@AniRayComics @WheresAlto I think reevaluating Art's character and understanding how many of his friends were killed or hurt by Nolan is fine. Oliver doesn't dislike him because of the violence, he's mad at being ignored. Mark is going to join up with Dinosaurus, guy who likes the viltrumite carnage

@WheresAlto Its like any negative or controversial traits or decisions these characters make get axed in the show to make everyone seem more traditionally likeable, which imo removes their messy humanity that made these characters believable and compelling

Sucks that the only person in Nolan's corner in the book is just scared or hates him like the rest The show really is afraid of nuance

@bzngg_ig @hoe4reform @MatiSavu @marsshul Again she could've handled it better but my god so could have Mark so I don't feel any animosity towards her about it

@bzngg_ig @hoe4reform @MatiSavu @marsshul She knew that he was actively lying to her and not trusting her, that hurts. It isn't the best way to handle conflict but I can see why she played along with the lie and got mad at him for abandoning her without reason, if he isn't being truthful why should she give him grace?

While i was rewatching invincible, i noticed mark acting like he just left an abusive relationship after he got with eve “you’re not upset at me?” Meanwhile he’s the one who’s been late to every date ever, yeah man you kinda deserved to be hated by ur gf

@bzngg_ig @marsshul You can do that without lying and making promises you know you can't keep, Mark needs/needed to learn that

@marsshul he’s late to the dates because he was saving innocent lives

@AnthonyGladiato denofgeek.com/tv/invincible-…

I really wish i could agree but legitimately I cannot think of any other reason as to why they aged down tech jacket and changed their gender

@kjassasin @codebybabz @harrisonJNIOR yeah Mark and Clark don't use martial arts but their conclusion from that evidence was stupid and I was addressing that

@SatineStone45 @codebybabz @harrisonJNIOR "The major problem with super powered hero’s like Superman and invincible is that they depend solely on their powers they don’t take karate Taekwondo seriously." Literally the start of OP's post u skipped it and went to the 2nd part

The major problem with super powered hero’s like Superman and invincible is that they depend solely on their powers they don’t take karate Taekwondo seriously. they don’t even train. That’s why they depend on luck to beat someone strong from their planet.

@codebybabz @harrisonJNIOR x.com/i/status/20394…

@SatineStone45 @harrisonJNIOR OP is just saying they're strong but they don't know how to fight. How could you miss the point. Mark gets his shit kicked in Everytime he fights. It should be obvious but oh well.

@Daper_Bear It remains to be seen how it will play out with Oliver but so far that is not the stated reason for the change denofgeek.com/tv/invincible-…

I’m actually gonna lose my shit if the only reason they changed TechJacket’s gender was to give Oliver a girlfriend. Because they already did this with ShrinkingRae, and I let it slide because Rae/Ray didn’t really have that big of a prominent role in the comics.

@social_uc @thatkenyankid @Fenrirtheicewo1 @ProfezzorTree No young boy is wearing an iron man suit and flying into space to fight aliens but that didn't seem to stop people from relating to Tech Jacket for some reason

@thatkenyankid @Fenrirtheicewo1 @ProfezzorTree No average joe is going through a redemption arc like nolans and PTSD of mark oliver sure but this is a adult show not kid

Sigh... so many fun and relatable moments for young dudes down the gutter...

@RabbitRadicals Being raised a mormon means any mentions of modesty gives me the creeps, immediate misogynistic vibes

hot take these kind of opinions are misogynistic in nature

@NeverRepentant @LDS_Dems Read the book big dog, it's scientifically backed with plenty of real quotes and examples

@LDS_Dems It shows an enormous lack of empathy to actually believe people vote against their interests just to screw over someone they don't like... Just because someone thinks a particular policy is better for the country doesn't mean they dislike the people who might benefit from it.

