How One Line Changes EVERYTHING : Invincible Season 2 Episode 8 Review 

Thoughts on Season 2?

Invincible: "Hey dad, I just met this guy in a spider suit." . Omniman: "Did you atleast get his pictures?" . Invincible: "Uhhh... No?" . Omniman: "THINK MARK, THINK!!! IF WE GET PICTURES OF THIS WALL CRAWLIN WEBHEAD, WE CAN EXPOSE FOR THE MENACE HE IS!!!"

I love the implication that Agent Spider has been dealing with different dimensions recently AKA Spider-Verse!

To quote Superman “I feel like I live in a world of cardboard.” So the villain telling the hero that they don’t need to hold back, is basically a death sentence.

I CANNOT stress enough how much I appreciate that they fleshed out Angstrom's hate towards Mark in the show. Seeing Sinister Mark kill a KID was very shocking. Like DAMN.

Nolans "I miss my wife" made me laugh so hard and I don't know why.

Mark and the audience: dude I legitimately forgot you existed, it's been a few months and a lot has happened

anyone else notice how the whole Greyson family by the end of the episode had black eyes on their right side?

"I thought you were stronger." That line really hit me. The whole Mark and Levi fight was so good. This was a great season finale. I can't believe they left us on a cliffhanger with Mark and Eve, though.

I love how Kate Prime has a zero on her logo, which is perfectly symbolic. All her clones have a number so they can tell them apart, and we all thought that the original Kate was number one because that is how we count, from one upwards, we don't count the zero, we know it's there, we know it exists, but we don't acknowledge it, just like Kate Prime

I loved the part when Cecil said : You are not him. Like damn 💀

This episode I literally yelled out loud "Debbie is such a badass!" when she flung to catch Oliver. That woman had a Deku "my body just moved on it's own" moment so quickly that she knocked over a chair. She may not be a superhero but she absolutely has the spirit of one.

Debbie is the queen of keep on rolling on. I would've been catatonic after all the bs she's had to deal with.

"I miss my wife tails..." is EXACTLY what I quoted as soon as I saw the ending Glad I wasn't the only one

I loved how the editing and shot composition when Mark was beating Angstrom to death mirrored Nolan beating Mark half to death

Now this really put context why Levy is incredibly hating Invincible. Almost all his memories is having meet evil Invincible. The comic never tell much and just kinda show him to be hating Invincible.

“If the bad guys die instead of the good guys I call that a victory.” That one line sums up Cecil’s character perfectly. This season really did a great job at showing the consequences of working for someone like Cecil. Almost everyone was getting tired of his shit this season. Mark, the immortal, and even Donald. He has good intentions but he’ll do whatever is necessary to protect the earth even if it means doing some of the most cut throat shit imaginable. And given what I know what happens with him later in the comics I say they are handling the buildup to him and mark budding heads over their ideals really well

I watched this episode with my dad as I have the entire show and immediately when mark went " I thought you were stronger" my dad instantly said "he's talking about himself more than he is angstrom"

One thing I think the show does worse then the comic is explaining how long Mark was gone from his PoV. You said to him, it just happened like an hour ago. But each time Mark was thrown into another portal, he was in that universe longer and longer each time. Levy was trying to wear him out. From Levy's pov, it was only moments. For Mark, he was gone for days each time. Maybe even months. It's why he goes through so many emotions each time he comes back. He's pissed at Levy, yes, but he has time to think between every trip.

4:01 You know Disney wouldn't let the Invincible show use Spider-Man. LOL This is as close as we're probably going to get to more Spectacular Spider-Man, but it was still beautiful hearing Josh's voice.

Deby getting her wrist snapped had been reacting so raw I cried genuinely horrified

I didn't read the comic, but I still saw it coming. As soon as Angstrom talked about his improved body my only thought was; 'oh honey, Mark's a Viltrumite.'

Josh keaton as Agent Spider was EPIC! 🕸️🕸️🕸️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️

I still can't believe that no one talks about how mark brought the dragons breath sniper to hit levy 💀😭

1. I really like the confirmation that Mark always holds back, and that Nolan could always tell. 2. That is definitely Rex. He didn’t say he made the Time Machine. He just said that the Guardians have four time machines in their custody.

