-The Boys feels like it's a realistic superhero series made by people who absolutely hate superheroes. -Invincible feels like it's a realistic superhero series made by people who absolutely love superheroes.
That’s exactly what it is, Robert Kirkman loves superheroes and made the Invincible comics with that in mind. If you think the boys show is bad for hating superheroes then look at the comics, that guy has such a hate boner for superheroes he makes all of them pedophiles, rapists and baby eaters
The difference is the Boys TV show is better than reading the comics. The Invincible comics are better than the TV show. All 4 things are great though.
This is true, even the creator of the OG "The Boys" comic had admitted that he hated current hero tropes and The Boys was an outlet to make fun of that (while being as edgy as possible) Meanwhile the original comics for Invincible are from someone who worked with marvel and DC prominently, it's a celebration of what heros *could* be
People aren't talking enough about Steven Yuen's voice acting, its stellar, the emotion, it feels real and you can feel the frustration or anger in his voice. Its the best voice acting I've heard ever.
What really makes me fall in love with it though is his performance as the evil Invincibles. Such a small change and yet it makes him come across like a complete psychopath.
The talent in this show is just insane, Debbie, Cecil, Mark, every single one accomplished actors already with magnificent voices. JK Simmons is also a god among man.
@@finn-if8oqno, it’s a play on a joke from the comics that did a similar thing talking about how comics cut corners when drawing panels, which may have been ripped off of the simpsons but idk
Steven Yeun’s voice acting is phenomenal in this show. Everyone brought their A-game in the season 2 finale and did fantastic, but then he still went above and beyond. Absolutely amazing actor.
i think it’s beacuse it was with our mark that he got disfigured, and if he went after an evil mark, he probably wouldn’t have the levrage of the family+ he would have to deal with omniman/ viltrumite rule as well
I kinda see it as a “if you could go back in time to kill hitler as a baby” type thing. This person is completely innocent but you know the destruction they could/will do. It’s a little different with there being alternate dimensions, but I do see the villains idea
The line "I think I miss my wife." is my favorite line from the whole Comic run and the animated show. It shows so much of Nolan's growth in such a short line and I love it.
@@gametheus1306 Omni-Man doesn't know that though, afaik. I mean he's obviously talking about Debbie, but it's a somewhat fair question since last he saw Andressa, she was injured but safe. like it would be kind of funny if he missed her and _not_ Debbie
S2 was worse than S1 tbf, they skipped a big chunk of story. Levy was supposed to be the main villain that started the Invincible war, but here he turned into a filler villain that got dealt with in 15min
I'm not to savvy with the comic books to show and what they left out but wasn't something supposed to happen to mark when fighting that women vultrimite in that crater or is that like way later on@@timo9523
@@TheMildGamer12nah i love season 2 but Levy was in like his introductory episode and a teaser. his fight was over in 15 minutes (it was great though). I love the show and haven't read the comic but that guy is right on Levi not being that big of a deal (don't agree on the worse than s1 point tho)
I don’t understand how this show sets up so many side plots that just work.. most other shows try to do exactly this and you just don’t care about any of the plots. Absolutely brilliant.
They do a fantastic job of making every single character interesting. Even the seemingly one-off joke villains like Doc Seismic or Komodo Dragon get to shine... they each end up having at least one moment that makes you do a double-take and go "Ok, EFF that guy!!"
I've just turned 70, but I'm just a big kid at heart. I'm not stuck with an old dude's mind. I'm still open to new music, I love tech, I'm still a bit of a gamer, and I love sci-fi, adult cartoons, and anime. I only discovered 'Invincible" recently, and just watched season one.........I love it. Season two will get my attention tomorrow. I'm also subbed to your channel. Like what your views are on season 2. Keep up the good vids, brother. Peace and love from the UK.✌💜
I recommend you read the comics. It has some extra stories that didn’t make the cut and the order of the story is different. It’s just as good as the show. The art looks so good too and gets a lot better as it gains more of a budget and improves.
