36:35 I think you nailed it. Omniman was basically on vacation, until Mark got his powers and he snapped back to reality with a "oh right, I came here to do something"
The twist was that this whole time, Omniman wasn't hoping Mark got his powers, he was hoping he WOULDN'T. That way, Mark and Debbie will both eventually die off, and Nolan can then continue his conquest. But Mark having his powers would mean living for 1000+ years, which is far longer than the Empire expects Nolan to have weakened the planet. Now Nolan has to continue his mission, and either get Mark on his side, or neutralize him as a threat.
@@blazednlovinit all his arguments were him basically convincing himself. Debbie has a pet lifetime compared to him. EVERYTHING was to convince himself
exactly, when he was talking to the tailor, "You think you have ALL the time in the world, and the something changes...." and in the first episode " I think it would have been better for us if Mark never got his powers" he was secretly hoping he could live that life with them, but now that Mark is a viltrumite, he has to train him, and continue his mission.
Mark is a true hero. He knew full well he stands no chance against his father… but he put his hands up and defended earth regardless. They’re lucky to have him
Watching you tear up when he said "You Dad, I'd still have you." Made me start crying, it hit hard even though I've seen it before. Your reactions are so genuine and I enjoy feeling with you.
When Mark told his dad about his powers and he was shocked not because Mark finally had gotten his powers because he remembered what he was supposed to do all along
I don’t he ever necessarily forgot but had Mark not gotten his powers, Nolan could’ve just lived on Earth with his family and carried out his plans after their deaths-which is what I think is what I think he was going for. Everything started when Mark got powers and Omni Man realized things would never be same. I still don’t get why he didn’t raise Mark differently if he already assumed his half Viltrumite DNA would give him those abilities. He was shocked but quite knowledgeable about it so begs the question of why he didn’t do things differently?
@@ambassadorbruh1200 I might be misremember but I think viltrumite abilities usually start showing up early puberty. Mark was an unusually late bloomer. As for why his didn't raise Mark differently, He didn't know if Mark would get his powers for sure or not. The over-simplification human cells have two copies of each chromosome. One from each parent. Genes are either dominant or recessive. The dominant gene will basically override the recessive gene (Brown eyes overriding blue eyes for example). Dominance doesn't control what gets passed on as much. So in Mark's case, even though he has Viltrumite DNA and it's very potent (Dominant) if he had kids he could still end up pass only the human set he got from his mom on. Or the Viltrumite DNA could be recessive when paired with Mark's new spouse although I imagine that's more a concern when dealing with new species. That's why Nolan wanted to wait until he was sure.
“I guess we’ve both been lied to.” Sure, Amber. Your high school boyfriend lying to protect his secret identity is the same as said boyfriend’s father lying about murdering the world’s greatest superheroes and then nearly beating his own son to death.
I think Nolan was planning on waiting until Debbie and Mark died of old age before he starts his conquest. But once he realized Mark is a Viltrumite, he decided there's no point in waiting since Mark is not going to grow old.
Mark raising his hands might be one of the bravest choices anybody ever made in a superhero story, which is especially impressive since usually those are choices made by people who *aren't* superheroes themselves. I sobbed helplessly first time I saw Mark answer his father's question. And it gets even worse when he asks "... dad?" Because he's hurt and he needs his father. I loved Black Samson's "test" of the Guardians - to see if they'd stick up for the least popular among them, if they really were committed to each other. If he'd been serious, he wouldn't have joined in cleaning up with the others. I'd never heard "We Are Infinite" until this, but talk about perfect use of licensed music. Like the whole world of this story letting out its breath all at once. I still think Amber is just the freakin worst.
Man, I wish they went for a route where Amber became scared of Mark instead (I mean it'd be scary to be dating someone who could accidentally kill you with their powers or something/knowing that by associating with them, you'll be targeted by villains). That would make her flip-floping feel genuine. It would also make her taking back Mark feel so much more impactful. She feels ashamed for feeling afraid and sees how he's a true hero and he'd never intend to hurt her and wants to try again.
When Debbie revealed what she knew to Nolan, told him she didn't trust him, he was pissed off. He punched a hole into a wall in his own home because, as disciplined as he is, he could not fully contain that anger. The next day, was just so pissed instead of walking outside to fly away, he just blasted off straight up out of the living room. But he did not so much as raise a hand to Debbie. While fighting the kaiju (tentacle monster thing) with Mark, did you see his face? When The Immortal came in and kept preventing him from helping Mark as Mark was getting beat by that monster? He was afraid for Mark. Omniman knew how dangerous that beast was, he was afraid it might actually be able to kill his boy. The whole rampage of slaughtering civilians while fighting Mark? He was trying to convince not only Mark, but himself, that all of this was necessary. He knew how horrible he was being. And in the end, when it came down to his son or his people, he chose his son. But he also knew at that point that he had done so many awful things, quite publicly, that there was no "going back to normal", he burned that bridge pretty thoroughly. And still, he chose his son over his people, and left. Invincible and Arcane have one interesting thing in common: a villain who's weak point is their child.
@@Zartoo_3rd_Overlord_ofBlargon7Nah, Nolan for sure is the most powerful Viltrumite. When they invade Earth, he and Mark will destroy them mid-low diff.
@@blackirontarkus3156Actually he is powerful but there are many viltrumites that are much stronger than him, he is nowhere near to being the strongest.
@@blackirontarkus3156 Nolan is mid tier. He's far from being the weakest, and in fact pretty up there, but there are plenty Viltrumites who shall not be named that could smoke him like a cheap cig.
@@jasonjohn3612 Many? No, only one for certain (and _maybe_ two). Thragg, who considers strength to be the only consequential qualifier for leadership, told Nolan that in his absence, he was the most qualified to lead the Viltrumites. That's the strongest Viltrumite admitting Nolan is only second to him in strength.
Gotta respect those fighter pilots, they knew they could not even put a scratch on omni man and would probably be killed but still followed through with that suicidal order.
Their enthusiastic "direct hit!" makes me believe they didn't fully realise how powerful he was. IMO Cecil sent them to die but they didn't realise it was a suicide mission
I remind you that Cecil took a creature that almost defeated Omniman and modified it to make it more powerful. Mark defeated it by himself and just later he stood his ground against his own father. People mocks Mark because his name is Invincible but lost a lot of fights, but he's invincible because he fights until the end
Mark is not as powerful as his dad. He is invincible when compared to most humans, dont forget how he chose that name while playing baseball with his dad. As for the creature, mark beat it because he grabbed powerlines which in turn fried the creature so it was not his actual strength that beat it. As for mark and his dad, omni man is likely thousands of years old with god knows how much combat experience, we dont know what age viltrumites peak physically. So i am sure mark who is just a few months into his powers is a baby mentally and physically in combat when compared to omni-man
"What's 17 more years...I can always start again...make another kid." Literally one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever heard. I've read the comicbook years before this show, but by the time the baseball flashback happened I was sobbing.
Which one did you enjoy more? I've heard the comic book is more of a parody of super heroes, while the show is more dramatic and has real stakes, because there are consequences for the characters. I'm wondering if that is true and which you would say is better.
@@marcoscarrasco92 the comic is also very dramatic and powerful. I read the whole series after watching the show. Its amazing and we havent even scratched the surface of whats to happen yet.
