I love his upgrade. His immense strength to give elite level viltrumites the business is top dope!

it's straight from the comic, a perfect adaptation

I just love how they adapted this from the comic, making it about animation instead of about comic art, sot he same joke would still work

They even made a little reference to Ottley’s art versus Walker’s!

Surprised he didn't bring up that many characters only have one outfit. Or you very rarely see them in other outfits.

Yea and in the show it looked like they tried to make the guy look like Kirkman when he doesn't in the comic.

Not in Riverdale.

and it’s SO MUCH better than the comics

@@martophreniasooo much better. For one thing, Mark didn't mansplain her feelings to her, I hated that in the comic

​@@martophrenia oh I never read the comics, but glad they improved it then!

Shantel VanSanten is excellent. She's had memorable roles in The Flash, the TV version of Shooter, The Boys, For All Mankind (a top 3 Apple TV+ show for me), the FBI shows on CBS, and now this voice role. She was even part of One Tree Hill back in the day.

@@joegreene7619 The TV version of Shooter was better than it should have been, given the 2nd Amendment-jerkoff fantasy it was based on.

@@theaikidoka Any story can be good if you tell it well.

@@joegreene7619 Agreed. The Shooter novel and film, not so much. The show was pretty decent.

@@theaikidoka I was okay with the film, but it really should have been 30 minutes shorter and just focused on the popcorn flick parts of it. It almost felt like they thought they were making the next First Blood, but instead they didn't even make the first American Sniper.

I loved that moment! “Words mean something”. So good.

@@funnylilgalreacts I too really like that Scene so could you do a reaction to episode 8 of season 2 that Aired Yesterday

Sign me up too, Anissa is awesome.

She’s stone cold, so definitely intimidating, but that also scares me

She's awesome. Love that they are showing that Viltrumites do operate on other tenants besides pure evil.

​@@raylouison7571😂

i did enjoy her presence as well, which is interesting as she is quite hated in the comics

That's why Cecil is my guy, in a world with creatures that powerful it only makes sense to use every resource you can get your hand on to protect yourself and yours.

@@hematite9914 I see Cecil perspective so much, I understand he’s blunt and looks bitter but man to be in his seat, to look after all of earth from superhuman and above threats, I just know I wouldn’t want to be in that seat.

@@hematite9914 And he barely let the fear show when he faced down Omni Man in season 1.

@@hematite9914 The romantics of the world don't like to think this way ... but if Superman was a real person we'd all be hoping the Pentagon was looking everywhere for Kryptonite. Just as a precaution, it'd be irresponsible of them not to be doing that.

@@toddtaylor6506 Definitely. When the entire planet only lives based on the whims of a single individual, or race, then it is irresponsible not to have the best countermeasures in your back pocket.

I think he wanted to ignore the bad stuff and maybe say “but that’s not gonna happen with me” but he can’t really control that. At least now he knows he can’t control it.

And he took from that what he felt he had to fix, aka make time for Amber, so she didn't feel alone, give her his full attention and focus when he was with her. Showing that he does realize that it takes effort from his part. And I love that even though he tried everything he could, it still didn't work out

The slander will continue. I’m looking forward to seeing her in a future episode.

I won’t say how but the end of their relationship played out Very differently in the comics.

@@antkempwill it tho? 🤔

@@masemboross4996 yeah they had to let her save face in the show compared to the comics where she was a total bitch till the end of her panel time.

Amber needs lessons from Mary Jane Watson.

It still doesn't make sense that they'd break up. Amber is no safer as everyone on earth is endangered by the Viltrumites.

@@Dunybrookmark barely be with her, there’s no reason for them to be tg😂

​@@Dunybrook....okay this is just dumb. Youre dumb. Stop being dumb.

@@Dunybrook It makes perfect sense for them to break up: even before their day off together, Amber voices her ethical concerns about Mark dedicating so much attention to her, and shirking his duties as a superhero. When she talked to Eve in a previous episode, she said the same thing: she feels lonely when Mark's not around, but guilty for having such feelings even though she knows he's saving lives. They're both in an impossible position that's not fair to the other. A breakup is painful, but it's the best option for both of them.

@@Dunybrook Mark cares more about Amber than he does about some random person. He admitted as much in this very episode. Amber (and Debbie and Oliver) can be used as a weapon against him in ways that no one else can.

