Cecil in the show is a Badass, and more human then his comic book counterpart, you can really feel that show Cecil actually wants to do what's right, but I was kinda underwhelmed with how he came to an end in the invincible comics and I hope they don't do it in the show and keep him alive. Man why do all the cool characters in the Invincible universe die in the most horrific ways? Anyway, cool video man, thanks.

[@carso1500]

My biggest problem is how sudden it is, and yeah sudden death's can sometimes work if they are unexpected and make sence but this doesnt, they just kill him and that is, it would be cool if instead they have him fight against robot and try to stop him like he did with omni man but fail and in the end die at his hands

[@changeittowumbo8399]

Who is DCs „Empty Hand“ ? Has the Power to end Multiverses with a wave of his Hand

[@JayYoungs1992]

YES! Absolute powerhouse of a character.

[@NatTurnergrandsonChrisdorner]

Yeah he's appeared shortly in DC. Him and his subordinates fought alternate universe superheroes but they never expanded on his backstory.

[@noahsibahi-jackson8757]

Honestly speaking I am not really familiar with this "empty hand character" however given you know more about him, who do you think would win out of him and Dr Manhattan?

[@lordschnitzel7961]

@@noahsibahi-jackson8757 Dr Manhatten is like an ant To Empty hand. Empty Hand scales probably higher than the Presence in terms of Power. Even each of Empty Hands Goons the Gentry (a race of every Evil Being in the Multiverse) are Multiversal Threats. The Attack on Multiverse 1 (The DC Multiverse) in which Empty Hand fought every Hero, Villain and Entities of 50 Universes , was only a Test run for his True Attack. Empty Hand stated that he used this attack to estimate the Power of this Multiverse and that he came to the Conclusion, that they are no threat to his Plans.

[@OPTIMUMELITE]

Parts of the animation of Invincible looked Janky at time. It wasn't perfect. Some if the 3d models were out of place. I honestly did enjoy the overall vibe I got from it. At first sight it looks like a knock off D.C. but when I began to get into it. It is nothing like that at all. My bad didn't mean to insult the series then. But thus series is great. I like everything about it. It's new and refreshing. The characters dont feel like cliches. The show feels like it's aware of that and it does a good job portraying that. But going even deeper. I like the setup. You have human Earth Super-powered people, villians and many different types of aliens and then the Viltrums. Plus the action is really good and the gore is just damn. I dont think anyone was expecting that. >_>

It just seems like everyone's ripping off Frank Miller's Batman when they do this. And it feels forced every freaking time I read this in comic books. I definitely!! And definitely what my older brother used to read to me as a little kid before I fell asleep as a bedtime story! Was old Daredevil Frank Miller comic books. So maybe it's because this archetype is just in my head since birth. But every time I see people like this Cecil Stedman............ It just feels so forced you know what I mean?