@@marcoscarrasco92 In terms of what's covered so far in the show it's pretty similar. Some things are switched around and tweaked but so far it's still the same story, but I think the way it's done in the show was more powerful. The books to me felt like dragon ball z with superheroes, with like 100 buckets of blood thrown on for good measure. There's some epic fights in the future. The book goes weird places near the end but I'm excited to see what happens with the show.
@@marcoscarrasco92 So far the show is superior. It’s being revised by the original author, meaning the stuff that didn’t work at the time are being changed and adjusted (like the entire fight with Omni Man, in the comics isn't half as emotional, heck after Mark tells him "You dad" he doesn't seem visibly affected by it, heck he's about to punch Mark, while in the show you can tell he regretted his life choices right after Mark said that). What the comics have over the show is that it’s a finished story. The show will take at least another 6 years to finish.
I think hes more like thousands of years old, rather than hundreds. He said his time here was a spec in his lifetime. That makes it sound like thousands, or more likely tens of thousands to me. And the fact that you age slower the older you get, and how Mark isn't even completely pure blooded but he would still live for thousands of years. And thousands can still mean tens of thousands too.
Yeah. also there's an idea that people process time logarithmically. So it feels like it's moving faster as you get older. If that's the case than an 80 year lifespan might be just be the equivalent to a weekend for him.
He's thousands of years old, yeah. Mark not being pure-blooded is just a technicality. Viltrumite DNA overrides foreign DNA, particularly in the case of humans who are abnormally compatible with Viltrumites. That means that, biologically speaking, Mark is indistinguishable from "pure" Viltrumites, and has all of their abilities.
Appreciate that the subtitles actually leave it behind an ellipsis on a new line, instead of just putting it in a single sentence of text like some shows do
@@ygkemosabi8280 Honestly, if he loves her as much as I love my dog, then she is one of the most loved creatures in the universe I *wish* most Viltrumites thought of humans as pets
@@ygkemosabi8280 my guy Omni man was truly honest with this comparison 😂😂 the guy loves Debbie for sure and he seemed sad while saying that. It’s him’ remembering that Debbie is going to be alive for a very short period of time compared to his life span… but I’m sure he’s perfectly aware of the impact of his words on mark’s mind. I think he just really wanted to make a point and try to separate him and mark from all human beings
I don’t think I ever been more excited for a reaction video in my entire life I’m literally watching their reaction on a TV a fucking flat screen TV that’s how excited I usually watch reaction videos on on my computer but this was a special exception
I say this too much. EP1: Omni-man trains his son. EP8: Omni-man "trains" his son. I love seeing people's reaction to that scene. My reaction was basically me laughing hysterically in disbelief like "what the fuck is this show".
@@magne7771 I thought it was a perfect touch. It made me feel so horribly uncomfortable because they were such scared and pathetic screams, it hurt me to hear Mark sound so distressed...
I'd love to see Amazon greenlight a whole side miniseries of Invincible Character Origins. Just one season and each episode focused on a single character ending with a two part finale of Atom Eve and Rex Splode. It would be perfect.
Invincible ran for 144 issues as a comic book. One of my favorites. This series was just mostly the first arc, there is so much more, and many twists and turns that kept it fresh. The animation diverts a bit from the book, still strong, and I'm hoping it continues with enough time to tell the story without compromising very much.
Honestly the changes are not too big, and most are justified (like moving robots story a bit) and some are to adapt it to today instead of 2003 and give more content
@@anjaneyasreetrout2444 I tried to start reading the comic because I was so excited for what happens next and I don't know if I'm biased because I saw the show first but the show also seems way better to me than the story and pacing of the comic
I'm so impressed you stated that Omni-Man is the better character because of how complex he is. That's such an apt observation. The show's emotional notes don't hit without that being conveyed in the voice acting and writing.
Mark has lots of hard fights. Big wins, hard losses. All through the story and what’s to come. But the biggest thing that sets him apart is his heart. It was the only thing that could stop Omni Man
I don't know how it's approached in the comics as I haven't read it, but I hope there are some things about the mom. She is the reason Mark is so caring and selfless, because she has so much humanity and empathy and she taught him all this. Consequently, she is also the reason Omni man stayed for so long, and didn't destroy earth; as we see in the baseball scene, she instilled in him the empathy and love for humans he tries to fight away in his last scene It broke my heart to see her end up feeling betrayed and like all of it was meaningless and a lie, not seeing the sheer strength and impact of her love and compassion. It literally saved earth
Even that is a spoiler. I'm now thinking maybe they make up but Nolan dies. I'll probably see a hundred other comments like this before season 3, and basically figure it out completely.
Love the reaction. You guys nailed it! Nolan was trying convince himself as much as he was mark. He was upset at himself for feeling love for the humans in his life.
I was waiting for this so much. Also, I really think that Vinland Saga would be perfect for them. It's literally Vikings meets AOT. It's super deep, has complex characters, strong ideas, and a lot of amazing and reactable moments (not to mention season 2 coming soon, and it's based on a great manga arc).
they are planning to watch it later this year. (they are going to do it so they finish reacting to season 1 once season 2 begins to release so there is not a wait in between)
@@cr4zybird oh word? That's best news yet. I am pretty new to their channel, but based on what I have seen, I know for sure that it will be right up their alley (more than code Geass and Demon Slayer for sure). Can't wait for Thorfin to become "my boy".
100% agree with Vinland Saga over Code Geass or Demon Slayer. Speaking of stuff they'd like, I have a theory that they would absolutely adore Haikyuu and it would easily be one of their top shows. Since they're fans of K-dramas, I also wouldn't mind them mixing things up and trying out some more drama focused anime like Violet Evergarden, Your Lie in April, Fruits Basket, Anohana (even if it might not be as popular). A Your Name movie reaction would be a dream come true. If they did a Patreon only movie reaction, I would definitely pay to see it.
@@sharkbait3546 I really want them to react to Monster like seriously it's an anime that it's right up their alley in terms of good and complex characters and intelligent storytelling and something stressful to watch like Steins Gate is also another great pick
Mark truly is incredible. This was straight up the most heroic thing I have seen done in superhero media. Sure it takes courage to fight for what's right, but usually heroes in these kinds of stories, can get a few punches in too. Here, our boy has the courage to go into a hopeless fight, and no matter how near to death he gets beaten, he stayed true to the right thing. At a point he had to realize that his dad was going to kill him, but he never said "alright, have it your way". That's more inspiring than just knocking out some big bad guy. Mark is invincible, in that he gets his shit kicked in every other fight, but he always gets back up afterwards. God I hope season 2 manages to be as good as this. This adaptation is wildly different from the source material, so it's pointless to guess how things will go. I just hope they do to seasons 2 and 3, what they did here.
Being a teenager doesn't excuse Amber for being a shitty person, she's manipulative and possessive, she blackmailed a student just to get Mark's number and she wasn't even really interested in him until she saw him hanging out with Eve.. but sure, people overreact lol. Mark deserved better and he will soon...
