This was my #1 most anticipated show of 2023, and its been the most 'meh.'
The animation is great, but all three episodes have been overall meh.
Not bad.
Not great.
Just 'good' but it feels like 'meh' after the 1st Season is in the Top #5 1st seasons ever.
The story/plots of all three episodes so far have felt inconsequential, like they're side-stories that have been expanded into full episodes. And that's also an issue with the pacing of each episode.
And, of course, just like every comic universe Invincible introduced a multi-verse. It hasn't been good, but it thankfully hasn't been fucking horrible. The sooner this sub-plot is concluded, the better.
1st Season - 10/10
2nd Season (1ep-3ep) - 7/10
Thankfully with the cliffhanger at the end of the 3rd episode implies the 4th episode is going to drastically increase.
Reporting back after watching the 4th episode, and...
...its about fucking time it got back to its Season 1 awesomeness.
And I'm not just referring to the fight scenes, which were still very good. At its heart Season 1's biggest relationship was between Mark & Nolan, Invincible & Onmi-Man, and this being their reunion after their big fight at the end of Season 1, it.... fulfilled expections.
Rather make the rest of my post for those who've also watched the episode.
Seems like this will be the last episode Mark and Nolan are together for a while. Probably until the end of the season. So while I was hoping the rest of the season would go back to its Season 1 awesomeness, it seems like it'll go back to the rest of the monotonous storylines we suffered through in Ep1-3.
AtomEve's fight putting her parents in danger, and she had to save them. Cliche AF and dependent upon an amazing coincidence that they were in the one car that was blown off the bridge.
And undoubtedly the weakest storyline so far is the one about Donald. Is he a clone? An android? I truly don't care because he practically was an extra in the 1st season. Can't imagine how the consequences of however that storyline conclusion will have any significant effect on anything.
