So let me get this straight, she had a lesbian affair with an alien, in which she turned into her monster form during sex and impregnated? Man these comics are wild.

The fact that she can be both a father and a mother to her son is wild

So the curse was intentionally meant to torture her until she had no choice but become the monster forever. That old lady was very pissed. Lol

So in theory, that random old witch lady who can make monster people is one of the most potentially powerful characters in the series.

I just love how she's at her most powerful when she is a baby

its still kinda wild knowing that she fathered a child and considering how big her monster form is, im kinda worried for the mother

Monster Girl could be immortal if she wanted. Once she gets too old she can just take the belt off and transform until she's at the physical age she wants. It doesn't look like the comic really covered this possibility though.

So basically if she turned to monster once a week, she can be immortal....

Robot seriously did not deserve that two-fold betrayal in the Flaxon's dimension. I know he went off the rails after that, but I think the two knives in his back did a lot to steer him in that direction.

So after all of robots effort to escape his tank. He winds up back in a tank

I just /love/ how Amanda repeatedly undermines and betrays robot during their relationship, but because he’s “evil” she gets to have a happy ending while Rudy lost everything.

I know Robot took on the name Rex to honour his death but that's kinda messed up, especially since he uses him for cloning. He basically just stole his identity, and since he became while identifying as Rex, that's just gave Rex a bad name.

I think I speak for all the non-comic manga readers when I say I appreciate content like this! Please keep it up..

Me: I like this character FBI: "I dont think so Pal"

Knowing that Monster Girl's monster form is fully erm...functional, she's basically a walking Maury episode isn't she? Imagine having a paternity test on your affair and being both the mother and father

Moral of the story: don’t cheat on your boyfriend or he will turn evil

That old lady is secretly the most powerful being in the entire setting.

I have to ask: Did the grandma who cursed her know about the de-aging side effect? If so than that's an extra level of spite, but if not than that's some pretty shoddy spell-work.

God imagine explaining that... "Oh my dad is actually a 30 year old woman who can turn into a Male monster but in doing so ages backwards".

I got so annoyed when she was willing to take down Robot because he was crazy for control, but refused to do the same to the flaxxans, when they were clearly much, much, much worse, and had a huge hand on turning Robot to evil

Monster girl is basically what you get when your writer is inspired by the classic "Way older than she looks so technically not a loli, but everyone knows she's a loli" anime trope. Edit: 2.9K hot damn this blew up. Y'all are a bunch a lolicons lol

So Monster Girl's journey start all because her old boyfriend's grandma doesn't approve of them dating.

Watching that summary of the Flaaxan dimension a second time, I now realize that storyline was a great way of aging Robot and Monster Girl up to the same age as the rest of the Guardians!

So does de-aging have the potential for immortality? If she transforms too much without the belt will she turn into a fetus? Can she become a talking baby with the mind of an adult and a monster that's like 20 feet tall? This is one of the most interesting super powers I have ever heard of.

It really sucks that after 1,000 years of history she and Robot couldn’t make it work. But he was too damn focused on what he thought needed to be done. The Immortal was immortal and still found what was important in life. Robot was a benevolent dictator and turned his back on his friends.

Moral of the story? When your partner cheats on you, just break up and move on.

It’s funny how she literally a fbi joke and basically a green goblin hulk

I hate it when usually in the comics, events took a dark turn and characters got a tragic end. I mean, just let them be happy, dammit.

An episode on Black Samson would be awesome, great content btw👍

I might be mistaken, but he said that Robot had a talk with Monster Girl about her conduct/interest toward/in Rex, but in the text of the comics, it mentions Bulletproof in that talk instead of Rex. Am I missing something?

i kinda hope they keep just going off the beaten path and doing their own thing in the show while not obviously making it too different

As your cultured fellow called her: The Curious Case of Loli Hulk

Your Invincible videos are getting so many views and I'm so happy for you guys.

If Monster Girl were to take off her belt every couple of years, maybe decades, would that make her immortal? Would doing that over time make her monster form stronger? The second question comes from how at the end of the comic her monster form is about the same despite Monster Girl's human form being older. So maybe her monster form's strength isn't from how young she is and more of how many times she de-ages.

