What the actual fuck was his problem?
He kinda looks like me
Kirkman syndrome. Like all the characters. They are obligated to act retarded and psychotic constantly in order to drive the story for maximum drama because writing something that has any nuance to it would be too difficult.
>>153584601He was born a manlet. You can put a manlet brain in a regular body but he's still got a diminished soul.
>>153584660The funniest joke in all of Invincible is the one around issue 100 where Kirkman's in-universe counterpart vomits up some meta-commentary about how getting to 100 issues means he can do schlock as a treat, as if to suggest he has ever opted out of writing schlock for more than two or three issues at a time.
>>153584601a combination of autism and getting cucked, a terrible combination.
>>153584901Shut up, tripfag
>>153584626My condolences.
>>153584601>haha those traditional heroes are STUPID AND USELESS, only my BADASS AUTHORITARIAN author tract characters can ever get things done!!Robert does this more than once even within Invincible
>>153584982Do you think he was mad that Amanda couldn't get him pregnant
>>153585068The series ends with that shit. Mark is now god of the universe and makes everything perfect forever. Despite being a retarded murderous psycho for much of the series. Because 'no no, THIS Superhitler HELPS people'.
>>153585000Simmer down, half-pint.
>>153584601He choose the weakness of the flesh.
>>153585431>Mark>retarded murderous psychoI'll give you retarded but the few people he kills intentionally are either in self-defense (Conquest, Onaan, Thragg) or just flat out deserve it (Dinosaurus, Robot).
>>153585431Reading Invinsible I sort of get Allan Moore's comment about superheroes being facist.
>>153585489The manner in which he killed that kid was murderous. Explicitly. He says it while telling us about how being a good person is stupid. This is your god?
>>153585505No, no, just when they're written so stupidly. Those kind of blanket statements are just PR for more clicks.
>>153585505Kirkman is the one vaguely fascist and pro-strongman dictator ruling single-handedly, not superheroes
>>153585524Dawg that kid was a murderous superpowered psychopath who was actively trying to kill his 5-year-old daughter. Could he have somehow spared him? Possibly. Did he understandably loose his cool in the moment of just being a protective father? Also probably.
>>153585629>Did he understandably loose his cool in the momentThose aren't word used to excuse murder.
>>153584601Sociopathy, he spells it out multiple times
>>153585665You have the right to kill anybody who tries to harm your family. If its an ongoing attack you have a moral obligation to use maximum lethal force to end the threat as quickly as possible.
>>153585816Nope.
>>153585828Fuck off, cuckfag
>>153584901>He was born a manletactually, the correct word is ''child''. can you spell CHILD? C-H-I-L-D.
I like to think there's an inherent flaw in the Mauler's cloning process that make everyone who uses it eventually turn evil.
>>153585897Unlikely considering Mauler himself eventually turned good in the end
>>153585941>Turned good>After the rape bomb
>>153585738Can sociopaths feel love? He loved Amanda.
>>153584601Why didn't the mauler twins clone invincible, or the immortal and transfer their minds into the new cloned body? Why did it take invincible to show that?
>>153587029They can't transfer, only copy.
>>153585068Which is odd, because you'd think the Dinosaurus arc was a critical examination of the idea of taking ego tripping megalomaniacs with messiah complexes at their word.
>>153587048regardless, alt dimension robot was able to transfer his mind into the Mark clone.
>>153585489So his killcount is 6?Meh, doesn't sound so murderous considering his powers
>>153587084Four, actually. Robot's still alive as a brain in a jar at the end.
so many anons here are just mad becuase he was right and retards hate being wrong
>>153587121Half right.
Kirkman is overrated. Vastly overrated.Especially his zombie comic. It would have been so much better if AMC picked up '68 instead.
>>153584601Paranoid retard who thinks he has to do everything himself. Unironically should have just talked to Mark after the Thragg fight and use the good will he obtained in giving mark that thirty extra seconds on the Sun
>>153587667AMC couldn't have picked up something that started in 2011 for airing in 2010.
>>153587706Hm. Point taken. For all I know, '68 was made because some penny-huffing faggot thought, "GARSH! THAT WARKING DAYUD SHOOR IS PRINTING MUNNY! MOAR ZOMBAYS!"
