Invincible 2x7 Reaction | I'm Not Going Anywhere

[@joegreene7619]

The metacommentary about animation timing and tricks is sheer brilliance.

[@danielsos9824]

it's straight from the comic, a perfect adaptation

[@liliaeth]

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

[@AnotherScribbler]

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

The animation joke was translated for the show. In in the comic, it was about how they reuse the same image for multiple panels

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

[@Tantalus010]

Amber: Mark, I don't want to, but we need to break up because being with you puts me in danger. Mark: Amber, I know, and I'm sorry. I don't want to lose you but I can't bear the thought of putting you in danger. Let's break up. **later on, aboard the Viltrumite ship** Kregg: Alright, we need to check on Invincible's progress taking over Earth. Let's check his...social media to see what he's saying to the people of Earth. What's this? Mark's relationship status is single? He and that Earth woman broke up? Well, I guess she's off-limits now. Anissa: Sir, are you serious? He probably still cares about her; I mean, they probably only broke up because I threatened her life. We could still use her to get to hi- Kregg: Silence, Anissa! We are villains and as such we will abide by the long villain tradition of only targeting a superhero's _current_ partner! Targeting exes is just plain gross. Who is Mark dating now? Anissa: You said his profile says he is single, sir. Kregg: Touche, Invincible. Touche.

[@tjarkschweizer]

Now I kinda want Kregg to be comical like this.

[@gremmythoumeaux2393]

I can’t imagine any good reason to give Amber any more slander after this. She may have been annoying about the whole secret identity thing back in Season 1 but she has done nothing but be a very supportive girlfriend and really did try to make the relationship work. The way they handled the breakup was very mature and mutual. Even though they didn’t want to stop seeing each other, they both understand the consequences just by being involved could bring. Poor Amber got mixed up in all this and almost died to someone Mark doesn’t even know just because of who he is, and it’s no surprise that was the last straw.

[@antkemp]

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

[@wwfnbafan]

I feel for Rudy tbh. Growing up the way he did has to make understanding communication really hard. They don't teach communication skills to tube people.

[@nekoaltman305]

I don’t think it’s selfish with Rudy/Robot. He said it last season when he got his new body. He was able to overcome his “prison” and wants to help monster girl do the same. He just also has zero social skills so his words come across wrong, like “let me fix you”

[@knightheaven8992]

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.

[@OceanHedgehog]

Donald is an amazing character. Cecil is the brains of the GDA. Donald is the heart.

[@WestPartChronicles]

I felt inner peace as I saw Allen is strong & durable enough to withstand and fight a viltrumite!

[@gabrielskillzz3063]

Rudy “LeT mE fiX yOu” Connors

[@elderbrew6249]

Honestly, I see Mark and Cecil kinda like Superman and Batman. Cecil is Batman, looking for ways to keep Superman in check if he ever turns evil. Cecil just wants to protect people, but has that government shade going on.

[@LuxLoser]

I don't think Rudy has selfish intent, just control issues. If Monster Girl keeps deaging, she'll eventually become a toddler or a baby, and will lose mental faculties. She needs to do something about it, or she's going to have to stop being a hero for a few years to regain speech.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

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.

[@LuxLoser]

@@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.

[@corbanb5]

when you call out Alan you have the same happy face, some volume and tone everytime.

[@TheParagade]

I'm so glad they brought Octoboss into the show, he's my absolute favorite bit character from the comics. He's so earnest and dedicated about learning the English language, even if he's not the best at it!

[@nealhoffman7518]

What i loved most about the season 2 conversation is it parallels a scene in the comic about reusing panels

[@JustGrowingUp84]

36:30 "Can he do that?" she asks, while doing "that" multiple times. That made me chuckle, thank you!

[@Furious_styles9]

In my opinion Monster Girl needs to let go of her ego and actively find a solution to her problem. Nothing good comes out of her aging backwards each time sooooooo yeah, she does need some fixing lol

[@silverdongsaeng2873]

OH GOD SHE'S HERE!

[@captaincrunch416]

While I understand where you are coming from concerning robot's attempts to help monster girl, I have to disagree with you. Monster girl is choosing "freedom" over her own good. If she comtinues to use her powers she will eventaully cease to be Monster Girl, just like she stopped being Monster Woman. . It is a form of self harm, and if the Guardians of the Globe cared about her at all, they would give her an intervention.

