This show is fucking incredible. I really doubt I'll be able to resist just reading the comic after this season ends lol.

I thought about making a topic but didn't know if there's be interest. But yeah, show kicks ass. Anyone with an interest in superheroes that can handle some edge and occasional hyperviolence should check it out.

I've been a fan since the comics and they have honestly done a fantastic job adapting the material. Yeah, the production is occasionally a little rough around the edges but they nail all the parts that matter. Every major change they've made has been a good one, even the slower pacing which I was worried about really only dragged in the most recent episode (6) which is kind of to be expected with the last few episodes coming up.

The comics are definitely worth the read too, though fair warning that after the halfway point things get a little shaky. Still, up until that peak it is good shit. With the way the show is going it could easily be 3-4 seasons until it gets to that point.

Was introduced to the show by a friend. Now I am plowing through the comics.

Definitely weird reading through the early issues fresh off the show with how slightly different the characters and timing are. The comics simultaneously have less and more of everything, as it goes at a speedier pace but also includes events that either have not yet occurred or are cut away from the adaption.

All in all, good stuff!

As I understand it Kirkman is heading the show right? So it makes it seem like a director's cut of the story or something.

I thought this last episode was awesome. It was really intense the whole time, and the way it jumps around to the different a, b, c, etc plots is cool and always engaging. But that goes for the show in general so far, the pacing has been great.

Yeah, this has been my impression. He wrote the first and final episodes of the seasons too. It's been a while but I think most of the stuff that was cut so far was just some early villain-of-the-week type stuff, but much more has been added or shifted around.

As a watcher of the show and not a reader of the comics I have no idea how the reveal will go down and who's side Mark will take and I can't be more hyped to find out on Friday.

P.S. Amber and Will are fantastic supporting characters, especially in this last episode. All star casting all around.

Im 4 episodes and really liking it so far! So many different things happening and it keeps me interested the whole time. It feels like it borrows a ton from other superhero stuff, but also has its own uniqueness even when it feels like somebody is almost a clone of another existing character in a different property.

Hey, the superhero expy is a time-honored tradition! Nothing wrong with that at all. We get so many great stories and characters from comic writers shamelessly ripping each other off and Invincible is basically pushing the entire concept to the logical extreme. It's great.

These last two episodes were absolutely spectacular, holy hell. I actually think the 7th episode had the better action and hype but the finale was so over-the-top. I literally said "jesus christ, kirkman" aloud at the subaway scene. Just brutal.

The Red Rush death scene was the most impactful any animated death has been for me. It was so brutal. I'm really loving the series and will be reading the comics, myself.

Even knowing now how the story developed later on in the comics, these episodes were still amazingly engaging! Full advantage taken of the medium to really sell the fight and the ideologies behind it.

If this is the bar the series is going to set, seasons 2 and 3 should be absolutely spectacular.

Invincible the comic is very very good up until around issue 90ish where it kind of falls apart and never recovers, I blame the Walking Dead show for taking up a lot of Kirkman's time and energy

the show is great, happy Invincible finally got an adaptation. great to see it in 2D as well, they could have made it look like an awful CW show with only sparse action to spare on the budget but they went all in on 2D and a great voice cast. best possible direction for this show.

Ugh the alternate universe live action CW show we were almost cursed with. I can visualize it so easily. I never read the comics either but they really go on that long? I thought once this dad and his people stuff got wrapped up that was pretty much gonna be it like series finale level so I was surprised at how the cat got out of the bag so early. I thought they were gonna have to deal with increasing levels like season one finale Robot is evil or dealing with Titan or they have to deal with the Mars starfish or it's about them having to arrest the Mauler twins in a bookend of the first episode like the original Guardians first. The finale was super amazing but I'm left wanting more and wondering where it's gonna go! Omniman can never redeem himself after this tho. He already ruined it. Maybe after the Guardians thing he could have voluntarily went to jail or did some community superhero service to slightly mitigate it but after this finale no way it was way too far.

There's a particularly bad bit I can point to as the exact moment the comics jumps the shark, and there's another hugely questionable decision not too long after, but apart from that I thought it was...fine? The series gets irrevocably weird and never lives up to the first half, but considering all the weirdness I thought it wrapped up well enough, all things considered.

Still, that's easily enough material for 3-4 seasons at or above this level. They could even end it there if they wanted to. Though, I kind of wonder if this series goes on for a while, if Kirkman will start making any substantial changes. I think at the very least they're gonna have to flesh some things out a lot more.
