Allen tanking anissa’s punches was so badass. The show did an amazing job of showing a power scale by showing anissa so far beyond mark, and then allen so far beyond anissa
@@kaitiracedric2381 yeah they show the power scale super well very often. I was confused by how well Mark did against other Viltrumites on thraxa but I suppose that was him not holding back, making him a lot stronger. Allen just seemed so busted at the end
First, Anissa. Oh god. Non-comics folks aren’t ready. Second…THE COMIC CON SCENE. They captured one of the most amazing, iconic moments from the entire comic run PERFECTLY.
Sir, please tell me did they actually skip "that scene" with Anissa or it is not yet covered? I was utterly shocked when she showed up. Even realised who she is before they showed her face, just the back standing besides Amber.
Best episode of the season. Felt so many emotions, the fight scenes were incredible, the meta commentary on animation was fantastic. Just absolute perfection of an episode
It’s the best episode so far but somewhere in my brain is saying something was missing in the fight scenes, same goes for the other fights this season like they don’t have the same impact as the first season, idk
@@haziel_0196first season was an easier script to follow. Once Nolan kills the guardian of the globes in episode one, it was just a build up from there to see when everyone will find out that he killed them and how mark would react to it. The entire first season felt like it was there to build up the characters with different challenges to display their abilities and powers. This season, their rly isn’t one main story and it’s more focused on relationships more rather than focusing on big fights like it did in S1. Idk if this made sense to you or not but this is my opinion. Either way I’m loving S2 just as much as S1
Mark and Amber's breakup was handled way better in the show than in the comics. Also when the Invincible theme kicks in when Mark says "No!" is absolute perfection. This is really a pivotal part for Mark to get stronger, Allen's evolution and possibly new love interests... (I wonder who...)
@@obeywario1 What I loved about this adaptation is that it didn't have anything about Amber having a new boyfriend or anything, or any implications that Amber was potentially cheating on Mark. It was an organic, sensible break up between two mentally strong adults, and that just does justice to both their characters, they're just not meant for each other.
Amazon needs to give this show the funds needs to ensure success and that theyre able to meet deadlines. LOTR money need to be put here. This show is pure GOLD. Dam the seasons' done.
1 billion dollars for the lotr series, which was a huge failure And only 1 million dollars for the invincible show 😂🤦♂️ If this was animated by mappa in Japan. We were receiving the best and smoothest animation.
@@realanimeir3173mappa definitely have smoother animations. Is it just me tho or does it feel like theres less pop in the art idk what it is about their art and coloring compared to something like Bones, WIT or other studios to me. Not hating its just an observation ive noticed.
Best episode yet, honestly liked Anissa's new design, looks more like a hardened warrior than her comic book version. And the meta animation talk was quite funny and unexpected.
Oh my God, it's Anissa. I've been waiting for this, and they handled her really well. Thank god she broke up Mark and Amber. Also, the Comic con scene was perfect.
Hes definitely not holding back. Dont forget after this part in the comics, (spoilers) Cecil and the govt start helping mark get stronger by making him workout. This is when mark starts to get stronger.
I hated Amber in the first session because I feel like she was completely unreasonable in her response to Mark but I feel like they really made her relatable and likable and is actually a good person. Good job show people.
thank you so much for mentioning that cecil only cares about protecting the earth and anything else is expendable. Possibly my favorite character in the entire show. Sadly I see a lot of people focusing only on the fact that he does things normal people would find reprehensible, but in season 1 when debbie says she hates him, with little hesitation he says "me too". He knows he's not a good person, but his intentions are noble and i wish more folks would see that instead of just "oh he only wants to control people". also during his fight with anissa Cecil is in Mark's ear telling him the more logical and safe options for things to say. He doesn't want mark to die not just because he's earths best hope against anything the military can't handle, but because he's still a kid who's world was turned upside down only like a year ago. Cecil is the best character in the show and possibly one of my favorite "morally gray" good guy archetypes sort of character in general.
Thats the best part… People will realize Cecil is an amazing gray character. Only rn its too early for them to see hes actually redeemable. Around the (spoilers) Dinosaurus arc and before that when Invincible and him make up after their fallout you get a feel for what Cecil has been dealing with after Mark goes thru those same decisions.
