2:36:54 If you come here after season 2 finale of the Prime TV show this is where you wanna pick it up. (Some things are different/happened in different order) ENJOY
your comment saved me from like straight up abandoning Rob bro lol some of these videos and how maddening it is to like figure out "okay but where do I go next" can be such a buzzkill lol but he's the best
I love how this comic deals with the question of whether killing as a utilitarian solution is okay or not. It’s a base question. That probably doesn’t have a correct answer. Pretty cool. And I love how this channel always has little moments of real life advice. You take a simple scene like between Mark and Amber and go in depth and talk about it in a real way. I love the detours. Great video.
It’s my opinion that the Viltrumite idea of weeding out the weakest in their society was heavily influenced by the Nazi ideology of the “Master Race.” It’s literally the definition of Eugenics: Breeding certain people together and discarding the rest…I think the humane answer is the obvious one, but then again they aren’t human…so it does make you ponder what’s actually right and wrong.
He already explained that it does, and to think otherwise is narcissistic and Psycopathic... People like Batman will sacrifice Innocent Lives over and over again just to keep their own twisted sense of Morality 🤷🏾♂️ His Morality is more important than Innocent lives... Even Mark aka Invincible starts killing Viltrumites and other Bad Guys bcuz he HAS TO...
Watched the show and yes it is amazing… hands down, the best part is every time someone is about to say “invincible” the word pops up on the screen instead. A simple yet genius move
@@ThePowerfulOne07 Yeah I'm confused. This is literally just a compilation of all of his Invincible uploads with nothing new... Not sure why people who have been watching are hype about this
Loved the video!💕 Just started my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They offer a huge variety of digital comics for every genre, and lifetime updates too!😍
Viltrumites, like Saiyans and Frieza all at once. They may not be able to use energy blasts that destroy planets, but somehow using their bare hands is far more terrifying.
I normally feel bad when a race looses their home world, but viltrum honestly disturbed me a little bit, like how can you throw 98 percent of dead bodies of your people into your planets orbit to make ring….and they don’t even decay, yikes.
@@AlexJay2113 Fun fact, the temperature of space is...debatable. It doesn't really *have* a temperature, because it's a vacuum, so, assuming the planet has a star, those bodies would most likely be incredibly hot. On the flip side, decay (assuming it's comparable to human biology) is a product of bacteria, which need oxygen (or whatever their atmosphere is). So, yeah, I suspect they've got a ring of super hot mummies up there (...and I don't know if that's an intentional highly disturbing double entendre or not... 😰)
@@Baiswith Lol dope. I just figured that if it was an earthlike planet that it'd be cold. I remember some astronaut talking about the freezing-ass cold when the sun was down, but now that you mention it, later in the interview he used the heat of the sunrise during the same spacewalk to heat up some part he was trying to get to fit together. Good looks!!!
Kirkman announced that he wants to push it to seven seasons total, considering there were 133 issues or so, its fitting for a span of that long though, in total they only used like 10 or 11 issues in the first season. I think next season will pull more from multiple issues.

I like how ep/vol 1 tricks you into thinking its gonna be one of those wacky teenage comics where the main character is a dorky superhero who has to juggle between saving the world and surviving high school life and getting himself into a bunch of funny and awkward shenanigans And then it hits you in face like a train... kinda like Mark.
Sadly many new to media don't know about deception and deconstructions, while at the same time asking for deconstruction ie constantly claiming everything is done before tropes and predictable then passing over stuff that's not due to my second point Many dont have the attention span to read or watch a show long enough for the big twist if the show seems cliche or seen before. It's fairly obvious a show isnt as cliche as it lets on when tons of people are criticizing it well, but people still come into popular stuff hands folded asking why it's not blowing their minds in the first 5 minutes vs some of their favorites, overlooking that they spent many hours getting into what they claim are their favorites and are nostalgic. I think tons of shows start off simple, Hunter x hunter, to berserk for example, but have a deceptive nature to them that is good when you wait for the pay off. Rule of thumb, most of the time something popular isnt popular cause the audience eats up everything, sometimes its actually good. Other rule of thumb, you may see the tropes and claim something is cliche but the tropes may have originated closer to the show your watching but it just came out way later. Final point, sadly to offset people dropping before the big twist of a show that makes it different, people have to or try oversell the show...trust me it gets good turns into it gets crazy, to it's amazing just watch all the way through. People somehow came out of the train scene in season 1 saying it was boring due to this...like really what would it take to get you a shot of adrenaline lol.
