Canonically, he replaced Lincoln as POTUS when Lincoln died unexpectedly (well before the assassination), because they had a strong physical resemblance.
Cecil's easily the best character in the show. He's cunning and ruthless but you also see his humanity shine through on occasion. You know he will do anything to save Earth when it comes down to it.
The artwork, and Walton Goggins' voice acting, IMHO do a marvelous job of conveying a fundamentally good man doing a dirty job that he hates, but believes is necessary for the greater good.
I love Cecil, man. he's not the guy anyone wants, but he's the one with the balls to make the calls they need. no one else could make the fast, life-saving decisions. and he knows he's an asshole cuz either way, some people are gonna die. but he has to make the quick call on which one will prevent more deaths.
@@finnyfinn27 Yeah like, Cecil makes some heavy decisions on the daily SO fast, it's insane that he's so quick to action and doing the most "right" thing he can
The unsing hero of this episode was the guy working Cecil's teleporter. It takes crazy reflexes to be able to keep Cecil from getting caught by Omni-Man like that.
I assumed Cecil has some kinda mental command of the teleporter somehow that he himself uses since he doesn't strike me as the type of guy to just leave it up to some other person to teleport him around.. plus if someone was teleporting him around how would they know when he wanted to come back?
I'm guessing Omni Man isn't that quick when starting from zero. He needs a bit more time to accelerate at super high speed. Still at the speed he was going in the show you're right, it still takes amazing reflexes to avoid him. That being said considering he cleanly caught Cecil's tie, he could have killed him, he just chose to grab him by the tie instead.
Amber saying that she knew that Mark was a superhero was arguably the most poorly thought out attempt to make her look smart. Seriously, watch the last episode knowing that she knew.
@@xJohnnyBloodxSo, in either case, she is a toxic person. On one hand, she knew and fake cried in a deliberate attempt to make Mark feel horrible about himself. On the other, she didn't know, but did her damnedest to downplay the importance of what he does and pretend it isn't an excuse In either case, Amber is a spiteful manipulator and hardly the good person she pretends to be.
It's baffling how bad the writing for her character is. I also think another huge flaw is that we never really see anything to make us want to root for the relationship to work. Like there's not really any reason for the audience to be invested in their relationship, and I think aside from her being a poorly written almost caricature of a character, some of the hatred towards her comes from just how hard it is to care about this storyline.
When you figure that Robot is actually dying and the new Robot is a clone of sorts it’s really sad. The moment he says “experience everything” was actually touching. I was not expecting that.
An underrated part of this episode is the introduction of Rudy/Kid Rex. The voice actor somehow makes his voice a perfect blend of Robot and Rex's voices. Incredible talent. He also voices several other characters in the show.
@@mentallyderangeddoggirlThe amazing fact is that neither of those are the answer - it’s actually the voice actor for Immortal. I’d recommend looking him up. His talent for voices has to be one of the best going right now.
One if the best call backs is often missed. When Donald tucked and rolled away from Omniman think back to the secret service guys in the 1st episode talking about the up coming training. Donald was an absolute unit.
Donald did as well as any normal human could possibly hope to do against omniman. He was even able to save people. I think Donald actually won that encounter
Heh, and know we have a good idea of why Donald had the reflexes to roll away from Nolan's grip. SPOILERS Donald's been at least part cyborg for quite a while now.
The kaiju was basically killed because they removed it pain center. The electricity didn't directly kill it. But because it didn't feel the pain of it, it just let itself getting electrocuted until it was overcome.
They don’t say it in the show, but in the comics Cecil says that he’s addicted to teleporting and he says that it costs the US taxpayers $5million EVERY time he teleports.
haven't enjoyed a reaction channel in a while, no pausing every 5 seconds and an explanation of what we saw already. Very nice, can't wait for yall to see season 2
I would have been like “Did you just see Immortals evil clone jump me?”. Also Amber saying she knew it the whole time makes her melting down at college when he fought the Robo Cops show her as a horrible person.
I don't think I've seen anyone else pick up on the whole "come back stronger" aspect of Viltrumites in the show. It is telegraphed even early on with Mark and Todd. He gets punched in the chest by Todd, gets downed. Later he gets hit by his dad in the same spot, and after recovering from that, he can take Todd's punch without issue. It's played off as just "Mark didn't have his powers the first time he got hit", but knowing this aspect of the Viltrumite powerset, this seems like a very intentional sequence of events. Without comic spoilers, this is something that becomes very apparent the more Mark gets beaten up.
