re: Invincible on Amazon

Finally fully caught up with this show and I am absolutely loving it.

Best superhero show on TV at the moment.

It's interesting that Mark is getting his arse kicked so much lately. Also that he was apparently on the verge of death. Seeing as how he is supposed to be invincible, that seems odd to me.

Also don't get why OM didn't intervene when he seemed to be monitoring the situation where his son almost died.

I think it's obvious that Mark will tell Amber that he is Invincible...they've been building up to that for some time now. And she has to be the most understanding girlfriend ever.

I'm also wondering if OM is going to murder this new crop of Guardians too.

Remember, he's only half Viltrumite, at least for right now he is nowhere close to his Dad's strength. I think this is also kinda a build up to the technology of Earth getting to a point (a human just built a cyborg that could go toe-to-toe with a half Viltrumite) where they are "strong" enough to not need protection (whatever that actually means)

You kinda saw it in the "after credits" scene where they are studying if OM has any weaknesses and literally "the cells keep rebuilding no matter what we do" - OM knew his son would survive, I honestly think the only way he was going to intervene was going to be if BattleBeast had gone any farther. OM has to of known that BB was on a completely different level than any of the heroes of Earth, but was just waiting and seeing because he also knew someone of that caliber would get bored after a short time.

See, I feel like they are building towards the other way, and I hope he doesn't tell her. Eve told Mark that "letting someone know your secret isn't something you do lightly" and over and over again he could have used his "get out of jail free card" and smoothed things over with Amber, but he hasn't, because deep down I think he knows it's not going to work out for them.

Don't think so, none of these new heroes are as strong as the original Guardians - unless Beast Girl can get some kind of an upgrade (I feel it's building towards that) from Robot and Black Samson looks like he's going to actually get his original powers back. I feel like this makes them not as much of a threat... for whatever reason OM slaughtered them

this brings me to a different question. if BB was so powerful why was he working for essentially a inner city mob boss like machinehead. just seemed weird he would be the hired help of what seems to be a low level syndicate.

Mark really knows how to get his butt beat. I figure at some point he will end up having to fight his dad once Nolan finally reveals his evil plan. But man, Mark has an absolutely long arse way to go.

I felt really bad for the tailor. I feel like he knows that Nolan knew. But honestly, wtf do you do. That is pure terror. If the literal world's strongest man on the planet wants you dead, there ain't shite you can do about it. You can't go to police. You can't turn towards other heroes. He already killed the world's strongest heroes 1v6. Unless The Veltrumites has a Kyrptonite type weakness, everyone is screwed.

Without comic spoilers, do y'all think OM is going to end up killing his wife. Obviously he's evil, but is he that evil?

I thought about that and I just don’t see him killing his wife. She’s the one person who can sort of keep him in check emotionally. At least on the surface. And I think he legitimately cares for her. So if push came to shove I think he’d just walk away (or let her) as opposed to hurting her.

Of course, if she is gonna go to someone to turn him in, maybe he’d have to stop her. Who knows.

How many episodes are in this season?

Maybe Nolan knows there is bigger shite coming and the guardians are useless. He sees humans and non viltrumites like we see bugs.

Holy shite episode 5 was great. That Lion was badass. And Doug Cheston channeling Rick in the beginning of Episode 6 Justin Roiland

Dammit, there's after credits scenes? Guess I need to go back and watch them all...

Just binged all 6 - when do new episodes drop?