@@nichescenes yeah berserk got me together. Thought the golden age was kinda cool not bad, some OP bro swinging a sword killing stuff... super sick. Then boom! Wild demon killing and characters you like get butchered in a snap
@@robetomoreno6469 I can't speak for you, but I don't think I've ever had a serious 6 hour long conversation/lecture from my parents. Ive listened to Rob do that multiple times. So yeah, I think the math checks out.
I can’t wait to see how Kirkman is gonna adjust season two into animation. Especially the thraxa arc and evil mark arc. But we all know we want to see CONQUEST!
@@acow1385 I think so season two finale will Mark vs Amstrong Levi and season three will be Invincible war and Conquest fight and Season 4 will be The Viltrumite war.
How are you guys enjoying the 2nd Szn? I'm loving it so far, I just came back to Rob's Channel to remind myself what happens after Nolan got caught by the Viltrumites. 😂
I love how Nolan goes and knocks up a praying mantis and is like "she was less genetically compatible than that other species that looks identical to me, who could've guessed?"
The comic book/anime tropes of super beings is played so well in Invincible. The Boys handled it well in many ways but Invincible just seems so much more deeper and heart felt.
Rob, i don't know if somebody has said this before and i don't really care if they did but for some reason you're *really* good at giving life advice to people in your video's. I mean the way you explained the stuff about Eve and Mark etc. literally helped me put my own relationship in persepective. Won't go into detail but i'm really happy with her. You probably won't see this and maybe this comment seems out of place, but i just wanted to thank you for all of it. (Also, for some reason i sleep better while listening to your full story's. Dunno why that is the way it is but thx anyway😂) Love from the Netherlands.
Hey Rob, just wanted to come back to this video and tell you thank you. I watched the first hour a few weeks back and thought "you know what? I really want to read this entire run myself." I love your narration and everything, but obviously reading the comics yourself is an entirely different experience. So that day I ordered all three compendiums with every comic. Just finished them about ten minutes ago and, just, wow. What an incredible story from front to back. I'm so glad I stopped watching this an hour in so I wasn't spoiled. That was actually only my second time ever reading an entire comic run (the first, funnily enough, was The Walking Dead) and I did it all in just a couple days because I just could not put it down. What a great story. I had already watched the show before watching this video, but you convinced me to buy the books and read them all. So, if any comic writer or someone like that says guys like you are bad for the industry, just add me to the list of the, I'm sure thousands, of people you've convinced to buy comics.
Bro I passed on it to we both sleep on this one and completely regret it . I'll bet rob makes it better that the show does tho... Rob just said it we are sleep on the show 🤣 I'm dead
Yall need to watch this asap. Theres a few differences but the fight scenes are totally worth it. Also ive noticed Rob kinda skip over parts or just not mention stuff that happens
I always think about the panel where Superman flicks the guy and he flies back and how if he really did that, his head would just explode on impact. Superhero physics is wild hahaha.
Thank you for this. I enjoyed listening to your thorough analysis and summary of the series and how you explained it. It's an amazing story, no doubt. I kinda feel like a dingle berry for pointing out the similarities of the the Saiyan race from Dragon Ball but that definitely doesn't matter. Great story!
Rob, please bring back the Invincible comics series on this channel. I might read ahead, but I also seriously enjoyed how you made videos on the series.
Thank you soo much for doing what you're doing compiling these together for us. Damn this comic is nuts. Poor Mark 😢 dude just keeps rolling with the punches.
I like how they brought the new suit in right when mark started to change alittle. He was never big on the idea of murder but he actually started to say he would kill someone not only that it’s different to just say you’ll do it rather then to straight up tell that person you will kill them
Love what your doing man, I never thought comics would be such a huge part of my life, but thanks to TH-cam and guys like you, comics are one of my favorite things now
Man, this video is so revealing. The way the narrator comments about the comic shows a lot about him. I would like to see his comments at the end of the series...
I almost forgot he finished through the Viltrumite War arc. Because I'm sitting here wondering why he posted a full story video without doing so. Anyway, I have something enjoyable to watch tonight.
One of my favourite parts of the comics was the attentions to small details the first of which we see is when mark throws the garbage bag when he gets his powers and a few chapters later it lands on a pathway nearly hitting a man walking his dog and there’s so many more sprinkled all the way throughout the comic and I love it
Rob: A guy and a girl can be just friends *people walking together, hanging out* Also Rob: "By all standards of measurement, they look like they're dating" Oooookay bud.
