Invincible

[@7amart177]

Heroes, misfits and supercrooks should be on this list

[@mlpartclub412]

The New 52 Superboy comic book series.

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

I’ve seen several episodes of _The Punisher_ and _Daredevil,_ and I must say that neither titular character is to be messed with, let alone any of the other characters in their respective series. I’d best watch my back around Wilson Fisk and company.

[@erzaender]

the boys

[@SensationalBanana]

PLEASE let Daredevil and The Punisher come back as shows, WITH the same actors... Jon Bernthal is an all-time favourite for me, he owns every single role!!

[@DarkFr3ak101]

Daredevil is coming back Charlie Cox just made a video with Disney hinting at a new series.

[@IronMikeDyson1979]

Disney has them now John said he won't do it if his character is watered down

[@onidoremc9490]

I like Ray Stevensons version the most

[@nachu143]

This year or next 25th year they reunite with new series daredevil and the punisher

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

The fact that instead of playing the show’s title card, they said “Invincible” is only a little saddening.

[@zyourzgrandzmaz]

Its annoying honestly. He actually says "I'm invisible" allot in the comic. Never hearing him say it as a joke is stupid

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

@@zyourzgrandzmaz That’s why so many people memed it. Because it was all so clunky.

[@arturosandovalsaito2704]

Hey! I saw you in the last video.

[@TheFifaPredictor2000]

From shane walsh to frank castle, Jon bernthal excels in any role he plays

[@SebaRexBASH]

Amen

[@donmarco1417]

Amazing performance in Shot Caller as well

[@leemangaming1020]

Honestly, Invincible turned into one of the most surprisingly violent and suprisingly extremely well done animated show I've ever seen. I really like The Boys as well and am excited for season 3, but Invincible season 1 was incredible from beginning to end.

[@zyourzgrandzmaz]

The plan on making like 10 seasons BTW. The first season was legit only the storyline up to like issue #8

[@abrowne153]

Its by far the best show on Amazon

[@vicwiffin9895]

Ditto

[@TevinJacksun]

Invincible is a great show they tried to stay as close to the comics as possible. Thats my biggest issue with The Boys they changed way to much and I love those books lol.

[@andrehenderson3364]

When I finished Invincible I tried to start the Boyz the stratch my Amazon superhero itch and man I was disappointed lol. The show isn't bad, just not as good as Invincible

[@TheFifaPredictor2000]

I was so pissed when they cancelled season 3 of the punisher

[@jayyy1677]

As soon as it was actually getting really good

No mention of Todd McFarlane's Spawn on HBO?

[@jonathanmartin3767]

You can tell a difference in the Netflix Marvel shows from the disney ones. There is no way disney would have made Daredevil, Punisher, Jessica Jones, or Cage. However, you couldnt convince me iron fist was a disney show if I didnt know Netflix released it.

[@disneyerapowerrangers2923]

They were made by Disney. They were produced by abc studios which is owned by Disney.

[@jonathanmartin3767]

@@disneyerapowerrangers2923 , well, I can see you are a disney die hard. However, they were produced by ABC, but disney did not have those characters. Dis eye does not make anything beyond pg-13. They are too safe, to woke, to soft to make anything to the level of the Netflix Marvel shows.

[@jonathanmartin3767]

And captain marvel sucked.

[@samirehman7189]

@@jonathanmartin3767 yes, for the most part Disney has made max PG-13 content, but you can tell that they are now branching out. For instance, all the Marvel Netflix shows are now on Disney+ completely uncensored. And some of the newer shows Disney has put out like Only Murders, Dopesick, and The Dropout are gritty and rated TV-MA

[@boomredimprint8411]

LEGION. One of the most underrated and criminally overlooked shows...

[@chrisandre1315]

These R rated shows are the best of the best and knows how to entertain the masses

[@CalifornianCuttlefish]

Great Video! *This list is amazing*

[@4ourby3]

To the ones who still think The Boys is more gorier than Invincible, Watchmojo helped level that field. Thanks guys ✌🏾

[@i_kope_i66]

It’s not that the boys is gorier, it’s just that it’s live action and the show as a whole is much more graphic and inappropriate. Both are plenty gory and are far and away the best sources of superhero content on tv and streaming by miles. I would argue that while by volume invincible is gorier, the violence in the boys in grosser and more violent. There’s some pretty nasty stuff in the boys where the writers don’t hold back and you see everything. Don’t get me started on the termite scene in season 3 episode 1. It’s also just a more intense show and more of a drama rather than a superhero show despite there obviously being super abled people

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Totally amazing video of the most violent superheroes tv shows ever watch mojo, fantastic job. I love titans,doom patrol,Luke cage,iron fist and hit monkey too.

