Robot (Rudolph Conners) Comic History Explained | Invincible

It's the opposite of Ultron, a machine that became human, went back to being a machine but more man than before

Then became a BRAIN IN A JAR

@@Nzosaba_Matenge lemme fix that Its Movie Ultron* The comic one was always a genocidal manic.

@@l0sts0ul89 in Rage of Ultron, Ultron has a conversation with Hank Pym where he is extremely emotional. He then goes on a long ass rant on why everyone must die all of it linking to Hank's old way of thinking. He is a genocidal maniac, but he is one with emotion. Also he was an actual human woman once

@@Nzosaba_Matenge Oh I know he fused with Tony Stark for one reason , than he fused with his Dad and went on another genocide iirc

Shitty cause Violent.

That's because he has no claws. He'd try to take over everything again if he could sucker them into building him an army.

Which is dumb because Monster girl betrayed him twice. She's at fault here too.

At least he willingly admits to going too far.

@@ThatGuy-en2nn Not really. She only tried to keep him from murdering /enslaving innocent people. For all both knew, they weren't really compatible for one another. But Rudolph saw something he wanted (Amanda) and made plans to get it. Rudolph made his own bed. She never told him to act like some dictator. He should have listened to the "Love of his Life", when she tried to stand against him. But no, he was manipulative, selfish, deceptive from day one. It was always about what HE wanted. There is no way that she could be blamed for HIS terrible decisions. Yes, she cheated on him, because she would have gone for other men, if Rudolph hadn't cockblocked her , whenever she dared to show interest in someone. Then he goes on to tell her how "he was going out of his way to help her", which is bull. He was GROOMING her. And as I said, he refused to let her go back home, because he wanted her by his side. The more I think about it, the creepier he becomes. I wonder why people find themselves relating to this manipulative, abusive stalker. At least it explains how Reylo was such a popular ship.

I feel like he's probably gotten used to it since he was turned into a robot in the first place

I mean, you no longer have to maintain a body, and the internet is an interesting place with newer things getting added to it by the minute

Rick and morty reference nice

"Rick and Morty", never fails

Can't wait for season 7 of Rick and Morty

For me, actually, the more I read the story the more I thought how bad it was. Specifically, it baffled me how the comic pretended that the species and races who lived by the mantra of "might is right" or who practiced slavery somehow were the ones with the best technological advancements. Even if they're aliens, they obviously behave not too different from humans and if we have learned anything from our own history is that promoting slavery, racism and/or never-ending wars doesn't create grounds for technological progress, quite the opposite actually. Second thing that's incredibly stupid is how the supposedly smartest characters approach moral dilemmas as if they were kindergartners. Are you telling me that "genius" Robot is incapable of realizing that just because you're a descendant of the Zaxal royal family you won't necessarily become an slaver? How stupid and racist you have to be to arrive to that conclusion? Furthermore, the idiot was in favor of shutting their dimension from others because of some irrational fear that he, what? Thought they would conquer other dimensions as they had done in the past?! Dude, you ended that threat, you can now open the dimensions and trade with other worlds, that would've completely solved the threat of any future Flaxan invasion if you have made them trade partners with Earthlings... JEESUS, how is Robot so stupid?!! Last but not least, Dinosaurus. My God, it's like it was written by a 6 year old. You have a fictional world filled with demi Gods and beings capable of rewriting reality and you're talking about fossil fuels, solar panels and global warming?? I mean, come on, there is not a single being in the Planet able to generate enough energy to replace fossil fuels or to clean the air from the CO2/methane??? It's hard to take the rest of the story seriously when I read shit like that, honestly.

@@kazuoua The character is flawed thats why we like it lol

@@austinpowers3659 hard to buy that excuse when every single character in the story behave and think in the same way as Robot even though they're considered "smart". Oliver, Dinosaurus, Robot and others I don't remember, they're all "geniuses" who arrive to the same moral conclusions, that utilitarian morality is the most logical and right thing to follow which then leads then to considering commiting genocides. The story teaches them that their conclusion is "wrong" because, well, "killing is bad" and "oh my god, if you kill someone others will feel really bad about losing a loved one"... and that's the moral epiphany. It really is stupid and simple-minded, I wish there had been better characters in the story.

@@kazuoua Chile, I thought I was the only one seeing this. It's why I hope the series breaks from the comics.

