>>153670511Kirkman really has no idea how anything works, does he? Whatever he wants things to result in or even happen just does.
Kirkman endlessly sucking Rudy's dick is so lame, hell even people calling him Rex is just them glossing over him stealing a dead friend's face and name.
>>153670527oh my godhow many fucking times is plot armor and plot contrivance going to stop Tiger from just blowing his goddamn brains out>>153670543They would've folded immediately to Nolan and Thragg, what the fuck.

What was the point of having them escape just to immediatly bend the knee?To make the heroes seem even more hamfistedly cucked than they were before when he was effortlessly slaughtering them out of nowhere and they could barely even defeat individual throwaway droids.
>>153670561seriouslywhy isn't tiger killing him right now?oh right, the plot needs to happen
>>153670427It's a wonder Immortal has survived this long (as in not just during the series, but all the way from pre-history) when he can't heal from dismemberment, and needs someone else to piece him back together every time.
>>153670602Before Nolan, he was the strongest being on the planet.
>>153670602Nothing about Immortal's powers makes sense, why is he randomly a flying brick? What does that have to do with his curse? Kirkman is just a shit.
>>153670623>>153670630Allen, at this point, I'm convinced you just want to kill Mark, Oliver, and the kid just to get rid of some more Viltrumites
>>153670535this could have really benefited from an issue exploring the side of civilians experiencing this, instead of this just being told to Mark/Eve/Us by other characters.
>>153670616Isn't battle beast's lust for violence and being ridiculously stronger than almost everyone also due to some sort of blood curse? Which is why it passes onto his daughter.Why can random curses so often bestow people with incredible physical powers in this setting but we never see people using powerful magic directly?
>>153670637that's essentially what thaedus commanded him to do, yes.
>>153670633>My bitch girlfriend who actively hates children will be thrilled
>>153670638That would require the brains to actually think about bringing crime, unemployment, and conflict as a whole down.>>153670645You kind of do in the spin-offs, but it's not some instant win button anyone can press. Which is good because that shit always took away things during crossover events.
>>153670572>Man, is that poor baby going to be in danger every issue? Maybe. Shut up.I hate this self-indulgent passive aggressive mentality so much, all it needs is mediocre meta humor and you get the average Skottie Young issue.
>>153670604>Yeah, I'm so worried...Dang, I am now hearing it in his cartoon voice. Especially with the expression he is pulling, there.
>>153670676Oh wow, racist.
>>153670686Here it comes...
>>153670686>>153670701Oh no...No, no, no, no.......NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
>>153670511>Everyone's wondering what happened, who did this, how did this happen?>previously shown that Robot drone squads are now permanently present at all hospitals, academies, and government offices, executing reformed working class citizens in broad daylight on the streets, etc.Rex is not exactly hiding himself as much as he says he is.

>>153670808eve is retarded, yeswe've long since established thatshould've been plain as day after she killed their kid for nothing
>>153670760So... how did Space Racer even escape here?>>153670780No, he reappears in the epilogue splash page with the NuViltrumites fighting the Coalitions array of heroes in space like a hundred years later, still alive.

>>153670894Oliver never learns his fucking lesson >>153670907distractions for Mark and Oliver, I guess.

>>153670930>I need a way to skip to the part where these bug children are a threat.
>>153670930think a combo of1. this was his place for screeds against the comic industry and he wanted to mock all the "nothing matters and everything can get reset" behavior2. he knew it was almost time to finish the series and he needed a timeskip to make things work3. seeing Mark suffer is fun for him

>>153671012>mocking a thing by doing the exact same thingSo this has been a trend longer than the past ten years
>>153670978You know, an interesting thing the cartoon could do with this part? When they reboot, all the race and gender swap are reverted back to what they were in the comic, for the extra fuck-you.
>>153670978I dread that when the show adapts this arc (because they are going to), it's not going to look anywhere as polished as Season 1 did.
>>153670978what do you guys think of the Twitter suggestion of Nolan being the one who gets rebooted instead in the show universe?
>>153671062>take that unsatisfied comic fans!https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5GaE1SkeXOM

>>153671101>nolan is going to sacrifice a perfect world for his retarded bug child
>>153670978I would really like to know what the reader reaction to this was when it happened.
>>153671160About the same as our current one honestly
>>153670978>>153671160The point of this arc was to convey how awful reboots are. It worked a little too well.
>>153670598That's not really how it works since Thragg already has more months of a lead. Just having double the breeding farm wouldn't mean the same quality.
>>153671180Like I said>>153671029>>153671178How the hell did he not figure it out before now?
>>153671190>>153671029>>mocking a thing by doing the exact same thingThat's the thing, though, the reboot come undone at the end, so he was not doing an actual reboot.
End of issue #124Issues #125-128 tomorrow
>>153671211Yet he still fucking did it, anon
>>153671190>How the hell did he not figure it out before now?Mark isn't the only super-powered hero around. Black Samson and Immortal have rather similar powers themselves.
>No bro you just don’t get it robbing Mark of the first five years of his daughter’s childhood and borderline cucking him is absolutely vital for the time skip to happen because uhhhhh fuck DC and reboots or something???? lol lmaoWhat a putrid piece of shit idea.
>>153671239This is something that's as easy as finding out Mark doesn't work his part-time job anymore but is still going out.
