Invincible 1x7 Reaction | We Need to Talk 

Episode 6 Amber : "where did you go you left us with that thing you lying piece of shit" Episode 7 Amber: "I knew you are a super hero I figured it out weeks ago" The Fandom: "This Bitch"🤦‍♂️

This episode is why Amber get's so much hate. If she knew for a long period of time that Mark was a superhero why did she blow up at him last episode for "not being there"? Like, at that point she's should've just confronted Mark about his being a superhero instead of continuing to yell at him for being late or absent for things she knows he has no control over.

Not her saying that "I'm glad that they are fighting in a open field"😂

One of the kids digging up The Immortal was Matt, the son of the guard from Episode 1 & 2. He said he got the location from his Dad so I assume for some reason the White House Security Guards had access to that info somehow. Kind of weird info to share with your step-son either way

The reason people hate on Amber now is because she already knew Mark was a superhero and broke up with him without considering his responsibility to have a secret identity, while also expecting him to make the move rather than coming to him about knowing. She wanted him to go way past half way with being honest about his identity, while she chose not to be honest about knowing it. Either she doesn't understand the point of a secret identity, or she was too selfish to care for it's importance in place of what she wants. Yes, they should have broken up, simply because his schedule conflicted with the attention she needed from him. To be clear, I'm not one of those "She's the bad one" type. They are still high school kids learning how to navigate the world. She has the right to be mad, because she feels Mark didn't trust her. At the same time, it is about protecting her as well.

I think the Maulers' have a very narrow specialization, but they are incredibly competent within that specialization. Outside of cloning, they are a pair of dim bulbs to be sure.

I can't wait to see your reaction to the finale, its going to be WILD.

Congrats on figuring out Robot before it happened in the show. Fun watching you put the pieces together. Of course...I figured it out a bit later...lol

Cat guy is called Battle Beast in this show, his real name is Thokk.

I mean i get why most women side with amber , if mark was a normal guy that behavior would be a red flag but she figured it out weeks earlier knowing what he was doing and why he was late and still hassles him. when they needed a hero and mark disappears only to be replaced by a hero of exact size, Complexion, hairstyle and color of your boyfriend saves you and your friends only to be replaced by mark a second later and she still treated him like he Abandoned her ….no I don’t think so Amber needs to go

Unlike everyone else in the comments, I have only watched each of these right before watching them with you. Love, love, love this show. I'm so excited to watch the next one. The comments have only jacked up that feeling, but I'll wait till next week. Tremendous reaction and observations as usual!

"I'm glad this is taking place in a farming area so there's like no people dying" Episode 8: Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste.

I just realized that Omni-Man and The Immortal have opposite facial hair.

Rex's backstory wasn't revealed yet in the show, but judging by his comic book story, I'd wager that much of the hatred he got from the public (all of it carefully planned by the showrunners) should melt away sometime in the future. As A. Lincoln (or should we say The Immortal?) once said, "I don't like that man. I need to know him better". And this is the last episode in which the Show treats us with kid gloves. The next episode is going to be brutal. And I do mean brutal. People had to hold on to their lunches watching that. Be warned. About the Amber/ Mark thing, the etiquette for super heroes is to keep it a secret for as long as you can. Another show that dealt with this question (in many instances) was Superman and Lois. You might want to check on it.

The "cat guy" was voiced by Michael Dorn, who plays Worf in Star Trek

congrats on catching onto the immortal as abe lincoln. the scene escapes most folks and some that do notice strangely conclude that the immortal was the man behind him -- jw booth!

Immortal had the mutton chops and rage of Wolverine. What a rematch! I didn’t think he had any offensive moves to make after being gut punched like that. Talk about a tummy ache. Then dang he goes for Omni-man’s skull Mountain style! Talk about a crushing headache Too bad he got Darth Mauled

Everytime you said "blob baby" made this reaction worth it

Always fun to watch your reactions! As an aside... "penultimate" means "second to last (in a sequence)", rather than meaning "almost the best", in case there was confusion there.

I’m on board the hype train for the finale… Your reactions have been so sincere thus far, and watching the gut punches this ep delivered wash across your face has been a joy. Can’t wait to see more.