"When you have the attention of Freddy Mercury, what happens when that attention gets turned towards you..." Mann Rob I've been following you for a while now and the way you explain and narrate keeps me intrigued, laughing, and most of all wanting more. Thank you for doing what you do.
I originally was going to stop where it caught up with the show, because I've never read the comics and didn't really want to spoil anything... two days later I just reached the end of the video. It's just too engaging of a story. I LOVES IT! Of course I'll still watch Season 2 and however many others come out. But I'm glad I watched this through. Excellent! 😻😁👍
If the content is really popular then I think sharing it on TH-cam works well as a marketing strategy though keeping some for Patreon really let's you operate multiple avenues of success. Keep up the great work Rob!
The really eye opening thing about this video isn’t about the comics themselves, but Comics Explained’s absolutist and nihilistic philosophy about life.
Love this upload, you and comicstorian are definitely my favorite channels for story retells and summaries. Just grabbed the compendium vol 2 today and 100% worth the pick up
Dude I love these summaries, especially the way you do them. You save me a lot of time and energy but give me almost the same experience while I work or drive and listen to it in the background.
Great story. Wow. Was holding off to not spoil the animated series but glad I had it here. Enjoyed your commentary and some of the “life lessons” you give in the context of the stories. Funny how superheroes witch outlandish scenarios seem so relatable.
i'd imagine, is much like dragons in dnd, their physical abilities and mental abilities don't start to decline until like maybe the final decade or so of their life, if i had to guess what keeps the viltrimites from having immortality in the same way as the immortal
The whole "good guys are narcissistic for not killing the bad guys" and the whole "human lives aren't important" crap are actually very unrealistic because if it were in real life, superpowered villains would be executed simply because of the threat that they posed to innocents. These writers just invent the whole "they get locked up only to break out and kill again" trope for the sake of storytelling and nothing more. Oliver doesn't value human life because he's never experienced being at the mercy of the strong in his life, he's bullet proof so he's never been at the firing end of a gun, bottom line: He's never been weak and that is a dangerous way of thinking especially for someone with powers because it opens the path to the one thing that is worse than a "narcissistic superhero" which is a tyrant who kills everyone he believes to be guilty.
Damn,Smart guy. Great analysis on Oliver. I like his character a lot but his lackadaisical ideology on human life and its value scares me a bit, he wasn't born on earth and ages way faster than humans so may be part of it. It's a good thing mark is around
A weak person that has been at the mercy of the strong for his entire life and then acquires the power necessary to fight back has about a 75% chance of being unable to do so because of his conditioning though. If he successfully breaks that at a later date, or happens to end up in the 25% that does not, he still has about a 50% chance of concluding that any bully he sees should be humiliated and (in the case of metahumans) then killed. So it's not exactly as if this is an uncommon stance to take. It's not the morally correct one, but damn if it wouldn't be satisfying as long as you can avoid thinking of the consequences.
I think the worst case of this trope is Batman and Joker! He would’ve been executed after a couple of incidents or put somewhere he couldn’t escape every week, then you have Batsy I won’t kill this one insane mass murderer to save thousands
I’m glad you explained the part about whether or not the immortal is close to being evenly matched with nolan because I was honestly confused by that. I was really thought for a second maybe he was issue for him.
I can honestly say, this is the longest video I've ever watched where I couldn't look away. I even rewinded a couple time to see if I missed something. Good work Rob!
5:21:17 I gotta be honest, "things will never be the same as they were because I will never lie to you again." has to be one of the best lines i've seen in comic books when it comes to forgiveness and trying to make things right
Interesting thing about these comics, this one in particular, is the question(s) brought up time and time again and that is: "What does a hero do when the 'bad guy' keeps killing? If humanity was so 'good' why don't we change?" This comic series takes a lot of pains to be as "realistic" as it can w/out sacrificing the "fantastic/make believe" aspects of the story however if we truly are going to be realistic then you have to take into account that if these bad guys really did murder and kill people - after they were caught by the superhero(s), these cats would be on f*ckin DEATH ROW! Hell, they probably would be put to death after they were found guilty right away - if we're being "realistic." To me, although this story and others like it, asks the realistic question of how would this go down if superheros/supervillains were really among us, in the end I don't believe these stories are being true to how human nature works....I'd even go out on a limb to say that we as human beings would have WILLINGLY given over our liberty/freedom to Nolan/Omniman if only to feel "safe." All you gotta do is look at what happened after 9/11 w/the Patriot Act. Hell, look what's happening NOW in the world. In the face of chaos and catastrophe we almost always (humans in general that is) willfully give up our freedom(s) if it means "peace and security." Any whoooo, that's just my 2 cents. Thanks for compiling and putting this together @Comics Explained, really diggin this so far.