>>153671221>Yet he still fucking did itNo, he actually didn't, seeing an actual reboot doesn't usually get cancelled.That's why this argument there >>153671029doesn't hold.
>>153670602He apparently can. Mark in the time travel arc said to keep Immortal's parts separated or else they will come back together.
>>153671247This is the equivalent of an apolitical show having an episode devoted to shitting on Trump>>153671262Shut the fuck up. Get his dick out of your mouth. And fuck off
>>153671252we don't know if he quit. He could easily said he find a different job and the teens&Robot covered for him.
>>153671262>No, he actually didn't, seeing an actual reboot doesn't usually get cancelled.Reboots get retconned all the time, what the fuck are you talking about? Look at the New 52. Rebirth for fuck's sake.
>>153671274>Shut the fuck up. Get his dick out of your mouth. And fuck offThe point stnad, this is a valid way to mock/critic the concept of reboot and because it comes undone, he is not actually doing the same thing.>an apolitical show having an episode devoted to shitting on TrumpThere is nothing wrong with that.
>>153671296i can now post this in earnest and without disruption
>>153670907>What's the point of all these cannonfodder when they are literally no use vs ThraggTo kill the infants and civilians while Thragg is occupied, of course. Mark and Oliver would never.
>>153671289>Reboots get retconned all the timeMost of the time they usually hold. And when they get undone, it's not actually planed.>>153671301No, not really. It's still a valid critic of reboot.
>>153671289I forgot those reboots even happened so close together. Goddamn.
>>153671220Wouldn’t it be here that mark should tell his father that he’s the true leader of the viltrumites by birthright?

>>153670680Wanted to post this but needed to wait until the storytime concluded.
>>153671352This always looked like putrid dogshit to me and I have no idea why that one autistic faggot wants it animated so much
>>153671133>>153671143I dread how the show will increase the angst in this and the whole timeskip.

Nothing interesting happened for too long so it had to happen. Unfortunately people don't buy every issue all at once you need to make people pick up your comic every month/week. There is no government program that pays your bills so you can draw freely. At the end of the day it's a business and you need to get normies to pick up copys shrimple as.
>>153671767imagine if comic writers could write to maintain interest instead of relying on cheap writing tactics
>>153671767shut the fuck up makimasissy.
>>153671767Plenty of interesting things happened including this traipse down a corridor of Earths so mindfloggingly similar that your afterimages superimpose. But please go on about how hedonistic excess while fighting alien dna like you're Cable is the better choice and I'll recount for you my mental breakdown that turned every post you had yet to make into above nightmare level doom at the slightest loss of sleep for months. You're not agent deepthroat and you don't like CFFU so you're almost not really a person. You do know what the boots are for don't you? Your attraction is noted, please reblog my responses later. Hey how's tricks Migrainymous?
>>153671798not everyone finds the same things interesting. Imagin picking up a copy of super punch fight man and all that happens in the comic is he takes care of his baby for like 3 issues. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a big fall off in sales.
>>153671903>some people enjoy a nice piece of dogshit to gourmet flaming yon
>>153671903I'll send you a fertilizer bomb for your birthday.I already DID try again Pandemonica that's why you're getting uncontrollable muscle spasms. I sincerely wished death upon your species.
>>153671089Kinda sad this is what 1st comes to Robot's mind as a test.
>>153671331It would be but at that point who the fuck cares? There's been SO MANY moments where a situation could have been resolved by adding a SENTENCE. This arc HORRIBLY undermines the impact of Nolan's reveal and all previous events by making Mark relive them. Then the jellyfish creature says>my motives are too complex for you to comprehendand is never seen again. This writing is DOGSHIT.
>>153671956im not sure how it even works to convince mark? How does this statement make it so this cant all be fake or an illusion?
>>153671959its dog shit but people are talking about it and buying copies thats all that matters. "WOAAH, THEY ARE REBOOTING INVINCIBLE BUT MARK KEEPS ALL HIS MEMORIES??? HOW IS HE GOING TO HANDLE HIS DAD????"
>>153670996The Reboot Arc is a perfect example of how Kirkman is a bad writer and a terrible satirist.It's primarily taking the piss at DC but also hating on OMD, but it's flawed on the essential premises.1) No Reboot ever went back 1:1 to the start.MoS Supes isn't Pre-Crisis Supes. Even Post-IC and current Supes aren't the same as Pre-Crisis even if they rip it off a lot.2) Reboot happen because of Cosmic-level players being involved.Thanos, Mephisto, Anti-Monitor, PRIME TIME, Darkseid, P*rpetua. Mark falls down a hole and gets molested by guilt-tripping glowing gnoodles.3) Mark doesn't grow at all from this.It's all an excuse to skip the baby stuff, have Eve slut around, and fast-forward Robot and Thragg's plots.
>>153671995Because Mark never knew Robot was afraid of himself if he ever snapped, and that fear of snapping serves as hindsight for what just happened with Rex's takeover (even if we aren't sure the OG would behave the same as the clone).
>>153670760He's dead.
>>153670427Judas Nigga deserved all of it
I'm gonna say it.I don't mind the idea of the Reboot arc. It's an interesting idea, seeing Mark who has lived through so much shit actually making the world a better place before having to make a decision whether or not to live with it. There are multiple interesting turning points in the story that could be explored like that. Unfortunately for everybody, Kirkman is a hack and writes it as intentionally boring and uninteresting as possible just so he can speed through it, arbitrarily cut it off, and use it as a shitty timeskip.
