I think it’s great, with a strong voice cast and faithfulness to the original material (with changes here and there), including not shying away from the graphic violence. Not that I’d mind a bit less splattering brains and disconnected eyeballs. ;) The animation is pretty basic, but I think it works for the material. I was such a fan of the comics that I bought them in both trade and deluxe hardcover for a while before switching to digital. :lol: |

Late 2023?? Goddamn.

Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
Jeez.
seems like everything that we thought we’d get this year is being delayed to late this year or next year. |
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
I dunno why but I couldn't get past the first episode of the show. It was well done but didn't connect with me. Even the big final scene of the first episode failed to hook me.
Spoiler:

Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
That moment occurred in like issue 12 in the comics so that the other characters were a bit more developed and it was the end of a story arch. They did it that way on the show to try to hook viewers though.

First 4 episodes premiere Nov 3rd and back half premieres early 2024. That is annoying

Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
There is also a stand alone episode that dropped today called Invincible Atom Eve.

Based on the groundbreaking comic book by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, the story revolves around 18-year-old Mark Grayson, who’s just like every other guy his age—except his father is (or was) the most powerful superhero on the planet. Still reeling from Nolan’s betrayal in Season 1, Mark struggles to rebuild his life as he faces a host of new threats, all while battling his greatest fear - that he might become his father without even knowing it. Starring Steven Yeun, with Sandra Oh, Zazie Beetz, Grey DeLisle, Chris Diamantopoulos, Walton Goggins, Gillian Jacobs, Jason Mantzoukas, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, Zachary Quinto, Andrew Rannells, Kevin Michael Richardson, Seth Rogen, and J.K.

Brown, Peter Cullen, Rob Delaney, Calista Flockhart, Phil LaMarr, Luke MacFarlane, Tatiana Maslany, Scott McNairy, Jay Pharoah, Ella Purnell, Tim Robinson, Ben Schwartz, Rhea Seehorn, Lea Thompson, Paul F. Tompkins, Shantel VanSanten, and more. |

Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
The first episode should be up later tonight.
|
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
Decent episode that sets up the season but nothing like the 1st episode of S1.
I wonder if people will get fed up with the multiverse stuff. |
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
Pretty entertaining beginning to the season. It's easier enjoying this show since I am only barely familiar with the major arcs in the comic run.
|
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
Reginald Vel Johnson playing Principal Winslow at Reginald Vel Johnson HS!! 😂😂
And, I loved they did the same beginning as S1 when they are about to say Invincible, but it suddenly goes to title card. They did it towards the end, but it wasn’t the same. |

Poor Allen :sad:

Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
Viltrumite John Stewart was badass.
Fantastic episode |
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
They are wasting a ton of screen time on the useless emotional fall-out from Mark's mom. We get it, you married a psychopath. That's what happens when you cast a big name like Sandra Oh in the role and they need to give her character something to do.
I also would have gone with Leonard Cohen's original version of Avalanche in place of Nick Cave's cover. |

Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
Why are only 4 eps playing now and another 4 not until next year? Was bc of the writer’s strike?

Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
I think most of the budget went into the voice cast with animation being an afterthought. This is why Hollywood can't churn out productions anywhere nearly as fast as Japan's anime industry.
|
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
I can't believe I not only like this show, but actually love it. When I first started watching I couldn't stand how generic and cheesy it was, but then, it just grows on you to the point you go all in on.
Steven Yeun is literally the perfect voice for Invincible. Omni-man is an awesome fighter to use in Mortal Kombat one as well. |
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
I really wish they had more episodes per season. It's not bad but the show would have more depth with better character building.
|
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
My social media feeds have so much Viltrumite content its insane. I haven't watched this show yet, but it feels like the universe is trying to get me to watch and/read the comic.
|
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
i started rewatching from S1...
|
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
I just started the new season.
Confused about what that stuff was with Invincible and Omni Man in the beginning. A different dimension I guess? |

Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
Invincible Season 2 returns March 14! Mark goes back to college, reads his dad's books, and nothing bad happens to him or his family. This is a very official synopsis. |
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
they are running these on Thursdays now? it always used to be Fridays.
|
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
episode 5 was pretty good, but if Mark is so invincible, why does he get the shit beat out of him almost every episode? lol
i thought the line that Robot (Zachary Quinto) said about the ship not being from Star Trek was pretty funny. |
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
I thought that's part of the point, that he's not Invincible.
Reminds me of New Mutants where Cannonball is "nigh invulnerable" while he's blasting but that gives just enough leeway for stronger people to beat the crap out of him. |
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
The show just seems to have a fetish for brutally beating Mark up. Almost torture porn if we're being honest. The animators actually detail the graphic violence while leaving major things like character design and backgrounds subpar. It's a choice, I guess.
That being said, the fight between the Serpent Society(?) and the b-team of heroes was a complete destruction worth catching. Almost made up for all the pointless girlfriend/mother/baby brother melodrama. |

Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
Well that was a disappointing season finale, making the mid-season delay even more questionable. Doubt we get more Invincible before early 2026 at this rate. They seem really committed to 8 episodes of 45 minutes, but pacing and storytelling would be far improved with 10-12 episodes of 30 minutes.
I think when they write the postmortem on this series its biggest problem was throwing the entire budget at the Hollywood voice actors and soundtrack. |

I thought different. The season just sort of meandered, and this was all sorts of plot advancement. Some good stuff. Loves the universal jumping.
|
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
The episode itself was fine but felt more like a random mid-season stopping point. Multiverse stuff was okay but the way they save Mark felt like a deus ex machina.
This show loves giving people black eyes. |
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
I’m surprised no one brought up the comicon bit.
Mark and his girlfriend went to one and the comic book creator of the dog book explained how they can only do a season every few years and how they go cheap on animation. |
Re: Invincible (Amazon): animated series based on the comic by Robert Kirkman
^Yeah, that was kind of funny, though maybe too obvious of a 'wink at the audience' scene. Did Kirkman do the voice of the comic book creator?
