>>153704291How did the original Ragnarrs not rip him two new assholes
>>153704299Lolelmao Kirkman really is going to do Oliver dirty like this
>>153704257Jesus I hope they rewrite this part in the show, this is dumb as hell.
>>153703226>>153703327
>>153704003kek why is Onanist such a barbarian?
>>153704057how is that an asspull? multiple scenes of Mark flying Terra didn’t clue you in that she was going to get powers at some point?
>>153704339they didthe opening in his abdomen and severed intestines>>153704344Have you fucking seen the show's rewrites? They're going to make it worse. All of it
>>153703863I don't understand why nobody in this comic gives a shit about the maulers having cloning and mind copying technology that literally nobody else possesses, especially when Rudy's seen how it works firsthand>>153703958I'll admit, this new artist actually knows how to draw a fight worth a damn rather than relying on over the top gore as a crutch
>>153703508The Marky namedrop always makes me think of lil cheetus
>>153704341>>153704205>so did rexAll I'll tell you as an IHF reader is that it could have been waaay worse.>>153704257I can understand Mark and Eve but Thragg said Terra is strong for a Viltrumite her age, wouldn't it make more sense to injure her eardrums and then leave?
>>153704346kek>>153704352lollmao
>>153704352Nta, Terra is like 7 here at most, Mark got his powers in late puberty. As a casual reader with little recall of when Oliver got his powers or Viltrumite biology in general, it does feel a little like an asspull. But Invincible has never felt like a comic with a stable power system or even lore, so it doesn't bother me.
>>153704320his body just planking like that is making me lmao
>>153703218>>153703212Why did Kirkman make Nolan such a dumbass
>>153703863Robot wouldn't trust his own clone to not try to overthrow him.
>>153704360You're not really answering me and I don't think if we keep talking about it I can get it through to you what the issue is
>>153704380Because it killed off the original protagonist and replaced her with a younger version of herself who actually loved Fairyland?
>>153704096the blue spaghetti must have messed with his brain or something, how is Mark not blasting this kid to bits when his daughter's life depends on it?
>>153704394to make the plot go forward
>>153704096Mark you should not be losing to a younger Oliver, it does Thragg just have better sperm? >>153704215You know Mark you could have just pointed out that you killed Conquest to save your brother
>>153703338Why is Ursaal so soft and caring?
>>153704257There is something that's just unusually brutal about these death
>>153704193they plop them out and then leave them to fend for themselves, like most fish. Maybe they even spawn a few thousand of them at once and only 1 percent make it to adulthood.
i NEED to fuck ursaal
>>153703443>third panel Nolan's smile looks way too goofy.That's the smile you make when you unconsciously grimace but catch yourself
I don't understand how Mark shouldn't be able to totally oneshot these two on the spot, at this point he's stronger than Omni Man AND Conquest, and the variants, except for that one cannibal for some fucking reason, and definitely oliver when he was at the age these two are.
>>153703455Oh right for mark it was only a few months but Eve would’ve said something to Nolan in the five years mark was gone
>>153703643What the fuck why did Mark age so much?
>>153704214They still are but they aren't unkillable by any means >>153704471You're not doing the fucking
>>153704494plot, anon
>>153703848Orioles silently mentioned
>>153703692Nolan was better when he lived in space.
>>153704289hm, well that's certainly one way to do it
>>153703742>>153703744Guarantee you two are bitchless
>>153704320ty OP
>>153703692I could understand this more if mark was away for the length of time for the time skip. Nolan just wanted to maintain the plot without actually progressing mark in any way, it’s honestly just annoying to see that yeah Rex is still evil and nothing has actually progressed for the plot despite the time that’s passed.
>>153703749Now Mark and Eve look like they're in their 40s, wtf? Eve should be like 25 and Mark should still be 20
>>153703783Imagine waiting 2 months for an issue and this was all you got
>>153704410Yes, but it is more in the "Main character is anticlimactically killed and replaced, it's not acknowledged by any of the characters aside from occasional passing mentions, returns but its a glorified background character who only exists to make the main antagonist more powerful" way, like imagine if Oliver was still killed, but Rex made a clone of young Oliver who everyone treats like the real deal with only a passing mention of him being a clone, then in the final arc it's revealed that the real Oliver survived and he appears in a crowd shot when Mark is motivating everyone but no one ever acknowledges him and he does not even appear or is mentioned in the epilogue.nuGert never liked Fairyland until Happy End Game Part 1 because Skottie needed her to have an excuse to defend it from Happy.>>153704504>>153704573Cory Walker's new artstyle, page drawn by Ryan Ottley (>>153686809) vs. page drawn by Cory Walker (>>153686879), the latter happens immediately after the former.
