That split entirely ruined the season for me. There's way to much time between seasons, which I get, animation takes time, and they have some big names voice acting. But that split in addition with the long season time meant I could barley remember what was going on and then it was over.
I don't know, it's a great show but I'll probably catch it 5 years from now when it's done. Just boneheaded producing decisions.
I had a good sense of the story, but season 2 part 2 was just completely underwhelming. If they'd released it all at once, it would have been setup, payoff for all the season 2 stuff. Instead, we get setup, giant wait to build hype, mediocre payoff.
They did a great scene in the latest season talking about how they cut corners in the animation department to save money. Animation aside, the writing is top notch.
My comment has some spoilers on the story so far (for the animated series), you have been warned.
Is it just me or does it feel like this entire series is about teaching the viewer that no good deed goes unpunished? I love invincible but every single good thing heroes do always becomes something bad somehow, it gets tiring. Also it feels like his strength lv fluctuates like crazy, from being a punching bag to any villain then accidentally killing another without any training.
He's incredibly powerful for an earthling. He's a weak viltrumite. Ircc viltrumites get stronger with age until there's a steep decline, and he's around 20. I'm pretty sure Nolan is close to 1000, and hasn't hit his decline yet.
The whole season we watched him get beat up while he tried to do the right thing. That's largely the theme of the story. Doing the right thing is often harder than not.
I loved the comic. I really like kurtzman as a comic writer. Invincible is his love letter to the super hero genre. Later storielines play with a lot of tropes in fun ways. If it's not your thing though, maybe just drop it?