Agreed being young is no excuse for being trash... sure we forgive them because they're younger but there's nothing wrong with calling her out because its fiction lol
She didn't blackmail anyone to get Mark's number, William straight up offered to give it to her. Did she blackmail another student? Yes. It was the guy that beat Mark down, Todd, which he did because Mark tried to stop him from sexually harassing Amber. All she did was make him apologize to Mark and give Mark her number. That was a power move. She put the bully/harasser in his place, and demonstrated to Mark respect (by forcing the punk to apologize) and interest (making the punk give him Amber's number). (She really put the Todd in his place. Not only did she use her power over him to make him apologize to someone he wronged, it was the guy that tried to defend her from his unwanted advances. Who she also forced Todd to give her phone number to, clearly demonstrating how uninterested in Todd she was.) Possessive? Don't see it. She was curious to get to know him, though. Guy was an enigma to her, she wanted to figure him out. And she did. She also treated Mark as if she believed his excuses. Either she was right about her guess and Mark was just bad at lying, or she was wrong and just fed her stupid excuses. When it got to the point where she couldn't take the shit anymore, she broke up with him. After everything she'd tolerated, being treated like she wasn't important, being fed obvious lies... She was done. She felt that if she really was important to him he would have told her the truth, but he didn't. But, hey, teenagers. Teenagers suck. Mark's first relationship. First relationships often don't go well, people are just learning. And Mark was doing it with the difficulty cranked way up. Not sure about Amber's dating history. At any rate, a lot of guys think Amber was upset that Mark was busy saving people/the world was making him late for dates and such. She wasn't. She was upset because *he was lying to her*. For almost half a year she tolerated it, before she reached a breaking point, and concluded that she obviously wasn't important enough to Mark for him to reveal the truth. As I see it, they both fucked up. Her expectations were too high and Mark treated the relationship as a hobby.
@@qawamity lmao he's referring to how she blackmailed the bully with embarrassing pictures to apologize to Mark and give him her number... not reading the rest of your comment tl:dr and such
“Looks like I wasn’t the only person being lied to.” All the extremely heavy stuff Mark has recently suffered (including having his own father murder hundreds of people right in front of him and then almost beat him to death) and this girl STILL tries to play the victim and make it about herself. Personally I hope that toxic relationship ends next season.
Also Amber drives me absolutely insane this episode lol “GuEsS I wAsNt ThE OnLy OnE LiEd tO.” And “ThEy KnEw?!” (in a irritated tone) like as if it’s appropriate to bring up any of that bs “mark lied to her” sh*t after all that Mark just went through.
When Mark said 'You, Dad', I realised while he was fighting to save the world, he was also fighting to save his dad. If his dad is the only one he is going to have, he would rather fight the empire with him and join him in conquest.
Girls, I think Mob Psycho 100 deserves your attention, it's such a good show. I have a feeling that you'll enjoy it as much as everyone who watched it.
Honest Cencil is like the MVP version of Lex Luther. I like how stoic he is but when Debbie is literally at a loss for words he wants to comfort her whilst also helping Mark
What I love about this show is that it doesn’t use violence and gore for no reason, and it doesn’t act nihilistically. The violence is horrifying, and hope endures. The show maintains its humanity.
Been waiting for this. Your reaction, especially Milana's, to the subway scene and the end fight was priceless. Look forward to season 2 for more from you both.
48:22 Being a perfect human being is one thing, being a DECENT human being is another. Come on, people. Shitty behaviour is shitty behaviour. We don't need to make excuses for it. I'm not saying that Amber is Omni-man level (which is insane if people are actually making that claim). However, given that she was aware of what he was doing and what his responsibilities may have been we should at the very least be able to acknowledge that for her the react as she did was unbelievably selfish and super manipulative. My assumption is that this may have been the result of just a weird writing decision by the staff for the show, because her being that massive of a turd came out of left field to me. But if this pattern continues throughout season 2 and beyond, then yeah...she sucks.
Are you going to do the Atom Eve special before season 2? Btw, the whole laced tap water thing in the end there is actually the explanation on how their stealth technology works. Their soldiers aren't going invisible, they just use certain light waves to hide themselves.
I loved this show so much, literally every character in this show except amber is so amazing and easy to relate to, but they slaughtered amber so badly, she is just a walking red flag. 1) She blackmailed a dude as her introduction, it initially comes off as funny, but its actually messed up if you think about it, bully or not. 2) When mark didnt show up to her family dinner, she said "I had already dumped you that night" when either A, she already knew he was a super hero, and for HIM to get beaten to that point, clearly he was doing something more important than soup kitchen volunteering. Or B, she didnt know yet, and HE WAS FREAKING HIT BY A BUS, but she still instantly brings it back to all about her and how he hurt her by missing her dinner while he's still literally bruised and limping from his accident 3) She belittles him in front of all those people and his friends for abandoning her at the college, when she ALREADY KNEW he was invincible, didn't abandon her, and just saved their lives. She is publicly humiliating him in hopes of emotionally manipulating him into giving up his secret, and it worked! And then despite doing that, she got what she wanted but still played it too little too late to keep him in the lower role. 4) She comes back to him after he just found out his dad is a geocidal sociopath, who lied to him his whole life, and just beat him to a inch of his life, using his literal body as a weapon to kill thousands of people in front of the entire world, and says "guess I wasn't the only one being lied to." So she just compared his fathers level of dishonesty to marks, basically saying, "look, thats what it feels like to be lied to, now that you know how I felt we can get back together because now you empathize with me." He literally just experienced one of the most traumatic things I can even imagine, and she still put herself in the role of the victim there, and like she is willing to take him back. Like holy crap she is so unfathomably toxic in her relationships. She's a good person with how she helps people and all that, and there is respect to be given for that, but the way she interacts with mark is so unhealthy it makes it hard to watch. Mark did make the mistake of dragging her along, specifically by continuing to promise that he was gonna do better, with no actual plan or ability to be able to do better, he was basically just hoping for better luck, which wasn't okay. When she initially started dumping him after he missed her moms dinner, he should have either told her his identity then (which i think was way to early and a horrible idea) or at least said, "You're right that you deserve to have your time respected. But I care about you. The help I do with my dad is confidential, so I cant really explain why im late sometimes, but I can promise that what we are doing is really helping people, and its important work. I cant promise to do better, but I can promise to never be late unless its incredibly important, and never blow you off irresponsibly." or whatever crap, and if that was enough for her great, if not they break up there. So mark isnt perfect, but its his first relationship, let alone he's still learning to be a super hero, so i think he did really well, and he deserves better than amber, and better than to be hated on from all his friends like he was the bad buy
Amber you were siding with Amber because Mark had kept secrets from her. Mark's a teenager, Mark's the same age as her. If you want to say "chill she's a teenager" then hold the same standard for Mark as well and say the truth about it, they both fucked up. The only difference is this though. Amber didn't want anything to do with Mark until he became interesting to her and got international attention on him. Mark wanted to date Amber well before he knew anything about her and cared about her. Lets be honest, you'd definitely not be saying "lets chill she's a teenager" if the Sexes were swapped and that's fine, it's understandable why you'd do that. Just be honest about it.
@@BhBc8f8 if it's irrelevant then it shouldn't bother you that I and those like me are saying these things. It's just "silly irrelevancies from silly people with silly thoughts" right? But you have to say its silly and you have to say its irrelevant for some reason. Now we can guesstimate on what the reason might be but as it stands I think we all know what the reason is.
note how they can't just ignore it and move on.... the reason for this is rather simple, the Amber question shows a level of inherent bias in a certain section of the population that believe it's ALWAYS okay when a woman does something and its ALWAYS bad when a man does something even if they make the identically opposite arguments for one compared to the other. It's sort of a clue when you know that the person you're talking to doesn't have the ability or understanding of representing things evenly. and like I said its' perfectly okay to do this, women are hypergamous by nature and they seek to make themselves both infallible and victimised at the same time. Remember they don't care as long as they are the one "in the right" even if "in the right" means contradicting what they just said a minute ago.