The BESTTTT episode of the season. The plot really took full throttle in this episode. I’m still amazed by how well the creators have adapted the comic book source to the live screen! Another great video as always!!
CONQUEST!!!!! So hyped! He made a cameo in the show already when they went over Omniman’s origin story. Conquest is the GOAT. BattleBeast too but Conquest is my guy!!!!!
I hope that showrunners were checking people feedback. S1 amber was total bitch and everyone hated her. in S2 she is actually good character. and i really liked that change.
@@90AlmostFamous i understood the amber hate in season 1 but now I think people are just hating on her for no reason. Amber did everything right season 2 and you guys still want to burn her at the stake.
I like the show version better of the break up Mark being a hero is just way to much for their relationship especially her life being in danger every second being with Mark
For what it’s worth, I really enjoy these explainers and especially like the comic panel overlays on episode scenes. The weaving of the interview is seamless and really adds to the video as well.
It’s funny how the episode that pokes fun of the animations is the one with the most noticeable shortcuts out them all. Still an amazing episode but I was surprised by a lot of cut dialogue from the comics I expected to be kept. Like Mark being more direct with meeting Anissa two miles up, Anissa apologizing for having to threaten Mark’s loved one and her warning Mark about the other viltrumite could come in a couple months or a couple years. Can’t wait for the finale but man season 3 is definitely gonna take till 2025
@@whyshouldi9786 also the voice lines were probably recorded when the season was intended to come out in 2023, so maybe the "next year" is 2024. We can hope!
I think they purposely used all shortcuts possible during the Comic con scenes to help show the viewers exactly what he was talking about. For example, covering of mouth, behind the head talks, not showing lips, same background characters shown many times, colour palette swaps of background characters etc.
Mark is so powerful as a hero but it’s humbling to see him get manhandled by more powerful Viltrumites like Anissa. It’s a standout different between Mark as a Superman type character. I appreciate how Anissa and Sasha Calle resemble each other.
@@briengakaplan-b1550 Mark still doesnt want to Kill. Nolan told him straight to his face. The way he handled the Kaiju is also indicative, preferring to throw punches to knock it out. Anissa straight up killed it the same way Nolan would've. No hesitation. Anissa punches with (to take a page out of japanese manga's) killing intent. Heck yeah, Mark is still holding back. He still has naiveite
To be fair, Superman has gotten bodied by villains like Metallo, Desperation, Doomsday, Darkseid, Lobo, and Mongol. He isn't always portrayed as literally invincible, just extremely durable. People of equal or greater strength can physically damage him.
12:45 - As an African-American male, I can attest that a lot of people at my high school would wear Akatsuki Cloaks to school. One of my friends was almost a perfect 1-to-1 for that guy, actually.
Anissa didn't get a redesign. She looked pretty much exactly how Cory Walker drew her at the end of Invincible. Has nothing to do with Super girl. The show probably would have been further into production before that movie came out as well.
Anissa was introduced and we all know why she's hated. But keep in mind, that it won't go there immediately. At least until there's a major change within the Viltrimite Status Quo... It hasn't happened and I'm sure it'll take at least 4-5 seasons before it goes there, but when it does, it'll be a flame war all over Twitter...
@joshuacollins9316 after season 1 I think Amazon told them to tone it down look at ep 1 ending scene to mark and Nolan fighting those 3 compared to comics yeah no
I’m not blaming anyone in particular, but splitting an eight episode season into two parts, with the gap between those releases being an initial half a year and then weekly releases, definitely hurts my interest in the show.
That’s probably not gonna happen until season 3 lmao doesnt he show up at the end of the invincible war to fuck with him, so most likely he wont fight mark until right after the war finishes
This episode was structured so well. How they demonstrated Rex’s power level, then showed how much more powerful Invincible is. Displayed Anissas debut into the show perfectly
@@MusicLuv80 I’m not sure it’s a matter of strength. Maybe it’s training he requires. All pure Viltrumites had to kill their own to prove their strength to the empire. Invincible and other cross breeds weren’t trained this way
@@MusicLuv80that boyfriend and girlfriend issue is important in the comics and you’ll see by next season. Nothing is just pure filler for most of invincible. Theres consistency for a reason. To answer your question with Mark getting stronger its right after this next upcoming story
@@johannsanne5281 I see, but I think they needed to make it shorter. I am thinking they make that part long due to save money on production. Long time ago I remember someone saying that about animations. I wonder how strong he will get.
