8/11/2023 0 Comments Are the invincible comics finished![]() Here is Captain Obvious, you say, verissimo, I would answer. Invincible is, like so many works, an animated series that came out well but that is profoundly detached from the comic in terms of depth, directorial times and writing. Now I'm interested in how Mark will handle the situation, and that's great for the show (and for us viewers, of course). The second one? Once the reasons for his actions were explained, Omni-man lost all interest of mine. Beyond that, perhaps because accustomed to Star Trek, I logically found violence to be a lazy response to dominate a race Brightborn had already fed me enough of crazy heroes, and with him The Boys. The first: I found the "showdown" too two-dimensional, even though Omni-man had until now had a "mysterious hidden plan". It was during the last episode, in fact, that my interest shifted to Omni-Man's son, for two reasons. I wanted to understand his intentions, why he acted the way he acted, and I really didn't care about Mark. Let me be clear, I was rooting for Omni-Man until the last episode. And, paradoxically, it was precisely the slow progress of history that made a winning streak invincible. Subsequent visions and final: interestingÄespite this not too pleasant start, I continued to watch Invincible "kidnapped" by the cliffhanger, more curious to understand where the plot was going (and having grabbed it a bit, given the departure) than actually kidnapped by the characters. All "fantasy" or "nerd" series exploded due to the sudden change of themes, used at HOC to impress the public and cause the effect "wow, I didn't understand at all that it was something serious!" Examples, in the world of cinema and the small screen, there are galore: Attack on Titan, Goblin Slayer, Games of Thrones. The usual twist that turns a children's series into something more serious using death / gore / violence as a medium. Even the final clffhanger, in which Omni-man demolishes the Guardians of the Globe, had left me quite indifferent (narratively speaking, because technically she is gorgeous). In short, at first touch, Invincible did not strike me: it was a usual series on Superheroes quite banal and already seen. The first episode, moreover, is too full of all the topos of American superheroic comics teenagers in a sentimental crisis, dangerous criminals all located in the USA, ultra-sexualized female characters, even boob-armor. On the one hand Omni-Man is a superman with a very 90s mustache, on the other the Guardians of the Globe similar to the Justice League. ![]() I admit to having had, watching the animated series, a huge feeling of deja-vu on the other hand, you certainly do not need an expert to frame the characters of Invincible as the most famous counterparts belonging to DC and Marvel. Today I will deal with the animated series, with some sporadic reference to the comic pay attention to spoiler, therefore, for those who have not finished the first season / want to start reading the comic.