So close Lola when you said Mark didn't shut down. That's the whole point. Mark can be pummeled and torn apart but he keeps coming back. He defeated his father because his spirit is unstoppable, his spirit is INVINCIBLE!
Everyone seems to be moved the most by Matk saying he'd have his Dad. But for me, the most memorable and evocative feeling I had, was the train scene. It was so horrifying and cruel and awful, and unforgiveable. Its what makes me cry the most.
Honestly Omniman basically has the same super old jaded mindset every vampire on the vampire diaries has. They're all so old and desensitized to death they come off as psychos to others.
Episode 1 Lola: We are so happy to react to a fun show for once, I don't always want to see show that hurt me. Episode 8: Hold up... Brilliant reactions ladies, your channel is a youtube gem
The most crushing thing is Omni man doesn't see himself as human and tries to disconnect himself from humanity, but he's so clearly human like everyone else is, I mean look at him! He looks and sounds like how you'd think a hardworking dad would look and sound like.
To me the thing with the zombie army is pretty good cause Cecil said they were dead soldiers so it isn’t to bad they put their lives on the line to protect so I’m sure a bunch of them would be willing to be join it after death it’s like donating your organs but to help humanity!!
*just in case, AOT spoilers* I saw this series like half a year ago and just know i realized that Omniman and his self-conflict reminds me to Reiner Bert and Annie lol, especially Reiner who had serious mental issues around all that situation
I find that Nolan's point of view is obviously morally lacking, but no one has offered him any alternative that makes sense. No one who eats meat or squashes annoying mosquitoes has any moral high ground to complain to a guy who is basically just removing anthills from a landscape to create a Mall, a Hospital and/or a parking lot. And he happens to think and act in a way that's actually kind of compassionate to the ants, all the while still putting his own species above. Nolan's character makes perfect sense and I think that if others had seen him for who he is then maybe the case for Earth would have been easier. "Look, I get it that you guys are superior beings. But even as pets, don't you want to love and care for your pets?"
Your augment falls apart. Omniman was going to make the world better. Now everyone who dies from cancer, starvation, or war is blood on Mark's hands. Omniman was morally superior because he would have done the most good.
@@chinafuture6484 Yeah, he clearly wasn't actually going to make the world better for humans. You can tell it's just Viltrumite propaganda because of how little he values them. He could give them all the good things without joining them into the empire
You know, if I was Mark, my response after that bit with the woman in her child, the response I felt in my gut watching this scene? "You think they're pathetic? You're pathetic! You've forsaken the only thing that actually matters, compassion, for some ugly, lame, disgusting, transient faith in 'strength'? You're nothing. You're less than nothing. You're another problem to be solved."
That was different. Seeing Milena break before Lola, I mean. To be fair, Nolan was offering Mark a pretty sweet deal in the beginning. An army of Viltrumites forcibly taking what they want is not what you want descending on your planet. Cecil threw everything he had at Nolan, repeatedly, and he managed to get a nosebleed out of it. We've also seen Nolan savage an entire planet that had more advanced tech than Earth. Hopefully, you girls don't make the mistake of thinking Nolan is the strongest. Because he's not even close.
Have you guys thought about watching Barry? It’s a GREAT show with plenty of great story, action, comedy, and acting. Season 3 is airing now, would be a great show for y’all to watch
Nolan is actually more like 2500 years old. Imagine living 2000+ years being indoctrinated into a way of thinking. Crazy to think that 20 years on Earth will change that. That's 0.8% of his life!
The question remains: What possible value could a planetful of weak, vulnerable, ephemeral creatures like us have to the invulnerable, overpowered, immortal people of Viltrum? I loved seeing the New Guardians of the Globe stepping up on their own, and come together. At least something good came from Omni. So... new reaction recommendations. I would very much like to see the two of you react to Reacher. I feel it's something you would enjoy.
There is actually a very specific answer to that question in the comic. I won't spoil it here obviously but...Earth was chosen for a reason. Stay tuned. 🙂
I was starting to watch your reaction video to FMA:B when I saw this one had already aired. I just closed the other video and jumped into this one. There will be time for other things, but this is the thing we've been waiting for
one thing i commend Mark for how strong he is mentally in terms of his father literally facepalming everyone in that train sequence and all blood and guts flying everywhere. that is traumatic
What is truly Invincible about Mark is his heart. Even after everything that Omniman has done to him, he still has the love in his heart to call him Dad. The strength of that love is what broke Omniman. His willpower was driven by hate, Mark's was driven by love. In the end, Omniman never stood a chance against that kind of power
“You dad. I’d still have you.” Will never not bring me to tears.
What an incredible line
This show normally doesn’t even get me to cry at all, but that line just always wrecks me.
That line was the beginning of my true investment in the comics
What a sucker punch
Same though.
Yeah i just looked up "how to destroy anyone in one quote" and this one was the first thing that appeared.

It reminds me of this meme I saw of Eren Yeager whispering to omni man "what do you think youre doing did you forget why you started this." lmfao
That kitty distracted one of the most powerful beings in this universe 😂😂
Yes, you can watch it back and see the seeds throughout, starting with his reaction to Mark having his powers
@@danh8804 It's like he was thinking "Come on, man! Will I have to do that?".
@@edwinseenit 😂😂😂😂
The twist was that this whole time, Omniman wasn't hoping Mark got his powers, he was hoping he WOULDN'T.
That way, Mark and Debbie will both eventually die off, and Nolan can then continue his conquest.
But Mark having his powers would mean living for 1000+ years, which is far longer than the Empire expects Nolan to have weakened the planet. Now Nolan has to continue his mission, and either get Mark on his side, or neutralize him as a threat.
This just blew my mind 🤯🤯🤯
I hadn't thought of this, very astute comment mate :)
@@blazednlovinit all his arguments were him basically convincing himself.
Debbie has a pet lifetime compared to him.
EVERYTHING was to convince himself
exactly, when he was talking to the tailor, "You think you have ALL the time in the world, and the something changes...." and in the first episode " I think it would have been better for us if Mark never got his powers" he was secretly hoping he could live that life with them, but now that Mark is a viltrumite, he has to train him, and continue his mission.
Heh, conquest. Makes me worried for that guy.
Mark is a true hero. He knew full well he stands no chance against his father… but he put his hands up and defended earth regardless. They’re lucky to have him
I'd say don't deserve him but hey 🤷♂️
@@001100AAAEA yeah all those little kids dont deserve a hero lmao
His determination to never give up even as a bloody and broken mess is what really makes Mark invincible
he's also the reason a lot of people died that day
@@karlluigi1987 At least the people knew it was Omni-Man that actually did this.

The scary thing about the Viltrumites is that Omni-Man seems to be the nicest of them all. I can’t even imagine how the worst of them are.

And yet he beat his son to a bloody pulp and killed hundreds of people while he did it. Nice, huh?

Dating a Viltrumite has got to be the most dangerous thing to ever exist.
@@alphamorion4314 bruuuh delete ur comment 🤣🤣🤣
Subway scene is whole next level, because you never see anything like this before.