Now I kinda want Kregg to be comical like this.

I understood amber in the first season but didn't like her. They made her side way more sympathetic in this season and I came to really appreciate her character.

Yeah what they did in season 1 had a lot of woke influence for sure glad they saw the error of their ways

​@@mertc8050The character still hasn't made any sense until this point. They both are ending the relationship at the point where it should have started. How do you not know the danger of being with a superhero? They literally exist in that world, as well as the comics they star in. Mark should have never put her life in danger, and she should have been capable of figuring out why his secret identity was important.

​@fredwin so i assume as a teenager you listenend to all the logical advice your parents and authority figures said and never made mistakes because you just thought it would work out differently for you?

I've always liked Amber, but I'm really liking how they're handling the break up. Her character has been done so much better in the series, than she was handled in the comic.

ngl when i saw her standing on mark i was like aint no way they do it now lol

Yeah it makes it hard to read the comments

Comic fans are notoriously bad for spoilers, they love to do it because they are superior for having read comics 🤷‍♂️

@@TheKonkamanIt's not so much comics fans as it is emotionally stunted children that have been raised without spankings. They crave attention in any form because they never bothered to learn or do anything to make them interesting enough to interact with, so they seek out interactions of any kind to make themselves feel special. They just are not that fun or useful of person in reality off the internet, so they try to ruin everything they can where they can. Call them whatever name you choose, I don't know which names are banned to say here on youtube, but they are just immature little shits that will never grow up because they never made any effort on their part to work on themselves so that others might like them.

I get that spoilers are annoying, but her introduction is something worth talking about among the comic readers. Like are comic-readers never supposed to discuss the show at all, or make videos aimed at others in the know? While getting pseudo-spoilers about some characters importance to a show might bother you, you have to understand that constantly having to creep around all the most exciting and important stuff whle constantly being yelled at is also obnoxious. I feel like most channels are doing their best to appeal to the comic readers without spoiling the important stuff. Is the fact that an obvious villain is hated really that much of a spoiler anyway? I think dealing with some minor spoilers is just a hazard of watching an adaptation of something that has existed for years.

@@ConcreteLogicVideo Why not just start the spoilery comment with “SPOILER”. People can then choose whether they want to read it and comic book readers have a place to discuss what they want.

Yes i dont blame rudy at all, he loves her and wants to help her.. but it is difficult to help someone you love when that person doesnt want to face their own issues to begin with.

I’m ok with it 😂

That's exactly who I thought about during that scene! I hope it was intentional, I don't know if this is a common trope.

Another fun fact they changed the design of the comic creator and he kinda looks like Kirkman this time

Good. That guy is a mess. Can hardly tell the difference on the voice.

That is a fun fact. Thank you for the peace of mind.

niceeee

I know right?!!

No, I think Rudy’s doing it for selfish reasons. He literally created himself to be the same age as monster girl. He created himself to look like Rex, whom monster girl kinda had a crush on. And he doesn’t want her to de-age anymore because then they can’t be together. All of which he asked zero people permission for. He stole Rex’s DNA, and he assumes that him and monster girl are a thing, even though she’s directly told him that they’re not. he continues to pursue the idea of “fixing her” when she never asked him to. He’s overstepping boundaries left and right and everyone still thinks it’s OK. It’s not.

@@funnylilgalreacts I *never* said he didn't cross boundaries or that what he has done is right. It is wrong, and he's shown his disregard and detachment ever since he suggested nuking downtown New York to get rid of the Flaxans. He struggled to empathize and connect. But there is a difference between being mildly sociopathic and socially disconnected, not realizing that people don't want to be "fixed", and having actual, malicious, selfish, wrong intentions. You're reading that into him, when his actual *intentions* are good. Making himself young to better connect with Monster Girl is selfish, but he never intended to cause harm. She expressed to him that she felt alone, that no one could understand what her life was like, and he decided to "fix" that problem for her. Rudy is all about logic. To him, if there's an issue, and you *can* fix it, then you should just do it. Someone refusing to let you help out of pride or fear or even a sense of autonomy or genuine self-acceptance seems irrational and illogical to him. He struggles to understand people, but he *does* want to *help* and do *good things*. That's why he risks his life as a superhero to protect the world. He's done some fucked up things and he's acted in ways that are controlling, egocentric, and unethical. But he's never been malicious. He's acted thus far with good intentions. And yes, the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. But I don't think it's fair to extrapolate from that that Rudy's worse than he is. Amanda has a genuine, possibly life-threatening issue, one that will at minimum jeopardize her ability to be a hero eventually, and she seems content to ignore the issue, and Rudy struggles to understand that.