I love that this series has revealed that you absolutely have a type lol

I very much agree that Mark and Amber should have just broken up earlier in their relationship, because sticking with it just made them both look bad - if Mark couldn't trust Amber with his secret identity (which is valid), he should have just ended things rather than make himself look like a bad boyfriend and disrespect Amber's time. At the same time, Amber should have just broken up with him instead of trying to find excuses to keep dating him after he kept showing up late or missing things he said he'd be there for. She could have also broken up with him once she, on her own, found out that he was a superhero - I mean, why not just confront him about it as soon as she figured it out? Like, I definitely don't think Amber deserves as much hate as she gets, but I don't think she has any right to get so pressed about not being trusted with Mark's superhero identity, as they've only been dating for a few months. She has every right to be pressed about Mark being late and missing things all the time, as it IS disrespectful, regardless of the reasoning behind it (which I guess boils down to the whole "intent vs. impact" thing).

The Kaiju was juiced with drug enhancements and its pain center was removed so it was stronger than Omni-man but Mark used his brain and used electricity to make it sleep

the immortal gets his name because he can be revived, so even though he can die, he cant die permanently

Your the only reactor I've seen that gets that the Immortal was Abraham Lincoln they always assume he was John wilkes booth

You're reaction to "Where's Mark, Debbie?" I laughed way too hard at this... it was ridiculous. [Solo]

It always kinda pisses me off when people get mad about "you didn't tell me about your secret identity" like, as Mark said "It's a SECRET identity". Just like when you work for the CIA or some shit, you just don't get to talk about that part of your life with other people; often not even your spouse.

You're the only person I've seen understand that he was Lincoln and not Booth. I greatly appreciate that.

Omni Man was like the serial killer in an old slasher movie this episode, just unstoppable

Penultimate simply describes it's position in the story, it just means "second to last", not a statement on the quality or essence of it.

she is the ONLY reacter i've seen pick up on the Abe Lincoln thing lol

Found your channel last week. I've been enjoying your reactions.

Great reaction. Can't wait for the season finale. Going to be crazy and very emotional

Mwhahaha we're getting there

A little backstory from Rexes history. He can turn any inorganic material into an explosive. As a child, his parents sold him to a group of scientist that conducted experiments on him. This is where his powers come from. Also kind of explains his personality a bit. Not so easy to be a stand up guy when you come from that. Kind of a miracle he turned out to be a hero at all.

Binged a few episodes last now. Now I get to binge Angela's reactions!

Ahhh I miss watching this for the first time I can’t wait to see you’re reaction for the next episode

The Kaiju is just that powerful. That's really all it is. There are some beings in this universe that are cartoonishly powerful (like Nolan), and the Kaiju is one of them. It's just a big strong sea monster, and there's not much else to it than that.

Everyone needs a best friend like William

Been looking forward to these last two episodes

What a brilliant villain reveal. Never was a character capable of such total dishonesty and brutal cruelty. Speaking of course of Amber. Who it turns out - even after Mark had just saved her life *again* - decided to gaslight and humiliate and shame him for having "left her in harm's way" because it was the most hurtful thing she could think of to punish him for not having told her his most important secret just a few months into a high school relationship, something she has absolutely no right to have expected in the first place. ---- Pretty sure Nolan would have killed Eve on contact at this point, for the same reason he killed the Guardians, although I'll let him explain why in 1x8.

The kids knew where Immortal was because one of the kids is the stepson of that secret service guy from the beginning. He likely told that hush-hush info to his stepson, and him and his friend saw the opportunity to dig him up.

Yesss the journey continues!!!

It took the strength of the Immortal and another one of his deaths to give Omni Man pink eye… 😅😵

That eye roll at the end was amazing 😄

Just because I'm a pedantic person, "penultimate" means "second-to-last", no relation to the vernacular usage of "ultimate" meaning "best".