You know, if you read the comics, you'll find they're playing everything pretty straight. Including the Angstrom, Mark stranded, and how he's rescued stuff. As well as dupliKate surviving. The Amber and Eve stuff, they seem to be taking certain liberties with. Except for her older self confessing. That was there and happened that way. All that said, loved the show, and love the videos. So excited to wait another 3 years for season 3.

I personally think all these shows are suffering from Amazon’s 8 episode limit. Thats not enough time to get everything across that needs to be before the finale. At least for the story that Invincible is trying to tell. Same with Hazbin Hotel. I feel the pacing would be better if these shows had a bigger time frame to work with.

I love that they show so much of Mark and Debbie. Debbie is a great mom. We don't really see too many talks with mom in superhero stories, and I'm glad she is so strong and loving.

i just noticed that everyone in Mark's family ( Mark٫ Nolan and Debbie ) all have a bruised right eye.... is that symbolism for family 😯

Even Superheroes have their “One Bad Day”.

Easter eggs of the in and out teleporting: Peters spider webs, Fortnite Exotic Dragons Breath Sniper

i was genuinely terrified that Debbie was going to die. part of me was like "there's no way", but this is Invincible

I like how Mark had like not idea what older Eve was talking about when she said she loved him. He's looking around with this expression like "wait really? Well how about that..."

One thing I'm really intrigued by that most people don't seem to be talking about is Evil Debbie. Levy straight up says how in most other realities Debbie supported her husband and son in their conquest. Like HUH? I kind of just assumed she died or wasnt around as much in those other realities. I'm sooo interested in this idea but I doubt they'll elaborate on it. Especially since Levy is a puddle now lol

let me just get this clear: LEVI BEGGED TO BE WHOOPED LIKE THAT, i seriously doubt Mark will be giving killing even an inch of room for tought after that

It's a little haunting, seeing every adult in Mark's immediate family having the same black eye like his own

I just can't possibly explain how goated this show is. It's just perfect in every way. I hate that we have to wait another 2 years (or smth like that) for next season...

I thought it was odd when Kate “died” that she didn’t have a reserve copy of herself somewhere just in case. Turns out she did and survived to hopefully enjoy retirement. Also, thank you for reminding us that Immortal is canonically Abraham Lincoln. Oddly enough, he put Mary Todd Lincoln through similar grief that he went through when he “died” to John Wilkes Booth. Poor woman never recovered from all the loss she suffered.

Now the black and blue has became a canon event

Not a comic spoiler, but they actually changed the order of events a tad here. In the comic Mark broke up with Amber AFTER future Eve told him how she felt, not before.

You think the writers are impatient with Mark and Eve? Wait until Eve finds out about the break-up. Fucking S-tier writing that.

This is as close as we're probably going to get to more Spectacular Spider-man, but it was still beautiful hearing Josh's voice.

The best part for me was mark constantly talking to himself after the fight with angstrom. You can see exactly the turmoil that’s going on in his head. He’s trying to make himself feel Better but by doing so he feels disgusted by himself, since it’s what Omni man wouldve done in his place. And to me, Levi was like ASM2 electro done right. A seemingly nobody that’s frustrated that the hero doesn’t remember him. He WANTS to be important, he wants to prove himself the better man by projecting all his own evil on mark not realizing he’s become the villain.

Yeah, season 2 was ALL cliffhangers. There is so much I want to say, but I can't spoil anything because I want the show-watchers to get their day in the sun regarding the shock and awe of next season.

If you think the Mark-Eve speed running was a problem here, you should’ve seen what happened in the comics. She literally waited until Mark was available and said: “We’re dating now, deal with it.”

Nolan Mark and Debbie all having swollen eyes, the entire grayson family is suffering right now.

This is just the start. Gonna be a real roller coaster next season.

Oliver, just a little baby crying over Debbie was such a good way to make us hate Levy, a guy who sees himself as an all powerful being, threatening to hurt a harmless child and woman while avoiding the actual threat to his life. Seeing mark cutting all his ropes to go all out on this sissy was just so, SO satisfying o7

one detail i found cool was that when mark was beating the living out of Angstrom, he was punching the exact same way as Nolan did to him

8:40 i have a feeling that robot was the one who died in the alternate timeline, and rex may have had to take his place as technician. i just can't believe that the guardians of the globe, knowing the real rex is dead, what call robot by rex's name. plus, the voice is too strong a coincidence.