My god.
It's a combination of reckless disregard for human lives, and the traumatizing pain of taking innocent lives, all on a massive yet personal scale
When Mark told his dad about his powers and he was shocked not because Mark finally had gotten his powers because he remembered what he was supposed to do all along
And that now instead of just waiting for Mark to grow old and die, he has to get him on his side or kill him so he doesn't get in the way.
I don’t he ever necessarily forgot but had Mark not gotten his powers, Nolan could’ve just lived on Earth with his family and carried out his plans after their deaths-which is what I think is what I think he was going for. Everything started when Mark got powers and Omni Man realized things would never be same. I still don’t get why he didn’t raise Mark differently if he already assumed his half Viltrumite DNA would give him those abilities. He was shocked but quite knowledgeable about it so begs the question of why he didn’t do things differently?
@@ambassadorbruh1200 I might be misremember but I think viltrumite abilities usually start showing up early puberty. Mark was an unusually late bloomer.
As for why his didn't raise Mark differently, He didn't know if Mark would get his powers for sure or not. The over-simplification human cells have two copies of each chromosome. One from each parent. Genes are either dominant or recessive. The dominant gene will basically override the recessive gene (Brown eyes overriding blue eyes for example). Dominance doesn't control what gets passed on as much. So in Mark's case, even though he has Viltrumite DNA and it's very potent (Dominant) if he had kids he could still end up pass only the human set he got from his mom on. Or the Viltrumite DNA could be recessive when paired with Mark's new spouse although I imagine that's more a concern when dealing with new species. That's why Nolan wanted to wait until he was sure.
“I guess we’ve both been lied to.” Sure, Amber. Your high school boyfriend lying to protect his secret identity is the same as said boyfriend’s father lying about murdering the world’s greatest superheroes and then nearly beating his own son to death.
Get over it. He shouldn't have lied to her, regardless of who his father is.

I think Nolan was planning on waiting until Debbie and Mark died of old age before he starts his conquest. But once he realized Mark is a Viltrumite, he decided there's no point in waiting since Mark is not going to grow old.
You guys are straight up the most intelligent, insightful, and empathetic react channel I’ve ever seen.
absolutely
They really are one of the best react channels. They're always picking up on small details Immediately that most people never pick up on.
there on par with semblance of sanity
the only ones who really pay attention on the show
I just love them so much! My favorite reactors by far.
Mark raising his hands might be one of the bravest choices anybody ever made in a superhero story, which is especially impressive since usually those are choices made by people who *aren't* superheroes themselves.
I sobbed helplessly first time I saw Mark answer his father's question. And it gets even worse when he asks "... dad?" Because he's hurt and he needs his father.
I loved Black Samson's "test" of the Guardians - to see if they'd stick up for the least popular among them, if they really were committed to each other. If he'd been serious, he wouldn't have joined in cleaning up with the others.
I'd never heard "We Are Infinite" until this, but talk about perfect use of licensed music. Like the whole world of this story letting out its breath all at once.
I still think Amber is just the freakin worst.
I agree with every statement.
Man, I wish they went for a route where Amber became scared of Mark instead (I mean it'd be scary to be dating someone who could accidentally kill you with their powers or something/knowing that by associating with them, you'll be targeted by villains). That would make her flip-floping feel genuine. It would also make her taking back Mark feel so much more impactful. She feels ashamed for feeling afraid and sees how he's a true hero and he'd never intend to hurt her and wants to try again.
Because amber IS the worst.
Pity they changed her from the comics just to fit a woke token raceswap checkmark
When Debbie revealed what she knew to Nolan, told him she didn't trust him, he was pissed off. He punched a hole into a wall in his own home because, as disciplined as he is, he could not fully contain that anger. The next day, was just so pissed instead of walking outside to fly away, he just blasted off straight up out of the living room. But he did not so much as raise a hand to Debbie.
While fighting the kaiju (tentacle monster thing) with Mark, did you see his face? When The Immortal came in and kept preventing him from helping Mark as Mark was getting beat by that monster? He was afraid for Mark. Omniman knew how dangerous that beast was, he was afraid it might actually be able to kill his boy.
The whole rampage of slaughtering civilians while fighting Mark? He was trying to convince not only Mark, but himself, that all of this was necessary. He knew how horrible he was being. And in the end, when it came down to his son or his people, he chose his son. But he also knew at that point that he had done so many awful things, quite publicly, that there was no "going back to normal", he burned that bridge pretty thoroughly. And still, he chose his son over his people, and left.
Invincible and Arcane have one interesting thing in common: a villain who's weak point is their child.
Also, Nolan knew his own people would kill him for making the choice of his son over them. Yet he did it anyway.
@@Zartoo_3rd_Overlord_ofBlargon7Nah, Nolan for sure is the most powerful Viltrumite. When they invade Earth, he and Mark will destroy them mid-low diff.
@@blackirontarkus3156Actually he is powerful but there are many viltrumites that are much stronger than him, he is nowhere near to being the strongest.
@@blackirontarkus3156 Nolan is mid tier. He's far from being the weakest, and in fact pretty up there, but there are plenty Viltrumites who shall not be named that could smoke him like a cheap cig.
@@jasonjohn3612 Many? No, only one for certain (and _maybe_ two). Thragg, who considers strength to be the only consequential qualifier for leadership, told Nolan that in his absence, he was the most qualified to lead the Viltrumites. That's the strongest Viltrumite admitting Nolan is only second to him in strength.
Gotta respect those fighter pilots, they knew they could not even put a scratch on omni man and would probably be killed but still followed through with that suicidal order.
Their enthusiastic "direct hit!" makes me believe they didn't fully realise how powerful he was. IMO Cecil sent them to die but they didn't realise it was a suicide mission
@@octave38 I would agree but I think everyone on earth knows who Omni Man is and they knew who their target was and still followed though.
Cecil sent those pilots to their deaths for no reason. Just another blunder of his.
@China Future Your comments seem kinda random. But a few people did say that pilots weren’t gonna do much so I won’t say anything
I remind you that Cecil took a creature that almost defeated Omniman and modified it to make it more powerful. Mark defeated it by himself and just later he stood his ground against his own father. People mocks Mark because his name is Invincible but lost a lot of fights, but he's invincible because he fights until the end
Mark isn't necessarily Invincible because he can't be hurt, but his morals and optimism are invincible.
Mark is not as powerful as his dad. He is invincible when compared to most humans, dont forget how he chose that name while playing baseball with his dad. As for the creature, mark beat it because he grabbed powerlines which in turn fried the creature so it was not his actual strength that beat it.
As for mark and his dad, omni man is likely thousands of years old with god knows how much combat experience, we dont know what age viltrumites peak physically. So i am sure mark who is just a few months into his powers is a baby mentally and physically in combat when compared to omni-man
@@sebastianjoseph2828 Not his morals. Going by the comics.
His spirit is invincible
Viltrumites are pretty much sayians. Outside their race, they pretty much invincible lmao.
"What's 17 more years...I can always start again...make another kid." Literally one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever heard.
I've read the comicbook years before this show, but by the time the baseball flashback happened I was sobbing.
Which one did you enjoy more? I've heard the comic book is more of a parody of super heroes, while the show is more dramatic and has real stakes, because there are consequences for the characters. I'm wondering if that is true and which you would say is better.