@@kazuoua Maybe he knows the flaxans etter tha you do and is aware that they are dmaned to the genetic level. it is only racism if it is irrational. I agree on the interdimensional trading part though (although maybe shit is more dangerous that we thought). PD: Regarding the might makes right slaver mentality halting progress, I would say that ot could just apply to a subset of minds from certain species, humans among them. Maybe they get creative boners from some form of nom human sadism or just sheer violence.

@@InstiGator805 ....Sharing their views doesnt mean I have the right to shut down views contrary to that view. If someone cares about something and mentions it, you discuss it with them. You don't say, You shouldn't care about it, and enforce a way of thinking upon them. If you don't like his view, then say it. Don't beat around the bush.

this mans story is he was a brain in a jar, lived threw racism. got a body, lost his friends. got a girlfriend, his girlfriend cheated on him. got to rule the world, is now a brain in a jar ruled by the world. like bruh he has lived far longer then most people and ended up losing more then he gained

I still don't get it to be honest. Sure he did some bad things, but it was mostly on personal level and really did not have real negative impact on the people. Mark ranted on about how Rex is bad because he wants control and shits, yet Mark accepts to be am Emperor, his dad was an Emperor. Societies need leaders, there has to be some level of control, and Rex technically did it best. The only reason, the real reason they opposed his rule was simply because well...he killed some people. Omni Man wiped the entire Guardians of the Globe and killed countless citizens, hell even geocoded against one planet and blew up his home empire and somehow everyone's ok with him being the Emperor afterwards. Rex ended up becoming evil because people like Mark choose to ignore the goods and focus on the bad when it satisfy their lust for revenge. While at the same time, he ignores the bad and focus on the good of his friends and families (Which by the way, Rex was once also his friend). And that son of Monster Girl? He acts like his people and family's are some innocent peace-loving dudes who did not try to invade Earth multiple times over and over and over and over after being told to stop being dicks at least twice. Maybe its not Rex's problem, maybe its his people's problem? Even after reformation, even after Rex brings the planet into prosperity, one overthrow and then they start go back trying to invade another dimension again, like jesus. Honestly, I think Rex's biggest mistake was betraying Mark before he at least tries to explain his plans of what an ideal utopia has to be. And his worst move was at the end where he makes enemies out of the Vultrumites. It would not matter if Mark has more power, because Earth loved Rex. If Mark tries to overthrow Rex, what's he gonna say to the people of Earth? "Guys, the dude who gives you Utopia, ends all slavery, deals with all criminals, brings peace and all the happiness actually kills some of my friends. So he has to be removed, please go back to the old ways and pretend this Utopia no longer exist. Oh, and there're aliens secretly breeding on your planet, just ignore them!"

@@peerawat9x wait didn't he slaughter most of his friends and earth's heroes?

@@giuseppepiuma1965 Some yes. But so did Omni Man. Yet most seems to get Omni-Man a pass despite him not doing anything productive in return. Rex at least manage to get things done, things that Cecil would have done anyway, which is acknowledged by those who eventually accepted Rex's positions, the things Robot have done are the things Cecil would have done if he had the options. Killing and Betrayal is nothing new, it happens on regular basis.

@@peerawat9x without Omni-Man the Viltrumite War could've be lost leaving earth in diret danger or indirect danger when Thragg came over the first time if Nolan wasn't there to rule over the Viltrumites and change their way. Not saying he deserved more forgiveness, just that it's plain false he didn't do anything useful for the planet. Second you have to consider the different birth circumstances: Nolan lived most of his life raised and brainwashed by an alien dictatorship, while Rex was born and grew on earth even on very particular circumstances, exposed since earth to human values. Regarding Cecil, he was one of a kind and betrayed allies on the daily basis but I don't remember him directly killing his allies in a preventing way. Even when fighting Mark, he tried to stop him rather than kill him. So I'd say it's a little different even if the parallels are there In the end from the logical point of view Rex was way better than Nolan in saving the lives of his people and helping them in the grand scheme of things but on the human (which is pretty relevant in Invincible's story) side Nolan turned into a hero choosing peace over war for his people, even the one who opposed him (which yeah came and bit him in the ass later on) and never directly forced them to do anything under his rule, while in the end Rex directly exterminated not some but most of the heroes of earth and his friends and attempted to do the same to his lover. From the human point of view Rex went from being a hero to a villain while Nolan the opposite

and dont forget he watched his friends die and his wife cheated on him

@@leoneyamada5408 his wife broke up with him before she had her relationship that's not cheating she helped overthrow him for being a tyrant

@@fomalhauto this was a year ago.... nobody fucking cares anymore

Yup

You mean like with the rest of the things they're subtly changing? Show is garbage. Comics were great.

