Her excitement to see Allen was like watching the worlds slowest car crash.

The Allen title card got more hype than anything I've seen in a long, long time!

"How is no one noticing this?" In the comic he mentions that one of the first thing he noticed about Amber was that she is one of the only people that actually does look up.

Nolan talked about the Great Purge briefly to Mark in the first season finale where the Viltrumites took out half their population to leave only the strong among them.

The sad thing about Rex is that you can see he’s kind of trying, but that’s how cataclysmically bad he is at social graces. Lol

'the last time you didn't want to help someone we both regretted it' Damn that's the absolute best way to phrase that

I think the key thing that Cecil misses, is that it's the ability to have genuine connections with humans that kept Mark from turning out like his dad. Even knowing he's going to outlive them all by millennia, Mark loves the humans in his life, and THAT keeps him tied to the fate of humanity. It's very similar to Aang in ATLA - absolute power is a corrupting influence, and while Aang has his past lives to inform him and balance him, it's his connection to "normal" people that keeps him from seeing himself as above them. Cecil should WANT Mark to have human connections, but after the life HE has led, I'm not sure he can see things that way anymore.

The thing with Kate is that it's one mind perceiving the world through many bodies with many brains. If she creates nine duplicates, and therefore has ten of herself running around for a year, she's experienced the same year from ten different viewpoints. Chronologically, she's therefore aged one year. EXPERIENTIALLY she's experienced ten years worth of different perspectives. She might be biologically a teenager, but experientially have centuries under her belt due to parallel living, depending on how many bodies she's splintered off.

"Allen! Yes! I'm so happy!" 😬

It’s insane to hear Theseus is voiced by Peter Cullen AKA Optimus Prime himself. 16:29 The last ending is a surprise moment.

It may seem like she's redeeming herself, and she is so far, but i think it's mostly because of the criticism of how they handled her in the previous season, and going back to how the comics handled it. For the sake of the show's continuity, I'll say that the fight between Invincible and Omniman gave her a wakeup call on how dangerous what he does really is as she saw the brutality of that fight as it was happening right after she broke up with him.

Love how enthusiastic you are about seeing Allen get freaky with the Tentacle lady.

In the 1970s, Science Fiction author Larry Niven wrote a humorous essay called "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" in which he discussed - sometimes in gruesome detail - some of the issues that might result from Superman having sex with a human woman. The conversation Amber and Mark have definitely seems to be a nod to that.

I loved this episode, especially the focus on Allen. I know in my heart this can't be the end of Allen. They implied he's been beaten by a Viltrumite before, and we know they never go easy on an opponent. Got the song that plays at the start of his episode, and I'll be listening to it on repeat.

We all need an Allen plushie to snuggle at bedtime with . . . Well, an Allen plushie for any time of the day 😍

"Never apologize for saving lives" is a funny line coming from Amber who once dumped Mark for saving lives.

Watching your reaction made me realize that the “Great Purge” that is mentioned is probably what Omniman talked about on the last episode of last season. How his people killed the weak of their species to become stronger…

Fan of the comic here, don't worry, i'm not here to spoil a thing. just here to say that the Allen segment is an adaptation of an issue of Invincible that was totally about Allen, kind of a "Allen's own issue" kinda thing. And just for fun, that issue had a goofy narrator. So it was pretty great to see they decided to keep the goofy Narrator bit for the show.

Want to give them props for the Rex and Kate convo, because it showed more of them as characters. Rex showing he cares despite his tendency to say the wrong things is a good thing for us to see. Kate hasn't been my favorite character but it's nice to get to understand her. Loved so much about this episode, but wanted to give a not big moment some props!

"would drugs even work on me ?" "i don’t know, try it" 😂😂🙈

U r too good nd pure hearted for this world

"What is this card?" On one side was a phone number, but on the other it showed the Morse code for "S.O.S." which, in addition to the traditional meaning of "call for help," (pun intended) in this context also stands for "Spouses Of Superheroes."

I absolutely love how they wrote Debbie and how Sandra is voice acting her. One of my favorite characters in animation.

Why would they end it there? Well, to torment you. This is the way.

The great purge was shown in season 1, when viltrimite fought each other to kill off 50% of their species, so only the strong would be left.

Not sure why anyone would like the Shapesmith, personally. He's either a total moron who thought that 1) The astronaut he replaced would somehow be fine on Mars forever, and 2)The Sequid wouldn't get him OR he's a completely callous sociopath cool with identity theft that didn't care about either of those things and just really wanted to get off Mars. There's a third possibility that he's a kid (less than 10 in Martian mental development years) and therefore couldn't truly understand the long term ramifications of his actions, but I doubt it. It would literally be the only twist that I would accept for his actions.

