Invincible Episode 2x6

woohoo!

Comments

season 1 amber: total bitch, zero self reflection and despite her charity work, shows little to no empathy for others (to me at least, her charity work comes across as a means to serf her own self validation and ego, rather than actually helping people. which TBF, what ever makes you help others is worthwhile, but it makes her kind of a bitch to everyone around her) season 2 amber: much better, actually has some self reflection and grows. i like how they handled amber, and i 100% think the intent was to have her be hated for "knowing" mark is invincible, because you cant have any growth without flaws to fix. as much as i hated her in S1, i loved how she was written all together the reason they split up is what teenage peter parker has to learn, a healthy work life balance. its the tragedy of superman: superman can hear everyone on the planet all the time, he hears whenever there is a murder, accident, robbery, all of it.... yet for all his power hes still only 1 man, and cant be everywhere at once, and has to devote time to himself. same with spider-man, he has to learn that he cant give everything he has to saving the city, he needs to devote some time to peter parker and his relationships/happiness. mark can make it work with amber, if they both accept that mark doesnt have to drop everything everytime something happens, and that if he makes plans with amber, then he lets the world deal with its own shit. but thats part of growing up and getting any career

BOTH time on Mars, Mark has a pulled the "I understand" - cut to "go-go-go-go-go!" gag and it's hilarious both times.

Did you die? Sadly, yes..., but I lived!

Honestly, Debbie's argument about her raising Mark is a REALLY solid one. He's, to our knowledge, the ONLY Viltrumite that didn't turn on his planet; AND she managed to shake Nolan's dogmatic views as well. If anything, Cecil should bring her ALL the children he has in that government daycare he has! (lol)

I’ve read the light novels and Rudeus definitely does grow into a better person; just very slowly. Also even during the relapse he is still leagues better than he was in the beginning, it’s just a bit subtle in the anime since you don’t get everyone’s internal monologues every time something happens.

The Stormlight Archives are so good. It’s a crime that none of Brandon Sanderson’s books got adapted yet.

Clancy Brown is such a good voice actor

when they were talking about the sock on the door and when Alan broke the bed i thought 'oh shit Amber is gonna think mark's cheating, he broke a whole ass bed' lol

james blaire

Same Voice actor funny enough

DJ whatever you do, DO NOT give me a beat!

The government can reconstruct you after being blown to ashes, and "has medical tech, decades ahead of other hospitals" (Donald's words), but they can't do a whole body MRI to see if the completely malnourished and sleepdeprived astronaut is sequid free? Also, is the martian guy not going to be punished? He caused mass genocide on Mars and endangered Earth, at least put him in prison!

MorRud

when Kreeg said "answer me" I swear it was Mr.Krabs

matt B

And? That doesn't change anything

Btw the Atom Eve visual novel is free on Epic until the 28th

I like the fact they include injury that yo ucan indeed survive like getting shot through the head (not with that much blood loss to be fair), or having your guts out like the viltrumite in a previous episodes

Fenronin (Dorian Dubourg)

Amber and Mark... Just break up already! It would be best for both of you!

Prof. Walker

As somebody who loves reading about how finicky brain damage is, paired with how they cut away last episode I immediately knew Rex was getting back up. Rea should be dead, her surviving is bullshit.

mustofolys

Still, how incompetent that Supreme Lizard guy gotta be, that he missed a lethal shot while literally holding a gun next to Rex's head. And didn't even shoot him a second time to make sure. Lizard League, man

roc_kerf_ace

Seriously? You’d think she’d post something about it? Never even heard her mention the show.

Gai Valentine

She's already watched in her own time.

I hated Amber after her one WTF moment in Season 1 that destroys her character because it doesn't fit with her established behavior--it's just an attempt to "subvert expectations" by deviating from the comics. But in Season 2 they just completely pretend that moment never happened, and put her more in-line with her comic behavior, and she's back to being a completely relatable character again.

Liesmith

I remember being confused by it in the comic, thinking that they were hinting at something more, then realizing after a while "no, he just got really fucking lucky, and they aren't trying to imply anything else".

Liesmith

I really disliked Amber in season 1, but It switched to probably one of my favorite characters in Season 2, I feel she is super well written and all her feelings is valid, she is not selfish and Everything she's feeling is super valid and not shallow. I think she is super well written so far in season 2 and I love her. and I hope they work it out and can stick together for a little while longer atleast for both of their sake. but I do think long term they will propably break up and its for the better. just the fact she will die of old age before mark looks 30, but atleast for now they need eachother and good for eachother. sooo I dont know... :)

Christo Badenhorst

nah, I'm still hatin' on Amber. The more the show tries to undo the damage of s1, the more it feels like Amber and Mark's relationship is just spinning wheels. Also I can't help taking everything Amber says or does with a grain of salt.

angus Macintyre

Superheroes fuck up relationships just as much as an ordinary person, we literally have Rex as a living example

roc_kerf_ace

This wouldn't be the first unsympathetic-but-redeemed character we've encountered here. Remember Scar from FMA? Edit: now I kinda want to sellout the Stormlight Archive books again, there's a shitton of characters there, including one that had a really fucked up backstory and is currently going through the redemption arc in the literal sense of the word. But then again, I'd already mentioned the series in the comments under FMA episodes, talking about the exact same thing

roc_kerf_ace

Yeah, it didn't go through the middle of his head so he got extremely lucky. And the show did portray he significant damage he took, even to the point that his personality changed. I think it's a bit like Avdol in JoJo's

roc_kerf_ace

I mean that’s fair. If your outlook on growth is that you’re not allowed to relapse, then that’s your view. I ain’t gonna argue even tho I believe its unrealistic to expect people to change without bumps in the road along the way. But everyone has different beliefs. Also, in the off chance Alicia does eventually give the show a shot, everyone would appreciate if you kept spoilers out of the comments. She literally just banned several people for eluding to certain things in Apothecary Diaries. Thanks you.

Gai Valentine

I don't like that show, cause the guy was supposed to grow and yet HASN'T even after two seasons he is still trying to get into peoples pants. like half of season one worked well but suddenly its back to the old ways for season 2 and I can't stand it. Like I watched both seasons but the MC is way to pervy.

Speed1247

About Rex's survival: unless the show does a twisteroo, he just got very lucky. It's possible to survive getting shot in the head, and that's just what happened with him; he isn't any more resilient than a normal human.

Liesmith

Debbie is based and mompilled.

Liesmith

I am entirely on the Eve x Mark train, Amber is great and all, but I just think that Eve is better and that two superheroes in a relationship is better than a superhero and an ordinary person.

Michael

I don’t hate Amber, but I’m also really not invested in her and Mark’s relationship at all. They could stay together or break up and it wouldn’t matter to me.

Lukundra

You now liking Rex and referring to him as “a fucked up guy who wants to become better now” and saying things like “let people grow, goddammit” makes me think your reaction and take on Mushoku Tensei would be REALLY interesting. You had the same kinda sympathy and attitude towards Endevor from MHA as well. I feel like people really need understanding and sympathy to get into Mushoku Tensei and enjoy such a masterpiece.