>>153587703>Paranoid retard who thinks he has to do everything himselfEveryone in the comic is like that.Hell, the only thing mark doesn't micromanage in the end of the comic is his son and earth.His son having rage issues and earth being supervise by a potential tyrant with the help of Rex and cecil(two micromanage asshole).
>>153584601Regardless of what he does later on, you can learn a lot about a person to their reaction to his clone plan in episode 7
>>153587067You'd think Armstrong would also be a character that exists to defy that conceptBut no, ego tripping megalomaniacs with messiah complexes are good when I am in charge!
>>153587794That's fair but Robot is arguably the worst of them. Dude ALWAYS jumps the gun and ops for the nuclear option any time a problem arises like he's playing 4D chess in his head against an opponent who is in reality playing fucking Solitaire
>>153584601>I'm taking my ball and going home>And by my ball I mean all the lives on Earth>And by taking I mean holding captive for the thrill of receiving their fear and worship>And by going home I mean getting shoved into a glass house
>>153584601Autistic pedophile
they go over this in the comicsHe is a mega autist who has no idea how normal people thing and treats the whole world like a paradox game
>>153584601The way I interpret Invincible is mainly as a deconstruction of Superman with some broader DC and Marvel elements included. When it comes to the Superman aspect, it's like this for me:>Omni-Man = Old school Superman who left Krypton when old enough to remember it>Invincible = New School Superman born from the rocket that sent him to earth and only knows earth>Thragg = Zod (duh)>Thaedus = Jor-El but partially reversed (tries to destroy the remnants of his own race but still the good guy)>Oliver = Various iterations of Superboy>Angstrom = Decoy Luthor analogue with elements of Brainiac>Rex/Robot = Seemingly an Iron Man/Steel/Cyborg type of character but is actually Lex LuthorWith that in mind, I think the intention with Rex is that he's meant to be like Lex Luthor if he wasn't just written off as just being evil or wanting to challenge his intellect or being xenophobic of alien or simply being envious of Superman or whatever other reasons people have made to make Lex a clear cut bad guy. The intention, I believe, is that that Rex genuinely wants to do good and put humanity on the best possible path, but the time spent in the other dimension coupled with his deeply analytical mind, has left him with the conclusion that doing what other perceive of as evil is the best way to achieve that. Lex Luthor kind of has to be a rich genius asshole with minimal real justification, whereas Rex does similar things because he's witnessed his own failure to be conventionally good and genuinely believes he needs to be a tyrant to make the world a better place.I'm not saying it was done well, I'm saying that's what I think the intention is.
>>153584901Redditor
>>153588343>AngstromI was skimming through one of those who's who things for supervillains and came across a similarly scientific measurement named character I think Angstrom is based on, but I can never recall who it was.
>>153584660Spbp
>>153588343So, Kirkman's a pseud?
>>153587843This has nothing to do with what we're talking about, redditor.
>>153588408Yeah
>>153588439Armstrong is quite literally an ego tripping megalomaniac with a messiah complex before becoming a villain
kirkman is simply a shitty writer
>>153588471There's no character named Armstrong in Invincible.
>>153588492Yeah whatever anonYes I mispelled the nameWow, you owned me.
>>153588828Dude, nta but proof-reading is a thing
>>153584660>muh capes can't have character flaws
he was a world dictator for 700 years so going back to earth and not being a dictator is a bit jarring
>>153584601I really would have liked it more if robot enjoyed being a monster.
>>153584601He's Nega-Trump. He has literally all the answers, but not a single Iota of charm or charisma to sell them.
>>153585828K enjoy standing by and watching your loved ones get irreparably harmed so you can be proud on your moralfag tower I guess? Retard lol
>>153584601He has Asperger syndrome turned up to a superhuman degree. That's literally everything to it. Saying this as a guy who also has aspergers and a girlfriend I obsess about despite it ending a lifetime ago. Shit if I could split my focus into 50 directions and knew robotics like him, I'd be a super villain too.
>>153584901When a 5’8 man with hate in his heart speaks, we need to listen>t. 6ft Chad
>>153584601You wanna know his problem? The Invincible creator can't write for SHIT
>>153585068This, but unironically.