@@LordVulcan93 tbh after reading the comic I can see why they would try to short hand a lot of things to make what they can fit in 1 season

@@RojoTrueShinobi I'm not talking about what they've cut out. I'm specifically talking about the race and sex swapping from white male and female characters only. They're going to do multiple seasons, so whatever they don't use now they can use at a later date, or use elements of in a different storyline.

@@LordVulcan93 I know this might be news to you but these kinds of changes are not necessarily made for PC reasons but to change the story so it gives something fresh for the readers to chew on. Also a second season is never a sure thing. So they have to condense story arcs into more bite size pieces. and no they cant just use things for a later date. Lets say they get 10 seasons of 8-12 episodes thats not enough to cover all the story arcs. they will be lucky to hit 5 seasons.

That makes no sense but ok

@@moth8775 how does it not make sense? Monster Girl transformed into her monster form. That form is male. And while male Monster Girl banged the alien chick and got her pregnant. Pretty straightforward really

I think that he didn't want her to communicate with the flaxans, so that only he could be in control

@@bendergamer6774 I genuinely don't understand why she never learned Flaxan. She lived there for literally a thousand years. On the point of Robot probably not wanting her to, you have to realize that they ruled Flaxan TOGETHER. Robot was still good, then. He even makes a point, saying something to the extent of "You would blend in more if you would learn the Flaxan tongue."

@@tabbycrumch3062 that just shows she did not really care for the greater picture. Just about the people she knows on personal level. That lead her behaviour to be with little hindsight not everyone can accept or see reason in temporary suffering for future.She probaly also never really had intrest in Ruling and was a ruler just in name only.

In the comics there's a part where they talk about this and how she couldn't learn. The language is INSANELY complex. It took Robot (an absolute genius) a decade to learn the language and monster girl says it has sounds she doesn't even know how to make. It's not that she didn't try to learn, it's impossible for a non-genius.

@@tabbycrumch3062 yeah and then they explain exactly why she can't learn it lol

Agreed. Love Robert Kirkmans Story telling style! He is very very talented and criminally underrated as a Comic book Author, I wish him the best in his Career as an Author and Executive Producer of the Franchise!

@@KeyIssues should she be with Abraham Lincoln the immortal then lol

She’s not conventionally immortal as she can still die to trauma/injury.

@@chuckingreaper8654 Paradoxical as it may seem but immortal does not mean cannot die. Yes she can be killed, die from disease etc but if she stays healthy she can essentially live forever.

@@KeyIssues shes dead now

i mean he is human

@@333dae i mean most of the human characters we got from fantasies dont act any human at all. Its kinda rare to see a character with some logical flaws and interesting contradictions between what they want and the consequences of it. Realistic yet still in a fantasy. Like that, if all i said makes sense

Yeah, I actually really like how after ruling for a LONG ASS time in a planet of his own(their own, with Monster Girl), he grew dissatisfied with Earth and takes charge because he knows he's the only one really capable of ruling such a chaotic place. I'm so glad that Earth thrives under Robot's rule, it logically should be since he's super smart and has a lot of experience already, but most of the time in fiction whenever something like this happens the new ruler can't control their new domain very well, or smth goes wrong etc. And in the end he's not bitter with his new role. He gets to give his opinions regarding Earth, but someone who has the humanity that Robot lost throughout the years gets to be in charge. Props to beating Mark 1 on 1 too by exploiting his weakness

@@largocharles8729 Pea on Azqlpooaaaaaa The ggg

@Jonathan Spier i mean... Yeah kinda like that

​@Brian Babin I'm not sure what you think "head canon" means, especially since you couldn't be bothered to spell it properly. Therefore, I will explain why this is not, in fact, head canon: It's a simple observation based on the Mauler Twins fighting over who is the clone, since they can only remember the same stuff as the original. But then it turns out that both are the clone, but they do have the original's memories. So even though the original Rudy will die, the new one will think he's the original. And now we know that from how the Mauler twins have been depicted. I have imposed literally nothing from outside the show itself, which is what head canon ACTUALLY is.

