Hi there, there is this thing called pin comment. U should try it :D

@@TheManiac-nw8ru oh ffs lol, I thought I hit that. Thanks

I highly recommend that you read the rest of the comic. It gets insane. 144 issues and I no lifed it in 4 days cause it was that good.

I wouldn’t even laugh at the writers for trying to create diversity, it’s this stupid “inclusion” politically liberal policy that Amazon has that it requires in its show content. It would make stories like Squid Game, ATLA, and LOTR impossible or untenable to do under Amazon.

The pacing of the comics was a Trainwreck

Well you just secured your place in hell.

Shut up and take my like, you fucking deserve it

@@danielf1833 You have also earned your place in hell. I guess we will all be vibing in hell.

He's still alive at the end seems pretty invincible

@@slimefood4045 Boi he is getting his ass kicked every five minutes, he is only surviving because everyone gets bored

He have a slow regeneration that can cure his severe wounds. Invincible is a symbolic title not a literally he passed through time trough making decisions constantly , being cheated on , to being massacre brutally, to see his love ones beings constantly hurt by his villain or enemies, constantly debating with his enemies or friends. Sometimes, some betrayed him in his back. Yep , Mark is one of those hereoes you wuold not want to be a superheroe at all . He struggle emotionally, financially , carreerise and relationships but he does not give up no matter how much pressure or difficult a situation he try his best to deafeat them or reason with or argue. That is why he is invincible not because he is literally unbeatable.

@Gig Bay Gib Grain that seems to be pretty broken later too though

The title's a grower, not a shower.

Little bit of context you get alternate Dimension Noland who basically explains that he was planning it out he was going to have to do it fast because if he didn't the longer it took him to do it the more likely he would talk himself out of it because he was genuinely friends with some of them but his duty viltrum is more important

Omni man allowed them to severely damage him just so he can dodge a little bit of suspicion

Omni man wouldn't need to do that only the Guardians were called and he's not officially a part of the team that's why in the comics it's a genuine surprise because they assume he's not involved at all

@@scandalouspanda7489 this doesnt make sense, if this was the case Nolan should have killed them DURING the invasion, not through the shadows If terror is your goal, you dont want to make it a secret for too long, thus the real goal was just to clean the earth from its best soldiers, what it makes sense, Immortal, red rush and War Woman did a lot of damage on him, and during a surprise attack where no one of them were near prepared to a fight

Omni-man was fighting himself that's why. The Guardians were his friends. But the mission was more important and had to be done. The other reason that 2 viltrumites can't just chill and save humans. It's counts as a betrayal for the entire viltrum empire. So it's a war crime and to protect his people he has to conquer by himself or they do it and that will be not so pretty. Other races are also a problem because every race hates Viltrumites and want the planet purged. The best way is to protect Earth is to conquer by himself so the Viltumite empire will protect it instead of destroying it. Viltrumites are known to destroy a planet if they can't conquer it.

Damn, I didn't even think about that.

Iirc it's him calling Nolan's bluff on his claim of getting jumped in the dark or something. He suspected it was a lie, since Nolan has amazing perception and wouldn't just get jumped like that.

@@Slaking_ Considering how he could react and counter Red Rush when being attacked, I can definitely see that reasoning

​@@Slaking_which even if they some how didn't know it was him by the time Cecil's men pulled up to Nolan the way he detects the invisible soilder and fucking lodges a damn gun in his head is crazy

To me it is not a theory. That's literally what we see happens in the scene. Cecil keeping and eye in Omniman

If I didn’t read the comic Omni-Man being evil would be much more amazing watching the show, though it still is crazy

@Palpitoad Plays à1a1a1111

Maybe I'm just dumb but I never really questioned what he meant I that scene. Before that I was torn on whether he's actually evil, but that line just made it click "ohh shit so he wants to be the one to conquer earth"

@@MCTogs yeah something the show did really well was keeping you wondering if Omni-Man was actually evil or not. At least for me I was still thinking there was a good reason for everything for a while.