>>153587084>>153587093I forgot that guy whose head he popped to stop the Sequids, which is honestly just another self-defense kill. So that's five I remember off the top of my head. He might've directly killed a few of Thragg's other kids too.
I think it's really cool how Robot discovered anti-Viltrumite measures faster than Cecil and the COP put together. You can't take that from him.
>>153584601This nigga has THREE names over the course of the series. It's difficult to even refer to him properly when discussing the story
>>153585563Pretty based of him to do that. More writers ought to follow his example.
>>153584601In terms of intent? He's an embodiment of the big "what is a hero" question that runs through all of invincible that's meant to act as a foil to Mark.
>>153584601Built for australian girls.
>>153591633His defeat needed more catharsis, either Mark gives him a savage beat down at the end, or ripping off one of Robot's human limbs during their last exchange before Mark leaves earth.
>>153584601what no bitches does to a mf
>>153595589What ONE bitch does to a mf
>>153595589What learning about your bitch's bitch and their mutt does to a mf.
>>153584660It's not easy to write subtlety in a comic because you need so many damn pages to do so. It takes one panel for a character to scream "i'm angry" and start fighting
>>153584601He should have just made robots that do people's jobs and chores instead of police them
>>153585861No, the correct term is "deformed mcnugget". Do you not know his backstory?
>>153585456Because his own flesh was HORRIBLY weak when he was born...
>>153597022Once again I'm not sure how much Kirkman thought it through but from what I can tell it seems like Dinosaurus under Rudy's acts of good the truth is he doesn't want to just help, he wants the adoration he had no hope of from birth and the older and more experienced he became the larger and more intricate that craving became from observing how those like Cecil, and later reigning over a race directly.
>>153584601Tiny Penis Syndrome.Same as every other schizoid cult leader type.
>>153588408Everyone is a pseud
>>153584601>Gets pussy once>Goes insane
>>153597419Namco REALLY should have hired Americans for the mo-cap on the cinemas for tekken 1 so the characters would be acting like HUMAN BEINGS instead of homosexual aliens.
>>153597521This term gets thrown around a lot, but it actually added charm back then. The characters felt cool because of how confidently they carried themselves, but at the same time the comedic moments, intended or not, were palatable instead of obnoxious.
>>153597521what
>>153584601when he became a ginger he lost his soul
>>153584626Rex, I thought you were dead.
>>153597419its been so long since ive seen this gif in "public"
>>153584601autism
>>153584601>What the actual fuck was his problem?a brutal combination of cuckoldry and autism
>>153585505Did you read his Miracleman?
>>153597635Looks like Paul's thinking of fucking Law. His physical mannerism in that clip maybe what Japanese think of when they think cocky, but it just looks like gay lust to a westerner.
>>153587093Yeah, the point with Dinosaurus and Robot is that they have good ideas, but they cannot stop themselves from implementing them in ways that cause mass destruction. Mark thought he could be Dinosaurus' safeguard, but had to put him down when it was clear Dino would never change. And he learned from that when he ripped Rex's brain from his body to seal it in a jar. Robot's good ideas can be entrusted to the GDA, filtered through the Immortal, but he can never act of his own will ever again, so there's no possibility of him ever harming anyone else too. And that's ultimately what Robot wanted too.
>>153599401Note to self...avoid Super Ningen Red form...
>>153588408Yes. He's also a hack
>>153584601Autism and getting cucked
>>153584601The type of faggot that dates women with penises. No concept of right or wrong. Kirkman knew this.
>>153601659and getting cucked
>>153584601>What the actual fuck was his problem? He can't find a good barber
>>153584601He got cucked in an alternate dimension by an alien bitch and he couldn’t handle it
>>153605056It's arguably worse. He got cucked on several levels>Monster Girl fucked up his plans in dealing with the royal familly>She ran off, reempowered the despots he deposed, cucked him with on of their princesses the crawled back to him when she realized they really were evil>Her bastard son comes back to destroy the EarthMan fuck Monster Girl
>>153605907cucking him was ok because she did it as a male. different thing.
>>153606029What about the whole>Destroying his life's work liberating a people because he was mean to a despotic royal famillypart
>>153606109They dont care anon. The lesbian sex change impregnation bit flips their skirt. So they are going to let it slide.Monster girl is going to become the most hated character amongst normies when this comes out.