Robot really just needed a friend while his life was basically spiraling downward

Such a horrible ending, all because of a broken heart...damn it, Rex...

I really hope they can successfully flesh out the characters and do the complete comic storylines in the show

Should we be expecting a Thragg, Dinosaurus, or Conquest history video next? Loving this series and can’t wait for more

If you think about it, Amanda is kind of immortal, while yes she can be killed, if she takes off the belt she'll de-age to a point and then she can put it back on to stop the affect.

I think both of her betrayals on Robot is the reason why he went kinda crazy

To think Monster Girl would have had a different life if she just chose Rex.

I reaaaaaally cannot believe that NO ONE finds strange that this man manipulates a lot of people to be together with this woman, steals someone DNA, makes a copy of his body because she have a crush on him, takes the name of the one he copy, al of this literally to make this girl fall in love with him, latter he becomes a dictator, twice, tries to make a genocide of one of those people. "Hmmmm, seems like a NICE GUY".

I really enjoy these videos! I haven't had the chance to pick up the comics yet, but I enjoy watching these. Also, the narration is great too!

Beautiful work, once again! Got a little flakey towards the end.

@11:05 *NOPE!* I'm not skipping ahead. You def did a fantastic job and I'm down go through it again. These are dope!

@10:00 🤔 wait, so first he steals Rex's DNA to clone him, then he steals his name? seems kinda messed up, no?

Love all these Invincible vids. I must try and find time to read the comics.

These videos are amazing! I can’t get enough of the Invincible universe. They seem to be changing a lot which makes me wonder where they are going to take the series!

It is nice to hear the voice of Grey DeLisle As well as JK Simmons, Mark Hamill and Clancy Brown!!

Thank You So Much for making these background stories!! I know it’s gotta be tedious saying the same information over and over again that’s in your other videos.

I actually rlly love this series cause it’s a rlly interesting comic and thank you for all this and i love the invincible storyline and even tho it ends would love to see more

Love your videos man keep up the work!

Thanks Nick, all this work you do is very much appreciated. I like this series on Prime however is is just so overloaded with villains and aliens and chaotic fighting that I wonder why they even have the world as a semi normal world at all. It seems to me that there would be no way to have any form of a functioning society with so much constant attacks & destruction, etc.... lol. Oh well, gotta just enjoy it for what it is. Crazy

I'd love to learn more about D.A. Sinclair. I didn't realized he lived through the whole series

I love Monster Girl! Such a great character,. I love how her ability's side effect, which under other circumstances would be beneficial, is really detrimental when used too much! If used correctly, she could live on indeffinetly, but her chosen path forces her to use it alot more then what would be considered good for her.

Wow, seeing this video and the panels covering Monster Girl's origin made me realize that I had come across this series about 9 years ago when I was just a kid. I can't remember where I saw it but it was probably a random comic book I was looking at in the library. At the time, seeing all these adult topics and graphic imagery (like gore) honestly just made me nauseous, and the designs weren't that appealing to me. It's weird that I'm revisiting this series after so long without even realizing it.

I wished the series will make the relationship between her and robot better, its kinda sad seeing what happend to them in the comics

Monster girl is technically immortal since she can de-age, I have yet to read more of the comic but in the show she is pretty funny. I like her character over Rex and Robot.

This was pretty good,and intriguing and interesting. I get bored quickly bad,but this! I watched it all and actually learned something. Thank you.

The "skip if you saw in the previous video" timestamp came exactly as I wanted it to very well produced

Great video! Love this and all of the other invincible content! Could you do a video on the mauler twins next?

The storyline of these characters and the comic overall is top tier!

Thanks for doing these - they are fun!

"No officer you don't understand! I swear she's 29!"

"what if hulk looks like a loli, but actually not?"

She's a pretty cool character. Looking forward to season 2.

What a blessing to have someone like key issues in our lives God Bless you for your content

amazing bro, continue with the good work

nice video. Would love to see one about allen the alien.