>>153703218Robot is such a sue
>>153704529
>>153704388Viltrumite biology seems to trigger in near death situations like how marcus got his powers in a car crash, since mark was never in situations like that, they triggered later I suppose
>>153703997He can't, because he doesn't know where Ursaal is.
>>153704320Honestly this is worse than Naruto in terms of the heros just making the worst decisions until he wins simply because the plot said he should. At least they kept the action interesting outside of singular moments I’ve never seen interesting action from this
>>153704299She made her hair super fancy
>>153704346Retsu the Alien
>>153703863>>153704369have you seen the Maulers? if any of them cloned themselves the clone would probably think they're the original and you'd be unable to verify you're the real one due to forgetting
>>153704127>Ursaal actually struggling to beat EveHow weak is she
>>153704299Did conquest not yell thragg about eve? I’m gonna ask but I think I know the answer, does Terra ever show she has any sort of powers like eve? Also I do wish they made it a plot point that when the abortion was going to happen the fetus did the same thing eve does and just reforms as a human
>>153704233How did Eve not get ripped in half from the kick alone
>>153704168No they don't. This is the reason why Mark stays hostile to Allen.
>>153703692>He was your friend for many years. Now he is MINEDamn.
>>153703402debbie seems to have lost about 15 years of age while pureblood king of kings viltrumite keeps aging clearly shes a succubus in disguise
>>153704299>>153704320It makes absolutly no sense she couldn't revive Oliver with her retardo-level powers, Kirkman is just a shit.
>>153704440>it does Thragg just have better sperm?Well he was pretty much created to be the strongest after all
>>153704680Make a mark on yourself that says "I AM THE ORIGINAL". It worked when one of them got all burnt up, the Maulers just don't bother to do that because they're dicks and immediately wind up killing each other when they know who's who.
>>153703692>He was your friend>Lets just forget all about the time he tried to murder you and violently ripped off your pregnant wife's leg purely out of spite
>>153704299So why didn't Eve pass out this time? The last two times this happened she passed out after using her full power.
>>153704728An easy way to fix this is to have Thragg crush Oliver's head out of spite and Eve does try to revive him but since she had to recreate his head it only restores his physical body.
Does Cory Walker do art for anything else noteworthy or is he just the Invincible guy?
>>153704780She's powered by pure plot in this instance.
>>153704494It's even worse because he one shots Ursaal without killing her, then one shots her brother effortlessly offscreen.
>>153704769Then the cloned Rex would backstab original Rex and kill him. Rex's ego would never allow himself to not be in charge.
>>153704494>I don't understand how Mark shouldn't be able to totally oneshot these two on the spotPersonality.As seen by him "totally oneshotting" the kid once it came down to a mutual hostage situation and he lost his last reason to hold back.>oliver when he was at the age these two are.These kids are like what, a year or two younger than him? Mark would've been in his reboot coma when Oliver was their age. And even if compared to long-hair kid Oliver, they've spent their life training against ragnars and conquering worlds instead of chilling about on Earth for most of it.
here comes the copes
>>153704257But she can fly, she won't die
>>153704728Kirk wanted that nigga gone. It why the traitor shit was even on the table to begin with
>>153704790These look like worse versions of the funimation covers for the dbz seasons
>>153705137At least the content inside them is not cropped and DNR'd to death.
>>153703218>He was a good friend
>>153704214>This tiger can’t hurt me in a controlled environment I set up so they're actually not very good at hurting people at all
>>153703256Doing this in front of someone's family is fucking wild
>>153705121I still don't understand why Oliver was working with Thragg, just seems incredibly contrived to drive the plot
>>153703385same
>only 8 pieces of ursaal art on paheal>3 of them are two pieces of one comic then put togetherI expect this number to explode. In five years at the earliest.
>>153705280He's a spy for Alan
>>153705394be grateful for the animation then, more smut is inevitable
>>153703492Is that here daughter or does there exist tinder for single parents in Invincible?
>>153704193I guess they abandon their kids like turtles
>>153705423it's been so long I forgot and was completely willing to chalk it up to another poor writing choice
>>153703620Kate looking like a snack here
>>153703636i wonder how rex’s parents who are still alive feel about this
>>153703274Terra has that Viltrumite bloodlust
>>153705432that’s their daughter she’s later taken by robot along with the other viltrumite kids
>>153704031Imagine having the gall to keep using the tagline of "Best Comic in the Universe" long after your writing goes to shit and after you lose your better artist. Will the show even get this far?
>>153703338This is it: The best Thragg pose in the story
>>153705508They either died at some point offscreen or they are jealous that their "son" became famous and does not care at all about them.
>>153705543if only we could be lucky enough to be spared of more retarded rewrites and secondary faggotry
>>153705543>Will the show even get this far?Despite its many issues I'm confident that this series will eventually be finished. Whether they get stretched out as long as possible or shove everything into a final season is up to Amazon.