@@imjustchilling41 yeahh she gRAPES him... and honestly I thought she was about to do the same thing in the show, when she has her foot on his neck, and he starts to black out. I thought he was going to wake up to find out what she did.
It’s really weird how they just skipped the whole Anissa being assigned to having a child from mark. And than her going to take it in the future. That’s how mark has one of his sons. That’s kind of a huge part of the story. It’s weird how comfortable we are with violence but sexual violence we can’t handle even in a show made for adults. It’s part of the story the show is made for an adult audience. At what age are people adults in today’s world. Good god
Is there anyone on UA-cam that does Invincible Reviews that just reviews the Episode? Everyone seems to always bring up the comics and gives away spoilers for no reason. Show a pic of mark Basically naked and Anissa flyin away kinda tells you what happens. Is there a version of these vids that just covers what happens in the vids for ppl who don’t want to keep gettin spoilers?
I liked that they used Ryan Ottley's likeness for the comic author of seance dog. Also, the change in animation joke was a nod to the comic's other illustrator, Cory Walker who has that recognisable style for invincible
One thing about invincible comics is that character designs in the comic are inconsistent in regards to facial features, Nolan’s face is particularly bad in regards to the 2 different artists drawing it, especially since Corty Walker grew a lot as an artist over time Anissa looking so different is mainly because this design is essentially an almagam of her earlier faces, and making her look more serious. Her hairstyle is simply a more well kept, clean cut version of her comic look. Honestly I like her new design.
they took a random midseason break like its 2013, then spent 5 minutes of the shows time making a joke that involved and took up the precious time they talk about it takes time to animate...it pissed me off and made me laugh at the same time, perfect troll joke
I had just finished compendium 1 before this episode came out, was so cool to see comic to screen like that I absolutely can wait to see the angstrom levy stuff put to screen!!
Annisa isn’t that bad. She rapes Mark but has his son (who mark abandons) tries to ask for forgiveness and even fights to the death for marks cause. Unlike Thragg who ripped mark in half, broke his daughter’s leg as a child, murdered his brother, killed his father, produced hordes of children to be fodder, killed a fan favorite Battle Beast, etc. Some other things too but juts so Interesting why Annisa is the most hated….
One thing i notice that parallels Spider Man. 1. Being Annessa threatening like how Doc Oct threatens MJ and takes her hostage. 2. Angstroms creepy phone call akin to Green Goblin asking if spiderman can come out to play.
Not sure if you mentioned it, but I'm pretty sure the dude signing the Seance Dog comics is meant to look like Ryan Ottley, co-creator and artist of Invincible. Also Anissa hairstyle comes from the comics (Invincible n°139 cover art)
Great episode, great breakdown. I loved that fourth-wall break talking about the animation. One question that struck me: During the island fight, after they saved the cruise ship, Cecil told Mark his backup was "20 minutes out." But Cecil appears to be able to teleport more or less anywhere on Earth instantaneously. Why can't they send Mark's backup to him the same way? Apart from 'because plot reasons' I mean.
When mark and amber are going through it and that song feel it comes on crazy how I was feeling made me feel like the old times for some reason every time I watch this show just gives me memories as a kid for some reason and mark has the best life he just trynna be there for his family and girl
These weird little boys don't even have the capacity to see that their frothing hate for a fictional woman projects so much of their inherent character.
I really like how fleshed out the relationships are and some of the side characters like Donald and Rick are. The comics didn’t always focus too much on that aspect. Though it definitely had more “content”.