Cecil has to be my favorite character. Multiple characters are angsting out and trying to quit their jobs as superheroes after they're exposed to serious trauma, and his only response is "What's going on, is there something in the water today?" The man has absolutely no time for peoples' personal problems when he has to wrangle heroes to keep the world in tact. I love it.
What’s even more interesting about Omni man wanting to die is i don’t think its because the killing he now feels remorse for. He realizes what he’s done is terrible but still thinks he should die because he betrayed the viltrumites. He’s completely conflicted and can’t make sense of it, yet. At least that’s how I took that scene.
It's absolutely both. "I'm not a Viltrumite anymore" is an oddly specific statement to make in regard to wanting to die. He clearly sees himself as a betrayer of his people and he's having inner conflict reconciling that part of himself much like Mark struggled to reconcile being a Viltrumite after killing Angstrom. Notice how Mark, Omni-man and Debbie all have identically swollen eyes, signifying they all share a mutual pain. Absolutely wonderful writing.
@@aesop2733 I don't see that at all. He doesn't seem conflicted at all regarding being a viltrumite. He hasn't really been conflicted on that the whole season. He was dead set on being a hero on thraxan by the start of the season. "I'm not a viltrumite anymore" means he actually genuinely feel for the people hurt. I don't see anything indicating he feels bad over betraying the viltrumites in that scene. Maybe there's a scene I'm missing?
@@Juel92 What about on Thraxan when Omni literally ask Mark, “why do I care about these lesser beings, they’re weak and I shouldn’t” something along those lines. He’s absolutely having an inner conflict about being a Viltrumite.
@@monkeywang9972 The fact that he mentioned "I miss my wife" and not "I miss my human/pet" shows to tell you he didn't fully believe what he said when he said Debbie was a pet. Hell, dude teared up over a literal ant race.
Honestly the coolest part wasn't even the fights. The coolest part of the show for season 2 was Omni Man staring into the abyss of a black hole, awaiting the slowly encroaching death of gravitational disintegration but his body was ever so slightly immune to it, letting him have the opportunity to save the Thraxans before they were gonna die.
One of my favorite details is how they throw in the invincible title screen. Every episode I keep it in the back of my mind and try to guess where they are going to throw it in. If you’ve seen the show you’ll know what I mean
@Ronniemcfloyd. dear Ronnie Mcnutt سوف يمحو الكسوف كل اللعنة، ولكن اعلم أن كل ما تتمناه على الآخرين يعود إليك 3 أضعاف، وهذا تحذير بأنك إذا لم تتوقف عن المزاح بشأن هذا فسوف أتخذ إجراءً.
Part of the reason I love invincible is the powers are applied in such amazing ways. The shrinking rae example you had, as well as duplicate's spoiler this season. It makes a lot of sense these things would work this way, while in plenty of other superhero series, lots of those who don't have super strength absolutely do, otherwise it would make what they do impossible. (Looking at you especially, batman)
I was hooked on the voice acting and just marks entire struggle in the conversation with his dad in season 1, the first time he puts on goggles and a crappy outfit and goes out by himself. When he cracks and says “I wanna be like you, dad.” Really hits hard especially knowing what a false perception he has
One thing that absolutely elevates the material is the voice acting. It feels so genuine and raw at times that it doesn’t even feel like people voice acting; it feels like actual people that were a fly on a wall to their lives. Steven Yeun (Mark) and Sandra Oh (Debbie) are just absolutely amazing in particular and really hit those emotional and softer moments so well.
Not to mention Yeun's performance as the alternate evil Invincibles. Particularly the yellow-black Invincible, who is designed to be portrayed as a psychopathic, sadistic overlord, and Yeun played the part to perfection
Without spoiling anything, as somebody who read the comic I've been really happy with the editing they've done for the show, making some characters more fleshed out, keeping some characters alive who were killed off for shock value or lol's in the original. That kinda thing.
Agreed. The changes have been mostly minute and don’t take anything major away from the plot. By the time Season 3 is out though I’ll probably have reread the comics. Oh well. Only big gripe I have is the wait between part 1 and part 2 of season 2 when it was finished.