Viltrumites also get stronger the more they exert themselves. They even get stronger as they get older. Basically, being a Viltrumite is pretty awesome.
Amber: *knows Mark is Invincible* Mark: *"disappears" and prevents William and a bunch of other people from dying* Amber: *knows this...AND IS MAD THAT HE LIED TO HER BECAUSE HE WAS LITERALLY SAVING LIVES* MAKE IT MAKE SENSE WRITERS. She was cool until you made her a total and genuine narcissist
@@stillvenom straight up. I read the comic after watching season 1 and she’s great in there. Idk what these show writers were trying to do, but it failed miserably. At least she’s cool in season 2, but it’s hard to forget how annoying she was in this episode
@@neesonnaidoo4745 They wanted her to be a badass cool woman according to their insane world view. Thats why shes super charitable, she reads all this feminist literature, she never has to apologize, is allowed to sexually blackmail Todd at the beginning. Amber in the comics was a normal highschool/college girl, and thats not allowed in modern media.
@@LaserWombat It's sad, but that's what happens. We live in a clown world. A world full of clowns, one screaming louder than the other. These clowns are exactly like the spoiled brats, that live under a rich roof, getting everything from their parents and if they don't get what they want, they scream louder. And the parents in this metaphor are the common sense people, that get annoyed at the kids and give them what they want to make them shut up. These clowns grow up in a beautiful save world, it's like a paradise for everyone, that humanity build up over millenias of civilisation. But thats not enough, if you don't have problems you make new problems. And if there are no obvious problems, you make up stupid problems, that no one needs. I mean, we still have problems, like that thousands of tons of trash in the oceans. But thats too hard to solve, so we just invent feminism and racism at situations, where nothing was wrong. Clowns are becoming so notoriously bad for society, they are literally terrorists at that point. Stuff them all into prison and let peace into the world again...
I literally hate Amber she accuses Mark of lying to her, and when he saves them at the college, she just admitted she knew that was him yet still accused him of abandoning them while being attacked she’s basically gaslighting him the whole time and accusing him of doing that to her when she’s the one doing it to him making him feel like he’s the one doing everything wrong. I understand he shouldn’t keep secrets, but he’s a superhero. You don’t just tell someone your secret identity you need time to build trust and a relationship She acted like he was the one in the wrong
Alternate Mark snaps like, "Do you not watch the news, Amber?! Did you somehow miss the Guardians of the Globe getting murdered in their own base?! How about the alien invasions that left me covered in blood, mine and theirs?! How about how I was was put into a coma for a solid week?! So, yeah, pardon me if I didn't want to bring my *high school girlfriend* in on a side of my life I can't pack back away." he sighs in frustration. "I've gonna go talk to Dad."
@@silverblade357 Remember, Mark and Amber were dating for five months. That's a long time to hide something that big from someone you claim is important to you. She gave Mark every opportunity to explain. The only reason he told her now is because she broke up with him.
@@danieldickson8591 I'd argue the exact opposite, five months is an incredibly short time to hide your super important, very secret super hero persona.
@@danieldickson8591It may feeel long for teenagers, but it's not long at all, considering how important this secret is. It could literally put her in danger. (It's also not long considering how long Viltrumites live, but I suppose that's not very relevant yet.)
@@danieldickson8591 Yeah, but he's still learning and he's only getting so much work because all those other heroes got brutally killed. Granted, if that was my concern, I just wouldn't be dating anyone.
I think Amber knowing that mark was a superhero is probably the most roundly criticized part of the show, especially because everyone around Mark is telling him that he was the one in the wrong here. And I think my problem isn't Amber knowing and still being mad at him; I think my issue is that both Eve and William side with Amber. I think it would have gone over better if one of them (probably Eve) just said, "Yeah. You're a superhero. I don't know what she was expecting." And it would work because Eve was the one telling him that dating a normal person when you're a superhero is really complicated. Some people might say it had to be that way so she could give him the motivation to investigate the laser beam thing with a stern talking-to, but she can both be on his side with Amber, but stern about him getting over it and keeping the bigger picture in mind. She just got done cutting out the toxic people in her life while also doing her superhero thing independently, so I don't see why she couldn't encourage Mark to do the same thing. At the end of the day there were always hints that they weren't a good couple between Mark's responsibilities, and Amber's expectations of him as her boyfriend. And that's a very true to life scenario - not everyone is meant for the person they end up dating for a while. So I don't have a problem with Amber being like this, just how the story treats their breakup.