@@marcoscarrasco92 the comic is also very dramatic and powerful. I read the whole series after watching the show. Its amazing and we havent even scratched the surface of whats to happen yet.
@@marcoscarrasco92 In terms of what's covered so far in the show it's pretty similar. Some things are switched around and tweaked but so far it's still the same story, but I think the way it's done in the show was more powerful. The books to me felt like dragon ball z with superheroes, with like 100 buckets of blood thrown on for good measure. There's some epic fights in the future. The book goes weird places near the end but I'm excited to see what happens with the show.
@@frutoishThe Conquest. 😁😁
@@marcoscarrasco92 So far the show is superior. It’s being revised by the original author, meaning the stuff that didn’t work at the time are being changed and adjusted (like the entire fight with Omni Man, in the comics isn't half as emotional, heck after Mark tells him "You dad" he doesn't seem visibly affected by it, heck he's about to punch Mark, while in the show you can tell he regretted his life choices right after Mark said that).
What the comics have over the show is that it’s a finished story. The show will take at least another 6 years to finish.
I think hes more like thousands of years old, rather than hundreds. He said his time here was a spec in his lifetime. That makes it sound like thousands, or more likely tens of thousands to me. And the fact that you age slower the older you get, and how Mark isn't even completely pure blooded but he would still live for thousands of years. And thousands can still mean tens of thousands too.
Yeah. also there's an idea that people process time logarithmically. So it feels like it's moving faster as you get older. If that's the case than an 80 year lifespan might be just be the equivalent to a weekend for him.
He's thousands of years old, yeah. Mark not being pure-blooded is just a technicality. Viltrumite DNA overrides foreign DNA, particularly in the case of humans who are abnormally compatible with Viltrumites. That means that, biologically speaking, Mark is indistinguishable from "pure" Viltrumites, and has all of their abilities.
That train scene is iconic. It’s iconic in the worst way possible, but iconic nonetheless
"She's more like a... a pet to me." Must be one of the greatest gut punches in all of television.
sadly i think most people misinterpret it...
Appreciate that the subtitles actually leave it behind an ellipsis on a new line, instead of just putting it in a single sentence of text like some shows do

@@ygkemosabi8280 my guy Omni man was truly honest with this comparison 😂😂 the guy loves Debbie for sure and he seemed sad while saying that. It’s him’ remembering that Debbie is going to be alive for a very short period of time compared to his life span… but I’m sure he’s perfectly aware of the impact of his words on mark’s mind. I think he just really wanted to make a point and try to separate him and mark from all human beings
I don’t think I ever been more excited for a reaction video in my entire life I’m literally watching their reaction on a TV a fucking flat screen TV that’s how excited I usually watch reaction videos on on my computer but this was a special exception
I say this too much.
EP1: Omni-man trains his son.
EP8: Omni-man "trains" his son.
I love seeing people's reaction to that scene.
My reaction was basically me laughing hysterically in disbelief like "what the fuck is this show".
I was stunned, but mark's yelling was just too much lol
@@magne7771 I thought it was a perfect touch. It made me feel so horribly uncomfortable because they were such scared and pathetic screams, it hurt me to hear Mark sound so distressed...
That scene alone felt more gruesome and visceral than any animated DC film, good god.
I remember some dialogue between Rex and Eve that implied that he has a troubled family background
I hope they adapts his special, basically like an ova. It's actually really good to understand the character
I'd love to see Amazon greenlight a whole side miniseries of Invincible Character Origins. Just one season and each episode focused on a single character ending with a two part finale of Atom Eve and Rex Splode. It would be perfect.
Invincible ran for 144 issues as a comic book. One of my favorites. This series was just mostly the first arc, there is so much more, and many twists and turns that kept it fresh. The animation diverts a bit from the book, still strong, and I'm hoping it continues with enough time to tell the story without compromising very much.
Honestly the changes are not too big, and most are justified (like moving robots story a bit) and some are to adapt it to today instead of 2003 and give more content
The changes make it far better than the comics.
@@anjaneyasreetrout2444 I tried to start reading the comic because I was so excited for what happens next and I don't know if I'm biased because I saw the show first but the show also seems way better to me than the story and pacing of the comic
grew up without a dad, and that “you dad, i’d still have you.” line consistently makes me cry
I'm so impressed you stated that Omni-Man is the better character because of how complex he is. That's such an apt observation. The show's emotional notes don't hit without that being conveyed in the voice acting and writing.
Mark has lots of hard fights. Big wins, hard losses. All through the story and what’s to come. But the biggest thing that sets him apart is his heart. It was the only thing that could stop Omni Man
I don't know how it's approached in the comics as I haven't read it, but I hope there are some things about the mom. She is the reason Mark is so caring and selfless, because she has so much humanity and empathy and she taught him all this. Consequently, she is also the reason Omni man stayed for so long, and didn't destroy earth; as we see in the baseball scene, she instilled in him the empathy and love for humans he tries to fight away in his last scene
It broke my heart to see her end up feeling betrayed and like all of it was meaningless and a lie, not seeing the sheer strength and impact of her love and compassion. It literally saved earth
"What will you have after 500 years?" That hits hard. Specially at the end of the comics...
Even that is a spoiler. I'm now thinking maybe they make up but Nolan dies. I'll probably see a hundred other comments like this before season 3, and basically figure it out completely.
Love the reaction. You guys nailed it! Nolan was trying convince himself as much as he was mark. He was upset at himself for feeling love for the humans in his life.
I was waiting for this so much.
Also, I really think that Vinland Saga would be perfect for them. It's literally Vikings meets AOT. It's super deep, has complex characters, strong ideas, and a lot of amazing and reactable moments (not to mention season 2 coming soon, and it's based on a great manga arc).
they are planning to watch it later this year. (they are going to do it so they finish reacting to season 1 once season 2 begins to release so there is not a wait in between)
@@cr4zybird oh word? That's best news yet. I am pretty new to their channel, but based on what I have seen, I know for sure that it will be right up their alley (more than code Geass and Demon Slayer for sure). Can't wait for Thorfin to become "my boy".
100% agree with Vinland Saga over Code Geass or Demon Slayer. Speaking of stuff they'd like, I have a theory that they would absolutely adore Haikyuu and it would easily be one of their top shows.
Since they're fans of K-dramas, I also wouldn't mind them mixing things up and trying out some more drama focused anime like Violet Evergarden, Your Lie in April, Fruits Basket, Anohana (even if it might not be as popular). A Your Name movie reaction would be a dream come true. If they did a Patreon only movie reaction, I would definitely pay to see it.
@@cr4zybird did they said that on patreon ?
If that so omg i'm so happy
@@sharkbait3546 I really want them to react to Monster like seriously it's an anime that it's right up their alley in terms of good and complex characters and intelligent storytelling and something stressful to watch like Steins Gate is also another great pick
Mark truly is incredible. This was straight up the most heroic thing I have seen done in superhero media. Sure it takes courage to fight for what's right, but usually heroes in these kinds of stories, can get a few punches in too. Here, our boy has the courage to go into a hopeless fight, and no matter how near to death he gets beaten, he stayed true to the right thing. At a point he had to realize that his dad was going to kill him, but he never said "alright, have it your way". That's more inspiring than just knocking out some big bad guy. Mark is invincible, in that he gets his shit kicked in every other fight, but he always gets back up afterwards.
