the same line of thought as the viltrumites. Nolan was a fascist genocidal monster, having consensual sex with a member of another species is only one of his many crimes if we uphold the the standards of species purity that the Viltrumites do. Nolan's willingness to defy the fascist social rules of his people is a good thing even if the celerity with which he does so is fucked up
I think that Eve and her father are just two extremes at opposite ends.
Eve definitely needs to mature more and realize that her father is right about her powers being dangerous and should be used more responsibility. Otherwise people could die.
Her father needs to mature more and realize that Eve does have these powers and has a responsibility to the rest of humanity. If he wasn't so bent on trying to make her normal then Eve would be more open to listening to him when it comes to things like making random parks on empty lots or completely bypassing construction workers and hurting people.
I think that's were they're going with both of these characters.
They're both very stubborn and need to meet in the middle.
Omni man committed in the beginning, Debbie didn’t
Man, I love the music in this show.
Play this over and over and over and over again...

I've been waiting for this reaction! Alycia does it so well and her empathy and sympathy and reasoning for her emotional pull are the reasons she's my favorite. She loves these characters and feels for them so much!
I think with Nolan it's important to remember the length of his indoctrination with the Viltrum Empire. He's lived thousands of years and faced the threat of death by other Viltrumites no doubt being how brutal his upbringing would have been with the Viltrumites essentially purging themselves of weakness as they saw it. Then his 20 years on Earth did something to him, made him care, and his battle with Mark was a desperate attempt to reaffirm his position in the empire. Ultimately he couldn't and abandoned his post. I'm not saying what he did was right by any means, but his position isn't surprising given how much indoctrination he faced on Viltrum. I'm truly hoping for more of his character progression and that his books have information that will help Mark.
I love your reactions! Invincible is a dramatic spectical of action! Thanks for sharing!
Been waiting for this one
0:27 I have never seen you look so mad. LMAO
“Well then maybe don’t have sex with a grasshopper next time…” -alyciadweeb 2/12/2023
Don't forget the Spider-Man pictures, my Daily Bugle, my newspaper. Get me my Spider-Man pictures, Mark.
Nolan has grown up in a place where more or less EVERYBODY (alive, not executed) are behaving in this abusive, power-hungry way. That's the norm.
Think of some things that is within the socially acceptable things on earth (killing living, feeling animals for food despite no nutritional need, doing nothing about the large portion of the population living in extreme poverty simply because they were born into it, etc. etc.).
Listen, Nolan is an asshole, I'm not even saying he should be forgiven by his former family he so severly abused and lied to, but all I'm saying is that at some point what matters is what you are doing/are most likely to do in the future, not what you have done. Evil and good are just concepts, but actions are not. It seems to me, he will most likely do more good/neutral than evil in the future.
Awww yeah, the Mr Krabs episode!
Art is fantastic in the show and the comic, and Mark Hamill is a perfect voice
I think that Cecil sent Donald to Tahiti. It is a magical place, after all.
"Well then maybe don't have sex with a grasshopper next time!" MAN, I really thought I'd never hear someone say those words in that order. ....Again.
The obvious answer is Donald is a cyborg or an android.
Wanted to say this from the beginning of this video. Those earrings are so cute on you!
Hey, does anybody know what happened to the amphibia reactions? I've kind of been waiting for them.
she said shed be back to them after rick and morty ends, so many people were asking for invincible and rick and morty she couldnt do all three at the same time but they will be back
@@thethingiamrn oh okay, thank you!
Pay attention to Mark's new stepbrother. He’s gonna be pretty important going forward.
Time to call Battle Beast...
Man why'd you cut out Nolan's Suicide attempt?
The seed of love is growing inside of him, and thousands of years of Viltrumite culture is trying to snuff it out of him, his growth as a character is one of the greatest in Invincible.
Love and empathy are nonexistent in Viltrumite Culture.
Curious about your name: is it "Alycia the weeb" or is it "Alycia dweeb"? Because if it's a double entendre, then that's pretty cool!
Hey Alycia you should react to the show Castlvania, it's really good.
The Donald mystery is kinda overdone because in the comics he was a cyborg from day 1, so all this walking on egshells feels too contrived and unecesary
Same for the Eve mysery train, she has her low points but not at that moment, she was actually very well put together and her use of her powers for civillian use actually yielded results
That and Amber being presented as all reasonable and balanced is a continued annoyance, as she was supposed to be about to breakup with Mark
The story has changed in minor ways. Wait to see if it actually pays off to determine if all this was justified or not.
Just because the comics exist doesn’t mean they told the story as best it could be told.
@@14megasxlr demeanishing a permanent character to inflate a temporary one never works
If they wanted to improve Amber they could have used an original storyline
Alycia is so Prejudice to Omni-Man, that she's no better than him
_"Well then maybe don't have sex with a grasshopper next time!"_
God, I love you so much, Alycia. 😂❤
im always team omni man most humans are trash
Ow, the edge!