Well, he DID steal Rex's DNA but it wasn't entirely vanity I don't think. Robot realised that Monster Girl actually WAS at least in a physical sense attracted to Rex; but Rex is such an intolerable douche that it removes any sexual attraction. Therefore Robot made a younger Rex, closer in appearance to Monster Girl so that he could experience human emotions with her.
The scene that cemented hatred of a character with amber, nothing like valuing yourself over literal lives, man’s out here getting himself beaten to a pulp regularly saving lives and she knows this but still acts like that
You know whats funny to me 1. MAPLE AND ARI (claps) Women THAT GET IT 2. Secret Identities are SECRET for a reason 3. Mark ISNT Nolan (think about that) 4. Amber if you knew, why you’re uoset about him saving lives then insulting him.
It's like Eve said a couple episodes ago. Once you tell somebody your secret identity, there's no going back. That is life-changing information that you are putting in someone else's hands, not knowing what they will do with it.
Amber is the embodiment of terrible communication. Like if she knew weeks ago, why not talk to him about it to solve it, work it out so Mark can feel better and save the world with a clear head, and Amber can stop being insufferable? To me it just doesn't make sense.
I can only assume that Amber was waiting for Mark to trust her with this information. But the thing is, Mark did not even tell his own best friend. And seemingly had no immediate plans to do so with anyone outside of the superhero community.
How DARE that misogynist pig value the lives of all his family over telling the truth to his girlfriend of a month or two. He clearly needs to study more social justice.
What will blow your mind is that, after Donald blows the house up, omni-man opens his fist and the shards of Donald's spine fall out of it. Then he flys off.
Immortal never really dies he always comes back hence his name Invincible is the character that goes through most in the comics and never really parishes no matter how bad he gets hurt that’s why his name is invincible
I love that Maple believes in the celebrates cloning themselves and the D.E.W.'s (Directed Energy Weapons)!! I never thought of that in connection with this show, but it's all right there for us to see. Nice job! 🙂
I will forever mention this. Why would Nolan reveal himself to William? As far as he knows, William doesn’t know that Mark is Invincible, therefore wouldn’t know that Nolan was Omni Man. I think about this every time I watch this episode.
Because at this point, I think Nolan is aware that the jig is up. He is way past caring about secret identities at this point. The only thing that was of concern to him is making sure that he could keep his family together and at the same time go about his mission.
If Amber knew then basically just waited for Mark to mess up just so she could be mad. Why not just say something? Or just understand why someone might not reveal their secret identity? Feels toxic. Also the Immortal is Lincoln...
I recently found your channel and just love it I like how you all actually react, and not interrupting everything and talking through details of show and actually paying attention new subscriber for sure
So if anyone ever had any doubts about whether Omni-Man belongs or even deserves to be in a MK game, take a look ladies and gents. lol. This man fits RIGHT IN. lol I mean splitting a dude in half and having his torso slide across the kitchen counter??? If that's not a Fatality, then what is?? lol
@@Diegesis The thing is that Omni-Man does quite a few things that are FATALITY worthy. Backhanding the Immortal's head right off Slamming Darkwing onto the floor and splattering his brains and intestines. Crushing a pilot's head with just a single hand. Crushing Donald's spine. Dude was MADE for MK. LOL. I mean Omni-Man is exactly what Superman would be if he had zero connection to humanity and was out to conquer.
Omg I had one of those tvs that would randomly go fuzzy and you would have to slap the shit out of it to make it work. And then being a kid with insomnia watching tv at night and then having to throw hands with your 20inch at 2am. Not the bee's knees.