>>153703774>>153703783If he has them training with ragnaars they're probably pretty strong right?
>>153705543Reception-wise the show is still doing more than good, they would have to somehow fuck it up tremendously
>>153703434Anissa was just trying to get some fucking coffee and she got attacked
>>153705626It's going to happen. This shit is inexcusable
>>153703890>no ass crack fuck Cory
>>153703933is he just now breaking the sound bearer?
>>153705626>they would have to somehow fuck it up tremendouslyIt's Kirkman. It's Kirkman being expected to rewrite and elevate an intrinsically bad plot written by a younger Kirkman. Most importantly, it's fucking Kirkman.
reminder unadulterated old kirkman gave us the hell episode not even the slop eating normies liked
What was the point of Oliver? He was an interesting character back when he was Kid Omni Man, but ever since Conquest died For Real, it feels like they've had no clue what to do with him.
>>153703977Mark should be able to punch him out no problem. more kirkman forced drama
>>153705613He's a Viltrumite. His thought process is "if you can't handle them, I don't want you alive"
>>153705727>it feels like they've had no clue what to do with himThat's why hack writers kill off characters like that and in the dumbest way possible.
>>153704380>All I'll tell you as an IHF reader is that it could have been waaay worse.You niggas have completely ruined the discourse surrounding the comic because you will shoehorn that in at every turn. Now there is no more appreciating the good bits of IHF, it's all just blotted out by your whining in every thread you can mention it.
>>153705885>Now there is no more appreciating the good bits of IHFNTA, but that's how it works, a shitty enough ending or sequel can ruin a whole series no matter how good it was
>>153705885Ok
>>153703766>Geldarians have been given housingI don't want those metalbacks to get a fucking cent out of my taxes
>>153706025jej
>>153704346>tis but a flesh wound!
>>153704215Glad to know he isn't a total pussy
>>153703848I'll always love how Viltrumite ENTERs are so abrupt
>>153705931>NTA, but that's how it works, a shitty enough ending or sequel can ruin a whole series no matter how good it wasRemember Voltron?That show was HUGE during it's peak, nowadays the IP is dead again and people only know the series for its decline and its rabid LGBT fanbase.Star Vs. is another example, big during seasons 1-2 but season 4's poor writing decisions made the show only known as the one where the main characters commit Genocide on magical beings.Or what about the Fight Club sequel comic?
>>153705931>NTA, but that's how it worksNo, it's exactly how it fukken works. A shitty ending, maybe, but a sequel ruining the original work is retarded. You have to be addicted to complaining about shit and prefer it over actually enjoying what you allegedly originally liked to let a detached sequel get in the way of anything.
>>153706116*not how it
>>153704320looks like terra is yawning lol
>>153705727Mark2 showed up so Oliver had to exit stage
>>153703226>nolan, and eventually mark, are on par with all viltrumites but thragg>alan after one zenkai boost can body nolan effortlessly>you need high durability to be strong or else you will shatter like what happened to Mark>a stupid council member was able to nearly kill alan with a fucking bomb
>>153703185my favorite cover
>>153706154The writing before the end of Viltrumite War was a solid 7/10The writing after is a 3the 1 is there because something existing can't be a 0 and the 2 keeping it from just being a 1 was the rape
>>153705613They're weak as piss, they literally splatter on contact trying to hurt Mark later, Thragg takes to throwing them as projectiles.
>>153706116>>153706135Haha, retard.
>>153706154Why was that random councillor so mad about Allen not producing a bunch of viltrumite hybrids when by process of powerscaling, all they need to do is just mass produce bombs like what she used on allen and easily take out entire armies of viltrumites?
>>153706238How the fuck did Oliver survive against Conquest, then? Thragg-sperm Olivers should be able to SOMETHING. Oh, right.>shit writing
>>153706154Yeah, if they had bombs like that they should have been able to take the pureblooded viltrumite fukkin shits with kamikaze attacks and luring them into traps.
>>153706260Dude, at least refute his argument.>>153706116>>153706135I am sorry I don't like how a continuation that sold itself as the official next chapter to a story ditches it's main character in a way that makes her development throughout 20 comic book issues feel pointless.
>>153703629So that's where they got Tech Jacket design for the show
>>153705523seeing how viltrumite dna eventually ends up eating the non viltrumite dna like the thing, and what happened to older Olivier, I wonder if she ends up getting whiter and whiter as she gets older.
>>153706304>>153706306People are going to turn on Invincible the same way everyone turned on GoT, The Boys, and so on.>>153706320They used Walker's designs, and it's all the worse for it
>>153706238>Thragg takes to throwing them as projectilesOnly have this edit of that panel on hand.