>>153672409it was never going to be anything else, dude
>>153672409It’s less about the arc and more about the consequences of it being unjust. Every time Mark vanishes for a while or makes a huge mistake, it’s usually because of something he did.Here he’s punished for absolutely no good reason
>>153670816>>153670836>OH NOOOOOOOO! I have god-like powers and can't keep myself or daughter entertained!!!Worst Matter Manipulator in fiction ever
>>153670511so are they washing their uniforms they've been wearing since they were imprisoned or is that room just dank af rn
>>153670511>The world is a better placeNIGGA. SAYS WHO????THEY KEEP JACKING OFF HOW MUCH BETTER ROBOT'S MADE THE WORLD, BUT ALL WE EVER SEE HIM DO IS KILL PEOPLE AND BEAT UP VILLAINS.
>>153672491I can't argue that, but that just ties back to Kirkman being a hack.>>153672518I agree. The arc would've been absolutely better if Mark always had a way back but actively engaged with the idea of doing more good before pussying out because he misses Eve and their kid and this version of Eve tells him to fuck off since what brought them together didn't happen. Then it's a punishment for neither leaving immediately or committing to it. Still undeserved to a degree and definitely needed to be set up more than not at all, but it's something.
>>153672868Robot made the world better chud, deal with it.
>>153671079A miscarriage would have been better narratively and less retarded. But there's no way they can make that change. Why? Because it would anger a lot of people, particularly women, Eve whiteknights and prochoicefags. The reason is because by changing it to a miscarriage, it is basically an admission that the original idea was retarded. And by admitting that, it's also admitting that it was a mistake and wrong, which by extension with the leaps in logic these mentally ill freaks always make, changing it from an abortion to miscarriage is like an admission that what Eve did was wrong, and everyone knows women can't be wrong, because if they were wrong in this situation, then the "choice" part of pro-choice could be a mistake, and if there's a chance that choosing to abort is a mistake then it makes it seem like abortion can be wrong, and so on. By changing it to a miscarriage, something out of her control, it's like taking away her "choice", and to these people, it would be better if Eve was in power when she killed Mark's baby.I apologize if this sounds like schizo rambling, it most definitely is, I actually don't even tend to fixate on that stupid part of this already retarded story, despite that I have considered the repercussions if this change was made.TLDR: Changing abortion to miscarriage is admitting the abortion was wrong and taking away Eve's choice (as well as making it seem more like her fault than Mark's, which it always was but the story made Mark apologize to shift the blame).Thanks for reading my blog.
>>153672939Women don't read comics and no man genuinely supports women: they're just pretending to in order to get laid.
>>153672939on the contrary, i understood what you were saying well enoughand them choosing to stick with the horrible writing of the original comic while making horrible writing changes told me all i need about how the show is going to go
>>153672882i have something even betternot doing this at all
>>153672953>Women don't read comicsThey don't, but as everyone knows, they will pretend to so they can be a tourist for fanbase and be part of geek culture (especially in this day and age where tourismfaggotry is at an all-time high with people not even playing video games trying to be fans of video game series). A controversial plot point like that is sure to show up in the TikTok recaps they watch for them to defend to the death cuz gurl powah.>no man genuinely supports women: they're just pretending to in order to get laid.Yeah I already mentioned whiteknights in my post.
>>153670966Actual what the fuck would this type of entity being doing on such a planet
I actually like the Reboot arc (except for how it got resolved) since it's a nice little nostalgia trip to when the comic wasn't as fucking retarded and when it still had a very comfy casual atmosphere.
>>153673126don't think aboutkirkman certainly didn't
>>153671056Honestly this comic is more about Robot than anyone else.
>>153672939Nah, all clear. It's obvious whiteknights would REEEEEEE all over the place if you ever imply abortion is bad.
>>153670408Kate never uses weapons or any kind of actual strategy aside from swarming the enemy. What a dumb bitch
>>153670465Yeah Cecil didn't have shit under control
>>153670472Why does everyone go commando under their suits? It's weird
>>153670511Oh yeah, Robot science'd the economy
>>153670543This is how I felt reading Civil War, the Anti-Reg's are obviously the good guys but all they're doing by resisting is just making the conflict go on.
>>153673133>since it's a nice little nostalgia trip to when the comic wasn't as fucking retardedProblem is since it's meant to address the flaws of reboots that's antithetical, because the draw of many a reboots is returning to familiar first introductions, simpler times, mild twists in development.Illustrating why it's such a welcome gimmick to remind readers why they began and draw in new ones is highlighting to others yet to try it why they should, not warding them, especially since we didn't really see any example how Kirkman/Mark sticking to moving forward was better off.

>>153670668What a great monarch Thragg is. Why do we hate him again?
>>153673545He thinks his race of immortal unstoppable beings that can 1v1 the entire universe with just 50 of them left is the superior race.
>>153670715Send this thing to fight Thragg
>>153670732I don't know, I feel like this is a crime. Report it to Allen and that creature will get a write up.
>>153670808Stop being mad at Eve for being rightfully concerned that her husband keeps ditching her.
>>153673648you're really acting like saving the universe is going out for milk and cigarettes
>>153670883>>153670894>>153670905What is this, the Clone Wars?