Awww that’s so nice THANK YOU

@@funnylilgalreacts It's like helping you win a marathon by removing an eyelash from your cheek but, you're very welcome.

I think another aspect is that Anissa isn’t trying to win exactly, if she was really going full force she would’ve been hitting like Nolan and destroying cities, she was purposefully keeping it in the sky and along that beach because she wants Mark to get she, and by extension viltrumites, doesn’t want to hurt humans

@@KilvinTheOdd @stsamurai_ Also, remember that Mark is holding back. A lot. It was very explicit during the fight with the old Viltrumite chick on the insect planet, who he absolutely demolished after he stopped holding back so much (he still held back, and so got stabbed). It's also hinted during this episode, with Mark telling Amber that he felt anger, but didn't want to give in to the darkness because he didn't want to be like his father (I'm paraphrasing). I still don't think he could have taken on Anissa, but he certainly could have given her much more of a challenge.

same LMAO

Let her live her life, if that’s what she wants that’s her choice.

@@funnylilgalreacts but she’ll eventually become useless.

Yeah. Amanda was a bit freaked out by Rudy's actions at first, but quickly went all in to try. Feels like they are adding to it to put more drama in the relationships to me. However. I am delighted to no end that they are giving Rex attention and allowing him a bit of his redemption arc on the show.

I don't think she was referring to the arm cannon, but the pose his hand was in being the Spider-Man web slinging one.

@@levantreven9659 That neither.

"What if Mega Man was a bad guy...."

@@highlander31527 There's like 50 bad guy androids with arm cannons in said franchise.

@@Alias_AnybodyI don't think the Reanimen get names. Killcannon does though, and he is rather minor but recurring villain.

There are a LOT of differences, but both the comic and the animated series are very good.

​Just like every adaptation for a movie/tv series look like. I've read "The Walking Dead" comic book series and I've watched tv series, so I'll be aware of differences, but thanks for advice.

@@pawea1347 Yeah, don't worry I'm not one of those people who are like "It's different, so it's bad!" lol I read the comics first so I was surprised by how different the animated series is, but I also think it's great! It keeps things fresh for me.

Yeah for real. No spoilers but that’s a pretty common thought if you read the whole series. He just needs to stop holding back and think about the stakes

I figured but I’m not sure Nolan will work with Allen, but like those two together? I can’t wait for next week!

Lol. No it isn't.

@@themegatonmenace1224how then

It seems like being “conquered” isn’t really a good thing

That’s why I ask people to post “spoiler“ before they say something, so I can just skim past it and everybody else can have the conversation. I don’t think that’s a hard ask. And I definitely want people to talk about things that they love about the show or something that I said, I just don’t want storylines ruined for me.

Show runners realized everyone felt she was absolute trash in S1 and did a complete makeover. Props to them. Credit where credit is due.

@@zimvader25 She wasn't trash

@@zimvader25”trash” is crazy. jesus christ, the way people over reacting to Amber is fucking insane

​@@nihlifyShe definitely was. She was the worst. They fixed her in season 2, made her aore mature person.

@@nihlify She was terribly written. Literally the only character changes that were worse than the comic version. Even Robert Kirkman said they screwed up how they wrote her in season 1, so unless you know better than the creator of the character then you're just being weird.

More than that, it is happening because she s choosing to change. She is actively engaging in self destructive behavior.

That’s her choice. People are trying to justify boundaries being crossed by saying she’s harming herself when that’s not really what’s happening.

@@funnylilgalreacts I could give you spoilers to prove otherwise, but I know you don't want that.

Glamping compromise?

😂😂

We need to know the benefits of day to day life! It’s probably better than anything we could come up with

@@funnylilgalreactsI have seen nothing of Viltrumites to indicate that they see the people they conquer as equals. Viltrumites had a massive war with their own people to cull the weak. I don't think their idea of "helping" lesser races quite fits in with the human version of "help'.