God I hope season 2 manages to be as good as this. This adaptation is wildly different from the source material, so it's pointless to guess how things will go. I just hope they do to seasons 2 and 3, what they did here.
Omniman was going to create a better world and Mark stopped him. He isn't a hero, he's a failure and a fool

@Legato DeadWinters I saw and almost said something about it but didn’t want to assume and look just as stupid
Being a teenager doesn't excuse Amber for being a shitty person, she's manipulative and possessive, she blackmailed a student just to get Mark's number and she wasn't even really interested in him until she saw him hanging out with Eve.. but sure, people overreact lol. Mark deserved better and he will soon...
Agreed being young is no excuse for being trash... sure we forgive them because they're younger but there's nothing wrong with calling her out because its fiction lol
She didn't blackmail anyone to get Mark's number, William straight up offered to give it to her. Did she blackmail another student? Yes. It was the guy that beat Mark down, Todd, which he did because Mark tried to stop him from sexually harassing Amber. All she did was make him apologize to Mark and give Mark her number. That was a power move. She put the bully/harasser in his place, and demonstrated to Mark respect (by forcing the punk to apologize) and interest (making the punk give him Amber's number). (She really put the Todd in his place. Not only did she use her power over him to make him apologize to someone he wronged, it was the guy that tried to defend her from his unwanted advances. Who she also forced Todd to give her phone number to, clearly demonstrating how uninterested in Todd she was.)
Possessive? Don't see it. She was curious to get to know him, though. Guy was an enigma to her, she wanted to figure him out.
And she did. She also treated Mark as if she believed his excuses. Either she was right about her guess and Mark was just bad at lying, or she was wrong and just fed her stupid excuses. When it got to the point where she couldn't take the shit anymore, she broke up with him. After everything she'd tolerated, being treated like she wasn't important, being fed obvious lies... She was done. She felt that if she really was important to him he would have told her the truth, but he didn't.
But, hey, teenagers. Teenagers suck. Mark's first relationship. First relationships often don't go well, people are just learning. And Mark was doing it with the difficulty cranked way up. Not sure about Amber's dating history. At any rate, a lot of guys think Amber was upset that Mark was busy saving people/the world was making him late for dates and such. She wasn't. She was upset because *he was lying to her*. For almost half a year she tolerated it, before she reached a breaking point, and concluded that she obviously wasn't important enough to Mark for him to reveal the truth.
As I see it, they both fucked up. Her expectations were too high and Mark treated the relationship as a hobby.

great Invincible reaction ladies. It has been fun. Catch you for the next journey when season 2 airs
What I love about this show is that it doesn’t use violence and gore for no reason, and it doesn’t act nihilistically. The violence is horrifying, and hope endures. The show maintains its humanity.

Being a perfect human being is one thing, being a DECENT human being is another. Come on, people. Shitty behaviour is shitty behaviour. We don't need to make excuses for it. I'm not saying that Amber is Omni-man level (which is insane if people are actually making that claim). However, given that she was aware of what he was doing and what his responsibilities may have been we should at the very least be able to acknowledge that for her the react as she did was unbelievably selfish and super manipulative.
My assumption is that this may have been the result of just a weird writing decision by the staff for the show, because her being that massive of a turd came out of left field to me. But if this pattern continues throughout season 2 and beyond, then yeah...she sucks.
14:52 Yea... This subway scene is absolutely brutal
Season 2 and 3 were greenlit almost immediately after season 1 premiered. Love your channel, continue the great insight.
Omni man: " What will you have after 500 years "
Mark: " you dad.....I still have you "
Are you going to do the Atom Eve special before season 2?
Btw, the whole laced tap water thing in the end there is actually the explanation on how their stealth technology works. Their soldiers aren't going invisible, they just use certain light waves to hide themselves.
Episode 1 "this is so much fun! This is what we need, no trauma" 💀
I loved this show so much, literally every character in this show except amber is so amazing and easy to relate to, but they slaughtered amber so badly, she is just a walking red flag.
1) She blackmailed a dude as her introduction, it initially comes off as funny, but its actually messed up if you think about it, bully or not.
2) When mark didnt show up to her family dinner, she said "I had already dumped you that night" when either A, she already knew he was a super hero, and for HIM to get beaten to that point, clearly he was doing something more important than soup kitchen volunteering. Or B, she didnt know yet, and HE WAS FREAKING HIT BY A BUS, but she still instantly brings it back to all about her and how he hurt her by missing her dinner while he's still literally bruised and limping from his accident
3) She belittles him in front of all those people and his friends for abandoning her at the college, when she ALREADY KNEW he was invincible, didn't abandon her, and just saved their lives. She is publicly humiliating him in hopes of emotionally manipulating him into giving up his secret, and it worked! And then despite doing that, she got what she wanted but still played it too little too late to keep him in the lower role.
4) She comes back to him after he just found out his dad is a geocidal sociopath, who lied to him his whole life, and just beat him to a inch of his life, using his literal body as a weapon to kill thousands of people in front of the entire world, and says "guess I wasn't the only one being lied to." So she just compared his fathers level of dishonesty to marks, basically saying, "look, thats what it feels like to be lied to, now that you know how I felt we can get back together because now you empathize with me." He literally just experienced one of the most traumatic things I can even imagine, and she still put herself in the role of the victim there, and like she is willing to take him back.
Like holy crap she is so unfathomably toxic in her relationships. She's a good person with how she helps people and all that, and there is respect to be given for that, but the way she interacts with mark is so unhealthy it makes it hard to watch. Mark did make the mistake of dragging her along, specifically by continuing to promise that he was gonna do better, with no actual plan or ability to be able to do better, he was basically just hoping for better luck, which wasn't okay. When she initially started dumping him after he missed her moms dinner, he should have either told her his identity then (which i think was way to early and a horrible idea) or at least said, "You're right that you deserve to have your time respected. But I care about you. The help I do with my dad is confidential, so I cant really explain why im late sometimes, but I can promise that what we are doing is really helping people, and its important work. I cant promise to do better, but I can promise to never be late unless its incredibly important, and never blow you off irresponsibly." or whatever crap, and if that was enough for her great, if not they break up there. So mark isnt perfect, but its his first relationship, let alone he's still learning to be a super hero, so i think he did really well, and he deserves better than amber, and better than to be hated on from all his friends like he was the bad buy

you were siding with Amber because Mark had kept secrets from her.
Mark's a teenager, Mark's the same age as her.
If you want to say "chill she's a teenager" then hold the same standard for Mark as well and say the truth about it, they both fucked up.
The only difference is this though.
Amber didn't want anything to do with Mark until he became interesting to her and got international attention on him.
Mark wanted to date Amber well before he knew anything about her and cared about her.
Lets be honest, you'd definitely not be saying "lets chill she's a teenager" if the Sexes were swapped and that's fine, it's understandable why you'd do that. Just be honest about it.
christ you people are in serious need of a chill pill. it's so irrevelant i can't even begin to understand
@@BhBc8f8 if it's irrelevant then it shouldn't bother you that I and those like me are saying these things.
It's just "silly irrelevancies from silly people with silly thoughts" right?
But you have to say its silly and you have to say its irrelevant for some reason. Now we can guesstimate on what the reason might be but as it stands I think we all know what the reason is.