The situation with Nolan must have really freaked the Viltrumites. Attacking Allen so soon after his report to the council means they're basically willing to risk confirming they've got a mole in the Coalition somewhere. And the fact they sent *3* Viltrumites to take a guy any one of them could of solo'd? Yeah, this is a big deal. That species must be wound tighter than any known spring in the universe if they're throwing this kind of power around.

The only weird thing about taking Star Wars figurines to college is that someone might have been tempted to steal them. Otherwise you announced who you were - good for you.

There's nothing funnier than "There are worlds where dogs and magic are as real as the air you breathe!" "We have dogs; dogs *are* real." "Well then, you're halfway to understanding!"

I’m a new subscriber. However not the first reaction I’ve run across from @funnylilgalreacts. Her reaction to the Wakanda Forever trailer got my attention. I went back and watched other reactions, and after Season 2 episode 1, I was on board. Love the honesty, and genuine emotion!!

My housemate and I are both in our mid-40's, and walking into our house looks like you've walked into a comic store... Represent your inner geek with pride!

Can't believe Princess Azula voices Monster Girl I just found that out!!!!!!

everyone reacts in a similar way when omniman appears. Some more shocked than others. Some more emotional than others. You are one of the few emotionals.

“AUTOBOTS! ROLL OUT!” Is all I could hear whenever Thaedus was talking

DISCLAIMER: I have not read the comics. I am show only. They way he spoke makes me think this is a trick. I think Nolan is showing "What the plan was". By bringing Mark to a perfect world with no strife or issues he has a bargaining chip to convince mark to help him do his work. This feels way to early into the season for Nolan to have a real change of heart. He may be wavering but I don't believe for even a second that this is genuine.

It's Optimus. Thaedus is Peter Cullen, Optimus Prime. From the old school 80s cartoon AND the modern movies.

Olga gave Mark's mom a business card, one side had the phone#, and the other side had Morse code on it, with dots and dashes saying SOS.

Mark is the key to turning his father, much more than debbi. Based off the fact that every other world invincible joined his father, and conquered earth, very well meaning ours was the only one to rebel against his father

THAT WAS PAUL F TOMPKINS!?!?!? I can't believe that, I didn't recognize his voice at all. What a legend.

The music at the end had such an effect on the experience. And when Nolan is revealed, the way the music embodies Mark’s world collapsing on him in front of our eyes. The people working on this show absolutely crush it, and you can tell they love it.

Debbie calling out Nolan for his lies for the 20 years of partnership, people support her wholeheartedly. When Amber calls out Mark for lying in their months long relationship, and people think she's an awful person. So clearly its either lying early in a relationship for months is okay compared to 20 years, or what is being lied about? Clearly not all lies are equal. Eve warned Mark about getting into a relationship with Amber only if he was serious. That obviously meant honesty was part of the deal. In a world of superheroes, of course she would figure it out and he clearly did not respect her. Mark was treating her like, something he wasn't serious about even though he might have loved her, like, something small, and not important, like...what's a word the fits....Nolan said it once. Or maybe Eve also just doesn't know what she's talking about and we forget she said that? How about William straight up calling Mark a shit boyfriend to his face? Do we hate William now or does the gay shield protect him? The hate Amber gets is the same exact thing I saw when Sansa was hated on Game of Thrones, like Skylar White on Breaking Bad. Haters love the protagonist so much there's no way they can be wrong ever. I've rewatched Invincible multiple times. I noticed Amber's caution with dishonesty, inconsistent behavior. She's careful and sometimes snarky with people that seem to have things to hide when shes still reading people. But you know what she loves and what makes her light up? Honesty. The scene in the University before the corpse bot attack where Mark straight up tells Amber he wants to be with her in that school, that's what she loves because Mark and sure and honest about his feelings and wanted Amber in his future with him. Mark continuing to lie about an important part of his life to his girlfriend of several months especially after an attack? Doesn't that seem selfish or Mark? Not enough people care to try empathy on characters unless they have enough screen time I guess, I just don't know anymore. But hey, if it's easier to hate rather than to get it, whatever helps yall with self inserting into this power fantasy.

Think Angela, think. When this episode is all over, what will you have next week? You'll still have the next episode... To answer why this episode ended there.

Her reaction when Nolan walked out was so genuine and intense. The way she started breathing heavy and tearing up. Very heartfelt. These are the types of reactions we look for.

This show is nailing the tone of the book so much. Great episode. Great reactions!

Love this reaction. I love how you said you brought your Star Wars memorabilia with you to college while wearing a Star Wars shirt. Crazy that the traitor was voiced by the same guy who does Optimus Prime. I love Allen!!!

I love your joy of Allen

For me, Invincible is my cocaine . . . Invincible with Allen!, cocaine springled over my favorite ice-cream.