It probably happens mid season 3 or the finale Remember, they're rushing to get to the Invincible war which should start in Season 3 but they started it with Angstrom in season 2. It's safe to say they could be done with Invincible war in 2-3 episodes and after that have Anissa gRape Marcus. Fight with Conquest probably happens in the Finale. If they keep going at this pace Mark should be off world living with Eve by Season 6 or 7
Yo when you do an ad say the name twice for the service cause I had to rewind and I realized most wouldn’t. Your sponsors definitely value additional mentions and I guess I do too 😅
“Next time open with that” -Rex reminded me of iron man 2 when ironman and war machine were fighting in the globe and ironman finally used his lasers to cut the droids in half and rhodie said to open with that, and when Rex used his laser hand he did the same hand shape as Spider-Man
@@Flintlockon in season 1 her character was just super entitled. she was all about "social good" and trying to benefit society, and then she would act unreasonable when her superhero boyfriend was literally benefitting society at the most fundamental level. like "why are you out stopping a building from falling on an orphanage when you *should* have been meeting my parents?!"
@@wontonschannelAh i see! It seems they changed the character quite dramatically as her feeling selfish for wanting time with Mark and how bad it makes her feel as she also feels she has no right to feel that way is part of why they broke up. Seems a lot more relatable in the show. Thank you for explaining!
Anisa showed up an ripped off the band aid that was Mark and Amber's relationship. I don't care what her allegiance is or what her morals are, she gets a thumbs up from me just for doing that. 👍🏿
I love Amber. I felt how she felt, and I think she was right in breaking up with Mark. She deserve her own happiness. But, please, I need one episode where Mark is happy. He is not getting any break. I sometimes feel he will start hating his powers, bcz every shit in his life started with his powers.

@@papajohn3307nahh, season 3 will be invincible war and probably season 3 finale will be conquest
@@papajohn3307nope
I definitely love Anissa's Sasha Calle Supergirl look on the show
Sad to say, but Anissa had a good point about us Earthlings killing ourselves and the planet. It's unfortunate that she's such a batshit character.
Her logic was flawless, humans don't operate on flawless logic.
Anissa's introduction was truly awesome.
Best episode so far.
Am I the only one who loves Anissa? I love youuuu Anissaaaaa!
Not by a long shot she was awesome
This episode was structured so well. How they demonstrated Rex’s power level, then showed how much more powerful Invincible is.
Displayed Anissas debut into the show perfectly
When is Invincible going to get strong?
@@MusicLuv80 I’m not sure it’s a matter of strength. Maybe it’s training he requires. All pure Viltrumites had to kill their own to prove their strength to the empire.
Invincible and other cross breeds weren’t trained this way
@@goofysmp Hope it happens soon. Also I hope they stop this boy friend and girl friend issue thing. It feels like it's a waste of time.
@@MusicLuv80that boyfriend and girlfriend issue is important in the comics and you’ll see by next season. Nothing is just pure filler for most of invincible. Theres consistency for a reason. To answer your question with Mark getting stronger its right after this next upcoming story
@@johannsanne5281 I see, but I think they needed to make it shorter. I am thinking they make that part long due to save money on production. Long time ago I remember someone saying that about animations. I wonder how strong he will get.
Now that Armstrong Levy has showed up it'd have been amazing if they did the spiderman invincible crossover.
Between New Rockstars, Screen Crush & you, you're the only one that pointed out the background easter eggs in the Comic Con scene. Thank you, lol.
As an OG Invincible comic reader, the Invincible vs Conquest fight is going to be insane. Might give Superman vs Doomsday a run for its money.
“Akasuki from Naruto”, anyone else catch that or just me? 😂
Bro, I was looking everywhere for a comment like this. I’m sorry, but that was the worst pronunciation I’ve ever heard.
Paul, you're how I know it's 4 a.m. :) THANKS as always for being constantly on the case!!!!
i felt rex when he was getting nervous and tryna have positive affirmations this show made my week
I really liked Cecil in this episode. Come across a lot more human and likeable
Cecil generally in the show is more like able than in the comics.
Anissa, AKA Mark’s future baby mom
What are u serious?
@@imjustchilling41 yup🤰🏻
@@imjustchilling41you don’t want to look into it anymore than that… trust me
@@imjustchilling41Anissa raped Mark lol
@@imjustchilling41 yeahh she gRAPES him... and honestly I thought she was about to do the same thing in the show, when she has her foot on his neck, and he starts to black out. I thought he was going to wake up to find out what she did.
Pronouncing akatsuki completely wrong at 1:34 was diabolical 💀
Absolute menace
Seems like Donald died more times than Krillin.
