Blind Reaction: Invincible Atom Eve Special 

this green ghost is a dude

The opening theme song is funny and very catchy.

You should do a video on worm to get it more out there! More people need to read it!

Probably made it easier for her to walk away from them.

@@PopeDuwang Easier to walk away from her “father”, could be a little hard to do it for her “mother” although she was still supportive in a way.

Yeah I love seeing these side or past things that really add context to a greater story in fictional works. Rewatching season 1 with this will really reinforce a lot of what we see from Eve. It also makes me feel even worse for Eve seeing how Rex treated their relationship. She went through so much shit and had a lot of trouble building genuine attachments with people, especially ones that knew about her powers. Being in a romantic relationship with someone that didn't mind her powers at all was probably a big deal for her and made her feel a lot better, but he took her for granted and treated her like trash. I already thought Rex was an asshole (albeit funny sometimes I must admit), this just makes me dislike him even more. Though knowing this makes me wish the writers had foreshadowed it a bit more. We didn't really see signs that she had this troubled of a past at all in season 1, which makes me wonder if they wrote it after writing season 1 (and I don't think it was even in the comics), so it does feel a tad bit out-of-nowhere for her to have one of the cruelest backstories in the series thus far. All we could gander was that she had parents that didn't accept her powers. Like I wouldn't expect her to just start having mental breakdowns out of nowhere because of it, but just, like, SOMETHING, you know.

@@TimeToGetAGoodLife I haven’t seen the entire comic series, but I would like to believe that Rex wasn’t all that bad in the past. Either way, I do know that he does get better later on after he learn a lesson when being the victim.

@@Zack_Zander I know a lot about the comics because I don't care about spoilers but I haven't read it myself either. Good to know.

Restricting it to just the show alone, I'd say yes to that. However, no spoilers, I think a character later on might take that spot from her, and it is a character we've seen a little bit of. Depends on how the show goes about them in comparison to the comics.

​@TimeToGetAGoodLife furry is overrated

I think they dropped this on purpose, to show us that the animation has been upgraded.

> from what i remembered she transformed by swallowing a green orb For a sec I forgot about that pill thing she took to transform and imagened she just randomly was almost hit by an apple-sized green orb from space and immediately decided to swallow the whole thing...

The animation was shockingly good. Like, ngl, the combat in season 1 was surprisingly one of the weaker points, for me, even though it's largely an action show, with superheroes and all that. It absolutely wasn't bad by any stretch of the word, but it was really carried by the choreography and the way characters used their powers, the actual animation aspect of it was just kind of decent. If it weren't for the clever writing of the fight scenes, the fights would actually be kind of mediocre in my opinion. But the fight on the freeway with Eve and her siblings was genuinely phenomenal and got me HYPED for the next seasons, clearly they have had a major upgrade, probably due to budget. I mean, when you think about it, they didn't know if Invincible would be a major success, so they probably held back on the budget, but then season 1 came out and everyone fucking loved it to obsession, so of course, it would get a major boost for the future seasons. And I mean, it's AMAZON we're talking about, literally one of the richest companies in the entire world, so budget isn't a major problem. But yeah, even the fight at the start with the Guardians seemed better than most of the fights in season 1, but even that didn't compare to the fight on the freeway, that was just incredible. From the animation to the choreography, which I must say, even that was improved.

Makes sense, the guardians are based off of the Justice League and multiple members are legacy heroes (Flash, Green Lantern, Batman sometimes)

Yeah i’ve never seen the comics but I only hope he dies and if he does or not don’t tell me spoilers

Yeah he just labeled her as a freak and didn’t even try to accept her, powers and all

@@christopherross8976 he’s the freak

@@christopherross8976 He labeled her as a freak before knowing she has power

Which is strange. It made more sense in the comics where they knew from the start she had powers.

Actually it’s more because he was content with his life on earth. He did love his family and most likely would’ve delayed Earth’s conquest until they passed. But with Mark getting his powers would mean for Nolan to reveal the truth

The struggle between his fascist conditioning and his mission vs what is probably the only happiness and fulfillment he's had in his life. And at that point, he didn't just retreat into fascist conditioning, although it was tempting.