There is a great book called Dying of Whiteness that posits that white americans will deliberately choose policies that create self harm as long as they believe people they don't like are being harmed as well. For example:

@driptone172587 @harrisonJNIOR "They don't even train. That's why they depend on luck to beat someone strong from their planet" Yeah Mark doesn't train in martial arts but to act like he relies on luck because he doesn't train in one specific aspect of fighting is dumb as hell

@SatineStone45 @harrisonJNIOR martial arts training bro

@konkonxo @C_U271D This is what the gratuitous violence is for, it makes the viewer feel what the character is feeling. I think superhero watchers tend to get desensitized to violence so they play it up to get the viewer in the mindset of Mark x.com/i/status/20393…

@konkonxo @C_U271D We're are having fundamentally different conversations then. I'm talking about impact on characters, the world around them, and themes. You're talking about characters surviving unrealistic injuries, which is silly, but so is fighting a guy who turns into an ecoterrorist dinosaur

It just dawned on me that if you took the Invincible show and just dialed down the explicitly graphic/gorey violence that would have been the ideal version of what I wanted action cartoons to be as a kid

@konkonxo @C_U271D The violence is central to the show. The gore grounds the show in the actual consequences of violence. People rejecting Nolan in the new episode would not land nearly as well without knowing the extent of harm he caused. If you think it adds nothing then go watch Spider-Man ig

@C_U271D Yeah it is basically the closest thing we have to spectacular Spider-Man. The gore and adult themes in the end truly add nothing. I would say it gives them more freedom than if invincible were to air on say DisneyXD but I’ve yet to see the series do anything with its adult rating

@RawbertBeef Omnibuses are great for fans who are coming to a series after it came out. It is easier than finding all the trades and they also include side content like one shots. I especially like the Invincible Universe compendium for this, I wouldn't have read those books otherwise

“Omnibuses are for larpers” implies that people who buy omnibuses don’t read comics. Wtf are they doing with their $60-150 books that are full of comics then? Staring at them?

@DaRkWyRuZ @BobbensArtDen Yes there is a fundamental difference between having similar background characters and having two main characters of a given arc look similar. Besides, the logical endpoint of your argument is that the viltrumites should look different and not that changing Tech Jacket was bad

@BobbensArtDen "We can have 100 same viltrumites, but god forbid two similiar human characters"

As someone whose only exposure to Tech Jacket has been in Invincible's comic I felt like he was just a second Mark who existed solely to say 'joke' dialogue that Mark would say if he wasn't going through one of the most stressful parts of his life. I think Zoe is neat.

@elEmilio_W I agree that Nolan's opinion of Conquest was missing from the show, but i think Mark's silence worked. The desperation he had making sure he wouldn't let go, his silence made it feel like he was just on the edge of giving out every second since he didn't have strength to talk

Sobre la pelea de Mark y Conquest round 2. Honestamente me sentí un toque desilusionado, ya que esperaba que la extendieran un poco más, incluso siento que faltaron más diálogos por parte de Conquest y Mark interactuando, incluso con Nolan. Hubiera salido conversaciones muy ricas de ahí, incluso algo similar a lo que tuvimos en el final de temporada anterior donde agregaron cosas a la personalidad de Conquest. Estuve esperando el diálogo donde Conquest le cuenta como despertó encarcelado y como Mark se da cuenta que fue Cecil. Incluso siento que faltó un poco más de peso a la presencia de Conquest, ya que en el comic, incluso Nolan se siente asustado por su presencia. La persecución de Oliver se me hizo más angustiante en el comic, aunque la parte donde Conquest aparece atrás es aterradora. Sinceramente siento que la hubiesen alargado un poco más, pero tampoco fue malo, incluso el final es visceral e impresionante, esa parte donde Conquest comienza a sacar las tripas de Mark y la escena parece no terminar jamás, ME ENCANTÓ ESO. Capítulo 8/10

@shan_4rt @kabrieltwt The knowledge was sourced from Nolan's books. Nolan encountered the Galdarians and learned of their power, he was instructed to find a person with their armor on Earth. He wouldn't know about Powerplex due to him being off earth (and I doubt Mark would recommend bringing him)

@kabrieltwt Didn't Powerplex killed one too, why doesn't he get to go

I was really confused, like did I missed something where they explained why she's needed to fight Viltrumites