>>153587667If anything, he's overHATED.
>>153585505Allen Moore isn't right or someone to take at face value about superheroes. There is a reason why the vast majority people like Rorsch despite his many flaws and view him as a hero and Moore seethes about it.
>>153584912>as if to suggest he has ever opted out of writing schlock for more than two or three issues at a time.
>>153605907>>153605056>>153606029I don't like rudy/robot but it's hard not to sympathize with a man after all the bullshit Monster girl put him through. Wish he got over her, and just dated some superevil-genius thraxan or something.
>>153584601Once he realized that, apparently, the ends justify the means(Mark (accidentally) helping Dinosaurus kill millions and basically getting a slap on the wrist for it). He thought, "Fuck it", might as well go full Genghis.
>>153608206Unlike Mark and Eve Kirkman actually managed to make sense of Rudy's obsession, he spent centuries with her as the only human he was close with.Funny enough it's so efficient an explanation for affection to occur, even if forced by circumstance, that it makes his prior intention of taking a Rex clone body after seeing her attraction to him dilute their relation. If it was just wanting to get laid by his horny team mates he could have gone with whoever was considered the hottest man and pulled all kinds of quick romps. I know metawise it's to allude to Lex but it's still baffling.Anyway, on Amanda's side it also sort of works how she was able to move on. It's sort of an unfortunate element of her character but it's shown she was already loose to begin with, and when she became cursed she likely built up the acceptance of not being in a long term relation and lastly obviously her feeling like she was alone anyway whenever Robot was busy being Thraxan built her up to seeing them as broken up anyway even if he didn't intend that.
>>153584601His girlfriend cheated on him and fathered a bastard son.
>>153584601Monster girl is a whore, sitting in a cuck chair for 700 years will do that to a motherfucker.
>>153584601He's a gamer who lives in a society.
>>153584601He definitely had the best reason to go full retard
>>153610253Single mistake?That disgusting skank betrayed him then fucked the very enemy he spent centuries fighting and knocked her up.Her fucking mistake is locked in their prison after it lead a war against their dimension.His only mistake was not leaving that bitch in that dimension with the scum she loved so much.
>>153610253>One mistakeLmao she acted she wasted 10K on poker and not that she ruined his life's work, reinstalled a royal dictatorship and helped force countless people back into slavery AND fucked and impregnated one of his enemies
>>153610253>>153610293>>153610304Man the shitstorm when this entire arc gets animated will be insane.
>>153585431>>153585563If its logically possible for a dictator to be a good person who loves his people and is competent than a dictator who lives nearly forever is great.
>>153610293>Why did my girlfriend betray me when I went fucking crazy and was going full despot. >I deserve her loyalty after I went so beyond the pale I had to be thrown into prison. >How could she do this to me? The loveable autist.
>>153610378How many changes you think its gonna get?
>>153610415They will probably make Rudy much more of an incel which will be taken very poorly because they been making him very likeable, atleast to me their relationship in the show so far was a lot cuter and flesh out imo, they will probably say he was too tyrannical and make monster girl relationship with the alien much more flesh out, also it will have a lot more imperialism le bad communism good tones considering that's part of the plot line when rudy becomes king.Basically they will turn rudy into the ultimate gentleman.
>>153610398She a guud backstabbing double digit IQ skank.She dindu nuffin!
>>153610253>ONE SINGLE MISTAKEi think undo'ing decades of work and getting rizzed up/literally fucking one of his worst enemies cant merely be "one single mistake"
>>153610451So they will shit on him to try, and fail, to make that bullshit more palatable?Anon, the seething from men and open disgust from normie females is going to be unbekievable.I litterally cant wait for the youtube grifters to shit on it.
>>153610398>Objectively improves the life of all the aliens only a handful of nationalist autists aliens wanted to go back to the old ways>Resisting them means rudy was a hecking tyrant >Monster girl for literally no reason has a child with one of them >Wasn't even because rudy was insane it was because he wasn't paying monster girl enough attention because he was dealing with the revolution >This was somehow all Rudy's fault.
>>153610527She also helped those genocidal slavers to overthrow the new prosperous government!Shame on him.
