THIS WAS A SHOCK! INVINCIBLE Season 2 Episode 1 REACTION

[@Animelon]

I knew about the atom Eve special but really wanted to watch season 2. I’ll watch it eventually though I promise😊 Full uncut version on Patreon now! www.patreon.com/OneInAMelon

[@morrigannibairseach1211]

Honestly it would have been better if you watched the Atom Eve special first for a couple reasons. You'll get why when you watch though.

[@TheSpyderx82]

Long story short, it's her back story.

[@spacezombie13]

shoulda watched it first, imo

[@bonkiatsu470]

The special will explain why her other dimension counter part wasn’t as strong as our Eve.

[@NathanClarkNateMan010276]

You'll miss out on plot points if you skip the special. But whatever I guess 🤷‍♂️

[@ChissHansen]

I only JUST realized that Bulletproof is wearing the "Unsold Merchandise" Art was trying to pawn off to Mark in the very first episode.

[@cacho100uva]

Fun fact : That costume was actually one of the first designs for Invincible's costume, and Bulletproof also one of the first superhero names they were considering for Mark.

[@thewandering01]

"I am large, I contain multitudes" is a line from the poem Song of Myself, by Walt Whitman. It's about how the poet, or really many people, has many different ideas, facets, contradictory beliefs, etc., and thus there are many different versions of himself packed into one body.

[@Buff-x6s]

Robot's body is probably still like that because it's another dimension, so monster girl probably already died before he got the idea to use Rex splodes dna for Rudy.

[@shelbypowell9919]

I don’t know if someone’s mentioned it on another video, but Azula’s voice actress also voices monster girl and Olga

[@DCUEmp_prinzy]

She's Shrinking Ray, and Thula and Eve's mom, Grey Griffin is an insanely talented voice actress, Her voice is distinct to me tho, I'm used to her azula, daphne voices and even her Donna troy (Young Justice)

[@NotEpimethean]

It took me until just now to realize what Angstrom meant when he was talking about revenge. He now has all the memories of all his different selves, so he remembers all the different versions of Invincible killing everyone he loved.

[@Mike_TNVol4Life]

That was a Mark from a different multiverse at the beginning. You can see Angstrom use a portal to rescue the Angstrom of that universe from Invincible. You can see him again at the Angstrom HQ when he shows the Maulers (he was the Angstrom looking all worried) *So don't worry, that wasn't our Mark or our universe in the beginning of the episode*

[@saphcal]

one of the Angstrom Levy's was the one we saw at the beginning which shows the viewer that those beginning events were in one of the other dimensions on a variant earth where invincible teamed up with his dad.

[@danton2925]

The beginning part was a different dimension

[@thedarkknight2221]

I feel so unbelievably bad for Mark and Debbie, I’ve never wanted to give 2 characters a hug this badly. For Mark it’s not just his father but his hero, for Debbie it’s the love of her life and the father of her child. Also, learning that according to Angstrom Levy, in most universes Invincible actually joins Omni-Man and conquers earth is actually terrifying. Especially after seeing how in the first alternate universe we saw Mark becomes as much of a cold blooded sociopath as Nolan. My theories as to how Mark could side with his father in the other universes A) He lost a loved one to a supervillain or a normal human and like Superman in the Injustice series decided that humanity needed to be ruled and so joined his father. B) Nolan told Mark the real truth about Viltrum when he was a more malleable child and convinced Mark to fight for Viltrum. Also I envy you that you didn’t have to wait as long as the rest of us for season 2!

[@rimaq_]

2 theory makes sense, maybe from childhood he taught him about real Viltrum and told him to keep it a secret between the two of em until it was time.

[@firecat4529]

I think some of Eve's scenes hit a bit harder with the knowledge of her special btw.

[@antonyouten5447]

Aside from the fact that she seems to be more powerful as a pre teen.

[@HHHspeedy]

@@antonyouten5447 this might just be head cannon but it might be due to her age you know as a child your way more creative so it makes sense her moves was cooler

[@SaulFavela-ld8kt]

⁠​⁠@@HHHspeedythis is late but I’d also chop that up to she knows the damage and potentially dangerous consequences of using her powers willy nilly as she got older (obviously) so of course she’s gonna go crazy with creativeness as a kid

[@lodikevin]

Lol Melon throwing shade at the Guardians 😂

[@cameronshiells5598]

So the start was another dimension, we see one of the levy’s get brought through a portal in that dimension and then we see him again later when he’s with all the other versions of himself.

[@Mike_TNVol4Life]

So the only reason Mark & Omni-Man are ever good in any of the multi verses is bc of Debbie. When she's there and involved in their lives, they are good (or become good) when she's not heavily present for whatever reason, they both act like Regular Viltrumites. *Debbie is what instills Humanity in them both*

[@kentonjen8475]

That's only one factor. Another factor is that the alternate marks might have gotten their powers at a young age, which allows Omni-Man to groom them easily into Viltrumite soldiers or come from universes where everyone is more ruthless and/or evil.