Mark was late due to catching a meteor so it didn't kill millions of people, he didn't show up because he was beaten nearly to death trying to help someone. I mean even with what eve told amber that Mark was hit by a bus amber was still more concerned that he didn't show. Like come on she's clearly a narcissist. If I find out someone I was previously angry at for not showing was hit by a bus on their way to the place, probably not gonna make it about me at that point

Loved your emotional reaction

9:29 Gotta love that you said this, with Power Girl being a legit DC Superheroine :P

The worlds most expensive nosebleed is one of my favorite lines

“No people dying” nervous laughter

Cecil explained that the "Hail Mary" was stronger now because they pumped it full of steroids and other comic book sci-fi stuff to make it stronger.

What I like about Robot is that he never was an I.A in a robotic body but a human being the all time.

The fun thing about "immortality" is that it is NOT "invulnerability".

Can't wait to see what you think of the finale. It's one of my favorite episodes of any show.

Congrats on 20k subs! Your channel is growing fast & you deserve it. The work you continue to put in & your insight/opinions along with the emotions are what attributes to people really liking you. I'm not a fan of Amber. I don't like the way she handled the Mark situation. Mark definitely messed up, but if she figured out who she he was weeks ago I felt like she should have been a bit more empathetic to everything he has to deal with & why it was such a struggle to tell her something so important & life endangering. Looking forward to the finale. Thanks for the reaction

I can't wait until you see the ending of this first season. I definitely needed a moment to process.

Oh boy. Next episode is gonna be a roller-coaster

"I'm glad they're on a farm where no one can get hurt." -Sentences that didn't age well. lol.

Seeeeee..... this is why you should know that alot of us love you....idk what type of equipment you play this on.... but it shows up in different bad colors and the characters are barely visible... AND I STILL FEEL LIKE I'M SNUGGLING UP TO A GREAT FRIEND WHEN I WATCH YOU... YOU (NOT THE EQUIPMENT OR CONTENT SOMETIMES) ARE THE GIFT!!!!!... update....it might be my stupid phone messing up images... I'm an idiot... but I still love my buddy, so I'm not totally stupid

In my head atleast I always thought the Kaiju was just really a powerful monster unlike ever seen. Maybe Omniman was the only one who could've taken it down. Altough it's dangers went relatively unnoticed since it was defeated quickly. Omniman probably just underestimated it's regenerative properties and tought it was dead. Cecil then, like all the other times took advantage of the situation and created Hail Mary.

can’t wait for the next ep you react too!

Me coming to the comments to tell FLG to post her finale reaction sooner: "We need to talk." 😉

I was getting ready to view your reaction Invincible S1-E8, but I saw that this video for E7 was posted 5 days ago and the edit for the S8 reaction might still be in production. I’m also a relative latecomer to the series, watching season 1 this summer after coming off the high of The Boys last season finale and I was not disappointed. I actually went full nerd and purchased the first Invincible Compendium for Kindle/Comixology, because of how much I loved the show, so I could see how much the comic differed from the animation. My original intention was to stop at the point where the show stopped and then continue along when Season 2 finally gets released, but I caved and bought and read Compendium 2 and later 3 and I loved all of it. IIRC it’s been a good 15 years since the first issues dropped, so you can see how Kirkman refined, streamlined and in many ways improved and updated the storytelling for the screen. The last time I recall a film surpassing the original material like a comic or novel was Fight Club, the book was superlative, but the switch to the big screen the way that played out that screenplay was just superlative and it elevated the storytelling to what I’d consider to be a masterpiece, so although I partially spoiled some of the plot points for myself, I’d say it’s akin to a fan of any comic book, watching an animation or finally watching how it has been adapted to the big screen and was rarely disappointed. There are little but welcome nuances of change that came with the transition from comic to animation, like making Amber’s character a person of color, with an appreciation for the Filipino culture. Although they did not name the dessert that Mark and Amber had on their date, it was unmistakably Halo-Halo. In the comic, she was certainly a love interest, but she also happened to be a blonde in the comic and didn’t have as many dimensions aside from being in love with Mark and dealing with the complexities that he is also Invincible. The Green Ghost was also a white male in the comic and Shrinking Rae was Shrinking Ray, also gender changed for the sake of diversity. I’ve also been watching many Invincible reaction videos like yours, and I found it to be a great way to pass the time while waiting for Invincible season 2 to drop. I also must say that most of your intuition throughout the series thus far has been spot on only getting caught whiffing a couple of curveballs like Robot’s character arc, but finally having those “aha” moments leading up to where you finally figure out what he was on about, and being spot on with Debbie, William and Amber’s characters. Needless to say, I can’t wait to see your reaction to the season finale.