>>153671006I can't believe his suit was blue this whole time
>>153671039Rex :)
>>153672939Agreed. And deadass there being a first kid adds nothing. Eve being fat has more narrative mileage than her deciding to have an abortion.
>>153671056Kate was so hot back then
>>153671079Jesus Christ, will you shut the fuck up about that? Abortion hasn't been controversial since 2008
>>153673862Every thread with this shit, don't you guys get tired of being offended?
>>153673883Do you?
>>153670907Why is Robot the only guy who uses Robots in this literal entire universe? The Viltrum Empire depended on slaves who hate them to run 99% of its empire with only 50 viltrumites to run the show, wouldn't relying on waves of droids as their soldiers and guards and shit be way smarter and within their capabilities?
>>153673954He remotely controls them. They don't run off some AI.
>>153673907Great comeback faggot, I'm sure you'll all the Twitter updoots
>>153673994Not an argument
I’ve asked this twice but wouldn’t Eve had killed her first child with her powers since she wasn’t aware of it
>>153674100yeswe've established already how contrived this entire scenario is
>>153671089Why did mark brush it off instead of going>So yeah, you go into an alternate dimension and go batshit crazy from ruling for 1000 years, then take over earth, do NOT go into an alternate dimension
>>153673977That's still a wide step above everybody else. Drone combat is commonplace today, so why is the C.O.P still sending soldiers in armor to risk dying against enemies they know they can't actually hurt?
>>153670543>>153670561>kills all their friends brutally>targets their children>locks them away "Please come back, I know I was a jerk but... im sowwy">they all forgive and immediately start working for himWhy are invincible's heroes such passes? Literally no spine.
>>153674363cuckman needs the plot to go on
>>153674363Kirkman's a hack who hates superheroes
>>153670424What kind of bomb did they put in Immortal?
>>153674363Can't argue with the results. Rex saved the world.
>>153670472I came into the storytimelate, what has he done that's so bad? Hit on Mark's wife?
>>153670543>We can't argue that the literal Cyber Gestapo isn't making things better
>>153674660He betrayed the superheroes.The same superheroes that would turn back to Robot anyway because they now proved something to him?
>>153674660He killed his own dad and later snitched to Rex about the location of Brit's team.
>>153674660killed his parents and covered it up
>>153670543couldn't Robot accept eternal imprisonment or a death sentence in penance of his crimes and just have his robots and some kind of exported copy of his mind in AI keep things going? That way everyone is happy.
>>153670808>>153670818You fucking dipshits, she's saying she's not mad at Mark for going after Thragg.
>>153674718He accepted the 1st. And still won.
>>153670869>>153670873>>153670883Wow Mark really loves Terra and Terra loves him. He and Eve are in a good place too. I can't wait to see what happens next!
>>153670598kek based emotionless lizard logic
>>153672953>>153673026Hopefully you'll mature one day, and not be little edgelord shits blaming everyone but themselves for their shitty lives.
>>153670630>>153670633>Space has Magpie SeasonGOOD LORD
Robot really fucking breaks mind breaks Immortal huh
I genuinely think this show is gonna have a fall off on par with the boys after all this gets adapted and we'll never see a non DC or Marvel comic get an adaptation again.
>>153670709kek he says his name like a Pokemon
>>153674850thank god
>>153670808so this is the level of intelligence I'm supposed to share a board with...
>>153674283Because then Rudy would end up thinking that means he should rule and that it wasn't a mistake.
>>153670846so that kid eats in the same spot everyday?
>>153671674>W.Well leftist! Cuck!Pathetic. Are you able to survive one day without bitching and crying about something?
>>153674930it took you three hours and that's the best you could give?
>>153674945Not the same person you whiny bitch. But you can't comprehend other people are tired of the constant crying you types do.
>>153670907they take up a few percent of his attention and time, anything is good to gain a bit of upper hand. But yeah mostly useless, I wonder how they motivate the fodder to go off and die.
>>153670894jej why is Oliver such a retard?
>>153671124Are you sure?
>>153674988have another (You) buddy
>>153675004I accept your concession
>>153671331No, it wouldn't matter at this point. He can't tell Nolan that until he's fully ready to betray the Viltrumite way of thinking. And even then it wouldn't matter until others are ready to betray Thragg.
>>153674988All those responses are to you and your types bitching. This is a really dumb attempt at a gotcha.
>>153670972and someone said last thread that Mark was smart lmao
>>153675017>All those responses are to you and your types bitching.........
>>153675005I accept your addiction. Come home son, your mother misses you.
>same aggressive tone>same sentence structure>same word choice
>>153674988>no screencap responseYeah. It's the same guy. Too much work to put into inspect element editing.
>>153675022he's just slow on the uptakeyou're telling me you wouldn't take the tendril of a glowing celestial alien you have no fucking idea about?
>>153675102well yeah, there's no upside to it and I'd be focused on Thragg anyways.Now if that glowing alien had boobs...that's another story.
>>153675116Zack...