Also anyone noticed Anissa's jiggle when she got hit when they were fighting? XD.
I thought Anissa was going to assault
Mark in that crater like in the comics😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 but we’re a little early
It happens much after Conquest fight. Not spoiling more, but maybe season 3 or 4.
Well well, one of the most talked about and insane characters in Invincible has finally entered the "Live" chat.
Rex, you're not Spiderman
Lmao,exactly my thoughts
This episode was bananas! Absolutely perfect and amazing.
It’s really weird how they just skipped the whole Anissa being assigned to having a child from mark. And than her going to take it in the future. That’s how mark has one of his sons. That’s kind of a huge part of the story. It’s weird how comfortable we are with violence but sexual violence we can’t handle even in a show made for adults. It’s part of the story the show is made for an adult audience. At what age are people adults in today’s world. Good god
Really loved that Donald scene. I feel like it was much better in the show. Feel like it hit just the way it should
ANISSA IS SUCH A BEAST!!!! i’m glad they let her show how “safe” earth would be under Viltrumite rule with her kill
Man i really hope Season 3 comes out next year
It wont.
@@marcbilic6473Voice recording for Season 3 is already finished. Next year is likely.
WAIT!!
THIS WAS THE LAST EPISODE?????
Is there anyone on UA-cam that does Invincible Reviews that just reviews the Episode? Everyone seems to always bring up the comics and gives away spoilers for no reason. Show a pic of mark Basically naked and Anissa flyin away kinda tells you what happens. Is there a version of these vids that just covers what happens in the vids for ppl who don’t want to keep gettin spoilers?
I liked that they used Ryan Ottley's likeness for the comic author of seance dog. Also, the change in animation joke was a nod to the comic's other illustrator, Cory Walker who has that recognisable style for invincible
9:03 What a great transition to sponsors!
I thought that Shantel VanSanten knocked it out of the park, she’s great in The Boys and in For All Mankind but she makes Anissa intimidating.
I thought Anissa sounded really familiar. The Boys and For All Mankind are 2 of my favourite shows now, so I’m happy she’s now in Invincible
She was actually kinda scary. Beautiful but fierce
Aka-suki 😂
Thank god someone else noticed
i didn’t wanna be that guy but def replayed what he said a few times😭
Donald... my guy is a true hero
did anyone notice spider man hand gesture when rex tried to use his hand cannon?
Cecil is really warming up to the kid
No one is talking about the rooftop scene with william and Rick, that whole scene was a rollercoaster of a scene.
One thing about invincible comics is that character designs in the comic are inconsistent in regards to facial features, Nolan’s face is particularly bad in regards to the 2 different artists drawing it, especially since Corty Walker grew a lot as an artist over time
Anissa looking so different is mainly because this design is essentially an almagam of her earlier faces, and making her look more serious. Her hairstyle is simply a more well kept, clean cut version of her comic look. Honestly I like her new design.
Can't wait for next week loving the vids
they took a random midseason break like its 2013, then spent 5 minutes of the shows time making a joke that involved and took up the precious time they talk about it takes time to animate...it pissed me off and made me laugh at the same time, perfect troll joke
I had just finished compendium 1 before this episode came out, was so cool to see comic to screen like that I absolutely can wait to see the angstrom levy stuff put to screen!!
Annisa isn’t that bad. She rapes Mark but has his son (who mark abandons) tries to ask for forgiveness and even fights to the death for marks cause.
Unlike Thragg who ripped mark in half, broke his daughter’s leg as a child, murdered his brother, killed his father, produced hordes of children to be fodder, killed a fan favorite Battle Beast, etc. Some other things too but juts so Interesting why Annisa is the most hated….
I was also shocked that Annissa was not played by Chloe Bennet and probably Chloe Bennet's Character will appear in Invincible season 2 finale.
I wonder who she is playing.
Ruh roh raggy there's gonna be a wild scene soon with Anissa
One thing i notice that parallels Spider Man. 1. Being Annessa threatening like how Doc Oct threatens MJ and takes her hostage. 2. Angstroms creepy phone call akin to Green Goblin asking if spiderman can come out to play.