@Brian Babin huh? x100

@Keegan Dilley but like shouldn't they know considering the one who got cloned would've layed down in the left (or right) bed and woken up in the opposite one? kinda easy to tell with some deductive reasoning

@@benjamin32827 They probably stop thinkin about it after a while but in case with the Levy incident it was pretty clear who was the original clone and it just wouldnt go over. Mauler said it himself he cant work if he knows who the original clone is.

@@giorgosnikolaidis374 it's gotten to a point where it doesn't even matter anymore, they've grown so much into different personalities despite being the same individual for all intents and purposes that finding out who is the original wouldn't matter. So it works out regardless.

Eh I felt the legendary beef mark had for robot from his perspective more. It was a war for justice.

Well, I guess he does that as a pattern, he flukes out right at the end of his grand plans because of pressure.

Honestly his only major mistake was starting the robot wars because he was paranoid, for the most part he did pretty well

@@cookiesnugglez7318 if i have all of these super strong aliens who was raise only to kill living around the neighborhood i would be paranoid too

@@cookiesnugglez7318 I would also argue that if he could accomplish world peace from the head of the GDA, and keep it going by giving his suggestions to someone with authority then he really didn't need to kill Cecil or any of the other heroes. The only thing that would accomplish was giving him more power, which obviously is his endgame but it does kind of taint the whole "My actions were for the good of the world argument".

@@cookiesnugglez7318 what he did was literally equivalent to the tiananmian square protests, the government got somparanoid that the kids were gonna overthrow them or funded by the cia so they just massacred them before they could do anything

Dude just wanted to be a jar-dude

I think "poetic" would be the more appropriate term. It also seems like the character was always putting himself in "jars" of one kind or another. He had his suit and his moonbase that also served as enclosures that kept him safe.

Poetic.

What's worst just his brain

He was a cruel monster. There was no need to tear off Eve's leg.

@@starsiegeplayer He lost his gf, he executed a plan that ensured the benefit and safety of Earth that actually worked (better than anything Mark or the other heroes did in the long run) and got shafted for it and was driven to a point where he had no choice but to fight. Im not saying what he did was just but we not gon act like he didnt have his reasons for doing things. He was a good guy beforehand

Personally I think if he hadn't been betrayed by Monster Girl in the Flaxon Ruling arc, maybe all the heroes he killed would still be alive. If he was able to trust someone or people with what he wanted to do to save the world, like Mark who wanted to do something similar with Dinosaur, there could have been a more peaceful resolution. All he needed was someone to keep him grounded to his humanity.

Agreed, that really screwed him up.

@@steelheart538 Precisely. He already had it hard enough being the brains to the teams he led trying to ensure safety and peace for the world. Had Monster Girl and/or Mark kept by him to keep him grounded he would've kept sane.

I would argue that while he did do quite a lot of good, and I don't mean to downplay all the good he does, His dubious actions such as killing Cecil, Sampson, Kid Thor and Knockout were not for the good of the world but for his own good. Many characters justify what Robot did to Cecil by saying that he would be happy to die for this cause. However if that is the case he would be just as willing to enact Robot's proposed changes from the very position Robot uses to enact them. Killing him and the others was simply a way to eliminate the competition who would oppose his rule.

@@Oceanman90 To be fair the guy had severe trust issues when the person closest to him betrayed him in the Flax dimension. So yeah I would say his actions were for the good of the world but he was a broken man or a robot by the time of it, He believed he can't truly trust anyone with creating a better world other than himself without worrying someone would put a wedge in his plans so he eliminated people. His paranoia was through the roof by the end of the series that he was basically Cecil on crack.

@@NinjapowerMS ya monster girl betrayal only enforced his paranoia and removed what humanity he had left all that was left for him was the mission nothing else he even said it in the end that he was empty inside

Honestly, kinda made my own stomach drop lol

I think some of these changes are for the better. Sometimes stories benefit from cutting down on the amount of content. You don't want to try to cram too much in and just end up with this giant plot that people lose interest in trying to follow.

Id argue Thragg was still the main antagonist, Rex while what he did was awful didn't really care about Mark once he left Earth. Thragg on the other hand was still determined to kill everyone and rule the universe.

Hence the name, she for the skreets, she a real monster for that though...

Dude lived for a thousand years. He’s experienced more of life than any of us ever will. I think a brain in a tube is the least of his concerns.