Okay lets break it down as the show has portrayed it. Using only information from the show and comics. Amber was angry Mark wasn't spending enough time with her because he was off saving people's lives. She was also angry he didn't tell her his secret identity-that she figured out for herself but never mentioned or hinted that she knew. Then got mad at him for prioritizing saving countless people's lives over getting to their dates on time. Never mind the fact that he was going out of his way to get gifts or trying to do other thoughtful things for her to make up for it as she herself said. Or that he was almost killed a few days ago, and was in the hospital for around 6 days. Amber had every right to be mad that he was late when she didn't know he was a superhero, but as soon as she figured it out, and still wanted to get mad at him for not being on time, she lost any sympathy she had from me. Keeping his secret doesn't mean he doesn't trust you, that's not the reason superheroes keep their identities a secret from their loved ones most of the time, it's just a way to try to keep them a little bit safer(both you and the superhero). And probably a fear of rejection. So by her logic, him keeping information that could put her in danger a secret, all the while making sure to buy her nice gifts, leave notes, and doing his best to maintain their relationship and balance a life he's still new to makes him an asshole- because he wasn't ready to tell her yet -but her keeping it a secret that she knew is fine, even though the more responsible thing to do would be to just tell Mark " Hey, I know you're Invincible let's talk about how it's affecting our relationship." That's a five-month relationship at most, and he's been a hero for at most 9 months at this point(I think). She thinks he should be ready to tell her his biggest secret and that he's stringing her along just because he likes her but isn't ready to give up his biggest secret? He wanted to make it to all those dates, it's not his fault villains were attacking. He can't plan for stuff like that. He didn't even tell his best friend, whom he's known for a lot longer, and he was lying to him for just as long. He saw William less than he saw Amber, and William understood just fine. Sure, he's not romantically involved with Mark, but they're still close. I can understand her being mad at being lied to *if* she wasn't also lying through omission about knowing he's Invincible. But she knew for weeks that he was putting his life on the line to protect her and other people, and was still mad that he disappeared to save William and made a point to belittle him publicly for it. Even though she knew and saw that it was Mark getting his ass kicked by the cyborg while he was protecting everyone there. I don't think Amber can handle a relationship with a hero, but the comics handled the relationship better. In the comics, she thought he was involved with drugs, and that's why he was making bad excuses and missing dates. She realized the truth after talking with some friends about him, and they consummated their relationship. Her reasoning that he's making her feel stupid and unimportant kinda goes out the window when he literally does everything he can to keep you happy, and all you do is make crappy jokes and complain, the stupid thing is especially dumb since she knows he's a superhero and that the best superhero team on the planet was murdered a few months ago, why wouldn't he be cautious about who he tells? You called him out on his excuses for being late and he bought you an $800 gift to make up for one missed date. How are you feeling stupid or unimportant? Everything is already about you, and your clearly smart enough to figure out his secret identity. Eve showed that she wanted to start a relationship with Mark, but when she saw that he was with Amber, she backed off and even tried to help them stay together. That's someone Mark could realistically have a relationship with, without all the drama that comes with dating a regular person. Of course there's also the possibility she was lying to try to seem smart, but most of it still applies because she'll have realized he was doing the same stuff she's so proud of doing herself, helping people.
What's wrong with the color? Everything red and pink is grey. I even changed my tv settings and checked it out on my phone to make sure I'm not crazy. No one else sees the grey lips and Eve's half grey costume???
We have to remember finding out that your boyfriend who’s always canceling on you, disappears randomly, and constantly fumbles for a response why, is a superhero . You know, and neither of you say anything. What’s happening during the fight?
Season Two, Episode One Spoilers Below: Am I wrong for wanting to see Evil Mark's response to that scene with Amber? I can't help but imagine he'd ruthlessly laugh in her face like, "God, Dad was right. You people really are all self-absorbed, short-sighted insects. I'm out there saving lives, and you're upset because you feel unimportant compared to that? Ha! Hahahahaha! It'd be adorable if it wasn't so absurd!"
So, before you guys see the reveal, I've had this sympathy for Nolan. But idk, killing those soldiers and Donald like that was really uncalled for. Could have just done what he had to do without murdering them. So it brings the question if he regrets his actions there a little bit? Because, at least to me, its obvious that he regrets killing his fellow superhero friends.
After looking back on this episode I think mark and amber were supposed to be in parrell to Debbie and Nolan’s declining relationship. But to be Frank if that was the case the writing failed it’s purpose.
He wasn't the guy who killed Lincoln, he was Lincoln.
A lot of reactors seem to make that mistake. You'd think the beard would give it away.
