Dinosaurus time! Can't wait to see how they'll top the Conquest fight this season. I'm guessing they'll also skip alot of the terrible Bulletproof content from the comic if they're showing Eve still active.

They must have figured out a deal to use the rights/likeness of that iron man/megman guy who was a cameo last season because he has way more scenes here.
I'm hoping his story is fleshed out more as well.

I think you are referencing Tech Jacket?
No actual rights deal needed here is my guess, as Tech Jacket originated from Robert Kirkman's own comic series (which crosses over with Invincible), so it's all in-house for the show

More Battle Beast? I'm in through the end.
Wild Cards done in this style (gritty snimation) would be AMAZING. How that 80's series, with GRRM as well as others involved, hasn't been made is beyond me. All these "adult superhero tales" owe it to WC.

Season 4 is okay so far.
The show overall is pretty decent, but some of the writing is questionable with some serious plot holes.
For example, Cecil has a weapon that can take out a viltrumite. His high frequency sound device. It took down Mark and took out a Mark from another dimension. Why not then use this more in the Invincible war? Why not give these devices to all the heroes? Why not whip it out when Conquest showed up? That weapon combined with the ReAnimen would have saved a lot of death and destruction.
I know that if this happened we wouldn't get any of the great fight scenes, but if you then need to write in a reason as to why it wasn't used.

A friendly word of advice: don't eat a big meal before watching episode 5. I am not normally squeamish about gore in television, but the end of this one was hard to watch.
Completely unrelated, but in humans the small intestine is roughly 15 to 22 feet (4.5 to 7 meters) long, while the large intestine is much shorter at approximately 5 feet (1.5 meters).

Holy shit at tonight's ep, 5th. This season's delivering on all fronts.
People are gonna talk about the insane fight at the end but the confrontation in the first half of the ep with Omni and ex-wife was great too… just a really well acted and written scene, like out of a drama.

Agreed about them doing that sex joke a couple times too many, but disagree on the 4th ep. As someone who's never read the comics I have always been interested about Damien and his backstory, where he's from, "hell", etc. We got a lot of deep lore in that ep about how it goes back several civilizations, how the underrealm works, their morality. And the fight scenes and characters were pretty cool too.

Just the sense of dread felt whenever a Viltrumite's hand straightens out…
It's like that moment in action anime when a character senses a killshot and immediately, preemptively jumps back and guards, regardless of if they were winning the fight or not.

The problem is doing all that stuff to the character that will not die
Excellent ep across the board.
At the beginning, it was really difficult for me to get into because of the horrible animation... it was almost on the '80s He-man levels. Then I stopped caring and just enjoyed

They are setting up a love angle with Oliver. I don't know how many seasons Invisible will get but I can't imagine Oliver's story ending the same as the comics.Why is Tech Jacket needlessly gender swapped into a woman now, oh right it's still an adaptation written by modern writers
Was Olivers planet wiped out? 'Cause it seems like Viltrumites can breed with his insect race and get a preeeetty viltrumite looking offspring, and they grow super fast, so it would seem like the solution to the vultrimite problem is right there, so I"\'m not sure why no one seems to give a shit about Oliver. And you'd think Conquest would show up to Earth, see Mark as a shining example of human/vultrimite breeding, and report that back. So the whole "we need women!" angle seems really poorly thought out as we are 2 for 2 for vultrimite DNA winning over the other race.

This was 90% worth staying up late to watch.
The 10% are the awkward 'flying' animations. Their artists are having a hard time animating hover and slow flight so it consistently looks like dragging a jpeg around the screen.
Everything else though, pretty damn cool.

was that powerful. The gap between that character and everyone else is almost as big as the gap between Nolan and everyone else on earth in season 1.
The gigantic power level difference actually confuses me a bit, because it feels like a 'what if Beerus suddenly appeared mid-DBZ series'. It was damn cool to watch though.

yeah thragg is on some other shit, it's like he's the "broly" of the viltrumites with how much he gaps the rest; dope episode though I was hoping from some more out of battle beast, guy barely got a lick in.

I mean…the character was doing certain feats beyond any other individual, even Conquest, who everyone in and outside of the show keeps saying was the second strongest character who lived (up until this point).
Using pure power this person vacuumed the air around their arm for a punch that
sent Nolan back into space. He was so fast he caused shockwaves in outer space that pushed people back. Mark's full power rage punch was as strong as Debbie's punch to Nolan. He also moved too fast for Nolan and Mark to even see when he killed who he killed.
That's why I mentioned Beerus instead of Broly.
I truly don't blame Mark for having on 'oh shit!' moment and attempting to fly away.
It genuinely felt like this character isn't supposed to be what they are is or like the character came from a different series or something. There must be a way they will de-power this character soon or else everyone is doomed to die within seconds.

Yeah, people said he was a fraud. Lol. Thragg was absolutely terrifying in this episode.
However, way, way too overpowered. What is the lore reason for him to be that OP? It's ridiculous. With that power he could solo the coalition of planets with ease.
Also, I know
He has a fight to the death with Battle Beast at some point, but last season Battle Beast took damage from low ranking viltrumites, wheres high ranking viltrumites like Nolan or Mark can't lay a hand on Thragg. In this current universe it shouldn't be a fair fight.
There needs to be some consistency with power scaling. How is Conquest going out like he did? Lol. There were a million ways to get out of that. The quality of writing is all over the place.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
That was some fucking beatdown Thragg handed to Mark and Nolan.
What does it matter? They lie up for a week to heal and then its right back to "charge right at him and punch punch punch punch". I don't think Mark fights with a single bit of difference from his first fight to his last. The total lack of ANY thought towards a Vultrumite martial art style is the biggest failing of this series. In comic form it's probably less glaring but in animation...sheesh. No real attempt to use weapons (surely a tungsten or depleted uranium hand spike would punch through, or make it a neutron star spike, sure why not?), no attempt to fight against anatomy, how does choking a guy so he can't breathe (despite flying around in space for HOURS) make ANY sense when he can eviscerate you? Do they not have windpipes, hyoid cartilage, blood vessels to the brain? It wouldn't bother me as much if the fighting didn't take up so much screen time and if they didn't RELISH in the gore of beating each other to a pulp. Or I'm just spoiled by anime that do have distinct fighting styles and tactical battles where you can see the characters THINK instead of just "punch HARDER 'cause NOW I'm mad!"

Really? You don't feel even a little bit that Mark is getting totally sabotaged by the decisions to show him just ramming himself into someone else, over and over? Think about the COUNTLESS kung-fu/martial art films where the protagonist has to master complex techniques in order to defeat the big bad, to see that potential legacy thrown away for the "madder i get, the harder I hit" superpower, it's juvenile at best.

Invincible is closer to American comics more than it is to Manga or Martial Arts Films.
I feel like you're searching for a different show or movie entirely and tried to watch Invincible as an answer to your search. Bad idea, that can lead to ranting.
Oh, my complaints stretch alllll the way back to the first season, and this is why I don't read a lot of capeshit.

That's just the way the budget went. Although i don't recall the comics looking great either.
