  • Mark comes face to face with his Father Nolan, and the things Nolan tells him are TRULY unbelievable. A new wife, a new son, and Viltramites being sent to kill them all, Mark is forced to decide to help Omniman defend his new planet or not. The results were SHOCKING, and with the differences in Omniman's character and who we meet at the end, we cannot WAIT to see what happens next!

    20:40 of all the reactors I've seen, you're the first one Kenny to put together the fact that the Thraxans are a literary device meant to provide the audience with frame of reference to understand Nolan's perspective as a viltrumite compared to humans. Well done my man.
    It really reframes a lot of the stuff he said in season 1, right? Like when he called Debbie a pet, we all obviously took that to mean that he thinks she's just inferior to him, but with this frame of reference, you kinda get the feeling that it was just the closest point of comparison. When we get pets, we love them, care for them, cherish them more than anything, but ultimately we know that they won't be our last pet - they'll grow old and die long before us, and while we will grieve for them, they still only take up a slice of our lifetime. This episode does such a beautiful job contextualizing that Nolan did and does love Debbie and that while he is still a fuckin psycho, he's trying to let his better angels win. He just needs to overcome millenia of Viltrumite culture, education, training, programing or what have you.

    It's very meta how Omni-Man got attached to a species that's even "weaker" than us humans and that they literally look like insects, which is in most cases used as an insult for weak, meaningless lives. So in a way he found purpose in the existence of the weakest lifeform possible which is a total contradiction to Viltrum's agenda.

      eh I think some of that is just that Mark never wanted to believe what happened, like your typical child of an abuser, and is desperately looking for any shred of possible redemption to forgive them as a coping mechanism. the fact that basically no one else did aside for Debbie (even if it took a little bit longer) was still in line with the abused spouse angle.
      So it's not exactly bad writing to have it that way, just not as satisfying from an audience perspective.

    “These people are MEANINGLESS. They are cavemen without us.” “And what were they doing with those fragile little lives?” “Now or in 50 years what difference does it make.”
    Empathy is a POWERFUL thing. And it holds so much value for every lifetime you could have. Now it’s so funny to see Omni-Man experience a practical 180 from earth and needed a figurative AND literal rebound to come to better terms with it all. AND to the point of standing up to the empire with the life he has found. For a year lifespan Omni-Man probably found it amazing to find them make such advanced culture. To him a BLINK would be a building built. They had ships that could go near black holes WITHOUT viltrumite support.
    And the life he valued the most, the one on earth seems to be at forefront of this conflict. Invincible is watching this conflict in real time as a man who from his perspective feels no pain cries before him. FANTASTIC episode. Also something something Superman fighting MANY Supermen being awesome.

    A few months or twenty years what difference does it make when you live thousands of years...he was depressed fell in love with what we biased humans would call an alien and a bug..but literally your reactions to it basically proves he wasn't wrong to address Debbie as a pet. Cos that's the same way you're addressing this whole entire species with advanced space travel as "bugs" and like they're beneath him or like it's so disgusting that he'd marry or love one of them and like the kid is some "bug baby"

    27:38 As much as people want to hate Nolan for what he did, that's okay to a point, but it's not okay to focus on just one bad day when everything fell apart.
    Debbie is not alone responsible for the person Mark has become, Nolan may not have always been home but he was a hero and he didn't hide that from his son, and Mark grew up wanting to be like his father, that he would get his powers and be a hero, his mother was a part of his development but Nolan had a big role in his life as well, but now it's easy to ignore all that, and that only Debbie is important (this is probably his way in this scene saying things to comfort Debbie while she's in this state).
    Who would have thought that 20 years of living on earth has such an effect on a conqueror of worlds, who has already lived and conquered for thousands of years without mercy, and people still think that Nolan was faking his feelings the whole time.
    Nolan did love his wife and son on earth, which is the reason why he didn't kill them, people forget that Nolan is thousands of years old, and that 20 years is not a big deal for him, but after he got married and had a son, he came to love the world because of them, and probably hoped Mark wouldn't take on his genes and powers, so he would probably wait until their lives were up before returning to his mission.

