Mark’s powers were what set Omniman off, because he’d been hoping Mark would never get them. He’d been planning to just live the life he had, up until both of them died. Once a few generations passed, he’d continue his original mission. He was lying to himself, this entire episode. He does truly love Debbie and Mark, so much so that he put his world domination plans on hold for 20 years. But when Mark got his powers, he realized that Mark was half Viltrimite, meaning he would be alive to see him conquer the planet. So, if that was going to be the case, you might as well rip the bandaid off now. Especially since the chances of another Viltrimite coming to check on him, and seeing he’d made no progress, was always a looming threat.

The mummy thing is just a gag. He took care of the problem by flying too low and causing enough turbulence to blow the tomb shut. It's the equivalent of a horror movie opening up with a gruesome scene and then pulling out to the main characters watching that scene on tv.

“You dad. I’d still have you.” Will never not bring me to tears.

“Immortal. I’d still have immortal”

If you think Omni-Man is bad or what he did was evil, just wait when you meet the other Viltrumites because trust me when I say this, Nolan/Omni-man is the most nicest of his people😂

“You dad. I’d still have you.” Kills everyone lol. Man that line was brutal.

Pretty sure the Martians didn't know about Viltrumites. Cecil said they lived underground and kept to themselves, so it felt like they were probably quite isolated. And the Emperor's response seemed more like bravado to hide that he had no idea what a Viltrumite was, especially with his glance to his fellow with a raised eyebrow, and the other Martian's shrug in response. This season was a trip. Looking forward to season 2.

I do think it's telling when reactors are so against Debbie and Art's feelings for Nolan. Maybe because they are young and haven't been married? Nolan is her husband. They were together for 20 years, they raised a son together and had a pretty amazing life. It isn't easy to just erase 20 years of love. Hell that miniscule amount of time was enough to change Nolan and he grew up in a warlike society for thousands of years and yet Debbie is just supposed to be like, "Yeah, Screw him." No way. For Art this was his best friend for 20 years, especially in the industry they were in it isn't like Nolan had a lot of people outside of family to talk superhero life with. So Art took that role seriously.

The best part of the Atom Eve identity scene is William getting her mixed up with someone else after. Like they don't pay attention to the Teen Team that much.

This show has balls. The train scene, while incredibly gory, is also absolutely necessary. The scene boils down Nolan's argument to Mark, that humanity is a weak and fragile species that cannot stand to Vitrumite's in body or time. While human lives fade, they stand firm, unmoved. The action is shocking in its violent brutality, but this is precisely what underlies Nolan's views. A brutal outlook tempered in time and blood. If he showed such a lesson to a Vitrimite they might applaud him on his argument, but what Nolan is missing is the emotional attachment that Mark has made with humanity, something that has not been tampered with by an endless lifetime, "the mission", or a brutal ideology. Nolan's emotional attachment is not to humanity, but to his son, and Mark reminding him of this not only saves his own life, but the planet.

“Looks like I wasn’t the only person being lied to.” All the extremely heavy stuff Mark has recently suffered (including having his own father murder hundreds of people right in front of him and then almost beat him to death) and this girl STILL tries to play the victim and make it about herself. Personally I hope that toxic relationship ends next season.

steven yuen's voice acting in this ep is phenomenal

More then the first episode, this episode I been wanting you guys to see. It was so intense and adrenaline inducing, also pretty sad. This is why Mark is my favorite character. He has so much heart. He knew he stood no chance against his father. Yet, he keep getting up and trying. He really showed the heart of hero and champion in this fight.

Nolan calling Debbie a Pet and that she doesn't matter is actually him trying to talk himself into this aswell. As seen in the Flashback, his time on Earth actually did affect him. If he truly was still 100% indoctrinated by the Viltrum ways, he would've killed Debbie the Moment she found out he murdered the Guardians, because she "didn't matter" anyway as he claimed. Not only that, he even let Art live with the Knowledge, which was another major risk. Granted he threw a lowkey threat at Art, but everything we know about Viltrumites at this point, this was still hella uncharacteristic. And when Nolan flew away, crying, it wasn't because he couldn't decide what to do. At that moment he did decide. It was either serve the Viltrum Empire which would mean to kill his Son, or abandon his Post. And as Allen said, in thousands of years there was never a incident of a Viltrumite abandoning his Mission, not even ONCE. Funny thing is that Omniman/Nolan is "nice" relative to other vitrumites. You can kind of tell he's conflicted about the whole thing but feels he has no choice. He said in episode 1 that it probably would have been better if Mark didn't get his powers... then he could at least wait out Debbie and Mark's death before he took over Earth. But since Mark's powers awakened, Nolan couldn't do that anymore. Every extra year that Mark lived is another one that Mark would become more attached to Earth and humans, so Nolan probably felt he had no more choice. And if he wasn't going to take over Earth, then the other vitrumites would eventually come. omniman is over 1000yrs old completely indoctrinated with his peoples ways. 17yrs with humans aint gonna change it. yet Marks words got to him.