It's a great show that offers so much depth and development in the narrative as well as its characters. Your passion and excitement towards the series is totally infectious! Looking forward to Season 3 already.
I gotta say, I was impressed with the voice acting and sound design of the angstrom levy fight. When mark snaps and he goes ballistic and he screams that blood curdling “EVERRRR” I had goosebumps. It was the first time, in a long time I was cheering on a fictional character while I watched.
dude sterling brown killed it with Angstrom too. he sounds *so* unhinged and rage-filled. "I WON'T REST UNTIL I'VE KÆÏLLED [INVINCIBLE]" "I DON'T WANT YA TA DIE IN SOME RRRANDOM DIMENSION. I WANNA DO IT MOYSELF"
Invincible really is an amazing show with a lot of depth and complex characters, also quite self-aware of the hero genre with some jabs at other franchises and animation in general. The voice actors also do an amazing job, especially Mark's (Steven Yeun, Glenn in The Walking Dead). Really would recommend anyone to watch it
@@not_ecchi2806 it has good animation for a show that every episode is 50 min But it doesn't matter anyway the reason they did that joke isn't cause of them having good its just an adaptation from the comics into animation Wich they did pretty well I think ppl would've been upset if they didn't
They really delivered. From stuff like Rex's character arc, to the music choice, they really hit the nail on the head with everything. Also can we appreciate Steven Yeun's voice acting this season? Like he already cooked in season 1, but ZAMN
0:44 Charlie you hit the nail on the head, I thought it was a simple kids superhero show. Show comes out and I'm here watching S1 Ep1 with my little brother and my cousins they're all ranging from 7 to 11. The show is fine and innocent for like 5 minutes or so, then the gruesome unfiltered carnage occurs. The shock I had was impossible to explain.
The final line being “I think I miss my wife” is absolutely awesome. His time on Earth, despite him denying it, did have a massive impact on his thought process. He no longer is a full-on sociopathic warrior, rather he actually feels shame for what he did and wants to go back to his old life.
I’m super glad I read the comics in school, but it’s literally been 10 years since then and I quite honestly let Invincible go in my heart and once I saw they were making invincible I knew it would bring traction back to invincible… I’m hoping more comics come out! Maybe more of Nolan’s conquests and maybe future stuff about the cast
I also liked when they broke the 4th dimension in that comic con episode, where the animator was talking about tricks on how to produce stuff faster and they were doing it on that episode during their talk
I love how the beatdown in the last episode mimicks the one in the finale of season 1. The poster with omniman's reflection in the blood below mark makes a lot more sense now.
shit is stupid the guy mutilated his mom. Only a worthless bum would leave him alive like how tf does that make you anything like omniman that’s just dumb
Debbie used to be my 2nd favorite character but now she's my favorite alongside Omni Man , her personality is so strong and the last episode of season 2 shows it .
The whole cast has SO much range in their voices. The emotions put on display this season were phenomenal, and it was only made better by the action and story. I can never get enough of this show. I rewatched season 1 like 6 times while I waited for season 2 and it feels like I’ll probably be doing it again for this season. A masterclass in storytelling.
The change of “that” famous line for the finale was so fucking good. So much more character driven than just being a badass moment that’s almost out of charcter.
The show is such a testament to how amazing the comic book is. With something like The Boys they had to change so many core aspects of the comic to squeeze a good show out of the premise, but Invincible is more or less a direct adaptation. Robert Kirkman was just next level when he was writing this.
@@breakthecode4634 ….what? It’s following the story of the comic almost beat for beat. Yeah there’s the occasional small change but that’s how adaptation works.
@@JustAnotherAccount8 how does changing the race or gender of side characters affect the story in any way? That’s not something that should bother you my dude.
@@prime7213 i guarantee you would not feel the same were it reversed. It even has its own name: whitewashing. I loved the show, but changing the race hurts, white people are constantly being made out to be the enemy, thats why it matters. Edit: if it happened every now and then, I wouldn’t have a problem with it. But its becoming increasingly more common, only against white characters.