[@hunterrousseau3770]

No. 6, one of my favorite things about this show: Charlie Cox as Daredevil, and Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin

[@corbinowens2437]

This definitely could've had an honorable mentions list. ex. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Constantine (maybe more gruesome than violent), Arrow, The Boys: Diabolical (just assuming, I haven't watched it yet), probs others I'm not thinking of

[@nukenineengelbert7059]

Oh the boys diabolical is definitely gory but the different animation styles and story used in each episodes doesn’t really make it interesting but worth watching, also it’s not as gory as every mentioned series

[@alexisyanez8666]

Daredevil, The Punisher, The Boys and Invincible my favorites

[@TheCommenterDragon]

I'm glad to see that the Harley Quinn series made this list, that show is totally badass!!!

[@guilhermemouraomatias4713]

Granted not superhero, but still a great and bloody comic book show that I feel is underrated is Deadly Class. Sucks it got cancelled though.

[@stevemeters3090]

Great call, dude! I thought that show was amazing. Absolutely gutted when they cancelled it. Still pisses me off. And Syfy hasn't had an even halfway decent show since.

[@marcscott6395]

@@stevemeters3090 Resident Alien is good.

[@paulstokowski1466]

Like the list.

[@sherkhanali4546]

Punisher is one of the most violent comics along with the wolverine comics. He should’ve been number 1

[@ronaldedge3317]

Judge Dredd, The Punisher, Casey Jones, Liu Kang, and John Wick are my top five guys.

[@zyourzgrandzmaz]

This is a TV show list

[@MJbulls23airJs]

That would be one helluva crossover there

[@chinomsowonder]

The pick was excellently done. No argument on this one

[@Swampthing86]

Even though Nightwing is my favorite comic book character, the Doom Patrol is my favorite comic book TV show ever.

[@mistersir4180]

Top 3 are just pure 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@Be1lover]

It's a wonder "Gotham" wasn't at least an honorable mention, or the third (Subtitle: "Outsiders") & fourth seasons (Subtitle: "Phantoms") of "Young Justice".

[@kirk0respite]

Nothing compares to the punisher killing agent orange

[@hunterrousseau3770]

No. 5, my favorite thing about this show: Harley's relationship with Poison Ivy

[@wiinterflowers4277]

Daredevil, Peacemaker, The Punisher, Jessica Jones, Doom Patrol are my favorites and Disney can never touch their badassery! I just started Harley Quinn and I have yet to finish Invisible and The Boys!

[@marygracedipasupil4466]

[@56postoffice]

Jon Bernthal's Punisher is the best interpretation of the character I've seen.

[@anzioc]

Harley Quinn is such a good show

[@apraman4741]

You should add " THE BOYS " Extremely brutal and funny

[@adamgonzalez146]

[@varunsrinidhi9061]

Gotham should've gotten an honourable mention along with Pennyworth.

[@mrmarfleetyt2834]

Spawn deserved a mention for sure

[@piyokoai]

Yeah!! Doom Patrol needs more love.

[@williamthomas3359]

how about the HBO Spawn series from the 90s? That's preeeety violent too.

[@penelopeviews7335]

I’m gonna be sad if Jon Bernthal doesn’t reprise the Punisher.

[@SexyButCurious]

I was kind of surprised to see Daredevil so high on this list but it's the only show besides the Harley Quinn cartoon that I haven't seen. My top five is definitely Invincible, The boys, Titans, Doom Patrol and Watchmen. I never cared for the Teen Titans cartoons back in middle school in high school so I was happy they made him more mature on HBO Max. Also Peacemaker was surprisingly great!

[@BOSS_1417]

Daredevil is Really Violent, and also the best show on this list, I highly recommend it!

[@AngelicKillerChild]

What happened to Todd McFarlane's Spawn that ran on HBO?

[@Matt-bg5wg]

The subway scene in Invincible easily puts this at number 1

[@fsandoval60]

It's older but the Spawn cartoon from the late 90s was quite violent.

[@jaysco5257]

Arrow didn't even get an Honorable Mention? Sheesh...that show set the blueprint for all the other shows on the list. And it didn't have the freedom of being on an HBO or Amazon. It was still violent AF for being on the CW.

The torture scene in the Punisher should’ve made it number 1 alone...

[@krds5681]

Hm... nah The Boys dead ass had someone get a bomb shoved up their ass and blew them up... then there's the scene where antman climbed into someones dick and blew him up too... and then there's the other unholy murders in the rest of the show. The Boys take number 1 spot with ease, not sure why Watch Mojo said Invincible was number 1, aint nowhere close to it topping the violence seen in the boys. Edit: that torture scene from the punisher was pretty gnarly though, not gonna lie.

[@osleyathechampion]

not everything has to be excessively violent to be good though. just because the shows in this video use a large amount of violence in an effective way because it works for the stories that they are trying to tell doesn't mean that every show needs to do it. not everyone wants to watch super violent shows and not every show needs loads of violence to be good. also, violence alone doesn't make a show good. what makes a show good is the quality of the writing, storyline and acting.