Follow up…this still holds true even more now. Lambs 🐑 to the slaughterhouse under the guise protecting our freedom which is really the illusion of freedom
This is a great series :3 It's honestly rly well written and very brutal and emotional. IDK why but me personally I can't get over that moment when he calls Debbi "more or less a pet". That was worse than him slaughtering innocent people with their fight in the city .... just so cruel, honest, but so unnecessary and soul crushing. The reaction Marc had and the rage he tried to unleash on Omni Man was similar to the initial domination of Zod by Superman in the Man of Steel - immediately after Zod had threatened her life trying to interrogate her as to the location of teh codex. Had those "YOU THINK YOU CAN THREATEN MY MOTHER!!!" vibes. Boys, particularly in a situation like this, really impress me as a girl. We don't really have that berserker rage mechanism - well we do, but it's not honed by instincts to enter mortal combat - it more just overwhelms us. I'd slap him if my dad said that about my mother, but a lot of boys would absolutely try and many succeed in beating his ass. Unfortunetly for Marc, he is a very powerful superhero - but Omni man the other viltrumites are so many leagues ahead of him from centuries of being alive. This is a good thing tho IMO as a means of setting up a proper superhero story; and this comic should be properly studied for anyone trying to adapt a Superman class superhero. You HAVE to make that power gain gradual and present an enemy or series of enemies the way this series does in that our protag not only struggles to defeat them, but can barely hang with a lot of them in the first few parts of teh series.
I really, REALLY hope that one thing they change in the show is that when Conquest wakes up him and Cecil actually have conversations. I can just see it and even hear the jingle, 🎵 “conversations with Conquest” 🎵 lol
Just a small pet peeve, it’s a huge spoiler for the non comic-book readers when you mention Eve’s future strength at around 1:40:00 in the video , removes the suspense of whether she’d stay safe or not
lol should’ve had a warning in your comment too, I just read through the comments while watching the video and your one basically spoiled it earlier (don’t care tho, I came here so I don’t have to wait for the show)
I remember reading Invincible several years agos.amd Omniman kills the Gurdians of the Globe. My jaw was literally on the floor when it happened. Was one of the most shocking moments. And in all honesty one of the absolute best comic book twist that I have ever read. And I was immediately hooked from that moment forward. Cause like Rob said nobody at the funeral suspect Nolen. And I'm willing to bet that zero readers back then suspect that Marks dad would murder his entire super hero. Best twist in any superhero comic ever. And idk if comic after will ever beat it. Cause when you read Invincible and look at the artwork. In seem like a whole some and family friendly book. Not one where you exoect gore and violent with a six person massacra.
You are by far hands down my absolute most favorite comic book TH-camr. Epic voice, concise breakdown, total package imo. Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work sir. 👏
My dude... Thank you for sharing. I'm sure I'm not the only super fan who can't afford Patreon, yes it's very cheap but we all are going through our own struggles. To let us see this... My dude... Yes! Thank you.

If you've finished the video and want to continue watching, you can start at Vol 15. Luckily, Comics Explained has 15-24 uploaded!
Thank you very much friend
@@jwiththeforce3391 Hey do know where the rest of the videos are uploaded.
I can't find it on youtube.
youre a beast thanks
your comment saved me from like straight up abandoning Rob bro lol some of these videos and how maddening it is to like figure out "okay but where do I go next" can be such a buzzkill lol but he's the best
You're the man
I love how this comic deals with the question of whether killing as a utilitarian solution is okay or not. It’s a base question. That probably doesn’t have a correct answer. Pretty cool. And I love how this channel always has little moments of real life advice. You take a simple scene like between Mark and Amber and go in depth and talk about it in a real way. I love the detours. Great video.
It’s my opinion that the Viltrumite idea of weeding out the weakest in their society was heavily influenced by the Nazi ideology of the “Master Race.” It’s literally the definition of Eugenics: Breeding certain people together and discarding the rest…I think the humane answer is the obvious one, but then again they aren’t human…so it does make you ponder what’s actually right and wrong.
He already explained that it does, and to think otherwise is narcissistic and Psycopathic... People like Batman will sacrifice Innocent Lives over and over again just to keep their own twisted sense of Morality 🤷🏾♂️ His Morality is more important than Innocent lives... Even Mark aka Invincible starts killing Viltrumites and other Bad Guys bcuz he HAS TO...