11:10 When you realize Omni Man finding the new Guardians to be “pathetic” probably saved their lives.

"They should clone him! Like an army of Marks!" -Morgan 2022 I just want this quote to be remembered.

19:40 Lol While all 4 of them have these immediate looks of being absolutely horrified… you then have Parker, who’s just over there trying his best to hold back from bursting out in laughter. Lmfao

27:00 “Got His Ass Kicked So Many Times” Well With A Name Like Invincible, We Gotta Put His Name To The Test

The martian thing was pretty confusing, but basically one of the humans got left behind and taken over by the sequids who then proceeded to conquer the martians. The thing that went back to earth with the other humans was a martian, not a sequid. Martians can shapeshift, so he appeared as human to hitch a ride. So the sequids haven't come to Earth, at least not yet.

Episode 1: Omni-man trains his son Episode 8: Omni-man TRAINS his son

After this I immediately started reading the comics. By the time I was done I was even more excited for season 2 and everything that’s to come. There’s going to be a few fights which will make the blood splatters on the opening titles be literal tidal ways

I rewatched that “you dad” scene so many times in reactions and tear up every time. It wa so beautiful when she cried at that moment.

44:16 I think what you’re referencing that line where amber asks if eve can’t make it to the soup kitchen because, she "needs to go save the world". It was just a coincidental joke. No one knows she’s a superhero, remember that even mark was surprised when he figured it out. The mask thing doesn’t change anything, like you mentioned, Omniman doesn’t have a mask. It’s like what eve said; "it’s a psychological thing". I don’t know how accurate it is, but it’s superhero logic, I guess.

12:25 “She’s more like a pet to me.” Girls’ reaction: 😬 😱 🤯 🙊 Parker’s reaction: 😐

The comic is the perfect super hero story, this show has a lot more to cover in future seasons. I can’t wait for the second season!

That whole fight wasn’t Nolan trying to convince his son, it was him trying to convince himself. He has changed, and there are much worse Viltrumites than him 😬

The way I see it, the reason why Nolan waited so long to carrying out his mission of conquering Earth had everying to do with Mark getting his powers. I think he probably would have prefer to wait long enough for both his wife & child to grow old and pass away naturally, but that no longer matted as soon as Mark gained his Viltrumite powers, because he knew Mark would live just as long as him...meaning that there was no longer a point in stalling the inevitable anymore.🤔

"You, dad. I'd still have you." This line always hits me. Every time I hear it, I can't help but letting a tear fall down on my face.

Parker just smiling at the destruction 🤣

I’ll never get tired of rewatching this episode. Especially seeing other peoples reaction to it.

This was my favorite show of last year and I can’t wait for more everyone who’s read the comics say just wait the best isn’t even out yet. It just gets me more and more hyped I can’t wait for the rest of this story to unfold!!🔥🔥Also I’m sure you girls would love the boys those would be awesome reactions

Props to Debbie for being such an amazing mom and all around great person. Kind of the only reason Omnie man didn't go medieval on the planet.

What always gets me is that people very critically latch onto the negative things Nolan says, like the "pet" comment, while completely ignoring his every attempt (and is never shown in videos) at being realistic of the situation, constantly showing us that there's two sides to his feelings. He often speaks quite objectively and makes notable disclaimers that let you know he's not some one-note evil villain. He alludes to wanting to wait until Mark and Debbie were gone to do his job (interrupted by Mark getting his powers) and tries to get Mark to see the bigger picture. Now, of course we know Mark wouldn't be okay with this revelation, but as a viewer, we have a lot more information than Mark. It just blows me away that so few see the nuances in his character. Nolan goes from mostly unwavering in his loyalty to being extremely harsh in order to ignore his feelings, to trying to convince himself that what he's doing is right to flat-out abandoning his post. He's not heartless and he's not a simple "bad guy". He's a man who weighing thousands of years of indoctrination against the brief love of a family, facing the existential crisis that everything he's ever believed in could be wrong. EDIT: I get that the negative comments are more shocking and thus garner more attention and feedback, but the other, more subtle characterization that explains those comments exists throughout the series and I guess it just rubs me the wrong way that it's so easily ignored by so many, not necessarily just this react crew. It's clear he loves Debbie, but he also has the knowledge that he'll outlive her by so many lifetimes that she'll eventually fade from memory or be replaced by another. The "pet" comment is rough to us, but if we lived for thousands of years, our perspective might change. That's why trying to adopt the perspective of the person we're judging is so necessary to being rational.