In the middle of the vid I just started rocking to the beat great background music

I was wondering for a while how monster girl got an alien girl pregnant, well I didn’t know her monster form was male which is how the alien boy was conceived

Okay, i admit it. She has one of the most insane, funny and interestings Origin plus whole Stroy in total of all Comics ever. What i kinda recognized here is, that she, Invincible and Eve basicly live forever if i understood that correct and even Robot does. Are there more of their Team that live forever?

Cecil appoints Robot as the new leader of the guardians Bruh that one bit is all I retain from these videos 😭

Love these uploads

I was never given this much creative freedom to write such a dynamic story, much less a character in school, college, or my creative/filmmaking field. I feel a bit cheated by my professors and so called mentors, but I am extremely motivated by the imagination of this series to produce something as innovative, if not better.

Man you’ve got to cover Cecil in one of your videos he was awesome in ep 7 with his contingencies etc.

Ok so I love how monster girl likes to play the victim for cheating I’ve been reading the comics and minute they get back to earth she flirts with all the male members of the guardians and yells at Rex saying he through their relationship away over her one mistake and then when she tell him she cheated she makes the excuse she was just lonely after she’s the one who put Rex in jail she’s honestly just a horrible person at this point

0:24 "Khajjit has _wars,_ if you have coin."

well done vid, i watched all invincible vids of yours and i love the story thx🙏

In my opinion Amanda is a bad person. Her entire character is themed after maturity which she never overcomes right up until the end. Her power came about as a result of her immature teenage actions that were dictated by her hormones and lack of responsibility mirroring her entire ark going forward. Choosing to mess around with a kid and ignoring potential dangers caused her to be cursed. But what she never realized is the curse was meant to teach her a lesson of growing up and stop being selfish which she never does. Her powers are a representation of her character. The more younger and childish she is the larger and powerful her Monster form is correlating to her entire story The witch cursed her for being irresponsible and childish. But when we first meet her she says she’s an adult in child’s body but she acts the same as her age. Choosing to lash out at her teammates, was so self absorbed by her own problems that she rebuked Rudy attempts to empathize and demeaned him, then demanded he fix her when he tried to ingratiate himself with her, and finally complained and through a tantrum when he’s taking to long. I was seeing all kinds of red flags with the star of their relationship on both ends of I’m honest but more so on her end as she was just as manipulative with someone showing interest in her that’s wasn’t as socially competed as she was. His awkwardness was attributed to his lack of human contact She has no excuse. Then in the flaxxan world she as stated above didn’t really learn much of the flaxxan society beyond base concepts and fell back on her superhero limit view of “helping” whoever is currently being mistreated. Rudy freed enslaved races that weren’t integrated into society and couldn’t contribute to better the flaxxans outside menial labor they refused do themselves which resulted in a stagnated civilization that depended on raiding others to exist. It wasn’t just bad for its own sake or for ‘hurting others’ it’s was a practice systemically broken system that perpetuated facist tyrannies. Rudy changed them for the better by making them freer and more independent economically. There were growing pains which fell on the old rulers zaxels but that was a result of their own way of life that wasn’t productive to the greater society and it was stated that more and more flaxxans where coming over to his side. But before that Amanda being estranged from Rudy due to very reasonable issues like him not paying enough attention to her instead of learning about an entire civilization’s economics to Improve billions of lives and disagreements she has of Rudy decisions that stemmed from her not knowing enough about flaxxan society caused her to turn to the zaxels who then tricked her into siding with their blight as her superhero nature couldn’t give her enough context to see that the zaxels wanted a return to the old imperialistic ways and then betrayed Rudy 2 folds before in allegiance and emotionally in an affair and resenting Rudy for not getting her pregnant(which is extremely shallow) with the very people that imprisoned him just for saving the flaxxans from their prior tyranny. Then when she realized her mistake immediately did a 180 and put things back right. The lesson here being that she let her short sighted view as a “hero” cloud her judgment in trusting the zaxels b/c she couldn’t she past their immediate blight as a product of their own making. Then I don’t really think enough people bring this up but SHE IS A TERRIBLE GIRLFRIEND. Including the above after she cheats due to being “lonely” (which is a terrible excuse cheaters use) she then holds its against Rudy for not forgiving her and in her own words “You through everything away just bc you couldn’t forgive my One mistake and I’ll never forget that”. I’m sorry but the level of selfishness on display there is infuriating. As someone who has experienced this and recovered from infidelity I can say that Amanda displayed all the signs of an abusive selfish shallow person that isn’t sorry for what they did, takes no responsibility for it or betters works to better themselves. She the kind of person that dismisses all the pain and life long emotional trauma a cheater causes to their partner and even blames their cheating on them. All cheating comes down to selfishness and she is almost a case study on it. Rudy did all the things someone should never do with a cheating partner. He forgave to soon and too easily without her putting in more of the work to earn his forgiveness back and thus is meant nothing to her and she resented him for it. That’s why she was mad at him for holding it against her. She was so selfish and immature that she couldn’t understand the deep trauma that she caused him, trauma that is life long as any survivor of infidelity will tell you. But she took it as an offense that he wouldn’t give forgive “one” little mistake yes very mature for grown woman. But then he forgives her and puts all the blame on himself once again showing a lot of maturity in seeing any mistakes he thinks he didn’t while never taking her to tasks for her shortcoming that lead to her going stray. But the final insult that made me give up on her character is how she would go on to refuse to forgive Rudy for his “one” mistake and betrayal/imprisonment. After all he maturity and humbleness he shown by never even getting angry at her and quickly putting blame on himself she has the nerve to not just refuse to do the same but act superior and talk down to him multiple time from a place a extreme anger. The sheer hypocrisy that is her character is staggering to me. In the end she doesn’t even a moment of clarity in realizing her mistakes and humble her to someone who did to her what she once did to him and completely dismisses Rudy who was just looking for some kind of closure for the both of them. In short Amanda from her first scene to her last is that of a immature child outside and in that never learns from her mistakes, takes responsibility for her bad actions, or emotionally grows up. And I do hold her and her actions to Rudy a primary factor in his eventually downfall. Her toxic behavior hardened him as most emotional trauma does a person and made him more radical and easily antagonistic. I am sorry for his fate and hope the animated series will correct a lot of these wrongs.

