Invincible (2021– )
4/10
Overrated middling show
9 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
TL;DR: Season 1: alright, Season 2: boring, Overall: plot armor everywhere

Season 1: A good first watch, but hard to get through on a revisit. So much of the plot gets held up by uninteresting drama and inconsequential action. Barely anything of consequence happens outside the first and last episodes. The dialogue is often cringe.

Season 2: Far less interesting than season 1. It's practically all setup and no payoff. Aside from episode 4, nothing with any real stakes happens. I enjoyed seeing the Guardians valiantly lose that fight but by the end of the season, none of them were actually dead. It's laughable this show parades around with it's excessive violence and gore yet no one main or side character ever dies or ends up deformed.

Overall: Maybe it's a by product of the source material, but this safety net, where every character with a first name has plot armor, deflates any tension I once felt for this show and its universe.