Such an amazing line

All that for a drop of blood.

As a fan of massive explosions, rarely is the weight of their usage given sufficient screen time. Orbital bombardment is the stuff of nightmares. It was an excellent scene to demonstrate the insurmountable wall that is Omniman.

absoluteky, that explosion and the result in the enviroment was really good - only that three cyborg did more damage was really not that great.

Take it as foreshadowing for of all places but marvel with the line ‘if you can make god bleed, people will cease to believe in him’

@@DTheWhiteWolfD it's usually like that, but they manage to erase that feeling with Omni-man, even if they make him bleed i kept on thinking that he was unstoppable

I also just like the, "demon who's actually the morally righteous character" trope. it sounds kinda cliche but I haven't seen it done before

@@jackoster7115 I’d recommend checking Hellboy movies comics etc. It’s literally the entire premise.

made me smile

The difference is, up until that episode, Nolan was not abusive.

@Shin Shaman dog ur whole channels is trash ima be honest

Egh, this isn't always true. Look at Stephen's King "The Shinning". Kubrick's adaptation is a classic while the King involved mini series is not. TV, Movies, Books, and comics need different things to work. Jumping from one format to the next you have to understand how they are different and how the audience is also different. Also the pacing of receiving the story. It's one thing to take something in a binge and another for you to show up to a comic store every week for a new issue and be motivated to do so. People picking up the Invincible comic now are getting it in anthology form, which was not the case back at release. In fact, it was called too slow with it's reveal not to fast where as the TV series murders the Guardians of the Globe right away and then builds a series around the whys. It actually drops the hook faster. When translating a work from one format to another some authors/writers are really good at improving the work in translation or making it at least as good as it's other format while others are terrible at it because they don't understand the difference between works. Sometimes authors improved their work in adaptation and other times they kinda ruin it if they are too involved and don't know how to let things go that don't work in the new format.

@@TheDawnofVanlife Usually lol...Stephen King is a tbh overrated writer.

@@gnarlyburrito5123 True, but I still think someone who writes novels/graphic novels/comics doesn't always know how to write movies or TV or even use animation to it's best potential. A writer of one format isn't always good in another format. While I do not think original authors should be ignored by studios in adaptation, original authors also need to know when another format is not there forte. And that's ok. It's ok to be just a good novelist or just a good screen writer or just a good comic book writer. They are different styles with different needs.

@@TheDawnofVanlife some writers struggle with pacing or translating their words in a film yes, but most of the time writers work with a screenwriter to make it into a film format. Stephen King doesn't ever do that. Man works alone or leaves it completely to the director/screenwriter

@@gnarlyburrito5123 I mean we are always going to have the flaws of human hubris as a factor, but plenty of successful adaptations didn't have the original author involved (sometimes cause they are dead at the point of adaptation) but I don't think they *need* to be involved for it to be good, the adapter just needs to have respect for what the fans love about it. Usually things get adapted to carry over a fan base. I'm just saying the involvement of the original writer, depending on the type of person the writer themselves are, could be bad or good. And I don't think the lack of involvement of the original writer is an automatic handicap or boon to the process. It really depends on the writers involved (adapters and original author) and overall respect for the work in adaptation.

The fight in the comics was a page or 2 with each death being a single panel

don't get me wrong I prefer the show over the comic in this scene, but him killing the guardians so fast was made so they didn't had the chance to respond, he prepared himself for the moment. We've seen so much of this in real life, a kid for some reason kill his family in like 10 minutes, that because that came outta nowhere

@@mikhaelgribkov4117 it's not easy to condense a bunch of issues for comics in eight episodes and Jojo definitely is not the best example when it comes to consistency

@@brimward122 please, any worth your time anime manages to adapt in 20 minutes at least 2 issues of material and sometimes straight up 5, while trying best to stay close to main story. Invincible doesn't even try when it has pretty much double episodes on it's side to get most of source material, but chooses to sabotage itself by changing most of characterization and plot beats. Animating isn't easy, but I have seen better shows which manage to hide cheapness of shots through clever directing, a thing Invincible can only dream. JoJo is perfect display of being originality in presentation and managing adapt in 39 episodes 100+ chapters, while respecting source. Again, quality of unknown for Invincible with their Amber and whole Omni-man strength issue and taking 16 episodes worth of time to adapt 14 issues and shoe horning later plot points with no taste.