@@benn454 the hair color too lol lol
I wonder why he faked his death as Lincoln
I'd say the way he's acting so far into season two, the writers either don't remember either or someone really hates Lincoln.
Canonically, he replaced Lincoln as POTUS when Lincoln died unexpectedly (well before the assassination), because they had a strong physical resemblance.

And that's a very true to life scenario - not everyone is meant for the person they end up dating for a while. So I don't have a problem with Amber being like this, just how the story treats their breakup.
Immortal’s name is Abraham for a reason 😂
The full Amber heel turn
Well, he DID steal Rex's DNA but it wasn't entirely vanity I don't think. Robot realised that Monster Girl actually WAS at least in a physical sense attracted to Rex; but Rex is such an intolerable douche that it removes any sexual attraction. Therefore Robot made a younger Rex, closer in appearance to Monster Girl so that he could experience human emotions with her.
Omniman knew Mark wouldn't die, and so wouldn't need help. They did the whole scene with the blood to explain that.
Can't wait for the season finally! It's going to be fun to rewatch.
The scene that cemented hatred of a character with amber, nothing like valuing yourself over literal lives, man’s out here getting himself beaten to a pulp regularly saving lives and she knows this but still acts like that
Kind of lost in everything but Mark just took out the same Kaiju his dad fought earlier singlehanded.
“Don’t bring his wife into this.”
Me: Oh, just wait 😂
The immortal was Lincoln
You know whats funny to me
1. MAPLE AND ARI (claps) Women THAT GET IT
2. Secret Identities are SECRET for a reason
3. Mark ISNT Nolan (think about that)
4. Amber if you knew, why you’re uoset about him saving lives then insulting him.
It's like Eve said a couple episodes ago. Once you tell somebody your secret identity, there's no going back. That is life-changing information that you are putting in someone else's hands, not knowing what they will do with it.
I like how you two use a darker shade/filter to censor it instead of making it black and white like most channels do.
When you finish 1x8, be sure to watch the Atom Eve special before jumping into season 2.
Amber is the embodiment of terrible communication. Like if she knew weeks ago, why not talk to him about it to solve it, work it out so Mark can feel better and save the world with a clear head, and Amber can stop being insufferable? To me it just doesn't make sense.
I can only assume that Amber was waiting for Mark to trust her with this information. But the thing is, Mark did not even tell his own best friend. And seemingly had no immediate plans to do so with anyone outside of the superhero community.
How DARE that misogynist pig value the lives of all his family over telling the truth to his girlfriend of a month or two. He clearly needs to study more social justice.
Since they didn't seem to get the satellite laser reference, they should watch Akira sometime
What will blow your mind is that, after Donald blows the house up, omni-man opens his fist and the shards of Donald's spine fall out of it. Then he flys off.
Loved your reaction to this episode Maple and Arianna!😃 I cannot wait for your reaction to the finale, cuz damn!
Immortal never really dies he always comes back hence his name
Invincible is the character that goes through most in the comics and never really parishes no matter how bad he gets hurt that’s why his name is invincible
I love that Maple believes in the celebrates cloning themselves and the D.E.W.'s (Directed Energy Weapons)!! I never thought of that in connection with this show, but it's all right there for us to see. Nice job! 🙂
I will forever mention this. Why would Nolan reveal himself to William? As far as he knows, William doesn’t know that Mark is Invincible, therefore wouldn’t know that Nolan was Omni Man. I think about this every time I watch this episode.
Because at this point, I think Nolan is aware that the jig is up. He is way past caring about secret identities at this point. The only thing that was of concern to him is making sure that he could keep his family together and at the same time go about his mission.
William opened the conversation with "omni m.. mr. grayson." so before omni man even spoke William admitted that he knew who he was.
@@SnowyWolborg agreed agreed
Longbeachgriffey’s “when mark told Amber he was invincible” nails it perfectly.
Amber is insane
If Amber knew then basically just waited for Mark to mess up just so she could be mad. Why not just say something? Or just understand why someone might not reveal their secret identity? Feels toxic.
Also the Immortal is Lincoln...
I've been watching for a lil while now and i gotta say Arianna is my fav, she always reacts the same way i do xD
don’t forget about the Atom Eve special
People thought Omni-man was Superman but he was actually a Saiyan
He makes Saiyans look like primitive apes.