The Martian knowing about Viltrum was a joke, he definitely didn’t know about them.

lmfao love parker's reaction to amber coming back! xD

That’s a good thing about this show when a character is stronger than the main character he doesn’t somehow get strong enough to beat the bad guy he gets his ass kicked it’s more realistic

20:30 Omni-Man: Certainly not this pathetic excuse for a civilization! Blonde: Hey... We're doing ok... Me, remembering the last five years in America alone: Are we, though?

Somehow after dozens of times seeing it I against all odds just NOW realized how hard Nolan is projecting when he yells at his son about what will you have after 500 years. Nolan actually knows what 500 years is like. He's probably had a whole handful of wives and kids and even grandkids come and go several times over. This was the first time the person he loved would actually survive until the day he died. His son was going to be there to see the man he decides to be from that moment on. Like Nolan is super fucked up but he also came from the kind of stuck in your ways that centuries of saiyan blooded Superman fascism cements in a mother fucker so him changing even a single inch is several miracles stacked on top of each other for real.

I was refreshing just to see this...I love watching people react to the chaos 😁

Alan is probably my favorite character in this show, he's like that buddy who just senses when you're having a bad day and comes around to take you out for a beer or helps you with a job without needed to be asked first like fixing your car.

1:51 “He murdered them in his house.” TBF, if ppl break into your house and start shooting machine guns at you I don’t think it’s considered “murder” to kill them. 😉

Now that you guys have completed Season 1. Perhaps we can watch the new seasons together. I know they been working S2 and 3 simultaneously. I seriously hope we can😁😁

Spoilers! The old buff dude at 10:40 is Conquest. In the comics he's basically Mark's Doomsday. Unfortunately he'll probably be introduced in the end of season 3 considering how long the comics are. But if you thought Nolan was brutal, that guy makes Nolan look like a saint

Wild ride the entire season! Looking forward to Season 2

I remember reading the comics and the story is just beyond crazy and it’s unbelievable what mark has even after all his years.

It was so funny hearing you guys ask about the mummy pretty much every episode. I don’t know if that character comes back later or not, but, in the same episode it appeared, it’s implied that it was either crushed or sealed away by the slab that slammed in front of the tomb. When it comes to not noticing a superhero, or even a celebrity, it’s a real thing. If you aren’t looking for specific features, or person, everyone just kind of blends together or are even ignored unconsciously, especially if the brain isn’t given ample time to analyze and process. Even when you think you recognize someone, you unconsciously doubt and rationalize the situation, just like not being absolutely sure you’re seeing an actual celebrity until they confirm it. Even to this day, there are only a handful of my family members who won’t initially mistake me for my older brother if it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, and I think that that’s mainly because we grew up so closely throughout the years.

A bunch of Marks does sound like a good ... until you learn what happens when a bunch of Marks pull up.

When he said ‘you dad’ i just seen everyones face at once just crumble into tears 🤣

I love the reaction Morgan and Sam had when he said "you dad, I'd still have you". That was a great line. What a punch to the gut from Mark to his Dad (not Invincible and Omni-Man).

"What will you have after 500 years?" remember these words.

As far as superhero disguises go...remember...Hugh Jackman went to a ComicCon and was told he looked nothing like the character. Ryan Reynolds and several other well known actors have also lost look-alike contests of themselves... People can be really obtuse...

41:13 👀 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

The mummy thing, mark buried him under when he was flying too close to the ground literally in the same episode. It was kinda like just a little joke

Keep this in mind. Omni-Man is one of the nicest Viltrumites….. Yeah.

A few moments before Nolan holds Mark against the Train, he weakly struggles, and says, "I need.. to save them.." And Nolan says, "No you don't." That's.. the part that really sticks with me.

I think the cyborg program uses severely wounded veterans, especially those on ventilation or with substantial brain damage or multiple severed limbs. Not sure about the consent situation fully though.

Bro I cant wait to see Battle beast, Conquest and Thragg in action

"You dad, I'd still have you" Ahh, that gets me everytime.

The thing with the sequids is that a martian took the place of the astronaut and an astronaut got left behind. They thought everyone came back but one snuck on the shuttle and disguised as a human. Parker's right. Literally just some random martian came along for a joy ride to earth.