@@mikhaelgribkov4117 "cartoon bad anime good I swear I'm not a weeb"

@@mikhaelgribkov4117 bruh Jojo’s consistency in the earlier parts are just as bad as what you claim invincible is. And moments lost to animation is also apparent in Jojos. Take part 1, where they take out moments of speedwagon helping out the gang which ends up with him just looking like a sideline commentator in the anime instead of a genuine bro that also helped out whenever he can, or part 3 where they cut out some bits of Jotaro showing other emotions so in the anime he came across as more of the stoic edgelord instead of a guy that genuinely cares about his friends and family that hides that behind a stoic facade. Plus Jojo had way more episodes per season compared to invincible so if anything Invincible did a great job making the series while also improving on old moments

@@nanda12345ful bruh, what? We are talking about adaptation and anime adapts manga, so what the issue? Are you so pathetic to make strawman and not engage the argument? Want to know cartoons I respect? Rise Of TMNT, for being fresh air in animation industry which lacked action cartoons and be bold AU which set uped stuff and only then gone for twists. It's sad that it got cut short. Kid Cosmic is everything Invincible should have been. Show which builts up facade of just parody adventure to then hit hard with twists. For real, I'm weird out how good that show got structure and spirit of Invincible first comic arc better than official adaptation. It even got dark humor and big kill count, add some blood and you're set.

“Invincible season 2, Dad. And Season 3”

@@4cocacola4 season two of "title card"

SPOILER FOR THE COMIC Well I hope you have read the comic cuz Imma drop some spoilers. Yes guardians of the globe alone may not be a threat to even a single viltrumite but you have to remember that the Viltrumite is also an endangered species, what Earth's superheroes may lack in strength they make up for the sheer amount of superpowered beings on earth. Additionally Viltrumites don't always take over planets with sudden and violent takeover everytime, they also do forceful "negotiation" hence why Omni Man had to take out Guardians of the Globe first as they are basically Earth's first line of defense and most likely to retaliate. He probably did it to attack earth's inhabitant morale.

I don't really think comic omniman felt more powerful, it was that the guardians felt weaker

Also remember when Mark went back in time before the Guardians Of The Glove was killed and they were able to beat Omni Man when they weren’t being sneak attacked. So they were a threat.

Man, I feel like I took a whiplash when I realized it was Whiplash.

Whiplash Reference

Fletcher would slaughter Omni-Man

i think some comics do that, except its because of plot armor or their friends swooping in or the hero going super saiyan

@@idonotpost1456 yeah, and granted invincible was for plot, but it hit harder because of the connection that Mark and Nolan have

Comic spoiler. Mark actually remembers that line at the end of the comic. He qouted what Nolan asked him "What will you have after five hundred years?".

*Insert bvs martha comment

It's more of the fact that he's not mad at his father after everything he put him through, and the fact that Nolan was denying his true feelings the entire time, and only said that hurtful stuff to get done what he needed to get done.

The leap in quality once Ryan Ottley took over and got his footing is crazy

Adding to this, in one of the Penvincipals section of the comic (answering fan letters basically) Kirkman revealed that he did not at all expect Invincible to sell so well, he thought he maybe just had the time and pages to do 20-something issues, fortunately he got way more and was able to finish the story the way he wanted to

It still was a good comic

I read the entire comic after watching the show, the show 100% makes all the moments more impactful and better. A lot of moments have been moved around, a lot of the events in the show happen after omniman has left the planet, and it works way more in the show. Kirkman definitely learnt and got better even throughout the comic and now onto this show

@@ktp01 pad doggie guy

In the penvincipals for the last issue he explained that he actually had to move the guardians fight up to chapter 7?? Instead of the 20s or 30s where he initially planned for it to go

I almost choked on my food 😭

Hammer-time was also good

I guess training went off the rails.