>>153706322that would be racist, chuddyblack erasure is not tolerated around here, xisters
>>153706320It looks so fuckin godawful, why couldn't they have used the actually good version?
>>153706361because mimicking Ryan's style would require effort and actual animation to keep consistent, which they already have trouble doing with Cory's
>>153706322That was so stupid, its just another element of how viltrumites are so boring and one note they actively make anything they are involved in less interesting.
>>153704257It'd be less contrived if Thragg actually tried to kill them and Eve's limitless mode forced him to retreat.
>>153706468please nodon't give the retarded fags more eve wankbitch couldn't even do any real damage to conquest
>>153706345>People are going to turn on Invincible the same way everyone turned on GoT, The Boys, and so on.I feel like those are a little different. GoT got backlash because they diverged from the books and attention to detail they put into the previous seasons. The Boys went off the rails from season one and spun its wheels far past its expiration date. Invincible will go to shit BECAUSE it's followed its source material and its source drops the fuck off really, really hard.
>>153703664I’m not being funny, Robot didn’t actually kill that many people
>>153705177Yet the art is still worse
>>153706312>I am sorry I don't like how a continuation that sold itself as the official next chapter to a story ditches it's main character in a way that makes her development throughout 20 comic book issues feel pointless.Me neither, but at that point that just makes the sequel an entirely failed experiment. The more egregious of a crime it is against the original, the easier it is to write off as a whole, especially since the completed nature of the original run means that it's entirely contained away. While the original premise of the second volume was a great idea to get things going again, the first nevertheless ends and stands well on its own without needing it. The door had already been shut perfectly fine on the original Gert, and while it's annoying as hell that Skottie opened it again just to spit in everyone's faces, that's all the more reason to just tell what he's doing now to fuck off, instead of letting it just dominate everything to be said about the series. Leave its disappointment to the sequel, rather than letting it dominate everything about being a fan.
>>153704043Those Viltrumite genes seem to get stronger and stronger the more human is in there.

>>153704070Its funny he says this but now the animated version has them as little superpowered killers at her age, right there purging each other just like the adults
>>153706758that was so dumb
>>153704233This has been a fun family afternoon
>>153704263I mean he just ripped Mark in half. Thragg has no reason to believe they can survive this
>>153706713This one has kids getting ripped in half with their organs coming out and decomposing kid bodies.>>153694016Rough time being a kid in comics.
>>153706788conquest never reported eve resurrecting?
>>153706758That was one specific event though.
>>153706792looks like shit, exactly like the comic right now
>>153706792This has the look and feeling of an interesting concept written by someone who can't write.
So, as of right now Mark is now the second strongest Viltrumite. Don't ya just love zenkai boosts?
>>153706903Anissa can still rape him
>>153705640In realityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGhMxbN6nB0
>>153706903Is that how they get stronger? I never see him train and their isn’t any martial arts where they try to make the action look good or thoughtful, it’s always just haymakers
>>153706952You seem him train for like a single page and never again.They just get stronger instantly. Like the GTA San Andreas working out minigame. Almost exactly. You just do the reps and instant muscle
>>153706952No Viltrumites don't get stronger from being injured, that's specifically just Allen the Alien's powers.The only reason he's stronger now is his nerfed girlfriend for once used her (what should be absolutly broken) superpowers to rebuild him stronger.
>>153706993They get stronger over time. Like explosively. Battle helps
>>153707017Not really, the rest of the adult viltrumites with Nolan don't go getting stronger.
ursaal shattering my pelvis
>>153703236Oh its part where a new artist came in.
Why didn't Oliver call Nolan so he could dispatch some emergency Viltrumite enforcers to Mark's location to fight off and maybe actually kill Thragg this time?
>>153704154Mark survived worse...
>>153707197would they have even made it in time?
>>153704299>Die trying to save your brother's family>Your brother just kinda shrugs its off and moves on
>>153707258He really wasn't a Viltrumite.Mark and Thragg have something in common
>>153704215RIP purple buzzcut Tetsuo
>>153704154>>153704191Thragg has actually lost his fucking mind
>>153707244Oliver made it there pretty fast.Even if Earth was further away than where he was, it's better than not doing it at all.