Mark saying "You dad... I'd still have you" broke a lot of people

Bro it's been a long time since I've seen someone slowly make a giant gawking face at something as a reaction. It feels good to know some stories and concepts can still genuinely shock viewers today.

While Mark isn't invincible physically, his mentality and heroic spirit are. Even in the face of all this he never once wavered, always wanting and trying to save as many people as he could. And after recovering, he went out to meet Allen after a day or two.

Also with the whole people not seeing through eves disguise, Hugh Hackman, Robert Downey jr, and Dollie Parton have lost in their own lookalike contrasts. It’s not far of a stretch to think people don’t put one and one together.

They do a really good job showing what would really happen in a superhero world. We never see the amount of death in Marvel and DC, even though we KNOW people die. I don't think I've seen this said in the comments yet but they've already announced 2 more seasons. 🙏🏾 CANNOT WAIT! And I just ordered the 2nd Compendium 😏 SO ready!

I absolutely loved watching you react to this series. You're so much fun

26:26 "My boy...I'm killing my boy..." ---Dracula, CASTLEVANIA

I'd love to know what material that tailor uses in his suits. They hit Omni with that space laser, and his costume didn't even get singed. Mark flies out of the atmosphere, burning his clothes away, and his costume is fine. They need that tailor to work on those cyborgs, and make them even tougher.

Stunned silence during this episode... haha, I love it.

An army of Mark's? NOT as good as you would think

I often do not relate to Sam's reactions and humor, but I was touched that she seemed to be the only one to tear up when Mark said "You, Dad." Cheers, Sam. Also, 37:00 that identity blindness is a real thing. Celebrities aren't recognized 100% of the time by 100% of people that see them, because most people aren't paying attention to them and many people think they look LIKE the celebrity, instead of actually being them.

Everyone like this for them to react to the boys

I think the king of the martians actually didn't know the viltrumites, he just didn't want to seem dumb, so he lied, like of course I've heard of them.

30:10 @Sam them instantly standing up against tyranny is what theyre symbolizing in that scene after the whole Omni-man ordeal.

Great reaction! This was quite the episode! It hits hard!

The inner conflict inside Omni-Man between how he was raised, what he thinks he has to do and the love of his family is amazing. I'm convinced pretty much everything he said wasn't to convince Mark but to convince himself he was doing the right thing

Finally! Have watched a few reactions to this episode, think this is the first time anyone has actually acknowledged the obvious elephant in the room...Earth or Mark for that matter can not handle one Viltrumite...wtf would they do if a squad or platoon showed up on Earth's doorstep? Viltrum, it's Viltrumites, or villains of true might...in large numbers seems extremely op for anyone to handle.

The mummy was resolved in the episode right after he got resurrected. Mark and Omniman flying by re-sealed the tomb. It was a joke about how little of a problem a mummy would actually be for them.

The one that stayed on Mars is the astronaut that got taken over by a sequid. Thats the one wrecking havoc on Mars rn. And the one that came to earth is a Martian that only shapeshifted into the astronaut that got possessed. Why? Who knows. He wanted to go to Earth for some reason. xD Its a bit confusing how it was shown but yeah.

30:03 monster girl just used another life for herself for no reason lol

Sam's sob at 26:16 is *chef's kiss* that was worth the whole season right there

I think a lot of people don't realize, Omniman isn't trying to convince Mark in this episode. He's saying it all to himself.

season 2 is going to reveal so much everything that nolan does goes way more in to depth

Parker always laugh at scenes when he's not supposed to 😂

5:04 I heard that. Nice to see a fan of Matpat among you.

Thank you for lowering the volume on the screams!

Can't wait for Seeing it incorporated to the 2nd season

And the win goes to Mark with the emotional gut punch

Samantha looked so adorable AWWW

The mummy was just a throw away scene. Lol. A bunch of marks huh? Interesting concept.

19:21 23:07 Their reactions to this is priceless.

That train scene sort of traumatized me the first time I watched it. I had to pause the episode for like a whole minute and repeat "WHAT THE HECK DID I JUST SEE!"

The comic is amazing! I recommend the 3 compendiums

Best summary pre-chapter. Let her do more, so funny.

Bro made the sleepover

Subway scene is whole next level.

37:09 It is a trope in comics that basically no one is recognizing the heros in costume, even if they don't hide their face. I doesn't really make sense but I guess we kind of just have to accept that.

This episode made me cry fr and I never cry in shows lol

That's the first time I've seen Parker so invested and quiet

"Its not to late" Onmi man "yes it is" lol

Loooool I was waiting to see their reaction to this part @12:30 😂🤣