I just got this!

he just wanted some subway dude

I did too

He would have but didn't so that Debbie could lol it's not a mystery It was a choice made for the sake of Debbie's agency as a character

@@pureevil9496 I mean yeah, I know why they made that choice in terms of narrative, but within the logic of the universe it makes no sense. When crafting a story you have to ensure there's internal logical consistency, otherwise it doesn't matter how many narrative moments you have, because those moments will lose their emotional weight. Sure, this one isn't a HUGE deal, but compared to how well made the rest of Invincible was, this plot hole stuck out like a sore thumb to me.

@@pureevil9496 Before answering, think if the one who asked the question wanted a in-universe answer or a out-universe answer.

My guess is he either knew that doing so would instantly make Nolan suspicious of him, and possibly trigger an early attack. Cecil most likely suspected Nolan from the very start, and felt that keeping Nolan as unaware of the investigation's outcome as possible was better than doing it right by tipping him off. Alternatively, if he did do forensics Nolan could've just ran the "I was mind controlled" excuse, which isn't outlandish given it's what the Guardians themselves expected. The end result is the same anyway, Cecil doesn't buy it and Nolan is prime suspect.

It's a small twist that gets overlooked, but in Episode 7 when Debbie tells Cecil that Omni-man is the murderer, Cecil replies, "I know." And it's revealed that Cecil's actions up to now: the surveillance, the investigation, all his pussy-footing around, was to discover *why* Nolan killed the Guardians, not if. Cecil didn't overlook anything, he knew the whole time.

100th like,first comment and billionth didn't ask cliché

Unique tells quite a few jokes. Luckily it didn't DERAIL the essay!

Did not know that it was monthly. I am sure many story moments were cramped together to try to keep attention spans. I wonder if there are weekly or bi-weekly american comics?

@@josesosa3337 sometimes depends on the series

@@cheetahluv210 Yep. Or publisher.

I don't think the pacing was fast at all when I read the comics. I felt like the pacing was too slow. Overall, the real problem was of structure, and not pacing. The comics spend a lot of time being sidetracked in the earlies until the Omni-man's revalation to Mark. The Amazon series fixed this by restructuring the order of events and adding meat to what was already there.

@@josesosa3337 weekly comics are a rarity because of how much work they take, so those are often cut down to comic-strips instead. Bi-weekly comics do happen, but most artists tend to frequently miss deadlines. So generally comics in America tend to go the monthly/bi-monthly route.

but because his spirit is, in a way, actually [TITLE CARD]

@@whinebite i mean of course, that's why he was called [BLOODY TITLE CARD]

Yea its like Mark has indomitable willpower which is the invincible thing he’s just not indestructible

Damn, didn't even notice that, thx man

Ya he had the spoiler alert, balls and determination to fight the strongest viltrumite to ever live in the sun and win

I think it worked better in the comic because there Mark was actually taking over for his dad and he assumed Cecil would keep his mother safe plus he wanted to make amends for his father. Plus early on he had nowhere near the doubt that he has in the show about being a superhero

@@jasonjones3328 Plus Cecil paid for him to go to college. That’d put a lot of people in a good mood for at least that instant. The comic does at least show later on that Mark and Debbie are still recovering from Nolan’s betrayal.