>>153706993Mark pretty much does get zenkais, just not to same degree as Allen, he went from not being able to stand up to even a single random viltrumite on Thraxa to being able to stranggle Conquest to death
>>153707318That's just called being the protagonist, him being able to choke out Conquest and the bigger dude not being able to break the poor hold technique was for sake of plot
>>153706952We're not allowed to talk about the dreadful fight choreography and how everybody regardless of species is the same mindless hammer-blow swinging brute.
i really want to try a sinister mark au but lack the motivation
AU where Mohawk Mark gets sent to the made in abyss universe by Angstrom (as requested)
>>153707375Watcha got in mind
>>153707517Basically an inverse of the first season. Nolan telling the truth earlier and properly conveying that if Mark doesn't get his powers, he's not really his son. Really getting that across, he leaves him in the Amazon forest with the goal of getting to him on the summit of a mountain. He manages it, and it leads to Mark being more physically active as a kid and obsessed with preparing himself for when he actually has powers. Nolan mellows over time while Mark hardens. Thus, when he finally gets his powers, Nolan has to delay the take over for as long as possible while trying to get Mark to relax. You can put together how the rest fits by now.
what was the point of moving mark and eve to Talescria? was it just because he hated robot that much?
>>153707800the plot, anonnever mind the fact eve could just turn all of robot's robots into sludgethe plot needed to happen
>>153707516Wouldn't he just make everyone his bitch then get fucked up because he thought he could fly up and resist all the curses?
>>153708218he probably could resist the curses tbdesu
>>153707310Yeah Thragg is uncharacteristcially stupid in this arc. Antagonizing Mark is just silly
>>153708307the plot needs to happen, maaaaaan
>>153707310As soon as he found that Nolan and Mark were Argall descendants he stopped being a good character.
>>153703338Fighting game final boss vibes going hard
>>153708502supremely bad writing would do that
>>153703575Here is an example of that
>>153704380>>153709115I guess you are right, it could always get worse.
Did you get the feeling that indie comics in general are just as trash as corpo comics?
>>153709339YesThe Furry Trap is apparent le ebbin horror kino but it's just some retarded faggot blood, cum, dick, and rape lol i'm so edgy having the taste of a 13 year old mad at life nonsense that also looks horrible.I think the only good through whole run thing of them I've read was Brat Pack, which managed to deliver a more scathing criticism of a comic trop in five issues than it took any other in their series.
>>153709339Kirkman and Skottie aren't that indie.
>>153704039>>153704057Telia seems a lot more pleasant in the show ngl
>>153703422>Friendship ended with Mark, now Nolan is my best friend
>>153706322I think she's the medical technician taking care of Eve at the end of the series.
>>153709507because we haven't gotten to this scene yet before, she was just a sex toy
>>153706496>Doesn't bring up the fact that he nearly killed your granddaughter just to spite him.
>>153709649she wasn't born yet
>>153703185Oh no she's hot
>>153703434>>153703455RE-ENTER
>>153703508ENTER Mark's BEST child
>>153703508terra a shit, my fanfic is that somehow Ursaal and him met up and bond over their shitty fathers.
>>153703774JOBnars
>>153703878Ursaal is a (sexy) beast
>>153703890where's her ass?
>>153704013heh what a silly guy
>>153704082>One . . . Last . . . Job . . .
>>153704123>>153704127She's so cute bros
>>153704154EXIT
>>153704215Yay, the most retarded twist in Mark's morality arc!
>>153704289BRAVO KUCKMAN
>>153709339Yes.
>>153704215Okay so was this a good thing for Mark's character or not
>>153704346I was praying someone would do this
>>153710278Sure, why not.
>>153704154Mark and Nolan managed to tank similar attacks so why'd he die instantly? Crappy bug DNA?
>>153710418I find it weirder Mark was able to be torn apart so easily >>153704257I feel like that'd be harder to do than donutting.
>>153710278>Mark decides to leave Earth to be with his family because he won't deal with Rex>Mark leaves his family to go deal with Thragg once and for all, gets trapped in the Matrix>Mark chooses his family instead of the world where a big number of deaths were prevented, loses on 5 years with Terra and Oliver ends killed>Mark decides to deal with Thragg againThe story zig-zags between punishing Mark for acting like a hero or for personal reasons, so can't really tell if this is good or not except for the meme value of the line.
>>153709405>I think the only good through whole run thing of them I've read was Brat Pack, which managed to deliver a more scathing criticism of a comic trop in five issues than it took any other in their series.Veitch had the advantage of being one of if the first to do this and a laser focused plot (the replacements turn out just as fucked up as the ones they replaced).
>>153709339indie is a bullshit term that's been abused to hell
>>153710278This is like the sixth and not the last time Mark has flip-flopped on killing enemies. Taken as a whole, Mark has no coherent guiding philosophy and just does whatever he feels like.
>>153711158I tried
>>153711548lmao nice
>>153703921Its super annoying seeing her as just 'pink lantern' when her powers let her do things like "the air in your lungs is now uranium" given we saw her turn piss into acid in the Eve backstory.
>>153704036Other than pointless drama, why is Mark struggling with bugboy here? It should just be a quick viltrumite handshake and done. He's at most 7 years old, he's early Oliver level of strength.