Watched the show and yes it is amazing… hands down, the best part is every time someone is about to say “invincible” the word pops up on the screen instead. A simple yet genius move

Viltrumites, like Saiyans and Frieza all at once. They may not be able to use energy blasts that destroy planets, but somehow using their bare hands is far more terrifying.
You're right about that. They seem to be really good at making people bleed, A LOT.
Seems to make it more personal, to do it with your hands and not energy blasts.
lolol
don't need energy blasts when you can run threw the planets core a few times in a second
You changed yo profile pic
I normally feel bad when a race looses their home world, but viltrum honestly disturbed me a little bit, like how can you throw 98 percent of dead bodies of your people into your planets orbit to make ring….and they don’t even decay, yikes.
It's sci-fi so who cares, but space is cold AS HECK. Maybe it's cause they're being refrigerated so to speak?
@@AlexJay2113 not only it’s explained that their bodies are resilient af even their blood
There's no oxygen to oxidize and decay the bodies....
@@AlexJay2113 Fun fact, the temperature of space is...debatable. It doesn't really *have* a temperature, because it's a vacuum, so, assuming the planet has a star, those bodies would most likely be incredibly hot. On the flip side, decay (assuming it's comparable to human biology) is a product of bacteria, which need oxygen (or whatever their atmosphere is). So, yeah, I suspect they've got a ring of super hot mummies up there (...and I don't know if that's an intentional highly disturbing double entendre or not... 😰)
@@Baiswith Lol dope. I just figured that if it was an earthlike planet that it'd be cold. I remember some astronaut talking about the freezing-ass cold when the sun was down, but now that you mention it, later in the interview he used the heat of the sunrise during the same spacewalk to heat up some part he was trying to get to fit together. Good looks!!!
Kirkman announced that he wants to push it to seven seasons total, considering there were 133 issues or so, its fitting for a span of that long though, in total they only used like 10 or 11 issues in the first season. I think next season will pull more from multiple issues.
seven seasons but the number of episodes in each one could change
I can see them cutting the reboot arc, I don’t think it did all that much aside from having a brief 5-year timeskip for everyone except Mark

I like how ep/vol 1 tricks you into thinking its gonna be one of those wacky teenage comics where the main character is a dorky superhero who has to juggle between saving the world and surviving high school life and getting himself into a bunch of funny and awkward shenanigans
And then it hits you in face like a train... kinda like Mark.
I love this comment. Should have a mountain of likes
Sadly many new to media don't know about deception and deconstructions, while at the same time asking for deconstruction ie constantly claiming everything is done before tropes and predictable then passing over stuff that's not due to my second point
Many dont have the attention span to read or watch a show long enough for the big twist if the show seems cliche or seen before. It's fairly obvious a show isnt as cliche as it lets on when tons of people are criticizing it well, but people still come into popular stuff hands folded asking why it's not blowing their minds in the first 5 minutes vs some of their favorites, overlooking that they spent many hours getting into what they claim are their favorites and are nostalgic.
I think tons of shows start off simple, Hunter x hunter, to berserk for example, but have a deceptive nature to them that is good when you wait for the pay off. Rule of thumb, most of the time something popular isnt popular cause the audience eats up everything, sometimes its actually good. Other rule of thumb, you may see the tropes and claim something is cliche but the tropes may have originated closer to the show your watching but it just came out way later.
Final point, sadly to offset people dropping before the big twist of a show that makes it different, people have to or try oversell the show...trust me it gets good turns into it gets crazy, to it's amazing just watch all the way through. People somehow came out of the train scene in season 1 saying it was boring due to this...like really what would it take to get you a shot of adrenaline lol.
@@nichescenes yeah berserk got me together. Thought the golden age was kinda cool not bad, some OP bro swinging a sword killing stuff... super sick. Then boom! Wild demon killing and characters you like get butchered in a snap
And the show did the exact same thing! In 20 years it's gonna be looked at as a masterpiece just like the X Men animated series is looked at today

E war I think so it will only cover volume some parts of volume 5,6,4,7,8 and
The season finale is gonna be either Conquest, or Nolan vs the Viltrumites.
@@acow1385 I think so season two finale will Mark vs Amstrong Levi and season three will be Invincible war and Conquest fight and Season 4 will be The Viltrumite war.

i don't know if somebody has said this before and i don't really care if they did but for some reason you're *really* good at giving life advice to people in your video's. I mean the way you explained the stuff about Eve and Mark etc. literally helped me put my own relationship in persepective. Won't go into detail but i'm really happy with her.