  • @14megasxlr

    Felt the need to correct a few misconceptions. Omni-man prolly didn't even know the literal bugs were compatible with Viltrumite DNA.
    The kid was a surprise. Even more surprising, since it developed so fast, he barely had time to think of what to do.
    It took a month just for Nuolzot to get to Mark, so asking Mark for help was the best he could think of, because, either way, This planet had a target on it the moment he left Earth. That's why he was going to leave immediately, probably to go die somewherem but it ultimately wouldn't matter.
    Since Viltumites can only go 2 weeks without breathing and they need to find pit-stops with breathable atmospheres, it's INCREDIBLY easy to track down a rogue Viltrumite (and kill everything you find on the way) by simply mapping the nearby viable planets, because the ratio of viable-to-non-viable planets is really just that bad even though a mature Viltrumite can easily fly at Relativistic speeds.
    So, while he is still being a dick, and should be more apologetic, his logic and circumstances aren't as absurd or intentional as they seem.

    My absolute favorite thing about this episode is the parallells between Debbie and Nolan, both being depressed and both aimlessly wandering only to end up in a moment where they're seriously contemplating ending it all. But Nolen needed something to happen to stop him, while Debbie pulled herself away. And then later in the episode Art flat-out says that Debbie is strong in ways Nolan isn't. So, so good.

    Time perception is an underlying theme hidden in this series. We were introduced to time perception with Red Rush's explanation. The shorter lifespan of the Thraxans also gives them a more rapid perception of time. Living one year seems like a good long life to them. Humans live around 80 to 100 times longer than Thraxans. According to Comic Vine, Viltrumites live around 80 to 100 times longer than humans.

    Technically, anyone can just chill NEAR a black hole. A heavy technically there.
    The gravity doesn't get overwhelming until you pass a point called the event horizon. Once you hit that, you're gone. So since Nolan can control his position in space, obviously he can fly NEAR a black hole without actually falling INTO it.
    But yeah, he was outright going to kill himself there. There's ABSOLUTELY no way even a Viltrumite can survive falling into a BLACK HOLE. Let alone get OUT of one afterwards.

      I do, and Omni Man is written phenomenally in this episode. Yes, he is improving. But he's very much manipulating Mark every step of the way this episode. His tactics have changed though.
      It's pretty obvious if you've dealt with a lot of manipulative people

      I mean he kind of is. He mislead Mark to get him to Theaxa, then pretty much guilt trips into helping defend the planet and his brother. It may have been for good reasons, but that's still pretty manipulative.

    Viltrumite DNA is so pure that it is super dominant. No matter whom they breed with they will produce a humanoid looking child, but whether or not the child gets powers is always up in the air.

    Personally i think because Nolan is a being that basically lives for thousands of years human life is essentially meaningless and due to viltrimite programming he doesn't understand why what he is doing is wrong and messed up and we as humans put so much stock in emotions but viltrimites don't the are strength trumps all so while he is wrong for what he is doing it is in character for him

    While this whole thing is genuinely terrible for the whole family, I feel particularly terrible for Debbie. It was cruel enough that Nolan called her his pet, but it must be a particular blow for him to just take another wife and have a new kid after what he did. And she's still recovering from him doing a massacre after 20 years of seeming like a devoted husband.

    @MiguelGaray-mm7ce 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I like to think Viltrumites are naturally gifted fighters, due to an evolutionary path that rewarded fighting violently for survival and dominance. They therefore don’t rely on extensive fight training to handle combat. They can mostly get by with violent rage and the same spatial awareness and control that they use for flight.
    The only difficulties Mark has had in combat are his strength level and his willingness to tap into these natural violent instincts. When he stops holding back, he can actually stand his ground due to these instincts.