@@thewandering01 Exactly. He's scared of himself, but he doesn't want to worry about these things. So much of him wants to forget about it all and prioritize his mission so he doesn't stop himself from his original objective before it's "too late", but he can't bring himself to do it because his life with Debbie and Mark has truly changed him into someone with compassion, understanding, and love. Sadly his mission mostly overrides that when he learns of Mark's powers, leading to his rampage in episode 8, but once again, the empathy that he learned from living on Earth was reignited for a brief moment by Mark's words, which stopped him, just barely, from doing something he would never stop regretting.

pretty sure they had one for monster girl and Allen too right?

Are those in the 3 book collections? I just ordered the first one of those

Understandable. I've never been a HUGE fan of superheroes, especially not the "big league" ones that are fighting universe destroying threats on a practically weekly basis. My favorite superhero was always Spiderman, I love the Spiderverse movies too.

@@TimeToGetAGoodLife Well, my favorites as a person that doesn't really read comics are also Spiderman cuz he just consistently great, and tbh, Ghost Rider. Idc if those old movies aren't great, they were my childhood and i still think he's one of the coldest things ever

Same bro. Here 13 days late because I somewhat lost interest in Invincible (though not entirely) because it's been so long that I forgot that Invincible is amazing. This really reignited my interest in the series and I'm hyped for season 2. It adds so much depth to Eve's character as well that it will REALLY pay off seeing her again.

Also warning COMIC SPOILERS Shark is so right on the whole "feel that Atom Eve hasn't tapped into her full potential yet".

@@soul6733Comic spoilers for up to season five? I imagine we’re going to get a Rex, Monster Girl, and Cecil version of this episode if the show gets a whole run.

I honestly think they just wanted to double down on her parents being assholes lmao

I'm curious to see Rex's backstory since he keep saying it "sucked" over and over. I'm curious to know how much it sucked or if he's just saying that.

@@caseyp5861 I'd say season 4 but a reasonable guess. X to doubt for Rex (probably gonna see his backstory in an episode, but just not on this level because he's simply not on the same level of importance as Eve), probably for Monster Girl, and I want to say definitely for Cecil because I love him but idk. All these characters just aren't as significant, and animation is expensive.

and her other brothers look like ed... ward...

@@wabbajocky8235 and they have similar powers lol.

Probably both

He was mad that Debbie wanted Mark to have powers, Omniman was happy living his pretend life until Mark and Debbie died, He didn't want him to have powers

@@jesusramirezromo2037 What if Mark had kids and grandkids

@@RAINBOWNIGTHMAREPRODUCTIONS You'll just have to wait and see

I think it was neither. It's up to interpretation really but I interpreted it as him being enraged at how ridiculous his son is. Omni-Man is a warrior whose boots have waded through the blood of thousands, a terrifying conqueror of worlds that was sent there to subjugate the planet under the rule of Viltrum, so to see his powerless son covering himself in duct-tape and pretending to be a "superhero" probably pissed him off. I don't think it had much to do with Debbie tbh.

bro she is literally 12

your comment is probably a joke but i think shark was using sexy as a synonym for cool

its amazing!

Him and homelander

@@monsterking1973 yes

I think she also voices Monster Girl.

It came out on Friday I think, it's brand new.

Lol same

I got a notification on Amazon prime phone app like the day before. I don't think they did any advertising at all

I hope she did.

He did lol

it's beautiful

Yesterday they released this special about Eve but they also revealed the release date for season 2 of invincible

@@monsterking1973 Oh damn, first part of season 2 is being released just 1 day after my birthday.

Well everything is in rotation so far with exemption of this and Helluva Boss which are special exceptions.

....................................why are.......... you...............talking in.........................morse code.................or some shit................................

His rotation is on the channel about page if you ever lose track

a paywall to view their reaction to content that other people made? that sounds dumb.

@@wabbajocky8235 I know right, but it's a thing the majority of reaction channels do on RU-vid. I'm interested in blind commentary but I'm not desperate enough to pay for a grown adult to watch cartoons (no matter how good it's written) not after witnessing a poorly edited version of it on RU-vid. Kickassreaction and Flaming Shark are the few that don't make their reaction exclusive to patreon (which I sort of respect)

The Shark always rises from the ashes. This guy was over 250k before his channel got deleted I think the third time?