>>153704168It fairness everyone forgot about him as soon as he wasn't on screen. Even Mark didn't remember him enough to be a reason to leave the timejump universe. Terra not existing problem. Oliver not existing, who?
>>153704396Robot, arms red to the elbows with the blood of friends he betrayed and killed wearing the face and name of a friend to make his plan to bang a girl easier: "my clones would be incredibly untrustworthy and would seek power and control immediately and would work to undermine me, no matter the good I had done" Nolan and everyone else: Robot's a great, wise and good guy we should trust him entirely and put in absolutely no checks and balances to his power..
>>153706495Yeah, there's three quite unique problemsGoT they ran out of story and the attempt do get D&D to write a satisfying end was hilariously terrible. They're a bit like Zack Snyder, they do great work visually when given clear directions and no autonomy, but the moment they're allowed to have an opinion about the material they shit the bed.The Boys went completely of piste from the source material before the first issue, the only similarity was the names and they had to really tone it down regardless because nothing Ennis has written should be shown on TV. Even Anthony Starr, great Homelander that he is, could keep him as a compelling character after molesting a baby and eating people.Invincible's broadly keeping to the story and they have a full narrative arc, it just gets progressively dumber and Kirkman's attempt to improve it during the Show give us gems like "what if satan was a little old pervert man fighting a volcano woman for no reason"
>>153703274Man, she just called your daughter a monster. I'd have given her double what her brother just got.
>>153710278We know that Mark is willing to kill to protect his family, but saying that being a hero is bullshit is just bad writing.
>>153703492Every single time I've heard the term "zonked out" has been in either this comic, or the Walking dead.Is this just a term Kirkman is trying to will into existence?
>>153712752Better yet, they've got a special poison that disables viltrumite powers.I'd personally just turn her saliva into that stuff.It doesn't even break the rules of not affecting sentient beings
>>153712968Just because something is true to source material doesn't make it automatically better or worse, that's just lazy criticism. Sometimes I swear people want an excuse to say "I read the books/comics" as though that makes them look intelligent somehow when it is all mass market slop to make money regardless of medium.Also GoT was seven years ago get the fuck over it already, especially since the show has nothing to do with either comics or cartoons.
>>153705226How did Thragg get them into a controlled environment in the first place, Bart? Super tranquilizers?
>>153713352He kidnapped them obviously
>>153713253What the fuck are you even talking about? I made zero value judgements about how true those three are to the source material or how clever it makes me to have read all of them and seen all of them. I just pointed out each of the three has a very different situation. GOT was close to the material until the material ran out. The Boys barely references its source material and Invincible is following it closely.The only value i stood out on was that D&D were terrible as screenwriters and Ennis's work can't be transfered to mainstream TV as is.
>>153710278He might as well say that he's not invincible. Then end the series saying that he is. But no matter what he says, we can still see him.
>>153704147Obligatory
How do flying humans and other aliens like Allen keep stable during flight if they don't have the inner ear balance sensitivity that Viltrumites have that was claimed to be "necessary" when introduced.
>>153715040don't think about it
>>153704233Doesn't Terra lez out with this purple chick later?
>atom eve gets her pink shit shields punched through even by nobodies like powerplex>decides to go to school for architecture (which she barely does anything with her new knowledge) instead of studying something actually worthwhile like chemistry or physics to make full use of her powersShe could be making shields out of the strongest carbon atoms ever conceived, instead she stays worthless. Why even make a character with a power like this, and even give her her own OVA special, if they weren't going to use her in any cool ways? She feels like such a waste of a character. It doesn't help they also made her some turbo ugly bulldyke in the universes that Invincible joined his dad.
>>153715078>expecting women to be logicalLess than even odds of that happening, especially in the Invincible world. Debbie gets back with Nolan for fuck's sake.
>>153715301silly anonsthis is femlogicit's entirely self-centered and anything detrimental is a man's fault
>>153715301I find it weird how "White man with a mustache Vegeta" who underwent thousands of years of brainwashing dogma can never be redeemed, but everyone loves Vegeta even though we spent way more time with him being a villain than Nolan. Hell even Frieza got redeemed. Goku teams up with Frieza's OG boss and trains under him too. But no one gives a damn until it's a "le space hitler" allegory.
>>153715325cognitive dissonanceif the show made nolan not give a shit like his comic counterpart, i doubt anyone would care
>>153715078>After Rex Splode dies, Eve carries on his legacy by learning how to make controlled explosions out of breathable atmosphere>By this point years later in the story, has expanded on that and is basically an unstoppable force on planet surfaces unless rushed down>Limited in space because there's nothing to use her power on and conjuring things from nothing burns her own caloriesThere, fixed her. All the final fights where plot can't have supporting cast outshine Mark happen in space anyway.