12:15 "This either going to be the thing that saves the universe, or the thing that is never brought up again." I love the resignedness you say this with. This is Invincible, we have to deal with it.

I can't wait for season 3. I'll probably read through all the comics because I need more and also enjoy seeing differences between adaptation and original

"practically auditioned for an ass whooping" is probably the best way to describe the brutality against him. 🤣

this season finale was Incredible

1:19 AHHHH, OWEN AND GEOFF JUMPSCARE

Duplikates reveal was... something. It felt like a "oh yeah, this..." rather than a grand reveal. Granted I know she survived from comics, but man, that could've been its own thing - the potential for an episode exploring her, explaining, and giving her a sense of life would've been cool. Because outside the mainstays, she's there. Not knocking her, but she's the definition of there. If we can get Levy explored and showing his rage. His alternate lives experiencing pain...? Why not her...?

My parents and I love Invincible and cannot wait another two years. We theorize that it will take another seven seasons to cover the rest of the comics. Or they could cut off the original ideas for pacing. I remember wanting Invincible and Arcane to air in the same year they had their first season. I obviously didn’t know how much time animation takes.

So mark getting saved is exactly what happens in the comics and ssme for what eve says. To her its been 20 years of regret and she doesn't want the sams for his eve. Plus thats the only realistic way mark could have escaped.

If you feel the lack of emotion or the lack of that action from this season then do not fear. As a comic book reader this will only be the tip of the iceberg and I can confidently say from here on it's gonna be a bloodbath of a show. Picture this like the calm of the storm in a sort of way, whether they're dealing with Freddie mercury or a Dino man it's gonna be wonderful to watch most of this series finally be animated for the world to see.

The gag with the animation was one of the best this season, but the ancient tomb was pretty good too lol. The snapcube " *sigh* I miss my wife tails" fucking SENT me 😂😂

14:25 PLSSS I DIDNT TAKE THAT SCENE SERIOSLY BC OF THAT EGGMAN VID 😭😭

Rex dying and robot taking his name actually happens in the comics.

After he literally says : "I thought you we're stronger, you said you we're stronger than me!"

This Season finale hits me so hard in the emotional damage and hits me hard in the feels when I almost cried in tears

Hearing Chorus talk and theorize about things in the episode that get resolved or explained later in the comics is so fun. Little does he know

7:50 I don't mind the way season 2 ended. I mean it would be hard to out perform season 1. Not yet anyways. In order to do that you would need to plant the seeds necessary to pull that of. So i'll wait and let skybound cook.

So is it a running gag now that whenever we get a Spiderman lookalike, we get Josh Keaton to voice him?

I actually read the scene as Rex acting like robot because it makes more sense for Robot to have access to dimension hopping and time travel instead of Rex. I haven’t read the comics or anything so I’d

The crack in Steven Yeun’s voice in the beginning makes the meme funnier

whats funny is in the comics, the second Amber and Mark stop dating Eve shows up and basically asks Mark "so we fuckin or what", like instant she hears about it but the show is taking its time on that

The funniest thing in this episode is Future Eve tells Mark to tell present Eve whether he loves her or not so she can *move on with her life* , and just like Eve's advice about Amber he *does not* take her advice! What will it take for him to listen to Eve?! 😂😂😂

Debbie in this season was amazing to me. I really enjoy her character. I real mom who loves and sacrifices for her kids but is stills self sufficient and strong. She is one of the stand outs to the show for me. Her fighting for oliver and sacrificing herself to care for a kid that wasnt even hers. I loved her this season.

I really didn't care about the relationship aspect of the show, but I never felt like Amber overstayed her welcome, because these things take time, though the last few episodes I feel were weird when talking about it. I do think jumping on Eve is too fast, but it felt like that was something you wanted.

Comic book reader when he says they won’t kill a baby 😂😂😂😂

Season 3 is gonna go crazy but if we have to wait until 2027 to see it then I'm gonna be pissed

i really really appreciate your choice of background music, as i was vibing to it before realizing it was infact bbt

10:40 I THOUGHT THAT TOO! That phrase when from meme to profound so quick!

Anyone else notice that Mark, Debbie and Nolan are all hurt in the same eye?

About the Mark and Eve thing, in the comics, Mark and Amber were STILL together, when they start to get close, and Amber was seeing someone else on the side... Yeah, the comics make Mark and Amber look REAAAAAL bad, so this change is the best possible thing they could do. Oh yeah, The Ko-Hor mummy thing is show original, and it's just using Chloe Bennet and Ella Purnell in very small cameo.