I love the dating advice segment! 😄

I really hated this change to Amber from the comics. Up until this episode, all of her reactions to Mark are completely understandable, and the audience is almost universally on her side. But then the reveal that she's known for *weeks* means that her recent behavior isn't just nonsensical--it's narcissistic and abusive. As soon as she knows he's a superhero, she'd be able to deduce what he was actually doing most of the times that he was late or absent: Invincible isn't some underground hero, he's relatively well-known, and his battles tend to be pretty flashy. She *knows* that there are people who would literally be *dead* if Mark had prioritized dinner dates with her. She *knows* that he jumped in to save William at the campus, and got the shit beaten out of him. And she can probably guess that his "hit by a bus" excuse was more of a "beaten half to death" situation. And yet she yells at him in public for being a coward, and then refuses to speak to him. And she's upset that he didn't reveal this massive secret after only *five months* of dating? That's insane...he didn't even tell his best friend whom he'd known much longer. And to top it off, revealing his secret identity *also* has a good chance of revealing his father's secret identity, on account of him yelling "Dad!" out in public when the aliens attacked and Omni-man showed up. This isn't something that can be taken back if things don't work out. He'd be betting his friends' and family's safety against the discretion of a teenager he's known for less than a year.

I think the Amber situation could have been written better, but I feel people are also being overly harsh when judging her. It seems like they forget that both Mark and Amber are _teenagers_ learning how to navigate a relationship, and that's before you factor in his secret identity.

It might've been a different story if The Immortal got permanent power boost after every time he was resurrected or gain immunity/resistance to whatever killed him before. Alas in a one v one fight, Omni-man beats him with relative ease.

So no comment about how Amber had been lying to Mark for weeks? She knew exactly why he was late but still pretended like she didn't. She even chastised Mark for saving their lives at the college campus when Chester the android attacked them, despite knowing exactly why he "disappeared". It is the very definition of gaslighting. As soon as Amber figured it out (which is bullshit that she did) she should have immediately made a decision. Stick with Mark and accept how things are going to be, or decide that she doesn't want to be in a relationship with a super hero and all of the difficulties that entails, and break it off. But no. She decided to do neither of those things. Instead, she decided to be cruel, manipulative, and emotionally abusive. And sure, Mark wasn't exactly the perfect boyfriend, but he never lied to Amber like she was lying to him. Yeah, he didn't tell her he was a super hero, for very good reason, but he also explained to her that he had responsibilities with his father, and he was having a hard time making it all fit. Which was 100% true. And when Amber supposedly figured it all out, instead of cutting Mark some slack, realizing that what he was doing was bigger than their little high school romance, she doubled down on him, making demands she knew he couldn't keep, then blaming him and chastising him for not keeping them. And even when he did finally tell her, her only response is that he should have trusted her sooner for some reason? As if that is how trust works? Then flippantly told him to "fly away flyboy, or take the stairs. I don't give a shit." as if he never mattered to her at all. It was literally dehumanizing. How exactly is that not considered manipulation and emotional abuse? And keep in mind, this is Mark's first relationship, but clearly not Amber's. She should know better. But she does it anyway.

It truly is amazing how many things you're able to see coming or predict. Opening Commentary- This is probably going to happen Reaction- It's happening!!! End Commentary- Told ya

Cecil: There's only someone I know who can go toe to toe with omniman and come out on top and his name is CAT GUY. Seriously, cat guy/battle beast is quite strong

One of the only reactors I've seen to catch that Immortal was Abe Lincoln lol nice catch.