@@UncensoredScion riiiiight 👍
note how they can't just ignore it and move on....
the reason for this is rather simple, the Amber question shows a level of inherent bias in a certain section of the population that believe it's ALWAYS okay when a woman does something and its ALWAYS bad when a man does something
even if they make the identically opposite arguments for one compared to the other. It's sort of a clue when you know that the person you're talking to doesn't have the ability or understanding of representing things evenly.
and like I said its' perfectly okay to do this, women are hypergamous by nature and they seek to make themselves both infallible and victimised at the same time. Remember they don't care as long as they are the one "in the right" even if "in the right" means contradicting what they just said a minute ago.
@@UncensoredScion You can't force the redpill on the bluepills, brother. Let them suffer in the dark whilst we're dancing in the light.
The "You dad" is probably still one of the saddest moments in any media I've ever seen
Omniman is the most peaceful Viltrumite there is, let that sink in
Some have considered killing their children when they were grieving
So close Lola when you said Mark didn't shut down. That's the whole point. Mark can be pummeled and torn apart but he keeps coming back. He defeated his father because his spirit is unstoppable, his spirit is INVINCIBLE!
Can we get some applause for J. k. Simmons?
He’s incredible. In every role.
Everyone seems to be moved the most by Matk saying he'd have his Dad.
But for me, the most memorable and evocative feeling I had, was the train scene.
It was so horrifying and cruel and awful, and unforgiveable. Its what makes me cry the most.
Honestly Omniman basically has the same super old jaded mindset every vampire on the vampire diaries has. They're all so old and desensitized to death they come off as psychos to others.
2nd show to actually make me ugly cry, catch me on the right emotional subject and I'm a fricken waterfall.
Which was the first?
@@KingOfBboys "To your eternity" I got way too attached
Episode 1 Lola: We are so happy to react to a fun show for once, I don't always want to see show that hurt me.
Episode 8: Hold up...
Brilliant reactions ladies, your channel is a youtube gem
Y’all are like two proud, protective moms and I love it
The most crushing thing is Omni man doesn't see himself as human and tries to disconnect himself from humanity, but he's so clearly human like everyone else is, I mean look at him! He looks and sounds like how you'd think a hardworking dad would look and sound like.
I love how they're so supportive of Mark like some Aunts
I was pretty convinced by Omni man trying to make allegiance with earth and viltrum I was getting mad that mark isn’t seeing this through
Omni-Man trains Mark. 🙂
Omni-Man TRAINS Mark. 🙃🫢😬
Really hate the people that used Amber as an excuse to bash women. Fantastic commentary btw.
To me the thing with the zombie army is pretty good cause Cecil said they were dead soldiers so it isn’t to bad they put their lives on the line to protect so I’m sure a bunch of them would be willing to be join it after death it’s like donating your organs but to help humanity!!
I hope they adapt the whole comic. It's so good and all the changes made for the TV show are made by the creators themselves.
Please do Vinland Saga next. You guys will love it. Dope reaction and discussion as usual btw
The train scene never gets easy to watch
imagine having a kid with your pet
Don’t wanna
*just in case, AOT spoilers*
I saw this series like half a year ago and just know i realized that Omniman and his self-conflict reminds me to Reiner Bert and Annie lol, especially Reiner who had serious mental issues around all that situation
the train scene is crazier every time
My Dad would never try to hurt me just by watching this animation
That train scene fucked me up for days after watching it.
I find that Nolan's point of view is obviously morally lacking, but no one has offered him any alternative that makes sense.
No one who eats meat or squashes annoying mosquitoes has any moral high ground to complain to a guy who is basically just removing anthills from a landscape to create a Mall, a Hospital and/or a parking lot.
And he happens to think and act in a way that's actually kind of compassionate to the ants, all the while still putting his own species above.
Nolan's character makes perfect sense and I think that if others had seen him for who he is then maybe the case for Earth would have been easier. "Look, I get it that you guys are superior beings. But even as pets, don't you want to love and care for your pets?"
Your augment falls apart. Omniman was going to make the world better. Now everyone who dies from cancer, starvation, or war is blood on Mark's hands. Omniman was morally superior because he would have done the most good.
@@chinafuture6484 Yeah, he clearly wasn't actually going to make the world better for humans. You can tell it's just Viltrumite propaganda because of how little he values them. He could give them all the good things without joining them into the empire
I read a bit of the comics after watching this episode and man, the next season is very promising.
keep reading, it just gets better and better
You know, if I was Mark, my response after that bit with the woman in her child, the response I felt in my gut watching this scene? "You think they're pathetic? You're pathetic! You've forsaken the only thing that actually matters, compassion, for some ugly, lame, disgusting, transient faith in 'strength'? You're nothing. You're less than nothing. You're another problem to be solved."
thank you guys for reacting to Invincible. thanks a lot. you are the best.
That was different.
Seeing Milena break before Lola, I mean.
To be fair, Nolan was offering Mark a pretty sweet deal in the beginning. An army of Viltrumites forcibly taking what they want is not what you want descending on your planet.
Cecil threw everything he had at Nolan, repeatedly, and he managed to get a nosebleed out of it.
We've also seen Nolan savage an entire planet that had more advanced tech than Earth.
Hopefully, you girls don't make the mistake of thinking Nolan is the strongest.
Because he's not even close.
Mark is going to have to face off against an entire galaxies worth of pain, fear, and death
Have you guys thought about watching Barry? It’s a GREAT show with plenty of great story, action, comedy, and acting. Season 3 is airing now, would be a great show for y’all to watch
Nolan is actually more like 2500 years old. Imagine living 2000+ years being indoctrinated into a way of thinking. Crazy to think that 20 years on Earth will change that. That's 0.8% of his life!
The episode we've all been waiting for!
Watching every second because it's going to be nuts!
Oh the "shit gets real" episode... This one is gonna hurt.
Put Daredevil in the next poll!
Honorable anime mention: K-On!
The question remains: What possible value could a planetful of weak, vulnerable, ephemeral creatures like us have to the invulnerable, overpowered, immortal people of Viltrum?
I loved seeing the New Guardians of the Globe stepping up on their own, and come together. At least something good came from Omni.
So... new reaction recommendations. I would very much like to see the two of you react to Reacher. I feel it's something you would enjoy.
There is actually a very specific answer to that question in the comic. I won't spoil it here obviously but...Earth was chosen for a reason. Stay tuned. 🙂
Well uhhh... They become breeding stock.
Amber is the worst character on this show. Mark deserves better than her.
The significance of omni man leaving.
For sparing mark, he betrays his mission.
Now entire viltrum gonna hunt omniman down
I've been waiting for this all day
They started recording voice acting for season 2 within the last month.
I was starting to watch your reaction video to FMA:B when I saw this one had already aired.
I just closed the other video and jumped into this one. There will be time for other things, but this is the thing we've been waiting for
"Rex look like he grow up a spoiled kid"
Me huggin Rex : You dont know a thing about my boy!!!
one thing i commend Mark for how strong he is mentally in terms of his father literally facepalming everyone in that train sequence and all blood and guts flying everywhere. that is traumatic
What is truly Invincible about Mark is his heart. Even after everything that Omniman has done to him, he still has the love in his heart to call him Dad. The strength of that love is what broke Omniman. His willpower was driven by hate, Mark's was driven by love. In the end, Omniman never stood a chance against that kind of power
