I made a cameo

[@LeVi-yt8rg]

Seeing my mass murdering father tongue wrestle a bug would traumtize me too

[@okas_art]

I think we’re all traumatized from watching that

[@butchblaster7073]

Rarely do I genuinely feel bad for a fictional character, but Mark is pure suffering in human form, I know things are gonna get worse too.

[@lalitsharma3137]

Nolan killed half of Chicago. And you're worried about the cheating?

[@TheRedPharmacist]

Not that important in the grand scheme, but I'd argue (and Debbie probably too) he and Debbie broke up when he left earth. So not cheating, just moving on quickly.

[@khumokwezimashapa2245]

He really wanted that buggussy

[@suncxkes]

@@TheRedPharmacistnot really, since it was a marriage, and unlike a break up, a divorce is something that needs formal proceedings and not just a simple conversation, and also, he left his wife and son without saying anything

mark and debbie’s relationship in this show was one of the best parts of this show. i just love their bond with each other. and that roof top convo scene *chefs kiss*

[@CheeF_Phetty]

"They don't even say 'I break up' because the audience is smart enough to know" That seemed like a jab at RSG 2 and I'm all for it.

[@just4universe219]

Invincible Season 2 is literally pain personified. All the types of pain you could imagine

[@PramkLuna]

Something many people miss is that Nolan also says "Remember all the good I did.", in addition to a clue about the books, Nolan makes sure that Mark will follow through even if Mark hates him. He knows Mark wants to see the good in him so he wants Mark to remember the good he did so that Mark will hesitate to deny his final request.

[@ironbar2009]

Consumed a lot of invincible content once the season ended and this video essay is definitely among the best. Very articulate and well thought out analysis that makes me appreciate how well this show delves into the human psych and themes of responsibility and power.

[@Haydon.F.]

Calling Darkwing II "Man" caught me off guard. Can't escape the Aslume no matter how hard I try. Great video

You can never truly escape the asslume

[@crios333]

I didn't even think about how Nolan had to have told the thraxans about Mark's interests, good catch

[@PR1ME98]

26:21 best line in the video

[@mandin3100]

Amazing video, truly a fun and interesting time!!

[@nirisu6954]

this video is absolutely great and deserves way more views, you have a great voice that is easy to listen to for 40 minutes. not that its something in your control, but i find lots of video essay people have very excitable voices that can feel grating after listening for a long time, but yours is simple and fits the tone of the video perfectly. 10/10 would watch again

[@saipranavpalla1467]

[@moonoracle115]

Binged season 2 in a day, then watched the atom eve special right after. A very powerful moment was when Rex showed her her "family photo" and then seeing her actually make it in the special. Damn ;( Trauma is a very strong theme in the series and seeing people survive in it is very touching. Can't wait for season 3 now to cry some more.

[@mrbubbies_]

great video, it was well articulated and put together, and i've never even seen the show

[@atakandasdemir5058]

great video actually u covered up a lot i already understood everything while i was watching the show but still i had a pretty weird day yesterday and today i had 2 meltdowns cause of my feelings idk why this vid helped me a little ty for this.

[@introvertedrobot]

Glad I could help in some way. Hope you are doing better now.

[@XMAN237]

one way i like to see the scene at 39:24 is debbie pushing away mark in his costume because it reminds her of nolan but then remembers that he’s her son and nothing like his dad and lets him embrace her

[@demon_warrior870]

I will say this for me, I haven't seen all of season two yet but I will say all of the elements in the comics hit harder. I love your video, and hope you stand out I support your work over anyone in your profession.

[@introvertedrobot]

Thanks, that means a lot! Personally, I think a majority of the things in the comics are quite rushed at times. The show adds some details and makes the show more impactful IMHO. One of the best examples I can give is that Mark's character in the comics isn't nearly as fleshed out as he is in the show.