I laughed very hard when we got that conversation at Comic-Con. Such a good breaking the fourth wall. And as long as I've wanted for Mark and Samantha a relationship, Mark's and Amber's breaking up was hard to watch. And Anissa's voice actress also played Butcher's wife in "The Boys". Also I'm gonna start the comic book series to catch all the diferences and be ahead of a storyline.

I don't believe Anissa IS stronger than Nolan (the kaiju in this episode was not the same as Hail Mary from season 1; the only times we've seen Nolan go all out were against other full-strength Viltrumites, such as when he disembowelled Lucan), but she is definitely extremely strong.

[@ConcreteLogicVideo]

I replied this to someone, but I think it bears repeating. Dealing with some minor spoilers is just a hazard of watching an adaptation of something that has existed for years. I get that spoilers are annoying, but her introduction is something worth commenting on among the comic readers. While getting pseudo-spoilers about some character's importance to a show might bother you, people have to understand that constantly having to creep around all the most exciting and important stuff while constantly being yelled at for it is also obnoxious. I feel like most people are doing their best to allude to stuff with fellow readers without spoiling the important stuff. Most of us are trying to find a good middle. I mean, is the fact that an obvious villain is hated really that much of a spoiler anyway? I think you just have to live with some level of spoilers because you can't just force everyone who has read the comics to sit quietly in a corner for the next 5 years.

[@funnylilgalreacts]

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.

[@davidbodor1762]

36:30 - So actually I always had an issue with this entire trope. Why bother going after the Hero's love interest specifically, when literally any person could achieve the same result? To a real hero, there is no difference between saving a random bystander and saving their loved ones, they should try equally as hard in both cases. If the goal of the villain is to draw the hero out, it doesn't matter who they kidnap, the hero is going to show up anyways, because that's what being a hero is. Say Anissa here grabbed a waiter instead, Mark would have done the exact same thing, he'd still have to go talk to her else someone dies. He's a hero, he's supposed to care about everyone not just the people he is with. So I don't see any chance of Mark not going to talk to Anissa in that scenario. From a villain point of view there's literally no reason to waste extra time trying to find out a hero's secret identity to go after a person they care about when their job is to care about everyone. Literally grab the nearest person and you've got the same effect. The only case for grabbing a love interest that I can see is if the villain doesn't actually have a plan and they're not rational, they just want to hurt a hero they have a grudge against. Even then, I'd say Omniman killing civillians indiscriminately in front of Mark is just as disturbing as if Anissa were to actually kill Amber. Levi for example appears to want to draw mark out by going after Debbie, but realistically he could have just grabbed literally any person from off the street and done the same. Mark would go no matter what. The only reason Levi grabbed Debbie and not someone else is because he's irrational and obsessed with vengeance at this point. But again, he could have just done an Omniman 2 especially with his portal powers.

[@highlander31527]

You're giving Anissa too much credit. She's not a thinker. Anissa knows who Mark is. Anissa sees Mark. Anissa lands close to him, and threatens nearest human if Mark does not comply. She didn't plan to threaten Mark's girlfriend. Nearest human just happens to be Amber. Anissa follows Mark to monster. Mark tries to defeat it, and it takes Anissa a minute to figure out that: A: Mark is too weak to stop it. B: Mark is trying to subdue it rather than kill it. So Anissa kills it in one hit to stop wasting time. Anissa is a great warrior, but she is definitely not one for deep thought.

[@salad3955]

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

[@BourneFreeATL]

Rudy is trying to relate to her like a robot. It's a different kind of "clueless" than Rex's. To a "robot" being "fixed" is awesome. Monster girl's struggle with her curse keeps HER from being empathetic to Rudy's innocence in his trying to connect. This is very clever character writing, imo.

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.

[@tlf2818]

I've been frustrated with Amber and Mark's relationship for a long time. I've never thought they worked that well together. But I really appreciate how long the show let them be together, because that's how difficult it is to get away from someone you love. We've all been there, trying and trying to be with someone even when we know it's not going to work out. I guess it's just a way of spending the most time we've possibly got together before the relationship inevitably ends. The problem is the longer it goes, higher are the stakes, tougher is the blow. Plus, the writers demonstrate again and again how much knowledge they have of their own show and audience. Relationships are complicated. We don't resolve them in an instant. It takes time and maturity - maturity we're not supposed to expect from youngsters like Amber and (especially) Mark. And the writers pushed through our frustration and impatience and eye rolling because they knew they could deliver a well developed bad relationship.