It really is. I also liked the villain. Angstrom Levy is a very compelling villain. Levy seemed like a truly good person that wanted to help not only his world but many, many, many others. In most universes, he seems to be the good guy while Mark is more often the bad guy. Levy even saved Mark's life when he took the helmet off. If he did not, the Maulers would have beat him to death. Even when he was in the middle of accomplishing his ultimate goal, Angstrom cared about someone trying to stop him enough to try and save that person's life. But when he got the memories of all his alternate selves combined with the pain and disfigurement he is suffering through, he was consumed with hatred for Mark and became the villain to destroy an actual good Mark. Keep in mind that in most dimensions, Mark actually ends up siding with his father to take over the Earth, so Angstrom has a lot of memories of Mark doing terrible things.
@@117MasterSpartan I respectfully disagree. Not exactly a random person when he has the ability to jump to and bring people in and out of universes any time he wants. His brain was overloaded with information from his alternate selves experiencing the many terrible things alternate Marks did to the point that he does not know who he is anymore nor can he understand that the Mark in this universe is not a monster like the others. A good person turned villain killed by the person he saved from being killed by the Maulers. He was the one who was good in most universes, but now Levy is the evil anomaly in the universe where Mark is the good anomaly.
@@117MasterSpartanI agree that levy wasn’t set up great earlier in the season, but his character was built on extremely well in the 30 minutes he was on screen for the finale.
@@117MasterSpartan dawg did you not read what this guy just said 😭he explained it perfectly and it is absolutely compelling and hes a great character lol
@@Gabe_Cross your confusing powers with someone not being a random person. The guy literally says he’s a nobody, a normal person in the first episode 💀. It’s the same as if some random guy went up to the avengers who lives in New York and appears in endgame and says oh yeah I can open portals
I’m so happy Charlie loves this show because it is my favorite show currently ongoing. It’s amazing. Shows you don’t need the greatest animation ever for one of the greatest shows
I read the comic some odd years ago and seeing the show changing the pacing and characters is so nice to see. It just makes the entire experience even better.
I truly love how Invincible is not a parody of superheroes like The Boys is more or less, but Invincible is fully telling it's own story about superheroes while not being scared to show some gore and scary realisms of a superhero universe. And the character development is fantastic
The genuine look of surprise on Charlie's face when he spit on his desk just goes to the show that he literally can't contain his passion for this show
Thing I love about invincible is the depths the show/comic goes to, it asks alot of questions about the morality and value of being hero to a degree where they come to the conclusion that being a super hero is kinda a misuse of super powers. It asks thought provoking questions and answers them.
The invincible split reminded me of aot season 4 which was the main reason i stopped caring about aot used to be my favorite anime and then they decided to split the last season into like 6 parts
same, at least with invincible they said they were doing a break, and they actually finished the season after the break… the way AOT did it was so confusing and completely took the air out of the sails on that show
The break was for it to be a redesigned it's not really a delay so much as they're just needed to be a little bit more content design for what it was originally supposed to be set up like. There will be less of a wait now so I hope everybody enjoys it. There is many factors for it but the main one was to get it to the setup that it was originally supposed to be like with the episode setup. And it really didn't affect people's viewing because it climbed up to one of the highest rated shows top 10
When I look at superhero media I always put those superheroes in three categories: Children’s superhero, major superhero and dark superhero. And Invincible is definitely a dark superhero but in a good way and I see it like this: Invincible tackles the emotional impact of superheroes. And stuff like The Boys and Watchmen tackles the social impact of superheroes. And other movies like Hancock or Irredeemable tackle the physical impact of superheroes. They all have something to say and bring to the table of what kind of story they want to tell and that’s amazing considering the fact that some of these stories have some of the same beats or characters.
I love that you're talking about this since you have a huge following, which brings more attention to the show getting it more money and quicker production time so THANK YOU!
I feel like Rexplode represents the minimum requirements needed to be a superhero. You just need a super power, a wreckless nature, and a desire to fight villains.