12:38 _"Oh, Magnum Pi?"_ *Magnum P. I.,* as in "private investigator." The show that put *Tom Selleck* on the map, as it were. Huge in the 80's.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had some Star Wars stuff in their dorm lol

i lost my mind when I heard Thaedus! Literally Optimus Prime, Peter Cullen!

"Coalition of planets, ROLL OUT!"

Other reaction channels " ooh Allen" this channel "did that cat have two buttholes" 🤔this is why I come here and love it

goddamn that one eyed badass better not be dead!..

I had the same reaction you had when I read the name

mark and amber remind me of a robot chicken skit where jimmy olsen and a very nervous clark kent are investigating the crime scene of the brutal and puzzling death of lois lane

Your comment around 17:10 makes me think of Critical Roles 2nd campaign and this quote from Cadaceus(played by Talieson Jaffe who played Percy in C1) "I think it has been a long time since anyone has pointed out to you that you are a fool. Pain doesn't make people; it's love that makes people. The pain is inconsequential; it's love that saves them. And you would know that, but you have none around you. You said so yourself, you surround yourself with lies and deceptions. And I wish for you in the future to find someone who will mourn you when you are gone. Respectfully." One of the best quotes to come from Tal, probably only beaten by "life needs things to live"

Not William with the feng shui 🤣

Allen was such a great character, I already miss him so much

Now it seems like nolan was hoping Mark was normal bc he knew his people would look down on him for having a kid. Like he was gonna take over earth after they died of natural causes, since it would just be a blink in time for Nolan. And he's probably gonna say that alien planet is an example of what earth could be, if they take over idk just a guess

"Sometimes, to change the universe, you have to be Allen" has very similar energy to "I am Kenough" and I'm so here for it.

I am actually not sure what I think about Allens "death". Part of me with Thadeus saying "Forgive me Allen" alongside the way he did believe in the "weakness". I wonder if Thadeus either faked Allens death to send him to Earth to protect Invincible or something. OR did it to prevent Viltrumites being able to harass him for the knowledge of Mark, I kinda feel Thadeus isn't the mole even if he seems like the chief subject, but potentially the Cecil of the Coalition. But we'll see.

Not this man losing cell reception 200 feet above the ground. The writers know there's buildings like 5 times as high as he was there right?

It’s funny right after the alien showed up and was like “I’m from 2 galaxies over” all I could think of was how did he know his real name and were to find him. he might have heard of invincible, but even Allen didn’t know his actual name

Dupli-Kate seems to get a pass from some regarding her betrayal to Eve. I don't think Kate deserves that pass. Kate did intercept Eve with intent to hide her shower fling with Rex. She knew she was betraying Eve, just as Rex did. Her explanation of relating to The Immortal does hold ground but she still came off pretty insensitive to Rex. Discussing Amber's concern with Mark - Nolan was able to procreate with Debbie and not kill her - indicating some level of restraint control. SIDENOTE TRIVIA: To answer the "Superman question" : Superman stories tend to give him restraint control over his ... um ... entire body's muscle response. This explains why he doesn't destroy the Earth with a sneeze, cough, fart, or bathroom break. This version of Superman once accidentally inhaled some magic dust and could feel an uncontrollable sneeze about to happen. He raced into an area of space with no nearby life. His sneeze went in the direction of a dead solar system and destroyed it.

This was a good episode. It was kind of all over the place, but the payoff was great.

Never read the comics, so I'm just following along with the show. My theory is that Thaedus didn't kill Allen, but is faking is death in order to make the actual spy think he's been taken off of the table. We'll see what happens.

The mid season finale is gonna be WILD! If you read the comics, you know 😅

I wasn't expecting Peter Cullen's voice in this show, but that is always welcomed.

I have not read the comics, so I have no idea where this is going. But my theory is, that Nolan/Omni Man brought Mark to that planet to show him what a civilization becomes after joining the Viltrum Empire. I could be very wrong. And maybe Omni Man has turned over a new leave because of his son. But my gut tells me I should doubt that.

So far there is absolutely no substantial proof that Thadeus is the mole. The only suspicious thing is the life-support scene which would not make sense if he was the mole considering the scenes before.

I think dividing a season in 2 parts makes sense if you're doing a 24 episode season or so, like they used to do, but with only 8 episodes it makes no sense.

Mark has not to stop believing strangers when they tell him stories

Oh yeah what's funny is we don't usually look up so two people or, I guess a magical dog and Viltrumite having a convo in the sky wouldn't really be noticed. We tend to focus on what's in front of us not what's above us.