Not quite fair to Mark suggesting that he saw his mom's pain and went on with Amber anyway. Remember his mom said she didn't regret meeting him, and that the worst portions were when Nolan was gone -- but that can apply to any job that takes one half away for a while, it's whether the time they spend together is enough to make up for it. In Debbie's case, it seems it was -- remember that their relationship at the beginning of the first season, before Nolan's betrayal, almost seemed like 'couple's goals'. Mark's situation isn't quite the same though, as Mark obviously still hasn't reached the level of power Nolan had, nor the level of ruthlessness that I assume Nolan had throughout, so Mark's involvement with a norm is a lot more dangerous. I'm sure had anybody even threatened to mess with Debbie they would have found their head shoved up their grandparent's behind.

[@SebasTian58323]

Honestly, I'm still not sure i like how they're handling Monster Girl's curse compared to the comics. If I'm not mistaken, she and Rudy had already agreed he would keep try to find a way to prevent her from ageing and she was more frustrated that nothing was working.

[@highlander31527]

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.

[@soccertl]

Mark needs to be with Eve.

[@stsamurai_]

I love anytime they have a Viltrumite show up. You can tell Mark is getting slowly stronger, since he got OBLITERATED when he fought Omni-Man. He’s not getting absolutely battered around like he used to, and it seems like his fighting skills are getting a lot better - since he can’t just use raw strength anymore because his opponents know how to use theirs infinitely better. Still a long way to go before he can contend with Viltrumites consistently though.

[@KilvinTheOdd]

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

[@JustGrowingUp84]

@@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.

if I was Mark and Anissa just dropped on me like that, I'd be like "Hello, there" and THEN proceed to not-comply to her, to then win her over with human charm. ....mostly because Amber wouldn't even be in the picture, for being me fully aware how stupid humans are, for not realizing how relationships *can be used as leverage,* especially WHEN BEING HUMANS FULLY AWARE OF HOW THERE EXIST BEINGS WITH FAR SUPERIOR POWER TO THAT OF A HUMAN, *AND WITH THE SOLE BARRIER BETWEEN BOTH OF THEM BEING **_THE GOVERNMENT_* it's like people think the government is this all-powerful barrier that will protect them from germs if they so fail to wash their hands after wiping their own asses wrong. I don't even trust my mom to season food correctly, and you want to trust the government? to protect you from threats *on Earth?* let alone VILTRUMITES?!

[@GenghisDon1970]

I'm really enjoying your reactions & ideas on the show. On the specific bit re: Mark talking to his mom about Amber, and the matter of her & his dad, I'm not at all surprised with what he did. You seemed to think he'd break up with her aftewards, but to me, that would be nigh impossible (ie only if Mark thought his mom was bad/wrong/dumb/whatever). It's completely obvious & predictable to me, but maybe that's a gender hardware thing? When Mark is clearly thinking, "ok, maybe it's doomed", his Mom responded extremely positively that she definitely wouldn't NOT wanted to have met Nolan, had the family, and so on. SHE WOULDN'T REJECT THE PAST WITH NOLAN, EVEN NOW. Just it was hard, especially the lonely times. So Mark, KNOWING FULL WELL HIS MOM IS AWESOME, thinks, well Amber is also awesome, so I definitely should continue, and try harder, MAKE the time so the bad parts his mom describes do not happen. (Avoiding lies/truth=better was double checked on, earlier on, too). Mark is checking the boxes, taking all his mom said as lessons, 100%. Even if you didn't see it that way, hell even if Mark didn't, he clearly has huge respect & faith in his mom/her perspectives & what he did totally, 100% flows right from that talk. GUYS SEEK TO FIX THINGS. Even if we aren't usually as stunted as Rudy, it's still how we operate. So while women are likely to merely be trying to share an emotional experience or the like, a guy generally listens to the same and hears problems, errors, pitfalls, and such to be avoided or corrected or fixed. Mark sure did! And sprung right into action
