The sad thing, and the excellent writing here? Mad respect for Anissa at this point in the story. For various reasons a justifiably proud, competent warrior was handed a diplomats job she wasn't properly trained for, had zero aptitude for, but she put the work in for. She studied human culture, world events, researched her target. She presented a coherent and logical argument. For a viltrumite she was incredibly restrained. If this is where things ended, I would have loved her as a character.
But their mission is to appoint themselves as a protective force to planets They only destroy civilizations because the civilization will not be around forever and viltrum is apart of the "nothing matters" due to them being so strong and healthy Even to each other
It's too late I already looked it up and I'm glad I did, whenever I see anything resembling that scene in the show I'll just skip completely over it now.
I have no idea why people are so mad about that particular scene compared to others. The show is filled to the brim with dark themes. The show is meant to be graphic. Sure, some people have actual trauma getting SA'd, but if you didn't wanna trigger trauma if any kind, why on Earth are you watching a show like Invincible? That makes about as much sense as watching The Boys and expecting not to get weirded out from time to time.
Writers are honestly in a shitty situation with this one. If they censore the scene, they will get hate from the fans, but if they stay true to the original it's likely that Prime Video will be angry and some fans will be upset.
@@PigMaster007 Anything that will give it publicity is fine by them. This would too good of an opportunity to pass up and they will come too see it regardless.
I just hope the show beats you over the head with how bad it is and you’re messed up if you enjoyed it also I need the Twitter page to shame those people
Rex becoming the new leader of the Guardians is PERFECT! From being someone who ridiculously self proclaims himself to be the leader when the other Guardians are away to someone who steps up to the task and takes all the justified responsibility of actually being the leader. That would be awesome.
I've loved watching Mark and Amber try with full earnest and fail. We all knew it would happen, but I wanted to see it, to explore the challenges of heroes dating non-heroes. I wanted to see these two people who are both sacrificially altruistic give it a go and have it fail, not because they're bad people or because they don't have chemistry, but because the circumstances just don't work out. I think we need to remember every so often that break-ups don't always happen because somebody's bad. Sometimes you're just on different paths in life.
I’m going to take a guess and say Rudy is going to do some seriously dark shit at some point. He’s been shown as obsessed with having control over anything he sees as weakness, he even tries to cut out his own fear response. I imagine if something happens to monster girl he’ll end up going ape shit, he could even cut out his own empathy to make himself more focussed and pragmatic like Cecil, who he parallels as a character in terms of pragmatism. I think it would be interesting if he cycles back around to being a “robot” by literally cutting out his emotions over time because he thinks it needs “fixing”.
3:15 yeah, seems like the meta jokes about making animation seems to be from old cartoons like Rocko's Modern Life and South Park. There seems to be always one episode dedicated to sharing the animation production pipeline to the viewer in some form
I really dislike how much [the incident] has hijacked the discourse of this episode and much of the series. I really hope the show handles it with grace because comments are gonna be the "💀" emoji for the rest of the series.
It’s crazy because hiatus’ have been longer in other series and it only happened once in the second season so far. I’m STILL WAITING ON ONE PUNCH MAN AND THESE MF ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS??! KICK ROCKS, INTERNET!
Think it's not just a case he's a superhero but the situation Mark is in is way beyond most superheroes. Their JLA got murdered leaving their planet a lot weaker, Mark's own species are space conquerers so he has an obligation there. So think if the circumstances weren't as bad as they are their relationship could have survived. Just glad they handled the breakup relatively well with no one being the bad guy. Sometimes the circumstance just evolve way out of your control.
Part of me is hoping Anissa doesn't do that "scene" in the series cause it was really hard to read in the comics , but I understand it's an important part of the comics so hopefully if it does happen in the series , it's done respectfully
Personally I think because of how sensitive the world is now they aren't going to do it but rather they're going to make a new scene that still makes sense to the Lore where Mark goes through something equally as tragic ,my main theory is that maybe the TV show version of Amber is going to die because she wasn't all that important in the comic when she was no longer a focus
i think they will do it through implication, maybe she knocks him to the ground and it fades to black only to resume as she says like in the comic "we should have another appointment" or something along those lines and that will be enough
i think it should definitely be shown. throughout the rest of the comics after that scene, his interactions with her are completely tainted and it even plays a large role in causing a rift between mark and eve. i do get that it’s a bit uncomfortable, but considering the violence we’ve already seen in the show i think most should accept that worse is to come.