>>153715325Dragon Balls can wish the dead back to life, and Vegeta killed only a handful of people that Goku and friends knew. Plus making friends with his enemies was Goku's whole shtick; literally right before the timeskip Goku fights Piccolo at the world tournament using world tournament rules just because it's sporting, when Goku had killed the old Demon King Piccolo and the new one only showed up for revenge.Nolan got a really delayed case of post-nut clarity and the story flip-flops between showing the "irrepairable" damage he's left, introducing a new threat that fucks up the world just as much lf even worse, and explaining why Nolan should stop sleeping on the couch and go back to the bed. It's a weird tonal whiplash.
>>153715431kirkman is a hack, yestaking over the earth to make it better is badexcept for when you're robot
>>153715431>Dragon Balls can wish the dead back to lifeDoesn't matter. Just because someone sane can bring people back doesn't mean the person who killed in the first place is any less horrible in doing so. Not only that, but Dragonballs only exist on Earth and on Namek, Vegeta destroyed many planets before ever coming to Earth and compared to him Beerus is like 6 million giga Hitlers+Stalin combined with the amount of planets he destroyed. Even the Namekians Vegeta killed didn't get wished back because they only wished for the ones who died to Frieza and his men to come back and Vegeta had already defected.>Vegeta killed only a handful of people that Goku and friends knew.That shouldn't matter to the audience which is who I'm talking about. The audience loves Vegeta, but they shame Nolan. Even though Nolan was basically inspired by Vegeta and whatever Superman kryptonian dude plays that same type of character I don't read that shit.
I don't get why Levy teamed up with other Marks who he despises all to torture the good Mark. Clearly he isn't going back to his original plan even if Mark dies because he allowed millions to die to the evil Marks. Wouldn't it have been better if he used his dimension hopping to say unite the Viltrumites of every universe and basically be considered their species' savior and then have them invade and kill Mark? Not only does he not have to team up with the kid who he despises because he personally killed so many versions of his Earth and family, but he can even live in some twisted delusion of how he's actually saving people with Viltrumite rule with their whole spiel about a better life.
>>153715078>>decides to go to school for architecture (which she barely does anything with her new knowledge)She did build that house
>>153703492>>153703521This kills 2 birds with one stone for Kirkman, it punishes Anissa fans who thinks she's best girl and thought the rape was hot by having her get blacked, and it satisfies Kirkman's cuck fetish.
>>153716262kek
>>153715040Viltrumites have really weird pseudoscientific explanations to their powers even though their powerset is so basic that everybody else can do the same thing with no explanation.
>>153716936That's bullshit literal fanfic never confirmed by Kirkman. Why do so many retarded faggots keep bringing it up? Not once. Not a single fucking time are "smart atoms" ever said nor referenced. Stop it. Just stop.
>>153715040>>153716936Kirkman had to reach really hard to think of a possible Viltrumite weakness.I still think their insides being less resistant than their outsides is stupider. Yeah, your organs are squishy. But they can't be if you're literally running through entire planets with no internal damage
>>153716959bro didn't mention smart atomsbut i do wonder how many people got that off of fucking death battle of all things
what the fuck are smart atoms
>>153716995>I still think their insides being less resistant than their outsides is stupiderIt's dumb because if they're weak enough on the inside that robot can kill one with a bomb because it's mouth is open, shouldn't Eve be able to kill basically any Viltrumite that opens their mouth by making lava or explosions inside of them?>>153716959Anon I didn't say that you said that, but that said I can't believe people still take that shit seriously.
>>153715056Sounds hot.
>>153717083>shouldn't Eve be able to kill basically any Viltrumite that opens their mouth by making lava or explosions inside of them?she should be able to get through people by their nostrilsand since she can make food, she should have no problem of turning the food in their guts into lava or something
>>153717083my badi just see this shit everywhere now, and it's so fucking grating because they've clearly never even read the comic
>>153717083>>153717124Eve's power must count the space around living things as part of them to some degree. Or only work on what she can see. But of course the obvious real answer is Kirkman is a hack
>>153703185Invincible is highly satanic because it has DEMONS and HOMERSEXUALS
>>153717199Bless you
>>153703218Is the Nolan entirely unaware of what rudy did to mark and eve?
>>153717321Yeah but he's a Good Friend now, you can't expect Nolan to hold that against FOREVER
>>153717146My favorite thing about people suddenly buying into the smart atoms fanfic is that it's directly contradicted by the series where Cecil's able to tell Anissa's power level through muscle density, when if it was just the atoms being strong for her, it wouldn't reflect her true strength at all.
>>153717405lol, nice catch
>>153703636>if you just give criminals everything they want then they'll become upstanding members of societySure thing buddy
>>153717469don't forget whose writing this
>>153715794Dude is literally insane
>>153717390True enough, friendship conquers everything.