@@jasonjones3328 yeah exactly, the guardians are dead, omni man just left the planet, his mom is a wreck and he still has to worry about his academic career in the comics. Cecil's offer in the comics helps mark to feel he can make a difference about each of these situations - each of which he has personal investment in. Think that's something this video misses in general, that stories are more about characters than events. It's true the show is stacked more back to back with big events than the comic, but the characters actually suffer the same depth of development they do in the comics (I know he talked about the guardians and impact etc, but that's breadth of development not depth - seeing lots of reactions to big events actually gives us less to really care about than seeing the consistency of a family that cares for each other in the little ways day to day for several issues). Seeing people go :o at an event or have drama every episode isn't the same thing as really getting to know the ins and outs of what feels like a healthy family, and then intimately feeling the effects of the betrayal of its patriarch and how it makes the family structure fracture.

@@MabinogiChristianJ so you're basically saying that you liked the high focus on Marks family and how something so sudden like betrayal affected them. (Superhero version) lol

@@Juju-co8ys Yeah, basically I guess. I think the way things were laid out in the comics worked better - when you feel almost as blindsided as Mark when you find out what Omni man has done because he's been characterized as just a normal dad to mark. In the show I felt like they telegraphed way harder and made him have way more questionable and aggressive moments so it's really not as much of a twist that Omni wasn't exactly who he appeared to be. Also the characters feel more like people and less like CW drama teens in the comic. In the show there are a bunch of moments where people have disagreements or fights where they just... didn't need to (the first one that comes to mind is when mark and his mom get snippy with each other on the rooftop for no good reason). And on that note a lot of the characters like Mark's mom and ofc the now infamous Amber are just weirded in their characterization because it feels like they're trying to give them more development, not realizing that a contrived character with lots of time devoted to them is still less impactful than a genuine-feeling character who has almost no screentime. Just a whole bunch of little things basically that end up adding up in the end.

So was JFK's

The best thing about Berserk is that the exposition isnt just exposition. It is its own separate story that can work all by itself and doesnt necessarily need to be continued. (But luckily still got its continuation) The Golden Age Arc feels like a tragedy with beginning middle and end, but is in actuality just a flashback and is the setup for the actual story. The lost children arc can also be read separately and tells a small story, which is why its falsely accused of being filler. But putting all these arcs together makes it this big epic puzzle of storys, which are all linked and all share their themes and characters and make it into one detailed Masterpiece. RIP Kento Miura

I cant express how grateful and happy i feel when i see people who actually get the story,and the reason why it is so slow paced. Because we were not ready for the eclipse. The shock and betrayal i felt when griffith became femto and raped casca and killed his "friends" . Ive never felt such hatred more like a salty sour feeling,knowing that griffith didnt get his karma that he deserves and shines like a literal god that he is,whereas guts is living into the shadows. And i love how the author miura said that the story is actually a shoujo,a love triangle between casca,griffith and guts,i just wanna see how those 3 will end up

@@fayHoran I must admit, even though I myself am not gay, I did ship Griffith and Guts before the Eclipse. I mean in the ball room of the midland king griffith looked pretty bored and soulless until he saw guts outside smiling at him. Then he smiled back, with something that looked like genuine happiness. Also griffith after the Eclipse acts like that sterotypical ex girlfriend that tries to pretend that she doesn't care about you anymore. But maybe thats just my weird interpretation

Also wanted to make a comment on Berserk, surprised I wasn't the only one Berserk just has this mega-packed long buildup to moments It feels like instead of taking 7 episodes to build up that key moment in invincible they took 40 episodes and pack them full of plot Berserk also doesn't only have your eclipses like Invincible had the s1 finale, it's also filled up with "smaller" important moments like the scenes with the Beast or that one ultra satisfying moment with Rickert that I do not wanna spoil

@@mareklonestar7053 if you think about it,femto and griffith are the same. For griffith,everything is about guts. Naturally we would ship them,because our narcissus griffith who regarded guts as his equal friend realised that guts was superior through their battle and he couldnt stop thinking of guts telling him "no" even while fucking others. He always got what he wanted so his world was shook to Guts turning him down and his desire that guts will do what he wants. He wanted to let guts know that he is superior. I cant particularly hate griffith,because he is a very complex and interesting character,but i wonder if guts ever wondered why griffith did all this to him. I wonder if he knew that all griffith wants is to be equal or superior to guts how would he react? His trust was betrayed and his heart broken but im curious whether we will ever see griffith confessing to guts that he did all this,rape casca and letting them both live, just to prove to him his superiority and furious emotions because he lost to Guts once. Their relationship is god tier made by miura,what a genious.

