It's too bloody and self-aware to be a sincere superhero story.But doesn't seem to be a deconstruction, either.What the hell is this thing?
subversion. any time they write a traditional plotline, they go "ok, but now it has cuckoldry and betrayal in it"
>>153077579It's unironically shitty soap opera with supers, nigger music, whateever the fuck progressivism, and gore. All seasoned with millennial writing so epic shitty dialogues where everyone feels like a teenager.That is all, it's glorified capeshit pretending to differ from the referenced DC/marvel slop but it's actually the same. Nothing is entertaining after the first season.
>>153077579Y’all niggas are finally realizing it turns into a usual capeslop story but can have blood and swear lol
Generic superhero story, the only thing that sets it apart is the fact that it ends
>>153077579It’s not self aware
>>153077579It's a superhero story for teenagers. Japan can sell blood and moral ambiguity to kids but soccer moms have too much power in America so action cartoons were always too neutered. Invincible is overcorrecting the course but at its core is adolescent
>>153077765Justice League was made in the early 2000s and Steven Universe didn't shy away from certain topics
>>153077765>It's a superhero story for teenagersFor trannies, it's preachy as shit.
>>153077691>unironically shitty soap opera with supers,But cape comics are soap operas for men, otherwise why even have civilian characters, and not be action all the time like wrestling? So that part of your post is redundant.
>>153077818>Justice League was made in the early 2000s No blood>Steven Universe didn't shy away from certain topicsFor trannies onlyLook, I love cartoons and appreciate what they could get away without pissing the censors but the fact is that America was founded by puritans. That's how anime became popular in the first place
>>153077848No, that's Steven Universe. Invincible is for teen boys>b-but what about debbie and the romantic dramaIt's just Amazon trying to reach every demographic. A typical Hollywood tactic
>>153077579like all superhero things not made for TV, it's what you wish superhero things on TV could have been, but weren't allowed because of momsthis is no-moms-allowed except unfortunately they do have 'childfree' women influencing it, so that's almost as bad.
>>153077852shit, justice league had even less blood than the 90s DCAU shows. they pulled shit BACK despite the later airtime, insane. censorers get the gibbet.also yeah you're right. and now japan is even more censory than ever. america literally goes over there and bullies them into changing things. and for what? doesn't make more money. isn't money what matters? not fakey fake morals?
>>15307785290s Superman series has blood
>>153077579Just 80-90s comic fan writing.Empowered is sort of similar, but I feel Adam Warren on Gen 13 was a better sweet spot since.
>>153077579Kirkman's edgy polemic
>>153078169>kids show in Japan
>>153077579>It's too bloody and self-aware to be a sincere superhero story.It literally ends with the protagonist achieving universal peace.
>>153078128Considering that Invincible has nothing to offer other than blood and gore makes me think that maybe the censorship was a good thing it forced writers to be more creative
>>153077579It's sincere but Rob Kirkman grew up with Youngblood
>>153078227Anon I've watched we both know that at a certain point it becomes crap
>>153078254You're crap but that besides the point. The point is that action cartoons have been censored to hell for decades and Invincible is an overreaction but it's still childish at its core
>>153077579>It's too bloodyFaggot.
>>153078307>You're crap but that besides the pointSant Seya fell off after the first arc cope>Invincible is an overreaction but it's still childish at its coreAgreed in fact I would argue that is even more childish than the previous superhero shows in many aspects
Can Nolan please start wearing shoes again?
Reminder thar Debbie and Mark will be celebrating the moment Nolan sacrifices himself to save them and Paul because according to Invincible you can't change or be better
>>153078502he won't wear shoes again until probably Season 6 at the earliest
>>153078241what an idiotic thing to say.Even my misguided friend who thinks it's all edge doesn't think that's ALL the show has>>153078307so don't blame the reaction, blame the thing it reacted to
>>153078502it is weirdlike if he wants to go naked, awesome. human body is beautiful. and he's got no reason for clothes whatsoever. He doesn't get cold, and he won't be accepted by any society regardless of its norms.but to cover every part of yourself except the feet, and what's more, to have the pants stop mid-calf? that's just so effeminate.
>>153078353Bro it's not even edgy. It's actively trying to cosplay a made up superhero that i would call Vomit man like it's rick and Morty fanfic
>>153077579Every character in the comics is a hammer to bludgeon mark over the head with to feed his id vs ego narrative that he must constantly submit to. Especially Eve, she is victim to this so much she ceases to be a character of her own at all. Its just rinse, cycle, repeat. Mark leaves to save the universe, gets his ass-kicked and narrowly wins, returns and Eve aborted his kid -- he forgives her to show his emotional maturity; Mark leaves to save the universe, gets his ass-kicked and narrowly wins, returns and Eve got fat -- he forgives her to show his emotional maturity; Mark leaves to save the universe, gets his ass-kicked and narrowly wins, returns and Eve cucks him with a black-coded alien -- he forgives her to show his emotional maturity; ad nauseum. She never grows and learns emotional resilience, she never gives him a Penelope moment where he returns from war the triumphant victor, she is never held accountable for her actions. No growth, no arcs, no character. She is just a prop because the plot demands that Mark suffer.Every other character Rex (Robot), Omni-man, Oliver, etc are the same. Bludgeons to beat Mark over the head with emotionally, so he can forgive them and show how "emotionally mature" he is -- read: total spineless push over, with no convictions.The TV show will do the same.
>>153077579Its just edgier Spider-Man with a Superman/Dragonball setting.
Edgy hack writing that is entirely based on forcing drama. Same thing as Injustice. It doesn't have any actual artistic merit or nuance. It's just bright colours and flashing lights for manchildren.
>>153077730>>153077765>>153077874>>153078230>>153081154>says its generic cape slop>but its r rated and has tons of edge and cynical mature themes like rape, psychological dread, death of innocence, and careless omnicide Its like Spiderman and Judge Drees had a Crack baby
>>153077579the viltrumite grim dark sci-fi is a guilty pleasure. I mostly fast forward through the B plotlines to get back to it. it's sort of like dragon ball z with more suspense.
>>153079667>season 6Aren't they going to fight the final boss already? I saw a bunch of videos on youtube calling this the final season
