‘Invincible’ has been renewed for Season 4 at Prime Video, creator Robert Kirkman revealed at Comic Con
That split entirely ruined the season for me. There’s way to much time between seasons, which I get, animation takes time, and they have some big names voice acting. But that split in addition with the long season time meant I could barley remember what was going on and then it was over.
I don’t know, it’s a great show but I’ll probably catch it 5 years from now when it’s done. Just boneheaded producing decisions.
I can almost excuse a mid season break if the season were more than 8 episodes. I really miss the days of 26 episode seasons of shows. You really got to get to know characters back then. Now I feel like I watch a whole season of a show and then forget almost everything that happened in it as soon as it’s over.
My comment has some spoilers on the story so far (for the animated series), you have been warned.
Is it just me or does it feel like this entire series is about teaching the viewer that no good deed goes unpunished? I love invincible but every single good thing heroes do always becomes something bad somehow, it gets tiring. Also it feels like his strength lv fluctuates like crazy, from being a punching bag to any villain then accidentally killing another without any training.
The source material is even worse. It’s just bad writing across the board.
And yet it’s a critically acclaimed series with even higher reader ratings. 🤷♂️
Alas, there’s no accounting for taste, or, in your case, lack thereof.
It’s a shit series with no deep story to tell. It’s gore porn that tries to be edgy for the sake of being edgy. It never actually makes you stop and think. It’s like the Burger King of comics.
And yes, I read all of it. Terrible. Series like this being “critically acclaimed” is why Japan and now Korea absolutely mogs American comics.
Ah, so you haven’t read the books, then.Edit: Well, if you’ve read it as you say, then, as I said, there’s no accounting for (poor) taste. Maybe try it again in a few years when you’re more familiar with the genre. 🤷♂️(Or, wait, are you mistaking Invincible for The Boys…? Ennis is indeed a bit of an acquired taste, and in that case it is a good thing that the adaptation doesn’t follow the books…)
I read both Invincible and The Boys, I would give Invincible the edge but they’re almost both equally terrible. There is no “acquired taste” here besides pushing the envelope as far as you can for the sake of it and gore porn.
If Invincible is “gore porn” then so is, say, Saving Private Ryan.
There’s a difference between gore for the sake of gore (as in Ennis’ works, for instance) and gore for the sake of telling a story.
(Though, frankly, the amount of gore in Invincible is extremely limited anyway, so it’s kind of weird that you’re choosing to fixate on a few pages out of 144 issues.)
Comparing Invincible to Saving Private Ryan is offensive. That movie is better than any arc or chapter Invincible has to offer. It actually has a life lesson to teach and it uses the gore to show the horrors of war.
Invincible? Rofl. People get dismembered left and right because the author feels like it. There is no nuance, no substance, no symbolism to the gore. Invincible gore is not just “a few pages”. The visceral imagery is key to the experience of the comic.
Great show but God please improve the animation it was ass in season 2
They did a great scene in the latest season talking about how they cut corners in the animation department to save money. Animation aside, the writing is top notch.
That scene was straight from the books… though obviously the original was about reusing panels and such.