>>153674363Like a lot of 90s and 00s writers Kirkman imagines he's penning novel, daring scenarios when really his writing just pans out to be forced, time wasting and predictable in other ways since even they don't know what point they're trying to make, they're just looking at a road map and taking a left everywhere they're told to go right.See Dark Reign and other The Baddies Won! tripe from Bendis and Millar and the rest.After it goes nowhere sycophants just brush it off as scenic detours or choosing the path less taken or any of the ironically cliche phrases subversives cling to instead of just looking at it for what it is.T R A S H.A more vivid example is the Last Jedi. Johnson went on about writing a convention defying, genre breaking entry when in execution it just turns into a meaningless slog of events before the important, more standard stuff happens anyway.There's a reason the stock stories have existed as long as they have, they work and have a point. It would be much more intriguing if instead of seeing the cast contort basic sense to rail road the plot for the antagonist and writer they were just killed off with the rest, most of these mouthpieces stop appearing or mattering eventually anyway. But without them Kirkman and Ottley wouldn't get to do melodramatic speeches and reaction panels.Before Mark just punches the problem anyway.
>>153675149pay off with no build upthings just happen
>>153675149Reminds me of how I Hate Fairyland loves to overuse anticlimaxes,
>>153670598FuckWars sounds like a hilarious porn concept
>>153670966So they couldn’t find Mark at all on this one planet for years?
>>153675485I think both Mark and the ayy lmao are in an alt dimension as this happens
>>153675485I guess he was taken off even more underground or something? Oliver should have known his exact location since just before the call was interrupted he was talking to the locals about how they should not visit that cave.
>>153670598Or you can just like clone them, making a bunch of pre programed flash clones that rapidly age
>>153670760why didn't Allan just get Space Racer to wait for the conclusion of Thragg vs BB just so if Thragg won Space Racer could shoot the weakened Thragg dead?
>>153671220ty OP, see you tomorrow
>>153674825Honestly who HASN'T mind broke immortal.
>>153673306>bring weapon>duplicate yourself>now 20 people have to share a weaponnot that much of a change
>>153670465No, he didn't, you speedreading shit stirrer. These are bog standard reanimen. Cecil wanted the alternate Marks converted into reanimites specifically to have hard hitters that these weren't.
>>153670590Best Tiger knows that if even his butthole clinches, Rudy would teleport away. Best Tiger knows to bide his time.
>>153670630I really do like the use of the cover to set this up
>>153673545Because the best he can do is build an empire of constant murder and enslavement that instantly loses centuries of its culture if its people get a single crumb of positive affirmation and pussy
>>153670404This particular issue of Invincible is the only back issue I can still find in the bins at my LCS after the show came out.
I've never heard anyone kick around the idea that the entity is some kind of parasite feeding off his memories and regretd like the Black Mercy
>>153672868the homo already told us what he did, anymore than that wold be pointless. like a child with no spacial awareness you need to reaffirm the proof even though we already had it. moron
>>153670412>Bulletproof trying to tell the man who's been alive potentially longer than Omni-Man what is rightkek
>>153676120It could be a reference to that, but instead of just creating a more palatable hallucination to placate him it throws an actual tantrum about him declining to fix the timeline, and threatens that he'll regret it.
>>153670543rex translated from latin to english means king AND THAT WHAT HE IS. hes capable of killing your loved ones like a psychopath and youd still forgive him. MY LIEGE. MY KING. I. KNEEEEEL
>>153670427Is Abe stronger then bulletproof?
>>153670602Maybe it just takes longer
>>153670463cant outrun just take most of these guys to safety?
>>153670469How is this going o work in the show with the voice they gave rex?
>>153671197>genuinely sad that Mark would ask him that
>>153670598all they need to do is get Mark to jizz in a cup one time and that will be enough
>>153677787Yeah but what would eve think
>>153677646Imagining Rex's voice with Robot-Dex's dialogue is funny.
>>153677847Fuck eve, this is war.
>>153670598>An army of superpowered kids you have to feed and make sure stay loyalThere's a REASON Vegeta shot this idea down when they thought of it in Dragon Ball.
>>153671149Shotaro
>>153671211isn't the show basically a reboot
>>153670760The face that would have killed Trillions across the galaxy. Space Racer is cool but it's nonetheless a fitting ending for him here.
>>153675621Why didn't he go himself? Whey didn't he use the virus on the planet since everyone other then thragg was a bug? Why only send Battle beast instead of the army as well? Why not a million billion things?
>>153675823Bring 20 weapons then. Also, who the fuck would agree to just die? Her clones are real people they are just all ok getting squashed so some other clone can live?
>>153680014>bring 20 weapons thenThat already starts to introduce a lot of logistical issues. You'd just be carrying around a giant sack of weapons everywhere with you, which would then likely still be lost shortly into a battle (into enemy hands) as she's otherwise just a normal person, and now the next set of clones has to work with hand to hand again anyways. It's far more reliable for her to just work on optimally swarming people.>they are just all ok getting squashed?All the Kates are linked, so even though they can act independently, they're also all still one person. It's simple hivemind shenanigans. They're not real people, they're just semi-autonomous extensions.
>>153670686thats a lotta moons
>>153678485yesand it's shittier than the original
Ngl, these last few issues were pretty bad. Is it going to get better again?
>>153681309...Define better.
>>153670645If a magic curse is immortality and superpowers with zero downsides what the fuck would a magical blessing look like??
>>153681529the downside was battle beast is going insane and would've destroyed his own planet had he stayed
>>153681309Yes, Ursaal is coming
>>153681614>cunny gooner bait
>>153681619Ursaal is objectively the only good thing about this comic moving forward
>>153675659John Wilkes Booth didn't quite do the job
>>153670584didn't they gives him a lot of shit after taking over or am I remembering that wrong?