Even the whole Viltrumite aspect of sending one person to conquer a world is Saiyan like
I recently found your channel and just love it I like how you all actually react, and not interrupting everything and talking through details of show and actually paying attention new subscriber for sure
20:15 Immortal WAS Lincoln
Can't wait for the next episode. Love yalls reactions more than most others to the show
I've checked back everyday and it still hasn't released :(
So if anyone ever had any doubts about whether Omni-Man belongs or even deserves to be in a MK game, take a look ladies and gents. lol. This man fits RIGHT IN. lol I mean splitting a dude in half and having his torso slide across the kitchen counter??? If that's not a Fatality, then what is?? lol
that woulda been a funny fatality. omni man pushes you and magically a kitchen counter appears behind you lol
@@Diegesis The thing is that Omni-Man does quite a few things that are FATALITY worthy.
Backhanding the Immortal's head right off
Slamming Darkwing onto the floor and splattering his brains and intestines.
Crushing a pilot's head with just a single hand.
Crushing Donald's spine. Dude was MADE for MK. LOL. I mean Omni-Man is exactly what Superman would be if he had zero connection to humanity and was out to conquer.
Immortal didn’t kill Lincoln. He was Lincoln’s body double.
I was like damn you and me watched very different versions of "This is Us" 😂😂😂😂
Haha
Damn i didn't expect my comment from the video of last episode to make it in this one, thanks guys ❤
20:16 No, they're saying he was Lincoln Arianna.
I love how Arianna subconsciously seems to be associating Viltrumites with Saiyans but doesn't quite seem aware of it.
These last 2 episodes…HOT DAMN!!!
Amber is the true villain of Invincible!
"It was Omni-Monnn" while dead serious got me rolling somehow
9:13 one thing forever can be said. Even Omni man knows that man had a spine
Amber is terrible.
yeah, easily the weakest part of the show
@@Sig509they fix her at least new season
We need that episode eight reaction stat
Omg I had one of those tvs that would randomly go fuzzy and you would have to slap the shit out of it to make it work. And then being a kid with insomnia watching tv at night and then having to throw hands with your 20inch at 2am. Not the bee's knees.
Okay lets break it down as the show has portrayed it. Using only information from the show and comics. Amber was angry Mark wasn't spending enough time with her because he was off saving people's lives. She was also angry he didn't tell her his secret identity-that she figured out for herself but never mentioned or hinted that she knew. Then got mad at him for prioritizing saving countless people's lives over getting to their dates on time. Never mind the fact that he was going out of his way to get gifts or trying to do other thoughtful things for her to make up for it as she herself said. Or that he was almost killed a few days ago, and was in the hospital for around 6 days. Amber had every right to be mad that he was late when she didn't know he was a superhero, but as soon as she figured it out, and still wanted to get mad at him for not being on time, she lost any sympathy she had from me. Keeping his secret doesn't mean he doesn't trust you, that's not the reason superheroes keep their identities a secret from their loved ones most of the time, it's just a way to try to keep them a little bit safer(both you and the superhero). And probably a fear of rejection.
So by her logic, him keeping information that could put her in danger a secret, all the while making sure to buy her nice gifts, leave notes, and doing his best to maintain their relationship and balance a life he's still new to makes him an asshole- because he wasn't ready to tell her yet -but her keeping it a secret that she knew is fine, even though the more responsible thing to do would be to just tell Mark " Hey, I know you're Invincible let's talk about how it's affecting our relationship."
That's a five-month relationship at most, and he's been a hero for at most 9 months at this point(I think). She thinks he should be ready to tell her his biggest secret and that he's stringing her along just because he likes her but isn't ready to give up his biggest secret?
He wanted to make it to all those dates, it's not his fault villains were attacking. He can't plan for stuff like that. He didn't even tell his best friend, whom he's known for a lot longer, and he was lying to him for just as long. He saw William less than he saw Amber, and William understood just fine. Sure, he's not romantically involved with Mark, but they're still close. I can understand her being mad at being lied to *if* she wasn't also lying through omission about knowing he's Invincible. But she knew for weeks that he was putting his life on the line to protect her and other people, and was still mad that he disappeared to save William and made a point to belittle him publicly for it. Even though she knew and saw that it was Mark getting his ass kicked by the cyborg while he was protecting everyone there.