[@demon_warrior870]

@@introvertedrobot it's cool man, I respect your opinion for me I think the show is good but I bought the comic's digitally while I don't own them all yet it's been a fun ride I think the show has potential. After I finish season two, I will watch your video again I did get spoiled by other youtubers who seen it I'm just happy you are in good faith and went into details about trauma in this season.

[@demon_warrior870]

[@zanzibarforever]

I need season 3 asap

[@Immaculate_tangl]

Rex got his hand bit off and got shot in the skull

[@introvertedrobot]

That's why in my introduction, I said that there were others, and immediately put up a clip of Rex.

[@nont18411]

One of the things I like about this season is that they made Anissa look a little bit uglier than in the comics. Since Anissa in the comics is hot (likely Kirkman’s fetish), it made the readers treated her raping Mark as a joke, with female readers finding it funny and male readers saying “It should have been me. Lucky Mark.” Making her ugly would make her action less acceptable but it also fed into a harmful trope of “You are only evil if you are ugly”.

[@taofist]

Unflinching

[@damsen978]

This video will 100% get outdated after the following seasons. Season 1 and 2 don't even scratch the surface.

[@Noah_Cain]

[@idontuploadanym0re]

19:24 i honestly don’t know what Nolan was expecting. did he really think Mark would welcome him back with open arms?

[@trinstonmichaels7062]

Well mark life is going to get much worse and I love pain.

[@themastertactician869]

Amazing video but…. Don’t want to nitpick too much but at 43:51 A bit confused on the very ending….did the audio you had for your conclusion get cutoff? It felt very abrupt….

[@introvertedrobot]

Oh shit, that was definitely a mistake on my part. I went through this two times, and I can't believe I didn't catch that. My bad.

[@benjakes5354]

[@tornapart]

[@justanothr2196]

why is the audio so heavy on the left side?

[@DietAlex]

13:05 when you said this line, the way you said it made it sound like Mark was dating his mom

[@szoninski]

one thing bothers me, anissa said that she is aware that mark is talking with someone via microphone ( cecil ) and cecil knows that yet still says to mark to make fake surrender ? was it some long period time or what ?

[@introvertedrobot]

It wouldn't matter to Anissa either way. They will be taking over Earth regardless, and if it's a fake surrender, at least they know that they'd be able to control Mark if he gets overwhelmed. Him actually saying the word "NO!" is disappointing to Anissa because she sees it as a betrayal to her kind. At the end of the day, the main reason she went down there was to try and convince Mark, and since she can't do that, they'll probably have to kill him. Since the Viltrumites see their kind as superior above everyone else's, they'd be disappointed that they'd have to kill a Viltrumite with so much potential.

[@themegatonmenace1224]

Technically Nolan didn't cheat on Debbie. On Earth he was officially declared dead which means they are officially no longer married.

[@serpant333]

that’s not a real excuse

[@toastynachoos]

💀... But true

[@introvertedrobot]

I'm more or less talking from Mark's perspective here. Not from a logical standpoint. Their marriage is obviously over, but in that section, I'm clearly talking about it from his perspective where is in shock.

[@artsyidiot4754]

I’m imagining Nolan saying this to Mark and in no situation is it not funny.

[@averymcknight6977]

Yet he still calls her his wife at the end so they're still together in his mind

[@irisdaniels2318]

karma police was probably the best theme for him, but the lyrics weren't intentionally about him.

[@DysnomiaFilms]

I fucking haaaaaated Angstrom Levy in this season. He was so annoying and uninteresting and he shows up out of fucking nowhere at the end. I had no connection to his character and he made the finale unbearable to watch. He has virtually no compelling set up prior to that episode.

[@zakcat5175]

I felt the same till I heard how he's a manifestation of marks fears and I honestly like it and think it fits thematically. But I agree they could've done more post credit clips setting him up at least

[@ericadasilva02]

You’re right I feel like if there was at least one more episode leading to finale to give his character some more depth would have been perfect but nonetheless I enjoyed the finale. Just couldn’t watch the part where Mark was beating him to death, covered my eyes 😂