>>153681619God I wish, she's pretty much fully grown when she shows up.
>>153681837He caught flak initially but since he locked in on the Viltrum threat they were fine
>>153682004she's still purple
>>153670404>>153663991Thraxans serve three purposes. The first is to give a frame of reference for Nolan’s relationship to humanity. A human life is about as equivalent to a viltrumite as an ant to a humans. You’d have no real moral crisis over killing an ant. Nor would a viltrumite a human. So could Nolan love an ant? Yes he could. The second is to give thragg a power up and escalate the final arc. The third is to explore thragg, thragg cannot learn to care for the Thraxxans as Nolan did, he is incapable.
>>153682079Not even for long
>>153673306can kate also duplicate weapons or anything besides her clothes?If not than theres your answer
>>153672291>JudasAm i misremebering stuffI thought he got his powers from some meteor as a caveman i read the comics a few years ago when the show came out in a month so maybe im misrembering some details
>>153670853Mark really is too good for Eve
>>153677646It's going to sounds exactly like Derek from the Good Place.
>>153682609Immortal did, Bulletproof got his powers from his brother experimenting on him
>>153680178"Hey Rex, can you make me a weapon that duplicates when I duplicate please or can i get a reverse version of the teleport dart we used years ago that summons weapons to me and maybe some armour too so I don't die quite so easily given i'm just a regular person"
>>153682633What is your guys obsession with hating on Eve? It's not like there's a better option out there desu
>>153671039Rex our fucking hero.>>153671220>primes his dad by making him think on his love for his Earth familySmart.
>>153682831Angstrom is dead, he needs a new target.
>>153682831It's unironically probably like two guys playing a "bit". Storytimes across the site always have some of those posters sometimes they're cool more often then not they're fucking annoying
>>153682831>>153683344stop
>>153683351Make me faggot
>>153674614The devil is in the details. How did he save the world, remove crime and boom the economy? Is it sustainable? Will those who don't get to enjoy this just be cratered or imprisoned forever? What happens when we run into various resource scarcity problems? Famines? Will the dictator metal arm on the top just smash whatever doesn't make numbers go up?The factually good person will not hesitate to massacre 1.000.000 people if it saves 10.000.000 but it sure sucks being part of the million.
>>153683394he just did, okay
>>153682082>A human life is about as equivalent to a viltrumite as an ant to a humansthis is retarded though because ants have basically no sentience on an individual level. humans and viltrumites have essentially equal mental faculties.
>>153683420now imagine those ants as redditors
>>153674363> Why are invincible's heroes such passes? Literally no spine.It's hilarious that the comic explicitly states what the stakes are and the readers stubbornly ignore it at every turn. It's a very simple logic. Rex kills at most 10,000 people. In exchange, "crime" disappears, world hunger disappears, corruption disappears, etc. Better yet, those things stay gone for good.You can say "that's literally impossible" but now you're departing from the framing of the work and are no longer engaging in good faith. You have to prove the wrongness within the premise. Actually it's even worse since you're unable to engage with the question and you have to make this a question of personal feelings and cowardice, which it isn't.>>153670575>>153674699Same thing. So what if they get betrayed. There are more important things than the personal feelings of the superheroes. How bizarre.>>153674697Actually it is explicitly stated that several things in the world (you know, the other 7.999999 billion people that exist outside of the superheroes' inner circle) are far better than they were before. Implicitly this is why there are no large-scale protests except among superheroes and government workers who are now out of a job. Kirkman is a liberal so he thinks in terms of "authoritarianism" except he struggles with dismissing it with the typical moralizing logic. I'm not familiar with his ideology, it's really funny.>>153670552It's possible a good amount of them would have folded to Anissa if she was able to convince them, though far less than those that folded to Rex since he has shown proof of his words. Yours is the best out of these garbage comments since you've implicitly revealed that the anxiety with Robot's character here gravitates around the same conspiracy theory of authoritarianism that Immortal articulates in one of the earlier chapters. But it's still garbage since I had to be the one to say that.
>>153683576>You can say "that's literally impossible" but now you're departing from the framing of the work and are no longer engaging in good faith. You have to prove the wrongness within the premise. Actually it's even worse since you're unable to engage with the question and you have to make this a question of personal feelings and cowardice, which it isn't.What's 13% that counts for 50?
I can’t believe I used to subscribe to this book when it was ongoing.
>>153683633How long did issues take to release? Terra + the reboot must have been hell.
>>153683649IIRC at this point or shortly thereafter Invincible was/became bimonthly (every 2 months).
>>153683649I’ll never forget this specific period I was falling out of it at the time because of the delays and shit but it literally took like 4-5 months to get one issue when I was subscribed to it on discount comic book service. I started to dislike the direction it was going but what really killed it for me was I would just get an issue whenever randomly in the mail.
>>153683686jesus
>>153683601>What's 13% that counts for 50?It's not very hard to comprehend. As another question, it's one thing to say that someone is stupid, and it's another thing to understand how the stupid thought occurred in the first place. Invincible is an expression of a human being's thought, to understand it you have to understand it's logic. To merely state that it does not make sense means that you are not engaging with it's logic anymore and are no longer talking about the work. That's not a sin but this is a thread about Invincible, not about you. Go to /b/ or /pol/ if you want to rant about your inner thoughts. Though from the activity of the thread most people are not yet at a stage where they are capable of articulating their thoughts clearly, like Kirkman. So whereas I can laugh at Kirkman and call him a reactionary, you're just boring and your self-assuredness is pathetic.