@@luffysleftnipple69yearsago Wdym replacement? Whats up
Hey Rob, just wanted to come back to this video and tell you thank you. I watched the first hour a few weeks back and thought "you know what? I really want to read this entire run myself." I love your narration and everything, but obviously reading the comics yourself is an entirely different experience. So that day I ordered all three compendiums with every comic. Just finished them about ten minutes ago and, just, wow. What an incredible story from front to back. I'm so glad I stopped watching this an hour in so I wasn't spoiled. That was actually only my second time ever reading an entire comic run (the first, funnily enough, was The Walking Dead) and I did it all in just a couple days because I just could not put it down. What a great story. I had already watched the show before watching this video, but you convinced me to buy the books and read them all. So, if any comic writer or someone like that says guys like you are bad for the industry, just add me to the list of the, I'm sure thousands, of people you've convinced to buy comics.
At a glance on Prime I passed on Invincible. After watching the playlist went in head first. Thank you, for not doing the Tide Pod challenge.👍👍
Bro I passed on it to we both sleep on this one and completely regret it . I'll bet rob makes it better that the show does tho... Rob just said it we are sleep on the show 🤣 I'm dead
Yall need to watch this asap. Theres a few differences but the fight scenes are totally worth it. Also ive noticed Rob kinda skip over parts or just not mention stuff that happens
the one thing i appreciate with invincible is the amount of gore there is because it really shows how strong super heros really arw
I always think about the panel where Superman flicks the guy and he flies back and how if he really did that, his head would just explode on impact. Superhero physics is wild hahaha.

Thank you soo much for doing what you're doing compiling these together for us. Damn this comic is nuts. Poor Mark 😢 dude just keeps rolling with the punches.
Have listened to this since it came out. Currently on deployment for the CAF and I fall asleep to this video every night thank you so much.
I like how they brought the new suit in right when mark started to change alittle. He was never big on the idea of murder but he actually started to say he would kill someone not only that it’s different to just say you’ll do it rather then to straight up tell that person you will kill them
Love what your doing man, I never thought comics would be such a huge part of my life, but thanks to TH-cam and guys like you, comics are one of my favorite things now

I like how u watch the way the comic is drawn and how it improves as it goes
I almost forgot he finished through the Viltrumite War arc. Because I'm sitting here wondering why he posted a full story video without doing so. Anyway, I have something enjoyable to watch tonight.
One of my favourite parts of the comics was the attentions to small details the first of which we see is when mark throws the garbage bag when he gets his powers and a few chapters later it lands on a pathway nearly hitting a man walking his dog and there’s so many more sprinkled all the way throughout the comic and I love it
Listened to this over the past three days. Incredibly dense but great content. It felt like it occasionally jumped around too much, but it worked
Reading all 3 of these was one hell of a ride!!! I’m crazy happy you’re tackling this story!!!! YOU MY FRIEND….ARE APPRECIATED🤙🏽
Rob: A guy and a girl can be just friends
*people walking together, hanging out*
Also Rob: "By all standards of measurement, they look like they're dating"
Oooookay bud.
Love how viltrimites are just another version of the saiyan race
You mean The original concept Kryptonians.
@@vmoz9492 Yea that to but like the Saiyans in that the whole race were conquerers. Kryptonians didn't even have powers on their own planet
What came first though? The concept of saiyans as a race or viltrimites. I Omniman is Vegeta and Mark is Goku.
@@chicop7604 obviously saiyans unless I’m mistaken about the age of invincible
@@vmoz9492 na man the people of krypton were not breed to fight however the sayians were
"When you have the attention of Freddy Mercury, what happens when that attention gets turned towards you..." Mann Rob I've been following you for a while now and the way you explain and narrate keeps me intrigued, laughing, and most of all wanting more. Thank you for doing what you do.
I’m not waiting for season 3, so here goes 🤷🏾♂️
Facts 😂

I originally was going to stop where it caught up with the show, because I've never read the comics and didn't really want to spoil anything... two days later I just reached the end of the video. It's just too engaging of a story. I LOVES IT! Of course I'll still watch Season 2 and however many others come out. But I'm glad I watched this through. Excellent! 😻😁👍
What a brutal ending, man... Brilliant way to turn the story really
If the content is really popular then I think sharing it on TH-cam works well as a marketing strategy though keeping some for Patreon really let's you operate multiple avenues of success. Keep up the great work Rob!