Huh interesting... the more you know.

I wouldn't call Kirkman an "unproven talent" when he started Invincible though. Walking dead had already been running for a while and was quite popular.

@@hobbes4011 Invincible started about 10 months prior to Walking Dead. Before Invincible, Kirkman did some short runs on other Image superhero books.

I mean they could have made a mystery comic where Omniman kills the Guardians at the end of the first issue but we never see the assailant and have to go on the journey with the characters.

Yeah but it means the show is spoiled for the majority of people:(

@@emptyoliveold1114 True. I didn’t see anything other than the picture though, and never very closely, so I went in without it being too bad. I deliberately avoided any video memes to avoid understanding any context. Plus after the end of the first episode, you know something like that is probably coming eventually. My brother on the other hand basically watched the whole monologue before seeing the show.

I watched the scene but had zero context, so had no idea omniman was evil. I thought maybe mark was fucking some shit up and omniman had to stop him or something, so was still a huge shock when omniman killed the guardians - schafrilla has a really good video about how invincible has the perfect twist villain even though they gave him away in episode 1

Same!

Not really actually, I thought personally when I saw the meme it was this more powerful superhero (based off omni mans build) giving a younger superhero Mark a Pep talk

Glad to hear the original creator is involved with these changes. I mean I’m impressed at how much they’ve been legitimate improvements that take these scenarios further and not someone screwing up the main story like I’ve scene of other adaptations.

Kirkman is like the exact opposite of Alan Moore when it comes to adaptations.

I mean to be fair if they were that much of a threat that does also bring up why he didn't just kill them off separately

@@mikemorro140 Element of surprise. If he killed any Guardian, he would have to rush and find all the others before the death was discovered, or they would be alert and prepared for next attack. And maybe he didn´t know their secret identities. So luring them all together to one place is probably best. And he did seem surprised/annoyed that they put up as much of a fight as they did. That wasn´t the plan.

Well it has because he alone was assigned this mission and because he wanted to go through with it as mark got his powers he had to kill the toughest defense to earth being the guardians

@@johnyshadow He did know their identities though as it's established that they were all friends and apparently Red Rush's wife was living close enough that Debbie could sell their house.

Well, spoilers, but by the end of the comic Mark is sent back in time and warns the Guardians of the Globe of Nolan. And they actually dispatch him without any losses. They were the best of the best and were a threat and had to be taken out by surprise.

You can keep the old version around in an archive while still replacing it with something better and more polished, that better shows new readers what quality of writing and art they can expect if they continue reading, instead of them being turned away due to starting issues the author has since grown out of

can someone decipher this lol

@@Arionid "Looking at your comic, it's good. Keep what you thought were mistakes, it's also growth... a reminder of where you started as a writer." Or atleast that's what I thought they said. For the cheese part, it's midnight where I am and I don't have the mental capacity to think about it lol. Maybe Uniquenameosaurus is secretly cheese and only they know.

Also to shill his comic as well

@@Arionid "Looking at your comic, It's good. Keep what you thought were mistakes. It's also growth, a footnote of where you started, As a writer, you cheat sometimes."

That's true, but I think he has a lot more fun in the show. In the comics, he's kind of an asshole to mark, almost a bully, constantly teasing him and getting mad at him, whining a lot, etc, with no other personality traits. In the show, he's a likeable (or at least enjoyable to watch) character.

@@manspaghetti6351 He is certainly likable and, as a pansexual person who is gay leaning, his opinions on Omni-Man were spot on. Nolan is super hot and that mustache is top tier and as soon as William said that I fell in love with the character, a little bit of representation (even through comedy) is very appreciated.