I got like from the alternate invincible arc to the aftermath of the viltrumite war issues. You guys think these shits will be worth something? After mark got raped I just stopped giving a fuck man, that shit really turned me off it for good.
So none of you would bang Eve?
>>153683895I actually like the rape. Consequences for the Viltrumites winning instead of being tamed by le human empathy. Of course, Cuckman bitches out of actually addressing it.
>>153683920I hated it man, I was a big fan of mark and that shit just did not sit right with me. When you do the whole rape thing to a character the male fandom of the series is never going to let that shit go whether it’s never ending jokes or people just harping on it forever. That was the nail in the coffin to it imo. Also if any of you remember in walking dead when michonne got raped people were pissed about it and kirkman would pop on the image forums at the time here and there and he said in a post at the outrage “the next time a character gets raped in one of my books it’ll be a strong male figure”.
>>153684088lol, what a pussystill, i liked itrealisticslly, more stronk foids would be raped senseless
>>153683576He kills anyone who might oppose him pre-emptivly without trial or hesitation. He maintains a military police force in every city, and is watching everything. Sure crime is down and the dow is over 50,000 or whatever but he's a full on dictator and everyone is hoping the massacre he conducted is the only one he decides to do. At least Dinosaurus was honest with Mark "I'm going to kill millions Mark. The math Mark, the murder-math!" and Mark just went 'eh, he's probably joking'
>>153671674I am, the actual anon, there. Sorry, I have a life outside of this website. Anyway, the discourse is not made impossible by me "pretending not to understand your point", the discourse is made impossible by you full on switching to insult with zero argument the moment someone made a point you weren't able to argue against.>>153671274Now stop getting your jimmies rustled.
>>153684220btfo'd so hard you're now pretending like you weren't retarded
>>153670404Hold on. Let me make one minor change to this.
>>153684270hehehehe
>>153684259>btfo'dShowasing how that anon failed to make an actual point is kinda the opposite of getting "btfo'd", anon.
>>153684327>he was just pretending to rebootyou sure you're not pretending to be retarded?
>>153684349>>he was just pretending to rebootLike literally yes. That's exactly what happened, anon. you can't argue otherwise without denying reality.
>>153684375https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S4Ss5bK-ws
>>153683721Was it worth it, anon? This scathing critique of a comicbook trope? That he spent months of your life and dollars to come up with?
>>153684406And we are back to failing to make any kind of argument. You really do'nt like being proven wrong, don't you, anon?
>>153684423Not him, but it's actually quite enjoyable on an archival reading.Honestly, it's as enjoyable as an What If story.
>>153684437Proven wrong?About what?Do you even remember what the fuck is being discussed?>>153671012>>153671029
>>153684531>Do you even remember what the fuck is being discussed?Yes. And that comment there >>153671029was invalidated by showcasing how it wasn't actually the exact same thing.
When my brother held a fake gun to the back of my head and made me beg for my life, he was just pretending, so I guess we should all laugh?
>>153684593You are trying to make a comparison with something hat is an actual crime, anon. That's not the same.
>>153684571>was invalidated by showcasing how it wasn't actually the exact same thing.Except it is?This isn't some grand illusion or dream joke. This actually happened. It moves on the plot. Mark just has the Superboy Prime power of punching reality until its different for some reason.>>153684620It should be a crime to waste people's time, honestly.
>>153684593well, that's fucked up>>153684620how do you miss the point this hard?
>>153684628No, he just kills it and it ends and he returns at a later time, not having aged a day.and it's never elaborated on
No, sir. I was just pretending that I was interested in that minor to showcase how fucked up it is.
>>153684640I don't.Quite the contrary, it is that anon who missed the point and I explained it to them.>>153684628>Except it is?Seeing the reboot is undone (and was always planned to be so), it isn't effectively the same thing as a reboot that was actually meant to stay.A key difference is how Invincible actually remember the previous reality (the main protagonist usually don't in a reboot, or eventually forget) and a significant part of it show how awestruck he is about having lost what he previously had. That's not something you have in a genuine reboot. In a genuine reboot, the last thing an editor actually want is keeping reminding the audience of how much better the pre-reboot universe is and how badly the protagonist want to go back to it. The point is to convince the readership that the reboot is actually better, now.You get the exact opposite of that in Invincible.>It should be a crime to waste people's timeYou have only yourself to blame for reading comics in the first place.
>>153684677see >>153684722>A key difference is how Invincible actually remember the previous reality (the main protagonist usually don't in a reboot, or eventually forget) and a significant part of it show how awestruck he is about having lost what he previously had.

>>153684722>>153684733This would help your point if, you know, the pre-reboot universe wasn't a fucking mess?
>>153684722>I don't.Quite the contrary, it is that anon who missed the point and I explained it to them.i legitimately think you are retarded now or this >>153671674 really applies
>>153684757His argument is this
>>153684757>now or thisNo, it still doesn't. Anon made a bad analogy and I explained why.>>153684743Critic of the actual non-reboot universe is a different matter, anon. It doesn't affect my point that it isn't actually the exact same thing. You are moving the goalpost there.
