#invincible rant

But I’ve been thinking for some time…

What…about these two?? Are their capes just attached to their masks??? If they take off their mask, their cape comes off with it?? Or is it just attached to the neckline part of the suit under the mask thing, despite the fact that we can see a clear connection between the mask and cape.

I’ll watch a show like Invincible, get suuuuper into it, and then when it’s over, I’m just back in this dull reality like… damn.

You're telling me that all i have to do until i die is wake up, go to a job that i'll probably hate, pay taxes and ...... repeat allat until i meet my end? No villians destroying my city so i can get saved by a hot superhero?...

...alright i guess :'(

- racism

- they are dumbing down a great representation of how the robins take up the batman role and how ethics apply to heroes just in a more copyright free format

- there are already plenty of black characters in the Batman mythos (i.e. The Signal and Batwing), and representation is nothing new to it’s stories and comics in general.

- THERE LITERALLY IS A BLACK BATMAN. HIS NAME IS JACE FOX. HES LITERALLY BATMAN AND HE’S SICK AS HELL.

Invincible dudebro fans please do your fucking research before making dumb jokes on the internet

Like, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she needs to have a major role or has to be Omni-Man level of importance, but there was SO much she could have been with her relationships with others that didn't (ever) involve Immortal or "breaking up" a relationship (I'll only defend her on that; Rex lied to her about him and Eve. At least he got a redemption).

Kate has a similar past to both Eve and Rex, HER TEAMMATES; troubled family and grew up in a government agency as a potential soldier/hero in the future. Her brother couldn't handle that anymore, so he left and became an assassin, which I feel like the show hasn't really explored how she really feels about that all too well besides the forgettable prison scene talk she had with Paul. I understand why she was closed off, and why she may view relationships differently with others, BUT that also led to so much potential of her past troubling her even into adulthood and development with her friends (both old and new). They even could have showed her spawning in so many clones like Paul has, yes I know it can be painful for her but we could have seen she's willing to push to her limits if it meant protecting people and her friends/found family.

Instead, they limit to how powerful she could be and gave it to Paul instead (which is bullshit ngl, she should have a moment to shine), then reduced her as "Immortal's gf/wife" and basically nothing more. That's what is jarring to me - they made her change personality and opinions for a mid man she only knew for a short while compared to people she's known for literal years. It wasn't like "after she became a guardian she started to view things differently" type deal, it was more she got with Immortal and her personality just completely changed (even though she already lacks it because the writers couldn't bother with her).

As an animation lover and nerd, I could tell the millisecond the budget increased. The voice actors really put in the work and the overall animation for the whole scene was done beautifully. I was staring at my screen with a wide smile, fully disturbed and overly excited over the fact I saw what the invincible animators were capable of.

I really hope we get more scenes where the animation actually gets better, the expressions and movement made me squeal with joy ✌️

tw discussions of pedophilia, stealing of dna

it deeply frustrates me that a lot of the invincible (show) fandom has all the wrong problems with rudy. I mostly see “he stole rexs name after his death what an asshole” and not the whole practically pedophilia plotline he has with amanda. think about it. someone pointed out once that amanda was attracted to rex a bit, and rudy knew this, and that they wouldn’t get together because rex just wouldn’t date someone who looks like a kid. for this reason is why he targeted rex specifically for his dna (because amanda was attracted to rex and he wanted amanda to be attracted to him as well, so...). now, he made sure to make himself rex’s teenage body because, bodily, amanda is a teenager. rudy, who is a middle-aged man, put himself into the body of a teenager (after non-consentually stealing someone’s dna), all so he could get with someone who ,due to her powers, is a child.

“but rin amanda is actually an adult it’s just her body that --” it’s still so incredibly weird! that’s practically the excuse pedophiles make, “oh but they were mature so it was okay”, no that does not make things okay! rudy stole rex’s dna without his consent, so that he could put himself into rex’s TEENAGE body to make amanda attracted to him, without looking like a creep. if him taking rex’s name is the only thing that bothers you, I think you should relook at the entire situation.