Rudy/Robot wasn't afraid of going to movies, it was that his body was deformed (and kept a secret) and he lived in a giant tube before he got his new clone body. I guess he just never sent his "drone" (Robot) to a theater. I would have taken him for pizza before a burger, but that's me.

Just hit me. Cecil had Mark get DarkWing for the same reason he sent a recording of the beasts roar down to R&D. Could be a good way to get rid of Mark and his dad one day.

You have to remember that "Rudy" lived in a vat his entire life, as air burned his lungs. All his food would have been processed mush with nutritional value only.

After all that says about Amber, I was happy to know this episode Amber showed how understanding she’s actually become. Also you’re right lol. Not here for facts just your cool reactions. I know the facts already, so you’re good!

I have read the comic series over and over throughout the years and rarely does something from the show surprise me (except the train scene that wasn't in the comic) but seeing stuff in the show still gets me stoked. When Seance Dog( Science Dog in comics) showed up at the door my thoughts were "OH SH!T!!! Here we go!" It was surprising how quick it got to this point in the show. They seem to have accelerated the plot for the series. I dont think Mark was still even with Amber by this point in the comic. I wish they would accelerate that plot point quicker. Even though they changed her crappy attitude this season I still dont like her.

Steve Yuen has been getting put through the ringer by Kirkman for years. First Negen now this?!

I'm a bit surprised you didn't recognize Thaedus's voice as being Peter Cullen, because it seems to be EXACTLY his Optimus Prime voice.

The narrator is Paul F. Tompkins, a very talented improv comedian who you've definitely heard/seen before (he's kind of one those "that guys!"). Also, I might be remembering this wrong, but Kevin Smith, I think, had an idea for a Superman story in which Lois gets pregnant and then dies when the baby kicks because it has super-strength. I don't think it ever got produced, but that would probably be the bigger concern than super-sperm!

I don't think age really matters much when your immortal. EVERYONE is wayyyy younger than you. It would be pretty lonely if you tried to find someone closer to your age. Plus the fact that they would be gone in the blink of an eye in your view, you'd probably want them pretty young to spend as much time with them as you can.

also that beardy guy sounds like Optimus Prime

The great Purge is when the viltrumites cut their population in half, the truth bomb from episode 8 of season 1

Duplicate is actually in her early 20's and Abe Lincoln stopped aging on his thirties but i get where youre coming from

Shapesmith, like "shapeshift" but with "smith" instead of "shift". Btw, we also saw King Lizard as Prince Lizard in the Atom Eve episode. I don't get the age gap thing. Is Abe supposed to stay single until he finds another thousands of years old partner? Shouldn't you be just as outraged about Debbie and Nolan then, since he's also hundreds if not thousands of years old already? Based on Kate's comment in the first season, they're all the real Kate, so I would think they all share the same consciousness. 12:03 "Want some? I got plenty." 14:05 Also very much The Boys territory. 16:35 You did already? Nolan literally told Mark about it in the last episode of season 1. 17:54 Tentacles > Noses 23:14 He was stuck in a tank. 24:24 Scar ripping noises intensify... I was sus about Allen's girlfriend in the beginning though. I thought she was in his apartment to maybe find more information about Nolan and Mark and then just used their relationship as a cover up. But after seeing her cry for him I guess she might now take up his mission for him instead if he's truly dead (I don't trust it when they cut away from such scenes). What I don't get is why he would task Allen to find an alleged mole if he was the mole himself, just to have him then killed shortly after as well? He could've just kept his mouth shut, but now Allen's girlfriend knows and will probably try to figure that one out by herself.

Transform and roll out, it's cool that they got Peter Cullen for Theadus

Thaedus sounds like Optimus Prime

Thaedus's voice is Peter Cullen, the guy that did Optimus Prime's voice in the Transformers...

16:28 Omniman explained "The Great Purge" in the finale of season 1... though he didn't name it.... Basically, all of the Viltrumites killed each other until only the strongest remained....

I suspect it's a fake Nolan, since the alien that brought Mark there could transform, and specifically chose a form that would make Mark lower his guard.

Well, there's one advantage to being brutally injured in space. No chance of infection.

Actually Nolan was following orders when he murdered the guardians. If Nolan disobeyed orders tge guardians would have lived

Thanes's voice actor is the guy that does Optimus Prime's voice in Transformers.

Cecil, Debbie, and Eve are the main characters of this show for me lol

Also I wonder why rudie would wear the robot suit putting himself in danger instead of controlling it from afar like he always did

You're wearing a Star Wars shirt, so it's okay to mix the metaphors. Also: You snorted.😂

Hey there, you are going to do Korra, right? You will love it=)

Love how they're following the comic arch. Sucks there's only one more episode till the 2nd part of season 2 which will air in 2024

Maybe Vegas doesnt look the same on every version of earth in the multiverse