>>153684805>Critic of the actual non-reboot universe is a different matter, anon. It doesn't affect my point that it isn't actually the exact same thing. You are moving the goalpost there....Do you not understand how an argument works? Or what the goalposts even are? I am criticizing what you brought up in defense of this.
>>153684783No, it's really not, because Kirkman's point is not "ah! you thought it was an reboot? well it's not" (to which this image would actually apply). Kirkrman's point is actually "Reboot are bad".
>>153684835HAHAHAHAHA!>>153684375
>>153684820>I am criticizing what you brought up in defense of this.You actually did not. What you did was a goalpost moving.The core of the argument is if it's the exact same thing or not. The point I brought up is that the story-teller will usually not keep telling the audience how much better the pre-reboot universe is (as well as usually not feature the protagonist telling how much he miss the pre-reboot universe).My point was about what the story-teller want to communicate to the audience. and the story-teller saying the pre-reboot universe is better is NOT the same as the pre-reboot universe actually being better.Trying to move the argument about whether or not the pre-reboot universe is actually better is effectively moving the goal-post.Do you understand, now?>>153684876Read again:>because Kirkman's point is not "ah! you thought it was an reboot? well it's not" (to which this image would actually apply)He was actually just pretending, but the point was not to fool people into thinking it was an actual reboot. do you understand now?
I don't even know what to say to all this. Reboot defender is either extremely autistic or expertly trolling everyone.
>>153684910How would you feel if you hadn't eaten breakfast this morning?
>>153684911>is either extremely autisticI am not the one who is unable to understand the very obvious subtext of this arc.Like, I am not even trying to defend this arc, there. My point is simply to showcase that this argument there >>153671029simply isn't valid. And the anon who made that post got really upset at me.
>>153684943Well, i have already taken my super, now, so at this point, it wouldn't make much of a difference any more.
>>153684953Yep, you are extremely autistic.
>>153684978I am not the one who can not grasp the difference between an actual reboot and a very clear critic of it.
>>153685004>no u, againPlay with your puzzles or something, dude.
>>153684975Oh buddy.
>>153685075i just feel bad now
>>153685042>>no u, againExplaining to you the actual point you fail to grasp is not the equivalent of a "no u", anon.The difference being that you made a baseless name-calling, whereas I actually substantiated my point.you are really not good at this.
>>153685075>>153685079>if I pretend I failed to make any point by calling him an autism, no one will notice it.Everyone, has, anons.
>>153685104>Explaining to you the actual point you fail to graspthis is the problem with you autisticsyou presume everything you say is to be understood in what you think it should be, however hyperspecific and unsubstantiatedwhich is why you jumped to goalposts when pointed out how bad the pre-reboot universe was not supporting your own argumentyou are insisting it's not a real reboot because hackman didn't commitwhile true, it doesn't stop this from being a reboot in the goddamn first place that never needed to happenhe still did the same thing he was criticizingdoesn't matter if his intentions were never to pull through or notit was needless and ultimately pointless as the same criticism could've been made in one of his comic book shop soapboxing rant bubbles we've seen before
>>153684423No it wasn’t. I look back and ask myself why I ever was even into it to begin with. It’s really not that good but I was all into “other” Superman type books, was heavy into irredeemable too back then.
>>153685191Wasn't he in the insane asylum by now? Or was he out? Either way, story went downhill during.
>>153683686Holy shit. This must've dragged. There's been barely any plot development since Mark fucked off to space.
>>153685236oh boyit's like this until the very end
Why does Invincible attract the worst people? I just wanna fucking enjoy the storytime and discuss or shit on the plot. Instead it always attracts these autists having abortion arguments or whatever the fuck this latest argument is about
>>153685260where do you think we are?and my badi should've realized dude was autistic earlier
>>153685166>however hyperspecific and unsubstantiatedIt was neither, anon.>which is why you jumped to goalposts when pointed out how bad the pre-reboot universeI called it out because the actual argument was about what the writer/editor is trying to convince their audience of. It was never about the actual quality of writing of the actual universe.That counter-argument never addressed the points I actually made and you know it.>you are insisting it's not a real reboot because hackman didn't commitCorrection, I am saying it's the same kind of reboot than the one he was calling out because HE ALWAYS INTENDED, FROM THE BEGINING, TO UNDO IT. And I pointed out very obvious cues indicative of it, that you proceeded to dismiss by trying to argue about the quality of the pre-reboot writing.Are you starting to understand, now?>he still did the same thing he was criticizing doesn't matter if his intentions were never to pull through or notYou have been pointd out clear difference between a geunine reboot and what he did and you have been unable to dismiss any of it (again, pointing out the quality of writing of the pre-reboot universe fail to make any point). It's not the same thing.
>>153685253I can't imagine waiting 2 months only to get yet another "wow maybe Robot is right!" issue while Mark and Eve talk about how weird space life is.
>>153685260>Why do assholes flock to popular threadsWhy do the leaves fall?
>>153685260Someone got completely ass-mad being told that this arc was actually not an invalid way to critic reboots/massive retcons.
>>153685278I only got into Invincible near its end, thank god.
>>153685278This is why the correct way to read invincible is either to read it archivally, or if you were living back then, staying away from it for a long period of time and only read it in bulk. Usually through the collection books (that's how I did it).
