Invincible

It's 2025 and I just started watching Invincible and now I'm mad at myself for putting it off for so long. My brother said he was going to start watching it because of all the great stuff he heard about it and so I said "why not?" If I didn't like it I would just bow out. Well, I not only liked it but we binged the entire three seasons as fast as we could. The only good thing about putting it off for so long is that we didn't have to wait the year plus in between seasons and were able to watch them all at once. You can tell it was created by The Walking Dead creator because almost the entire cast is in this too, among many other stars. This is so much more than another animated series. It's so brilliantly written that has a plot you can't help but want to follow. On top of that it has the character development of a great movie and is beautifully animated. I can't say enough about this series.

I have no clue of the source material but happy they kept it animated. Not what I was expecting but epsidoe had me hooked!

Invincible really increases the standards in animated tv or web series by showing good character development, emotion, great ton of action and pg-18 violence which is kinda cool. Best thing is, every episode is 40 minutes instead of 20 😬

"Invincible" is everything modern superhero franchises wishes they were. It is a great subversion of what the audience has come to expect from the genre, while at the same time relishing in the tropes that people know from the world. If you are going to give the audience something different from what they expect, that different thing needs to be good or even better than what they were wanting in the first place. The first episode is a great example of this. They set up a world very familiar to other superhero shows. But then, after the credits start rolling, the show swerves to a new direction that is even better.

If you were into "The Boys" you will definitely be into this show, a realistic version of what superior beings would actually be like. Blood and gore check, great voice actors check, fantastic soundtrack check (recent episode included a track from the group Nine Inch Nails), great story check and dialogue that actually feels important and emotionally powerful . Only thing is that the animation could be better, but it's still great and some of the villains get repeated but it's following the comics so I can't really fault it for that. Omi-Man,Cecil, Mark and Allen the alien voice actors/characters carry this show!