[@cacho100uva]

Not everyone hates Amber or even dislikes her. As usual hate, toxicity and drama are loudest and so it's understandable that's the impression you'd get. I'd say there's also a considerable dash of chauvinism latent in the unreasonable amount of hate some people show her character. That's not to say that complaints about the character are completely unjustified. There was a problem with Amber's writing in season 1 and that problem was timing. The character made sense and really was quite understanding of Mark's flaws as a boyfriend and S2 Amber isn't much different, her personality really doesn't change. It was just that one scene, the break-up scene, that didn't quite fit where it landed. That scene would have worked at any other point and not be an issue because Amber telling Mark she figured out he was Invincible weeks before and that she was done with him keeping her in the dark, done with the lack of trust, done with the excuses is entirely understandable. Even if Mark is doing good being a hero Amber being hurt and having boundaries is valid and makes sense for her character, the smart, capable, willful, emotionally intelligent, compassionate woman she was shown to be. The issue comes with the timing. When she declares she had known for some time that Mark is Invincible a timeline is drawn, a timeline where Amber knows why Mark disappears during the college attack, where she knows he is saving her, William and everyone else, but somehow at the same time a timeline where she reacts in anger and disappointment to his disappearing act. That makes no sense. And it's not like it makes no sense for the character, as I argued before in other discussions, I realize now, writing this, it makes no sense regardless of whatever character she might have had, because as I said the timing is off, that line breaks the internal logic of the events and characters. If there had been an episode or two between the college episode and the break-up, if time had passed, weeks had passed, there would be no issue, her feelings were valid, the events at the campus could have even been the catalyst for her figuring out who Mark is, but unfortunately the break-up is very clearly established to happen the next day. The scene could even have happened anywhere before the college episode and it would fit because Mark lying and being an absent boyfriend would still be true but there would be no situation breaking the fictional positioning of characters and events. I don' t know if this happened because they altered the comic's timeline somewhat to fit the show's structure and/or because they altered Amber (to the better by the way) to be a proper character and have more of a personality and presence but I'm certain it was basically an oversight when restructuring the timeline for the season which led to this unfortunate and unintended portrayal of Amber.

angstrom basically completed the process of collecting all the memories/knowledge from 1000 other versions of himself. earlier in the episode he stated that in MOST dimensions omni man and invincible team up and destroy their world. so most of the memories he absorbed are of mark committing mass genocide hundreds if not thousands of different ways. so the hate is understandable hes just gonna aim it at our mark who is innocent

To think that in every other dimension Mark teams up with Omniman and enslave the world, every dimension but ours.

It blows my mind that our Omniman, who killed all superheroes, is actually the good one 😳😧🤯

This is a good start 😊😊😊

[@stardmg]

In the comics, Angstrom's reasons for doing this weren't so altruistic, instead, it was simply *because he could* Basically "for science!". It also wasn't made clear why he hated Invincible despite things going wrong because of his own actions, which they do here by explaining his memories are confused with those of his alternate selves' most of which knew Mark as an evil conqueror who indeed killed scores of innocents.

[@toddchavez8274]

This is confusing. So sometimes they’re saying Invincible, and sometimes they aren’t. The first time we heard another character say his name since Omni-man (sorry this is technically incorrect.. I meant say it in a way with that pregnant pause) was when we were witnessing the dimension where they both took over, so because of that I was under the impression that the times where they say the word invincible is to denote that we’re seeing a dimension that is not the “home” (“prime”) dimension, I.E. where Mark either becomes like his dad or originally teamed up with him. But that theory goes out the window with the last title sequence since I didn’t see any signs that we transitioned BACK to the “prime” dimension. I feel like there’s a shift we weren’t informed of somewhere along the way. Edit: the main reason I say we’re not in the home dimension is because Donald is still alive, even though the new Guardians have Rudy with Rex’s body.

[@cctomcat321]

People hate Amber because of one stupid writing mistake. Making Amber say "I know you're Invincible, I figured it out weeks ago." Just delete that line and everything else is valid. People act like she is not "allowed" to be angry... Mark was a bad boyfriend as many times as we see him get Yamcha'd. Every time. The idea that people can't wrap their head around a significant other lying to them from the getgo and kept it up for 6 months? It's a bit concerning... So be mad at the writing that undercut everything we were _supposed_ to get from all of the conversations through season 1 by Nolan, Cecil, Eve and William...

[@SchulzEricT]

If the writers really wanted us to not hate Amber, Mark and Amber's relationship, the way I'd've written it is: have Mark tell her that he's late because his dad is being pretty demanding, that he has to spend time with his dad, working on... something. Not sure what. Some type of adult responsibility. So his "excuse" is 1 - actually true, just... misleading? Vague? and 2 - demonstrates that he values Amber but he can't reasonably be expected to blow off his dad for Amber, both because family but also because in a practical sense, he's still living with his dad. If you have Amber try to be understanding, but eventually she can't keep going on like that, not being able to rely on him, then breaks up with him... THEN he reveals his Invincible, and at first she's... excited? Surprised? And she realizes his reasons were even bigger than she thought, that he's actually really helping people... but then she realizes it doesn't change anything: he's still going to be unreliable because he's still going to be helping people, prioritizing that over being with her. Have her explain that to him, allow that him being Invincible, prioritizing saving lives over being on time is the "right" thing to do, that it's "unfair" for her to break up with him for that, but it's also "unfair" for her to date him just because he's a good person, that she needs him to be as attentive to her needs as she is to his, and that while him being Invincible makes it understandable that he's not able to do that... that doesn't change the fact that *he's not able to do that.* Then, he gets his ass beat by Omni-Man, she realizes she cares about him too much and she wants to try to make it work, and thinks that maybe it'll be easier now that she knows. Easy. A much better way to develop their relationship.