"I don't know if they give us the cat guy's name" - not out loud, but in the subtitles he's referred to as "Battle Beast" which I think is his canon name. The Amber thing... I have some feelings about the writing on this. I think it's good that they're not leaning on the oblivious girlfriend trope, but I feel like they really bungled the execution. In hindsight, this twist should have made a lot more sense. I think the real key thing that would have made it a lot more reasonable was if Amber, before, when they were "starting over" before their trip to the university, she asked Mark specifically, "This time, can I trust you to tell me the truth?" or maybe later, she jokes about secrets or asks about keeping secrets or something that would give us a hint that she knows something that's being hidden from the audience. And when he says she can trust him without saying that he's a superhero, she can sigh or maybe look conflicted, and then that would make the boiling point at the university a lot more justifiable. But as it's written now, it feels like they wanted to execute the twist so that everyone gets blindsided and for the audience to have this huge reaction to Amber knowing the entire time, but they failed to do what a well-constructed twist does. It drops hints where you could have figured it out, so that in hindsight it was clear as day what the hints were. When I re-watch Invincible, I can't pinpoint when Amber thinks that Mark is a superhero, so it comes off as a twist for the sake of being a twist. She says she's known for a while, but it doesn't help when we can't tell in which episode she figured it out. I think that the side-effect of this is making Amber seem unlikable and kind of selfish, but with a little tweaking this could work. It just felt like they prioritized the twist over writing the characters properly. Some people have proposed drastic re-writes for Amber, but I don't think that's necessary. I just think that, if they did drop hints, they were a bit _too_ subtle, so the twist doesn't feel earned, and it just feels random.

The "cat guy" is known as Battle Beast!!

even though he protects the world she still cries because she doesn't get more attention knowing what he has to do

This episode could have also been titled "And The Kitchen Sink"

Whoever is editing your videos is amazing the cut to blood splatter on the title card is seemless

Amber was angry Mark wasn't spending enough time with her because he was off saving people's lives. She was also angry he didn't tell her his secret identity she figured out for herself, but never mentioned or hinted that she knew. Then got mad at him for prioritizing saving countless people's lives over getting to their dates on time. Never mind the fact that he was going out of his way to get gifts or trying to do other thoughtful things for her to make up for it as she herself said. Or that he was almost killed a few days ago, and was in the hospital for around 6 days. Amber had every right to be mad that he was late when she didn't know he was a superhero, but as soon as she figured it out, and still wanted to get mad at him for not being on time, she lost most empathy she had from me. Keeping his secret doesn't mean he doesn't trust you, that's not the reason superheroes keep their identities a secret from their loved ones most of the time, it's just a way to try to keep them a little bit safer(both you and the superhero). And probably a fear of rejection. So keeping information that could put her in danger a secret, all the while making sure to buy her nice gifts, leave notes, and doing his best to maintain their relationship and balance a life he's still new to makes him an asshole- because he wasn't ready to tell her yet -but her keeping it a secret that she knew is fine, even though the more responsible thing to do would be to just tell Mark " Hey, I know you're Invincible let's talk about how it's affecting our relationship." That's a five-month relationship at most, and he's been a hero for at most 9 months at this point(I think). She thinks he should be ready to tell her his biggest secret and that he's stringing her along just because he likes her but isn't ready to give up his biggest secret? He wanted to make it to all those dates, it's not his fault villains were attacking. He can't plan for stuff like that. He didn't even tell his best friend, whom he's known for a lot longer, and he was lying to him for just as long. He saw William less than he saw Amber, and William understood just fine. Sure, he's not romantically involved with Mark, but they're still close. I can understand her being mad at being lied to *if* she wasn't also lying through omission about knowing he's Invincible. But she knew for weeks that he was putting his life on the line to protect her and other people, and was still mad that he disappeared to save William and made a point to belittle him publicly for it. Even though she knew and saw that it was Mark getting his ass kicked by the cyborg while he was protecting everyone there. I don't think Amber can handle a relationship with a hero, but the comics handled the relationship better. In the comics, she thought he was involved with drugs, and that's why he was making bad excuses and missing dates. She realized the truth after talking with some friends about him, and they consummated their relationship. Her reasoning that he's making her feel stupid and unimportant kinda goes out the window when he literally does everything he can to keep you happy, and all you do is make crappy jokes and complain, the stupid thing is especially dumb since she knows he's a superhero and that the best superhero team on the planet was murdered a few months ago, why wouldn't he be cautious about who he tells? You called him out on his excuses for being late and he bought you an $800 gift to make up for one missed date. How are you feeling stupid or unimportant? Everything is already about you, and your clearly smart enough to figure out his secret identity. Eve showed that she wanted to start a relationship with Mark, but when she saw that he was with Amber, she backed off and even tried to help them stay together. That's someone Mark could realistically have a relationship with, without all the drama that comes with dating a regular person.