I don't think Amber can handle a relationship with a hero, but the comics handled the relationship better. In the comics, she thought he was involved with drugs, and that's why he was making bad excuses and missing dates. She realized the truth after talking with some friends about him, and they consummated their relationship. Her reasoning that he's making her feel stupid and unimportant kinda goes out the window when he literally does everything he can to keep you happy, and all you do is make crappy jokes and complain, the stupid thing is especially dumb since she knows he's a superhero and that the best superhero team on the planet was murdered a few months ago, why wouldn't he be cautious about who he tells? You called him out on his excuses for being late and he bought you an $800 gift to make up for one missed date. How are you feeling stupid or unimportant? Everything is already about you, and your clearly smart enough to figure out his secret identity.
Eve showed that she wanted to start a relationship with Mark, but when she saw that he was with Amber, she backed off and even tried to help them stay together. That's someone Mark could realistically have a relationship with, without all the drama that comes with dating a regular person. Of course there's also the possibility she was lying to try to seem smart, but most of it still applies because she'll have realized he was doing the same stuff she's so proud of doing herself, helping people.
YESSS! So excited for you to see the Finale!
Donald weaved the shit out of Omni man ngl. Must be the machinery in him
bruh, she said DEW and I was just like, ok marry me please. lmao
You guys should react to blue eyed samurai
Maple knows what went down in Lahaina
That "direct energy weapon" is called a Casaba Howitzer, and its a type of nuke. The US had a plan to put 500 of those on a "battleship" in space.
What's wrong with the color? Everything red and pink is grey. I even changed my tv settings and checked it out on my phone to make sure I'm not crazy. No one else sees the grey lips and Eve's half grey costume???
It's probably either a censor for all the blood so they don't get demonetized, or so they don't get a copyright strike.
It's to censor the blood
Release episode 8!
NEW SUB! Yall chill af
I can not wait till the next episode god damn!
most people hated how standoffish amber was throughout the series but this episode cemented her as the worst character in the entire show.
Omniman literally kills hundred? Thousand? Of innocent people😭
Amber is just a selfish teenager
@@zoex3316 But we're supposed to be against Omni-man. The show wanted us to like Amber.
Oooo they need to watch Young Frankenstein asap
We have to remember finding out that your boyfriend who’s always canceling on you, disappears randomly, and constantly fumbles for a response why, is a superhero . You know, and neither of you say anything. What’s happening during the fight?
The blood in the title card next episode🥶🥶🥶🥶
New follower here! I’m in LOVE with your personalities ❤. Can’t wait to see the last one. Your predictions have been on the nose af 😂
RIP Bobby Hill
I really hope you guys would react to Arcane next , such a good series
2:14 the chopped hand tho...
5:48 holy shit lol
Immoral was Abraham Lincoln, can't wait for y'alls reaction to the finale
Season Two, Episode One Spoilers Below:
Am I wrong for wanting to see Evil Mark's response to that scene with Amber?
I can't help but imagine he'd ruthlessly laugh in her face like, "God, Dad was right. You people really are all self-absorbed, short-sighted insects. I'm out there saving lives, and you're upset because you feel unimportant compared to that? Ha! Hahahahaha! It'd be adorable if it wasn't so absurd!"
How is Amber different than Rex trying to get Eve back, again?
So, before you guys see the reveal, I've had this sympathy for Nolan. But idk, killing those soldiers and Donald like that was really uncalled for. Could have just done what he had to do without murdering them. So it brings the question if he regrets his actions there a little bit?
Because, at least to me, its obvious that he regrets killing his fellow superhero friends.
immortal didn't kill lincoln. he WAS lincoln
How come everyone who sees the Lincoln bit thinks hes john wilks booth and not Lincoln? Ive met only one person who knew
Donald went like a champ.
The channel name sounds like die jesvs. I didn't know the word diegesis b4
21:25 is that the shapesmith guy?
After looking back on this episode I think mark and amber were supposed to be in parrell to Debbie and Nolan’s declining relationship. But to be Frank if that was the case the writing failed it’s purpose.
The Immortal Was not the one who killed Abraham Lincoln, The Immortal was Abraham Lincoln. At least in the Invincible universe.
Wheres episode 8, maple arianna?
Why does everyone think he's immortal Is "John Wilkes Booth" I know they look a like but look at Lincoln my man is smiling