@@manspaghetti6351 That's not entirely true. The comic William is more understated, plus there is a great running joke with the "dude, that's totally gay." Comic William is just trying to be a bro who can be a douche. William in the show is the sassy gay boy cranked up to 11. I think they are both mediocre characters in different ways. Book Williams also has a really impactful reveal where you discover near the end that he actually was in love with Mark the whole time while they were in high school, but didn't want to ruin their friendship, which also explains why he acted out. there is no way you could do that with show William.

@@REDDAWNproject Exactly, I also feel more of a connection to comic William because me and my friends have the same dynamic irl.

@@arlaux1099 I read that as "gay learning" and I was so confused

More like “WTF HE JUST FUCKING KILLED ALL OF THEM”

@@hupalodan no specifically the fishman

"Finally some action" - Fishman, 10 minutes before

Red Rush getting his head crushed a few minutes before Fishman: "Am I a joke to you?"

Is it me or does the show not submerging us in gore really make those moments feel tragic. And in turn makes the heroics better in contrast to when the heroes are losing.

eh find some of that bad dna remained in the rest of the series.

The Twins were like (to me), Venture Bros. levels of good. Funny, smart and idiotic at the same time, and both simple and complex. How they were designed for the show really is a masterclass example of not just worldbuilding, but characterbuilding.

Some of the best lines throughout the entire series. Can't wait to see more of them.

He mentions earlier in the episode “I perceive time as fast as my speed. A common conversation feels like hours.” when he was talking to his wife. It only makes his death worse to think about

His and the green ghost lady’s death bothered me for some reason more than any of the others , also when it came down to the last ones they knew it was either him or them , that part was suspenseful, damn he messed them up bravo for this show

A head squash wouldn't have been super impactful to me, but the fact that he was punching Omni Man's chest the entire time, breaking his own hands and *continuing to punch with said broken hands* really sold that he was desperately trying to survive no matter what. Personally, the green lady's death was the most disturbing to me. The way his hand pierced through her head and her entire body instantly went limp. Like fuck! That used to be a person!

@@RacingSnails64 I've heard that the green lady said "oh no" because when she caught Dark Wing and became 'touchable' she knew OmniMan was able to kill her

@@fettycheese2498 That's why the scene is in slow motion, it doesm't look like it becaude both red rush and omniman are fast as fuck, but it is if you look at red rush's punches

He is super fucking hot in the show oh my god, I’m gay leaning and when William echoed my opinion I felt so valid.

"I'm gay leaning", what in the F does that even mean, my dude?

@@HopefulNihilist While I’m fine dating and having sex with women, men, and non-binary people I am more attracted to masculine people and especially men. Therefor, since my tastes lean towards men and very masculine people, I am gay leaning. TL;DR Basically, I’ll fuck anyone independent of how they identify BUT men are increadibly attractive and I want to have sex with them more.

@@arlaux1099 As a gay man my experience was just like you. HE IS SUPER HOT.

@@arlaux1099 So... Bisexual. You're bisexual.

I also cracked up at the "train" joke.

Also if u already watched s1 start at chapter 60

@@zhanieldawkins7129 I disagree, if you’re reading the comic it’s best to start at the first issue. Some characters are changed and some storylines are cut for the show. The plot is similar but I’d recommend starting from the beginning

Thanks for saving me some time to write a comment

To be exact, he was closeted/in denial(he did date Eve for a while before finally settling with Rick)

Also foreshadowed when he asks to go flying with mark and later, eve.

A bit? More like halfway through if not more then that.

Yeah

Your punctuation pleases me.

@@jamsheeddevotee7588 lmao

@@jamsheeddevotee7588 Yes, a dangerous post indeed. The punctuation is right.

That bit let me know that this series understands a great protagonist. Mark is the kind of guy that can use Talk-no-jutsu lol.

You’ve evolved.....

@Shin Shaman yes yes, you're very special for going against the current mainstream popular thing and liking something old and completely explored. Good for you

Did you change your pfp?