I think the Kaiju was just there to show that Omni-man, and by extension Viltrimites in general, aren't truly unbeatable. They have limits to their power - they're just far beyond any other hero on Earth. By extension, it could be inferred that "Hail Mary" would have defeated the Guardians and killed millions. Even if Mark took it out with a commercial power line (sigh).

Looking forward to some son and dad training session

12:13 And that's why everyone hates Amber. She's a narcissist who gaslighted and guilt tripped Mark. I was completely with her, right until this moment, in which she hit rock bottom for me. Telling someone your secret identity, after just a few months, especially at that age, is just stupid. And it wouldn't even be just his secret identity, but also that of Nolan. There's literal lives at stake here, including that of Debbie. If she knew, she should've either broken up with him if she cannot handle having a superhero as partner, or just be supportive and understanding, since Mark is literally saving people's lives when he comes late. And not being a hero when you have those powers? I mean come on. It's hard to imagine good people not doing it. With great power comes great responsibility! The death of the original Rudy definitely got me more than I thought it would though. Really sad moment.

Wait until you see EP 8 man is it intense.

The final episode will far more brutal and emotional. You will see it.

I began to suspect that Omni Man may not be entirely trustworthy after he murdered the entire roster of the Guardians. I may be wrong though...

Black Sampson's powers are never covered in much detail, but they are similar to The Immortal's

Amber getting on his case for disappearing during the fight at the university was dumb considering if she's not an idiot she'd figure out that Mark needed to go off and suit up. If instead she'd have knowingly asked "If Mark knew any superheroes?" When Doug showed up would have been more in character. Mark might someday open up to her but wasn't about to suit up in front of dozens of students with phone cameras posting on all social media platforms. (Just my 2 cents.)

The lion’s name is Battle Beast.

Cat Guy is known as Battle Beast

Yeah amber was a bit too harsh and ignorant when it came to this episode. I mean if she knew that means she knew where he was, that he didn’t get hit by a bus, that he risks his life everyday to help save actual lives! And that he was invincible during the time of episode 6. Yet she still got mad at him for helping people. And she’s extremely lucky he trusted her now. That shows how much he cares and he works so hard to be on time and help her. Especially with school and everything else. She never even thought what his side only that he didn’t trust her when she’s smart enough to know it’s because he loves her. It’s a shame to see really. Of course mark could’ve handled it better but hey

Finally someone got the Abraham Lincoln thing. Rewatch episode 3 for a little foreshadowing easter egg

The cat guy (lion😂) is called Battle Beast , hopefully they get more into him next season because he’s built different 🔥

Nice

immortals powers are if he dies he eventually comes back stronger,

if you like ross marquand you should check out a 6 episode youtube show he did a while ago called 'the impression guys'

It isn't that the Mauler twins are dumb or easily fooled. They would be considered super geniuses by any measure. It is just that Rudy/Robot is MUCH more intelligent than they are.

So do expect every hwro to reveal their identity to every person they date immediately?

You having to take deep breaths and recover after the episode is my spirit animal while watching these. :-)

I wouldn't hold your breath on a "good" reason. But like, this might not be your reaction to what happens, but have tissues. I actually forgot Robot's name is Rudy. I actually forget if that was his name all along or if he just chose that, because he's a super genius but was a real person not a robot but I could also see if he was like abandoned and not given one.

Rex gets in my nerves i don't exactly know why hahah

OK, time to test you. Have you noticed anything for the intro card as each episode has been shown. Might give a hint on things to come? Lol