@@SebastienGendron-uk4po What do you mean by a poorly edited version on RU-vid? Who was the reactor and what were they watching? How was it poorly edited? I'm just wondering.

@@kylesmyle4233 By ''poorly edited'' I meant it in the context of how they edit certain scenes that are not relevant and could easily be cut, the rest that stays unedited are boring commentary (which shouldn't be). Is for which reaction video I can't say exactly but they tend to be group reactions (consisting of 3 or more people talking over each other) or stream reactions where the reactor is constantly distracted by live comments or donations while they talk over the video. This type of reaction RU-vidrs not only constantly pause it every d*mn second but also expect Patreon money shows that they leech off of. At least flaming shark and Kickassreaction have archive websites where their audience can watch their videos for free. What truly confuses me is how Flaming Shark can post full unedited shows on RU-vid without getting strikes.

@michaelcarlton1484 so your fully team amber?

@@chongwillson972 The only bad thing Amber did was get verbally upset at the wrong time. Everything else was absolutely Mark's fault since he basically gaslit her into thinking he was finally going to commit and live his life with her in college and after.

@@michaelcarlton1484Mark doesn’t owe her all his secrets just because they’re in a relationship. They only dated for like five months and trust takes time to build. Expecting full and total openness from a partner who’s not comfortable sharing touchy personal information yet is an entitled toxic mindset and shows that you aren’t a person deserving of that trust. And if the relationship isn’t moving fast enough for you, you have every right to leave or talk about it. Plus she straight up lied to him in saying “you left us” since she already knew he was invincible. If she knew he was invincible for so long why did she not confront him about it? The mature thing to do would be to talk it out, but no she let her feelings bottle instead of communicating. I’m not saying this is bad characterization, but the show trying to pretend like Amber did nothing wrong is insane and harmful.

@@mouseonthestreets8675 Mark literally said he wanted to be college sweethearts with Amber. That's as close as a proposal a teenager can make. Especially with the context of them building their lives together. He basically made her think that he was finally going to be serious about their relationship and treat her as an equal. Amber had been putting aside her own time and energy to invest in the relationship whereas Mark was treating the entire thing as just secondary or only part of his life. Amber wanted a real relationship, realized that it wasn't perfect, and then waited patiently for months for Mark to commit. Then he finally says a bunch of stuff that makes it seem like he trusts her only to immediately lie to her again. Again, Eve literally told Mark that if he was serious with Amber, he should have told her sooner, because otherwise he was just stringing her along in a toxic relationship. Amber spent so much time and energy on Mark, but he didn't do the same. Yes, he is a hero, so time-constraints are there, but he still could have done SOMETHING to make the relationship work other than just lying all the time. He basically never talked to her about anything deep whereas she did. The most he ever did was talk about hobbies like comics. Being in a relationship where you have to do all of the work is exhausting, but at the same time, you want all of that investment to work out. That's the only reason I can see why Amber even bothered staying with Mark. That and Eve claiming something similar to 'he's one of the good ones'.

Huh?

Yeah he’s a bit sus with his words

Bout of you are weirdos, he was talking about the movement she was doing.

Eve ditching them was the right choice. They don’t deserve her, and thankfully she gets a happy ending in the comics.

Exactly. The dad is just straight up the worst, but the mom... She does try at least, but she should really take her own advice from time to time "I wish you'd try harder sometimes!" Neither of them really understand Eve, and in his case, don't even seem to care to try to at all, and being better than that is NOT a high bar to clear.

mfer what

@zzeroara9511 A character with personality, faults, and personal challenges that she must go through in order to fufill a character arc.

I would probably assume that it’s the way her subconscious manifests her abilities bc it’s her favorite color, so when she uses the light energy to make her fly and other stuff it comes out pink. But that’s my assumption.

Maybe it's that mystery molecule she made out Legos 😂

@@joryantoine2415 my problem isn't the pink color, but the substance's nature, what is it made out of, what particle? It may even be "light energy" as in photons, that is one of the possibilities I stated, but it's never explained

Bro what? How was it rushed? It was over an hour long so idk what you mean by them trying to fit in too much.

Calling a one hour episode rushed is crazy 💀
