Invincible season 2 just wrapped up, so of course I felt like talking about the Amazon Prime show's NOT Spider-Man character, Agent Spider. We need more of him!

Would you watch an Agent Spider show? Oh, and what'd you think of Invincible's 2nd season? Get a GREAT deal on Nebula now: go.nebula.tv/captainmidnight

[@pinball66]

Yeah I’d watch it so long as the writers are the same or have the same style. Also hi, Cap.

[@VIK_1903]

With all due respect... They couldn't make a decent season with already written material (the comics), 8 episodes and 3 years... There's no way they would make a good show with another character.

[@Woobuggy848]

I would say: absolutely yes. As long as they try not to go to the MCU’s post infinity saga or DCEU, have it just as good of the boys-verse, awesome world building, amazing writing, and directing. It would work as long as they know what they are doing. 🙂

Sounds like Invincible 3 is already in the works. But I'd be ecstatic if they at least drop a one-off hour special of Agent Spider (like with Atom Eve). If that's successful, which I believe it will, they should launch a whole season of Agent Spider after Invincible Season 3.

[@jd1800]

That will never happen. Writing an entire show for him would be more time consuming and much more restrictive creatively than writing for basically any other character, because it would be a legal landmine field. If there's ever going to be a full on Invincible spinoff show it will likely be Tech Jacket or The Astounding Wolf Man.

I love your vids and was really looking forward to a second half of the season reaction/analysis video. Please don’t let this be the only vid to sum up the 2nd season, there’s so much more relevant things to talk about, this is a pipe dream. You could have made a video talking about portrayals of Spiderman in animated shows and then had a dedicated section for how Agent Spider in Invincible is how he could be portrayed more maturely than current offerings. But this isn’t worthy of a full length Invincible-adjacent vid imo. To each their own, and for the record I do agree it’d be awesome, but please make a proper Invincible 2nd season reaction/analysis vid!

[@AltAccountSoIWontGetSpoilers]

Maybe agent spider will get another cameo/he'll be added to the show in one way or another because alot of invincible's super heroes are actually based on dc/marvel heroes (aka the old gurdians of the globe, shrinking rae, etc) but spiderman is owned by sony rather then disney so it might be a little more difficult/easy for agent spider to make an apearance again but I won't be so surprised if it does end up happening

After X-Men ‘97, I’m leaning more towards wanting to see a Spider-Man ‘98 series.

[@damilarewilliams6425]

Personally I'd love an Agent Spider storyline that really sets him apart from Spider-Man by leaning into the Agent part of the name. Yeah he quips like Spider-Man and he's a good guy with a good heart, but I imagine Agent-Spider as working directly under his dimension's version of Cecil (who's younger and has an eye patch). Agent Spider is much more like Hawkeye in some ways than Spider-Man, he's a soldier, willing to do bad things under Cecil's orders. The easiest dramatic thread to pull on there is have dramatic tension build between him and Cecil, some civil war esque central issue that divides The Agency (GDA + Avengers), but centering on Agent Spider. Make it a bit of a workplace drama, in the same way that Invincible is a realistic and raw depiction of what it would be like in a superhero's orbit (Debbie and Amber) Agent Spider could be a realistic depiction of how an agency like S.H.I.E.L.D would really run, beuracracy, workplace drama, resource mismanagement. And at the centre of it you have Josh Keaton voicing a wisecracking soldier trying his best to be a superhero. For once he's not quipping to make himself less scared, he's quipping to make himself comfortable with the things he has to do sometimes. Keaton proved he can convey a different sort of Spider-Man when he was Black Spider on Young Justice. A single season limited series could really do something with Agent Spider, doesn't even need to be groundbreaking story, just something competently written, fairly unique, with Josh Keaton voicing a spider guy.

not to be “that guy” about this, but having read the entire Invincible comic book recently the show adapted the spider-man cameo pretty much exactly as it appeared in the comic book.