One aspect of ep8 ending that I noticed is that Mark, Debbie and Nolen all have their right eye swollen. I see it as a damaged link to them and even though Nolen doesn't feel like he belongs, he still part of the family and needs to take responsibility for his actions instead of running away.

i believe that most of the season 2 finale is just a build up to all of season 3, which is why season 3 (when it does come out) is going to be amazing and be just as good as season 1

SPOLERISH DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ohhh don't worry he'll be back

Calling a man dressed up as a bat lazy when your main charcter can punch god, huh preaching to the choir arnt we invincible😂

Love that you used Alfred’s Eggman’s wife bit from snapcube. Cracked me up 😂

Been a while since we've been here, glad to see him return to this

Just gotta say the Steven Yeun absolutely made evey scene amazing. I would put him up with the best voice actors ever. Invincible wouldn't be as good as it is without Steven Yeun. The amount of emotions when he is talking to himself is absolutely amazing. I will always remember his name now and after invincible and watch anything he does. Dont get my wrong all the voice actors are amazing but Steven as Mark is next level voice acting.

I personally like Season 2 better. While Season 1 had a more self-contained story that was built up, each episode never packed the same punch overall imo. I like the Gaurdians showing up to save Mark that was one of if not my favorite part of the episode. This needed to happen. I also loved future Eve confessing her love.

Two things I really wish we did get to see in this episode were: Angstrom seeing at least one more good Mark. In the first episode when talking with the Maulers, he says “in most other dimensions” Invincible teams up with Omni-man, and we only ever see Angstrom’s visions of evil Mark. I think it would’ve been neat and compelling to see another good Mark to make his conflict with his memories even stronger, especially considering this Angstrom did truly try to save Mark from the Maulers in the first episode. The other thing I wish we got to see is Mark being confronted with an evil version of himself, to see and know what he had become in other universes, would’ve been pretty wild to see how that would screw with his mind, but considering how badly he was affected by killing Angstrom, I think that was pretty good enough.

Ok ...the trauma from his dad means Mark doesn't know any better and now is torn up defending himself from a guy. And now he wants to be a hero 24/7. That's great. I'm glad he thinks about it. He lives too long to worry about retirement.

*original timeline* Mark is starving eats Angstrom, the doctors come, but there's not enough of him to save

Lovw your content and reviews.

Hey I just finished this episode and stumbled across this channel. Really love the video! Agree with pretty much all of your thoughts, though I will say I never noticed the one-episode difference between Amber and Mark breaking up and Eve dropping Da Bomb in the future, but this could be partially because I watched them a few days apart. One thing I noticed is that maybe you could work on your annunciation, in some of these takes you sort of mumble a couple of worlds together and it can be hard to understand. Not trying to pick on you, I do it too.

theres so much they're setting up that people are forgetting and ignoring the core aspects of this season alone like how angstrom waswnt in it alot was the point that hes just some guy to mark dealing with threats in space while angstroms whole life revoles around mark. Mark beating angstrom the same way omniman beat him tearinh down the while idea that mark isint his dad. while also setting things up for the next season and for future events

You have no idea how even faster and ridiculous the whole Amber breakup to Eve dating happened. She literally shows up to his house in light of day and all smug "Hey i heard you're single, we're dating now". I'm not joking.

One thing i enjoy about this review is that it seems you haven't read the comics so some things may feel out of left field such as the future gaurdians and the eve reveal does happen like that in the comics (and imo was even faster than this lmao), or about angstrom levy's story, i cant wait to see you react to when things unfold

09:39 Naaa dude the universal reaction to that break up was a gigantic *FIIIINNNAAALLLYY!!!!!!*

I like Amber 🤷🏻‍♂️ Them missing each other is crushing 😔 Eve is cool and all, but I’ve yet to see the complexity in their relationship that’s compelling.

3:51 bro whacked him with a fortnite sniper 💀

I was so hungry for more after finishing Season 2 that I went off and starting reading the comics and... I really agree with your mid-season review in that Season 2 really needed a better hook; some sort of narrative throughput to keep every watching and engaged, because if the people that *only* watch the show had any idea what's coming... hoo boy

We have finally learned why he's called Invincible even though he's fully opaque - it's in reference to his invincible wings!