The really eye opening thing about this video isn’t about the comics themselves, but Comics Explained’s absolutist and nihilistic philosophy about life.
Love this upload, you and comicstorian are definitely my favorite channels for story retells and summaries. Just grabbed the compendium vol 2 today and 100% worth the pick up
Dude I love these summaries, especially the way you do them. You save me a lot of time and energy but give me almost the same experience while I work or drive and listen to it in the background.
Great story. Wow. Was holding off to not spoil the animated series but glad I had it here. Enjoyed your commentary and some of the “life lessons” you give in the context of the stories. Funny how superheroes witch outlandish scenarios seem so relatable.
Mark was 100% trying to engage in some superhero shenanigans with eve😂
2:33:25 if u want to pick up where season 2 ended
i'd imagine, is much like dragons in dnd, their physical abilities and mental abilities don't start to decline until like maybe the final decade or so of their life, if i had to guess what keeps the viltrimites from having immortality in the same way as the immortal
The whole "good guys are narcissistic for not killing the bad guys" and the whole "human lives aren't important" crap are actually very unrealistic because if it were in real life, superpowered villains would be executed simply because of the threat that they posed to innocents. These writers just invent the whole "they get locked up only to break out and kill again" trope for the sake of storytelling and nothing more.
Oliver doesn't value human life because he's never experienced being at the mercy of the strong in his life, he's bullet proof so he's never been at the firing end of a gun, bottom line: He's never been weak and that is a dangerous way of thinking especially for someone with powers because it opens the path to the one thing that is worse than a "narcissistic superhero" which is a tyrant who kills everyone he believes to be guilty.
Damn,Smart guy. Great analysis on Oliver. I like his character a lot but his lackadaisical ideology on human life and its value scares me a bit, he wasn't born on earth and ages way faster than humans so may be part of it. It's a good thing mark is around
A weak person that has been at the mercy of the strong for his entire life and then acquires the power necessary to fight back has about a 75% chance of being unable to do so because of his conditioning though. If he successfully breaks that at a later date, or happens to end up in the 25% that does not, he still has about a 50% chance of concluding that any bully he sees should be humiliated and (in the case of metahumans) then killed.
So it's not exactly as if this is an uncommon stance to take. It's not the morally correct one, but damn if it wouldn't be satisfying as long as you can avoid thinking of the consequences.
Err Batman? What about non superpowered villains?
I'm pretty sure he's taking a dig at Batman/Spidermans no kill rule.
Its why i love the Webserial WORM
I think the worst case of this trope is Batman and Joker! He would’ve been executed after a couple of incidents or put somewhere he couldn’t escape every week, then you have Batsy I won’t kill this one insane mass murderer to save thousands
Thanks for putting up so much content Rob. MVP!
its cool that season 2 followed the comics almost page for page
1:28:00 leaves off newest episode season 2 episode 4
bless up
Goat
i like how the pentagon is just like a normal hospital in this series
I’m glad you explained the part about whether or not the immortal is close to being evenly matched with nolan because I was honestly confused by that.
I was really thought for a second maybe he was issue for him.
he can also die if his brain in destroyed like evil mark did In that other dimension during s2
I can honestly say, this is the longest video I've ever watched where I couldn't look away. I even rewinded a couple time to see if I missed something. Good work Rob!
That comment about being 30 and everything still being ok I needed that thank you ❤️
5:21:17 I gotta be honest, "things will never be the same as they were because I will never lie to you again." has to be one of the best lines i've seen in comic books when it comes to forgiveness and trying to make things right
I got hooked on the show as a new fan recently , and now I can't get enough so I came here 😂
me exactly 😂😂
Eve - "Rex cheated on me. He cheated! Oh. Hi Mark."
Fucking bravo sir. Bravo.
Interesting thing about these comics, this one in particular, is the question(s) brought up time and time again and that is: "What does a hero do when the 'bad guy' keeps killing? If humanity was so 'good' why don't we change?" This comic series takes a lot of pains to be as "realistic" as it can w/out sacrificing the "fantastic/make believe" aspects of the story however if we truly are going to be realistic then you have to take into account that if these bad guys really did murder and kill people - after they were caught by the superhero(s), these cats would be on f*ckin DEATH ROW! Hell, they probably would be put to death after they were found guilty right away - if we're being "realistic." To me, although this story and others like it, asks the realistic question of how would this go down if superheros/supervillains were really among us, in the end I don't believe these stories are being true to how human nature works....I'd even go out on a limb to say that we as human beings would have WILLINGLY given over our liberty/freedom to Nolan/Omniman if only to feel "safe." All you gotta do is look at what happened after 9/11 w/the Patriot Act. Hell, look what's happening NOW in the world. In the face of chaos and catastrophe we almost always (humans in general that is) willfully give up our freedom(s) if it means "peace and security." Any whoooo, that's just my 2 cents. Thanks for compiling and putting this together @Comics Explained, really diggin this so far.
