Its super comforting to me to see this show get a big meme and a positive reaction, especially one which ends with people actually picking up the comic

i read the comic all through college and got a lot of friends to read my trades and we all loved it, and it always sucked that it didnt see wider success. I always hoped for a big budget adaptation but I admittedly thought if it got one it would be a shitty live action show. So happy it ended up this way. I encourage anyone on the fence about reading the comic to go ahead and do so, its worth it

i'm all for anything that has the balls to go hyperviolent superhero. the fact that it's also a really good show is a great bonus.

this show makes The Boys look like the Boyscouts.

People will compare this show to The Boys due to hyperviolent superhero stuff being new to the general public, but I think they're very different experiences. The Boys is a deconstruction that kind of hates superheroes, while Invincible is a reconstruction that celebrates the genre while pushing it to its limits.

(Also Invincible is way better)

A little late to the party but I just finished the show and have never read the comic. I really enjoyed the show overall although with how much they held back the reveal of Omni-Man's motivations, I thought it would be a little more interesting than just "blah blah alien supremacists blah blah". I thought that was kind of underwhelming. But I am very excited to see where they go with season 2.
Also, yeah, the only iterations of that meme I saw were so heavily edited that I had no idea it was from this show until I watched the episode. It was quite a pleasant surprise in the midst of all of that.

Oh, yes! Yeah he was pretty interesting but it just makes me wonder what they're gonna with him in the show and in what ways they'll likely expand his character and story. Then what happens after that situation omg crazy shit lol.

I finished the first compendium yesterday btw <_< That's basically all I did all day lol

It was a little straight forward but I guess that's because it's revealed much earlier in the comics. It's kinda the premise for the whole comic actually lol. Like in the little blurb under or above the huge name of the comic, it just straight up states that as the basic plot lol. But still, I really liked the way the show kept you guessing and doubting him the whole time. Like I'm dumb and didn't guess it before the reveal, at least I didn't expect it to be so extreme and then the following interactions.

popping in to say yes, I agree, show is amazing and I'm hyped for season 2

really excited for Battle Beast to return, after he just peaced out away from the group fight without a scratch because it wasn't enough of a challenge; feel like he's gonna be important down the line

I also LOVED the Hellboy knockoff Damien Darkblood and I hope somehow he returns so we can see him in action, though I have no idea how that would even be possible

Yeah apparently a certain monologue from EP 8 has become a meme now. I don't think it would count as a spoiler without context, but I would be careful anyway.

Robert Kirkman has heavily hinted that they'll be traveling to hell at some point to get Damien's help or something like that. He's mentioned in the past that he wanted to do a storyline like that in the comic but never did.

Oh I'd love that. Damian was wasted in the comics and I didn't even remember he existed. But in the show he's been such a standout that it would be a shame to repeat that.

It also reminds me of another thing that I am incredibly curious how they'll handle. Without spoiling too much, there's a storyline in the comics that takes place entirely within a single issue. And while it's an incredibly good parody/homage of/to the big Marvel/DC events, it's also kind of a bummer if they only devote one episode to it! It could easily sustain half a season if they wanted to do so. And there's some other logistical problems with it they'll have no choice but to change somehow.

Not that they NEED to change much but this first season really has been the best of both worlds in terms of adaptations. Even when I know exactly what happens it still kicks ass, so I don't think it's relying too heavily on its shocking twists, but I've been pleasantly surprised by all of the minor changes.

I was going to make a post almost identical to this one. 100% agree. I don't know why, but I have a really hard time getting myself to watch new shows, so I'm glad I gave this one a whirl.

I'm also glad I'm not the only one traumatized by the subway scene, holy shit that was metal

All the heroes mirrored a Justice League character besides one (even the B team mostly mirrored later incarnations of it). The Green person which you would think would mirror Green Lantern clearly doesn't. My cousin said Kitty Pryde is the best mirror for the character despite the name and based on the powers. What do you all think? (And yes I know Kitty Pryde is Marvel)

Also, I can only see one direction the show goes from her so interested to see how they spread it out over 2 more seasons at least.

The design is meant to take the Green Lantern slot but the phasing ability is from Martian Manhunter. The actual Martian Manhunter expy got the rest of his powers besides that one.

It has to be imo the (name escapes me now) Omni-man home aliens come to take over earth now that Omni-man failed what he was supposed to do. And Omni-man to save his family comes back to help fight them off. Yet, Earth doesn't forget what he did, and he is still villified and fighting to save a planet that hates him and is out to kill him at the same time.

I think it'll get to that eventually, but now with the knowledge of the first compendium, it won't be for a whiiile lol. The show could potentially be like 6 seasons depending on if they keep the pace they've been using.

i had a fun time watching the show, although it was kind of frustrating how much more interesting the villains were than the heroes!

i looked up some plot stuff that didn't make sense and they seemed to all be contrivances that weren't in the comic. i can't blame them, since television viewers are not to be trusted

i do like what i see on the wikipedia summary of the comic plotlines, and hope the show skips all of the various filler plot threads advertised at the end of the final episode

Ugh, I need compendium 2 to get here already. I bought the third and final one the other day when I was visiting a friend and we went to his local comic book shop. That was fun. I also bought the Atom Eve and Rex Splode back story thing.

Just finished Issue 60! Geezus fuck this comic is gnarly. I can't wait for more of the animated shoooowww! I just get so excited thinking about how the show is going to portray certain events or expand on things, and what kind of music it's gonna have. I really think this is one of my favorite pieces of fiction now lol.