>>153703636>Give a crackhead some crack and they'll help you fix societyRedemption is bullshit.
>>153703921How the fuck is Eve running, even the artist is trying to hide this problem by putting the other character in front of her stump
>>153717757You can see the pink spark she makes to fly below her stump in the fourth panel.
>>153717779Oh fuck, I get it nowYeah, maybe that could have been a more obvious visual thing for tards like me idk
>>153704257>Eve's powers are such bullshit that they remove any and all tension from the plot because you know the only reason they won't die is because of shit writingI felt nothing when I saw this. I knew Mark was ok. I knew Eve was ok. I knew nothing would happen. It's a shame when your main character can literally be ripped in half and not one single person reading it thinks he's dead for one second. I know this happened with Dinosaurus too, but at least they milked it with "WOW, HOW IS MARK GETTING OUT OF THIS ONE?!" instead of him being perfectly fine literally 2 pages later because of Eve's retarded hack powers that activate whenever a Deus Ex Machina is required.The worst part too is that her powers don't even guarantee they can't die, it requires the antagonists to just be retarded. Thragg has to go "NO DON'T KILL THEM WAIT SHIT NO DON'T DO IT" when their goal was to kill them, not to maim them, not to leave them bloody and broken and dying, the goal was to kill them and he goes "nah let them suffer, but not Oliver he gets 1 tapped and insta-killed because he doesn't have plot armor".
>>153717797I've noticed even normies called Thragg sparing Nolan and Mark plot armor.And, to be honest, it absolutely was.
>>153715325Different stories with different intentions and tone, DB is not going to distract you from all the cool flashy fights by going super dramatic about all the atrocities that Vegeta did (who are either off-screen, or are easily able to fix with the dragon balls and then brush it off immediately like nothing happened), that's why one is easier to turn a blind eye to his misdeeds but not the other
>>153717850Thragg using Mark during the Scourge Virus II is a decent way to go about it, but it requires Thragg to basically be playing 6D Chess to make such an anticipation.And of course his brains go out the fucking window since Dinosaurus makes everyone that works with him lose 200 IQ points so yeah.
>>153717902man, if all the viltrumites didn't pull up at the perfect time, thragg would still be regentwhat the fuck happened to kirkman after viltrumite war
>>153717797>>153717850>>153717902>>153717952I think Nolan and Oliver should've died there. Thragg killing Nolan for his betrayal and Oliver for being a half-breed. But he spares Mark because he's young and managed to kill Conquest. That would've been far more believable and actually had consequences. So when he goes back to Earth, you don't want him to take the "offer." But he has to. And it's not in his power at all.
>>153704346that Thragg laced shit fucked him up badly
>>153718052bro cut off his entire body while highhow the fuck did he do that?
>>153704154Freddie on Freddie violence
>>153718025Would have made alot more sense than how Nolan dies later on
>>153718522Nolan and Oliver cease being characters after anyway so yeah
>>153718522It's dumb, because if he can just put his whole arm through nolan's heart and turn off his healing factor, why didn't he just use that move when he was trying to kill him on the moon base?
>>153719072Plot said no.
making me want to write an entire rewrite of the storybut i'm already doing that for a completely unrelated thing
>>153717124>she should have no problem of turning the food in their guts into lava or somethingOr turning the air in and around their noses into ozone or nitrogen dioxide, or the water in their tears into hydrogen peroxide, and that's if you're conservative with her powers and only let her rearrange atoms and only within line of sight
>>153704193They let them be raised by robots.
>>15370940560 years later and alt comic creators still think going "haha, this ain't your grandma's comics, they do drugs amd swear!" is praise worthy
>>153720614if i had any sort of resources or connections, i'd try telling a basic bitch fantasy story or that normie assassin in a fantasy world idea and watch it go gangbusters
>>153717199What's wrong with like Homer?
>>153720737*liking
>>153720658>watch it go gangbusterslel
>>153722184they are eating up the boys and invincibleennis and fucking cuckmanthey will eat any shit as long as it's not what they're used to
>>153722263>they are eating up the boys and invincible>ennis and fucking cuckman>they will eat any shit as long as it's not what they're used toI can't blame them though, most of the other normie-slop released these days is worse, to the point that Ennis almost looks more coherent than he should. Then we have to consider that were sooner or later going to have to contend with the onslaught of "AI" written media. We've been going downhill for so long the things we consider garbage are starting to look good in comparison.
>>153722913i can make something of actual qualityi merely lack the resources and connections that would let me distribute
>>153703492I'd like to see the show expand on her mellowing out and actually settling down with her husband.
>>153724929lol noyou get hackiest of the hack writing
Invincible train wreck bump.
>>153703265I wanna suck on those bloobies
