Hey Hey! I just finished this shows latest season last week after getting recommended to series and so I thought I would post it into my little media folder!

The show first premiered in 2021 and was well-received. I had seen clips for the movie previously, and it did look interesting, but I had never committed to watching it until I met someone who swore by the series as their favorite show of all time. Now, this is not my first time watching a series on the darker side of heroing, having watched some of “The Boys,” But the animation was solid and touched on its comic book roots, which I enjoyed. I would say it’s a little more tame in the fucked up stuff superheroes could do department, but it’s a genre that has not been explored yet, at least for me.

Though the shows visuals were good and the music phenomenal the plot and characters did feel really comic booky and not in a good way in my opinion. Characters that obviously died being brought back to life over and over again really tears away from the finality of gravity of the tense scenarios after a few times. If someone dies there is a 50/50 of them coming back by some very unlikely scenario and was so repeated that it got tiring.

The 2nd big gripe I had, and this is a minor one, is a matter of opinion. Still, Mark, the show’s main character, rarely wins a fight despite “getting stronger,” leading to most big fights going the same way and becoming very repetitive by the last season. Overall, I think I will continue to watch the series, but it’s not something I will be waiting for on premiere day. I would give Invincible a 6.5 / 10