Follow up…this still holds true even more now. Lambs 🐑 to the slaughterhouse under the guise protecting our freedom which is really the illusion of freedom
"Dang, I wonder why this is 5 hours long..."
*5 minutes into the video he explains Buddy Christ from Dogma*
"Ohhhhhhhh..."
Never knew you had a video on Invincible. This is why you’re the GOAT
I watched these as you did the volumes. Amazing! I read it up untill Vultrimite War, and you helped me finish it up. Great stuff.
This is a great series :3 It's honestly rly well written and very brutal and emotional. IDK why but me personally I can't get over that moment when he calls Debbi "more or less a pet". That was worse than him slaughtering innocent people with their fight in the city .... just so cruel, honest, but so unnecessary and soul crushing. The reaction Marc had and the rage he tried to unleash on Omni Man was similar to the initial domination of Zod by Superman in the Man of Steel - immediately after Zod had threatened her life trying to interrogate her as to the location of teh codex. Had those "YOU THINK YOU CAN THREATEN MY MOTHER!!!" vibes. Boys, particularly in a situation like this, really impress me as a girl. We don't really have that berserker rage mechanism - well we do, but it's not honed by instincts to enter mortal combat - it more just overwhelms us. I'd slap him if my dad said that about my mother, but a lot of boys would absolutely try and many succeed in beating his ass.
Unfortunetly for Marc, he is a very powerful superhero - but Omni man the other viltrumites are so many leagues ahead of him from centuries of being alive. This is a good thing tho IMO as a means of setting up a proper superhero story; and this comic should be properly studied for anyone trying to adapt a Superman class superhero. You HAVE to make that power gain gradual and present an enemy or series of enemies the way this series does in that our protag not only struggles to defeat them, but can barely hang with a lot of them in the first few parts of teh series.
I really, REALLY hope that one thing they change in the show is that when Conquest wakes up him and Cecil actually have conversations. I can just see it and even hear the jingle, 🎵 “conversations with Conquest” 🎵 lol
Finally caved and decided to watch this since the final season won't air anytime in the next two decades
The narrator truly has comfort in life
The Freddie Mercury thing is dumb. Thragg is Don Frye and Nolan is Dan Severn. Fight me.
Absolutely
I rewatched season 1 and got curious on what happens later.
Came here to find out and was not disappointed.....thanks man!
Just a small pet peeve, it’s a huge spoiler for the non comic-book readers when you mention Eve’s future strength at around 1:40:00 in the video , removes the suspense of whether she’d stay safe or not
lol should’ve had a warning in your comment too, I just read through the comments while watching the video and your one basically spoiled it earlier (don’t care tho, I came here so I don’t have to wait for the show)
Love this guy ranting on and the dating advice funny as hell man 😂❤
Came here after the Season 2 ep5 cliffhanger. Its cool to hear somebody breakdown season 2 without comparing it to the show
I remember reading Invincible several years agos.amd Omniman kills the Gurdians of the Globe. My jaw was literally on the floor when it happened. Was one of the most shocking moments. And in all honesty one of the absolute best comic book twist that I have ever read. And I was immediately hooked from that moment forward. Cause like Rob said nobody at the funeral suspect Nolen. And I'm willing to bet that zero readers back then suspect that Marks dad would murder his entire super hero. Best twist in any superhero comic ever. And idk if comic after will ever beat it. Cause when you read Invincible and look at the artwork. In seem like a whole some and family friendly book. Not one where you exoect gore and violent with a six person massacra.
this guy keeps me sane during my 10 hour shifts at work.
Thank you rob keep up the good work!
Thank you for uploading this on a Sunday Rob. This in the background while I work on some art stuff and a lil greenery🍃💨 is a good day 🙏🏾
I love falling asleep to these videos.
You are by far hands down my absolute most favorite comic book TH-camr. Epic voice, concise breakdown, total package imo. Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work sir. 👏
My dude... Thank you for sharing. I'm sure I'm not the only super fan who can't afford Patreon, yes it's very cheap but we all are going through our own struggles. To let us see this... My dude... Yes! Thank you.