Not sure if you mentioned it, but I'm pretty sure the dude signing the Seance Dog comics is meant to look like Ryan Ottley, co-creator and artist of Invincible. Also Anissa hairstyle comes from the comics (Invincible n°139 cover art)
Great episode, great breakdown. I loved that fourth-wall break talking about the animation. One question that struck me: During the island fight, after they saved the cruise ship, Cecil told Mark his backup was "20 minutes out." But Cecil appears to be able to teleport more or less anywhere on Earth instantaneously. Why can't they send Mark's backup to him the same way? Apart from 'because plot reasons' I mean.
Teleportation is expensive..
1:22 Oh yeah baby. The Invincible War is coming next.
The writing for this show just keeps getting better and better
The Rex spider man hand pose was great
I like when the style changed at comic con, they made him look like the comic version when Ryan Ottley left. Made it look more like tintin.
Love the Crest fake out!
What happened to the Bad Batch S3 breakdowns? I really miss them.
When mark and amber are going through it and that song feel it comes on crazy how I was feeling made me feel like the old times for some reason every time I watch this show just gives me memories as a kid for some reason and mark has the best life he just trynna be there for his family and girl
Anissa caused the one thing Dudebros wanted so badly to happen in the show means more people will simp for her..
They'll simp until a few seasons from now... Or they'll simp even more
@@TheRealHeroKnight oh they know the canon event full well
These weird little boys don't even have the capacity to see that their frothing hate for a fictional woman projects so much of their inherent character.
Are there really guys out there that f'ed up in the head?
@@ContagiousSponge yup.
I love, Anissa. She is perfectly drawn. She is so gorgeous.
I really like how fleshed out the relationships are and some of the side characters like Donald and Rick are.
The comics didn’t always focus too much on that aspect. Though it definitely had more “content”.
It probably happens mid season
3 or the finale
Remember, they're rushing to get to the Invincible war which should start in Season 3 but they started it with Angstrom in season 2. It's safe to say they could be done with Invincible war in 2-3 episodes and after that have Anissa gRape Marcus. Fight with Conquest probably happens in the Finale.
If they keep going at this pace Mark should be off world living with Eve by Season 6 or 7
Yo when you do an ad say the name twice for the service cause I had to rewind and I realized most wouldn’t. Your sponsors definitely value additional mentions and I guess I do too 😅
“Next time open with that” -Rex reminded me of iron man 2 when ironman and war machine were fighting in the globe and ironman finally used his lasers to cut the droids in half and rhodie said to open with that, and when Rex used his laser hand he did the same hand shape as Spider-Man
Had Anissa snapped amber, i would have rated this episode 10/10
I have not read the comic books but am a big fan of the show. Why is Amber hated so much?
@@Flintlockon in season 1 her character was just super entitled. she was all about "social good" and trying to benefit society, and then she would act unreasonable when her superhero boyfriend was literally benefitting society at the most fundamental level. like "why are you out stopping a building from falling on an orphanage when you *should* have been meeting my parents?!"
@@wontonschannelAh i see! It seems they changed the character quite dramatically as her feeling selfish for wanting time with Mark and how bad it makes her feel as she also feels she has no right to feel that way is part of why they broke up.
Seems a lot more relatable in the show.
Thank you for explaining!
BRO I GOT A CREST AD!!!
At this point you’d think Kill Cannon would just retire.
Anisa showed up an ripped off the band aid that was Mark and Amber's relationship. I don't care what her allegiance is or what her morals are, she gets a thumbs up from me just for doing that. 👍🏿
I think most of us can agree we hated amber during season 1 but they redeemed her in season 2
I love Amber. I felt how she felt, and I think she was right in breaking up with Mark. She deserve her own happiness. But, please, I need one episode where Mark is happy. He is not getting any break. I sometimes feel he will start hating his powers, bcz every shit in his life started with his powers.
1:33 Aka-zuki? from Naruutoe?😂😂😂 the way he said it
Might be in the top three episodes of the series, only 2x4 and 1x8 are alongside it imo
Knowing where the comics go I can’t wait for this to be topped
Donald is one of my favorite characters! He is a real superhero!
Mark is a better man than me, the way Anissa would have me folding… 😂
Bring back the 20+ episode seasons
Good on ya Paul, great job as always.