I think my favorite part of Anissa's fighting is how she has a "signature move". She brings them in the air and plants her feet and kicks them down. Very cool.
When I saw how slow he was reacting to her, I said he needs to link up with Goku in the gym. This man has refused to practice and train for a moment like this, and he was already told that this and worse was going to happen by his father Prior to him being taken away. Get it together, oh my God, Mark. Also glad his girl ended it and even more, was mature enough to ask the question to begin with; “is this going to work and how?” I also think it’s terrible that both of them saw themselves as not doing enough. I feel like that is definitely something people struggle with, and to see it approached in this manner with this dynamic of a relationship is called to see.
And now that Anissa is here it’s just a matter of waiting for the moment she goes all Booty Warrior on Mark, luckily we still have a couple seasons to wait for that
Great Video! I do feel like you kinda glossed over Allen's new strength though. He got Anissa bleeding with one punch and she literally did 0 damage to him. He is strong as hell and that plot line is gonna be hopefully very cool to watch assuming they expand on it either next episode or in season 3.
the episode was really well adapted, however i really would've liked having the africa trip from the comics fit into the show, important things happen there and that's also when mark gets the call from angstrom
If they completly cut Mark's sexual assault, that would be so cringe. We rarely if at all get a serious exploration of men being raped by women in any media that is not played out as a joke, while comic maybe didn't handle it in the best way, it had it's moments and reflected well on how this topic is perceived in society when Eve doubts wether Mark was willing participant or not when he confesses to her.
12:18 That sounds like a skill issue on Amber's part (im joking. I just think MJ is the best love interest in all of comics. And well, most of the time, she's a civilian)
I don't actually think they will be doing the scene from the comics. They have changed a lot of characters so they have more depth. For example, General Telia (Allens Girlfriend) wasn't originally a General in the comics
I was the same checked out of the amber and mark relationship however this episode did an amazing job of actually saying this is a cute couple I wouldn’t mind rooting for
I hear folks say "super hero fatigue". I just laugh and say, no. Thats not a thing. Its bad Super hero fatigue. I dont think the break in Invincibles season was an accident or a mistake. Notice how many other super hero properties are out just now ? Theres nothing "outshining" it or more realistically, making such an awful stink, it gets drowned out. Invincible is easily one of the best shows in production today. The shows only weaknesses are its horrendous production cycle and having to leave parts of the comics out for folks who are not fans of the genre itself.
15:57 There's no room for that. Also it wouldn't work when Amber's still in her 1st year of knowing her boyfriend is a superhero and the first time she saw him in action was watching him almost get brutally murdered.
I assumed the joke was adapted from the comics upon watching the scene, but also took away that it was somewhat relevant to the gap in episodes and that the placement was just a coincidence.
So effing adorable that mark being a big nerdy fan boy❤ like mark my boy you are literally a Super Hero?? Yet he uses comics bout heroes as escapism???!!!effing adorable
I wasn’t expecting shadow the hedgehog music but im so here for it. Also Anissa is the damn hero we didn’t deserve finally they break up. I would not buy there relationship for a moment after the shit she pulled season 1. They really did a a horrible job trying to get us invested. I could even believe eve and rex if that happened because we see rex change on screen amber just does a 360 for no reason with no explanation.
Hopefully we get to see Spider-Man in the next episode since we're seeing the Angstrom Episode next. And also. Nah Robot for sure is staying the next leader. Because remember. Its a Cecil decision. Not a team decision on the team
I don’t know if I’m in the minority, but I really couldn’t care less about Angstrom Levy. Maybe it’s intentional, but they barely ever show him and I forget he exists, and then I roll my eyes when he’s on screen. I just don’t care.
I saw the joke of them talking about animation as why season 2 took so long. Not the 4 months break, they took in between the first and second half of this season.I'm talking about the whole season.Two as a whole is why they made this joke
Trust me, this won't be the last time they encounter each other....nor will it be the worst. That crater btw is pretty telling on foreshadowing...*hint-hint*😢😢
This episode was hart❤ punching I’m in a long Distance relationship with my Girlfriend we live in different Cities and it doesn’t feel like I’m dating her at all anymore 😔.
i disagree with her personality being downgraded because i really didnt like her character in szn 1 and i didnt understand why mark did, in season 2 i liked her
Anissa is a Viltrumite booty warrior. She basically told Mark. That she likes him, and she wants him. They could do it the easy way, or the hard way. The choice was his. 💀
The sad thing, and the excellent writing here? Mad respect for Anissa at this point in the story. For various reasons a justifiably proud, competent warrior was handed a diplomats job she wasn't properly trained for, had zero aptitude for, but she put the work in for.