@Shin Shaman Copy-pasting your troll comment?

Yes, Nolan had the surprise factor and killed the MVP first, the guardians had some real chance of winning if Red Rush focused only on giving support for the team, imagine if they knew they would be fighting Omniman?

@@galanothi They would've won, they had to ass pull his death to let Omni win

@@cameronpack3965 No? At least they gave them a chance here, in the comics he literally just stomped them all with zero difficulty.

Holy fucking shit, it him.

@@fishonmydish7774 he should powerscaling wise stomp them. You do not get yet how DUMB viltrumites are. For the story reson and viewer engagement it was much better to give them a seeming chance.

I only feel like the first 2 arcs were a bit rushed, I really hope they don’t change much afterwards

The show isn't much better about rushing character arcs. The Reanimen (and thus Williams only plot relevant arc) was a one episode thing.

@@fantasyconnect I don't see how that's a bad thing,does William really need a two episode arc?

@@somethingswrongicanfeelit5688 He's supposed to be Mark's best friend. A bunch of shitty one off characters have been made more plot relevant. Like Darkblood. They made a literal joke relevant and then made a character that should be important irrelevant.

@@somethingswrongicanfeelit5688 Also the reanimen arc is sprinkled inbetween a few different arcs. So it wouldn't have been two episodes, it would've been an actual long running subplot. Rick isn't just Williams boyfriend, he was an actual character who was friends with both of them. The Amber scene is put in a really stupid context due to the change etc etc.

And damn, was that a good reveal. I'm actually sad just how show ruined it by episode 1.

@@mikhaelgribkov4117 Men, i've seen you across several comment section just to shit on the animated show, i love your perseverance

@@mikhaelgribkov4117 Omniman's reveal as a villain in the comics after some numbers gave readers a good surprise but the effect only lasted a while. The reveal happening at the beginning gave the watchers suspense about him, the watchers instead of focusing in those making the investigation, focused on how Omniman was hidding his trails and kept them waiting for the reveal.

I’d argue that Mark was the weakest part of the show because everything involving him was filler while the “main plot” was dealt on Omni-Man’s side of the show

@@pn2294 when you put it like that I mean it makes sense but the point of that is to build up his experience and strength and character. In season 2 he shall be the main focus

One thing from the show that I noticed from the comics that they revealed very very early is that the big flaxen guy during the alien invasion is actually monster girls son when robot and monster girl get stuck in the flaxen universe for about 700 years but only age 12 years

But then again maybe it was unintentional.

i just binged it today....did not feel rushed...felt slow at times xD helloooo amazon 10 second foward skip button....

False. Did you read it all or just comment based on the video? The comics built a huge ass house, it just wasn't built in a "season" like the show. I have read it all multiple times. Both have their shining moments and differences worth having. I prefer what the show is doing for the tv format. The comics got it right for that format.

@@vaderguitarplayer I am reading the comics, and I’ve gone past at least chapter 13 and IMO it really felt rather rushed, this could also be because I’m generally reading manga where they take their time a bit more but that’s how i see it.

@@sirapple2406, this is because you are comparing the two. The show decided to slow down and focus on things the comics didn't. The comics get to where it needs to be focussing on other things. Chapter 13 is not enough to guage it by. That is only enough to compare where the story is with the show, and of course the show jammed more in there to show relationships and other important factors the comics get to. In the comics there is a long period where mark gets used to his powers. Once he gets a little comfortable the story picks up more like the show.

@@vaderguitarplayer what you said about showing off the relationships is exactly what I was talking about, when I was reading the comic it felt like a lot of things were left up in the air, whereas the show really showed me the relationships between the characters. It added more punch to the big fight and mystery with Omni man. To use my previous statement: the house the comic built felt much less stable than the one the show built.

@@sirapple2406, less stable because you have not read that much. Lol This girlfriend, forgot her name, is of no real importance in the comics aside from a bridge to get to Eve, where the relationship actually means something.