  • @aisukage1990
    @aisukage1990 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The thing I found about what happened at the end was that before both believed to be the original. So every time one of them died the survivor still honestly believed he was the original. So when He cloned himself the clone again also believed to be the original and this cycle continued. But now the survivor knows he wasn't the original but in fact the clone so if and when he clones himself. Both will now know they are both clones. Which should change the whole dynamic of this duo's behaviour I would of thought.

  • @MeatSim9
    @MeatSim9 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    What's interesting about the Maulers is that now both will think they are the clone, since the surviving one KNOWS he was a clone to begin with. The only question will be who is the older clone vs the fresher one.

    Although Viltrumites are superficcially kryptonites, they are so likely saiyans. The history of nolan is so inspired in Vegeta's (Mark is super similar to Gohan though) but the last part of the episode is an obvious reference to first episode of DBZ "kell 100 humans in 3 days so u can prove u loyalty to saiyan race or i'll kell ur son"

This time around he backs mark into a corner by putting these sweet bug people in Viltrum's path. I say this all as a die hard omni man of course lol

  • @Unit-3475
    @Unit-3475 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

    30:08 - Not just programming - his whole life, his whole mentality.
    Remember that Earth and Thraxa were not the first worlds he encountered.
    He and his people had been conquering worlds like this for centuries.
    He had no problem with such methods back then, mainly because he did not perceive the inhabitants of occupied worlds as individuals - they were "Subjects", subjects of the Empire, essentially - functions.
    It was as if he crossed paths with them without seeing them.
    But once on Earth, he really began to perceive people as, well, people.
    Of course, this was not enough - he was still loyal to Viltrum, although there was still a conflict.
    He killed the Guards to complete the task, but there was an ulterior motive - to get rid of hesitation - "Don't get distracted, you have a mission."
    Hell had already cracked back then.
    And after the incident with Mark, it suddenly hit him.
    Thraxan allowed him to come to his senses, at least for a while - to collect himself together.
    But now it's even worse, he's not just realizing WHAT he did on Earth, he's started associating Earth (and Thraxan) with the worlds he conquered before and where he was much less sentimental.
    All the pain he's caused over the hundreds of years on countless planets is starting to come back to him, and it's killing him.

    Obviously, from a human perspective, Nolan has done some nearly(if not entirely) irredeemable things.
    That being said, this episode really highlights the parallels like Kenny pointed out.
    It's really a miracle Nolan snapped out of his viltrumite mentality at all, he doesnt get enough credit for that specifically - separate from the things he's done.
    Also during the fight (and after) every time Nolan was caught off guard or taken advantage of was due to him being worried about Mark. Not saying he shouldn't be, but it's very easy to see why they think the compassion and care during battle is a weakness. He got his back completely shattered trying to care for Mark, after.

    It’s really interesting seeing Mark be capable of tremendous strength even amongst, but be held back my mental blocks. It reminds me a lot of Deku’s struggle with measuring up to All Might. Not exactly 1 to 1 comparison but they both struggle with the intimidation factor of seemingly unmatched strength and the consequences of really tapping into it. Really interested to see how things play out in season 3.

    1:48 there's probably some people that read the comics that know for sure, I'm not one of them, but I assume he has because one of the Viltrumites that was helping escort him in prison stated "I used to look up to you" and considering how Viltrum is, I'd assume that means he was one of the top conquerers

Yet the species has emotions and intelligence etc so when then the viltrumites drop down to genocide them while calling them disgusting bugs like the reactors first pov of them it's just funny to watch them then try to feel bad for them after the previous insults.

    It is in fact a huge ask from Nolan, but to be fair the only person he knows that could possibly save his infant son from being butchered by Viltrumites is Mark.
    There's no one left that could possibly stand up against Viltrum except for him.
    Obviously doesn't excuse Nolan risking Mark's life, but I don't think Nolan has ever had to plea for help, except now. To be honest, I'm not sure if he fully knows *how* to plea for help properly