If this is where things ended, I would have loved her as a character.
Did we not see her try to decapitate Allen no questions asked as soon as she saw him? She’s just as psychotic as the rest of the viltrumites.
But their mission is to appoint themselves as a protective force to planets
They only destroy civilizations because the civilization will not be around forever and viltrum is apart of the "nothing matters" due to them being so strong and healthy
Even to each other
for the non comic reader do not look up why anissa is hated please do not let curiosity win
too late LOL but it is okay I can handle it! we just got wait and see if they even go that route
It's impossible not to know, the internet literally drops the most obvious hints.
It's too late I already looked it up and I'm glad I did, whenever I see anything resembling that scene in the show I'll just skip completely over it now.

God Praying for Season 3 AND Rex Splode’s Episode Special In 2025!
That was a lot to unpack from that one episode. Can't wait for the Season Finale next week.
Think it's not just a case he's a superhero but the situation Mark is in is way beyond most superheroes.
Their JLA got murdered leaving their planet a lot weaker, Mark's own species are space conquerers so he has an obligation there.
So think if the circumstances weren't as bad as they are their relationship could have survived.

@@memelord6335if only people hated Mystique and Poison Ivy (who have done similar actions to what Anissa has done) just as much as Anissa.
@@memelord6335 I wonder how they do marky though
i think they will do it through implication, maybe she knocks him to the ground and it fades to black only to resume as she says like in the comic "we should have another appointment" or something along those lines and that will be enough
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 wait, what?!
i think it should definitely be shown. throughout the rest of the comics after that scene, his interactions with her are completely tainted and it even plays a large role in causing a rift between mark and eve. i do get that it’s a bit uncomfortable, but considering the violence we’ve already seen in the show i think most should accept that worse is to come.
14:26 if you're wondering whose job is it to kill mark, just wait until after the invincible war
I think my favorite part of Anissa's fighting is how she has a "signature move". She brings them in the air and plants her feet and kicks them down. Very cool.
She's the closest thing to a diplomat the Viltrumites have. The next one they send is going to be a LOT more stick than carrot.

She came lookin' for booty
In the comics she does some…. Funny things… to mark
@@klenstdp1737 She rapes him and later says that she'd do it again. Lets not sugarcoat it.
The first part is true.
And now that Anissa is here it’s just a matter of waiting for the moment she goes all Booty Warrior on Mark, luckily we still have a couple seasons to wait for that
With horror

@@angelrivas4042*Sigh*

They have to add that "Scene" because not only that it is important its a really important about the story
Remember that the show isn't adapting
It's a revamp based off the comic
When Anissa made that crater my heart dropped to my ass. Comic readers will know 💀
Comic readers couldn't keep their mouths shut
6:43 Sarcastic Churus thinks otherwise.
Most people feel that way, lol
the episode was really well adapted, however i really would've liked having the africa trip from the comics fit into the show, important things happen there and that's also when mark gets the call from angstrom

Everyone this week acting like they've been knowing & read the actual comic. 😂😂😂
His worst will come soon
We can do this the easy way or the hard way.
Anissa in the crater with mark got me nervous 😬
At this point, I’m so unsure if they’ll go with that infamous moment, cause I genuinely don’t know how fans of show are gonna process it.
12:18
That sounds like a skill issue on Amber's part (im joking. I just think MJ is the best love interest in all of comics. And well, most of the time, she's a civilian)
I feel William is gonna snap at Mark for ignore all his calls
Have any of you heard about the Recent Problem of Nickelodeon
Also I see Kevin isn’t taking it well with paramount erasing 10 animated projects completely gone from paramount plus
I don't actually think they will be doing the scene from the comics.
They have changed a lot of characters so they have more depth. For example, General Telia (Allens Girlfriend) wasn't originally a General in the comics

Please tell me the next season is not going to take forever like season two
They were already working it on even before s2 aired. so the wait should not be long.... lol...Still... hmm
Ngl, based off of Anissa's characterization so far, I'm beginning to doubt if they'll actually have her [REDACTED].

This will get ugly
Average women: I want to have a baby (❤)

Bruh I had ptsd just from the carter Anissa made when fighting Mark
So far in the entire series it feels like the name "Invincible" is meant ironically. Since he gets beaten a LOT.
It's not it's about his spirit
Yeah me and mark have already had two worst days so I totally understand we me and mark are
Hopefully Anissa’s special scene shows all her goods 😅
If super girl took advantage. Well idk if she could really 🫠😂
This episode in a nutshell is:
People that didn't read the comics: "She's so cool 🤩"
People who read the comics: "You.... 💀"
Ah hell no. Hell no. Hell No. Run shotgun time.
I need to catch up. I’m on season 2 but I think I’m on episode 3