I have a couple of character requests. Mauler Twins, Titan, and Wolf-Man. I know the last one isn't a Invincible exclusive character, but he exists in the same universe and they crossed over.

Nice vid on Monster Girl I really liked her so it was cool to get a vid on her. Hopefully that Grandma who cast the curse died of oldage. Idk if they get much coverage but it'd be cool to see a vid on the Demon Detective and Titan

Much love! Your narration quenches my curiousity😁.I couldnt wait to know what happens next. Thank you.

Can u do cecil hes very underrated

9:18 no body going to point out spawn just casually chilling?

Thanks man, great video 🙃🤘🏻

Content like yours is why I'll never again have a cable subscription or streaming service. I can find hours and hours of content on RU-vid from great, dedicated creators like yourself that taps directly into my specific interests.

Wow. This series goes completely insane. I kinda don't know if I want to keep following this series

9:29 aww man now I wanna see the universe were mark becomes omniboy

I think this is the coolest character dynamic I’ve ever come across in my life time.

Man, the artist (and colorist) for the Robot/Monster-Girl pages are amazing !!!!!!!!!!!

Wow these characters have very interesting arcs. You guys are amazing keep up the good work

Both Amanda and Robot are on among the top of my favorite characters, and, not gonna, tho very well writen, I made me kinda sad the end that theu end up having, mainly Robot. I like to believe that he somehow have a kinda of happy end with her in a never told history

Bro this is so good like every character got some backstory

Okay my LCS closed up during the reboot story so missed some issues and dived back in around the end. Learning this helped. As was seeing it a lot. Spawn is in the Image universe and so is Invincible. If want to read the invincible war. Just hunt down issue #60.

One of the most interesting characters that came from this show! This is great keep up the good work.

Damn, can you imagine being with someone for over a THOUSAND YEARS before splitting apart in such a horrible way? Comics are rough 😳

Great job on this !!

Thank you for making this video 👍
