Invincible 2x08 'I Thought You Were Stronger' | First Time Reaction

In the comics, Agent Spider actually WAS spiderman, but guess they couldn't get the rights from sony 😭

Steven Yeun does an incredible job at voice casting. You can see the anger and despair of Mark when he unleashes his 100% unto Levy.

Mark spilled so much chocolate syrup this episode.

11:32 When Angstrom walks through and just teleports those two random dudes to who knows where had me laughing LOL. I hope he sent them somehere better, but like, they are NEVER getting back to their true home lol

He covered in poopy

hearing Sterling K. Brown as Angstrom Levy makes me want to hear Sterling K. Brown do more voice acting!! knowing his voice acting is AS good as his physical acting makes me appreciate him so much more. ❤️

Yeah, everyone I know says the exact same thing about Angstrom when he tosses Oliver. They quote him saying "I have no intention of hurting your brother or your mother." then they comment that he just tosses Oliver aside. But they conveniently leave out the second part of that quote. which is "UNLESS I deem that the only way to harm you is to harm them." So he in fact corrects everyone who calls him a liar.

Debbie was the real super hero of this episode especially when she put Angstrom Levi in his place

I don't think people notice how affectionate Oliver was for the entirety of this season from start to finish. From reaching out to Mark when held by Andressa in the cave, "brah brah," holding Debbie when she was unconscious etc.

God I love the VA work in this ep. Sterling K Brown crushes it as Angstrom, Steven Yeun brings so much emotion to every line, and J.K. Simmons' delivery on that last line is just so so perfect.

12:46 Wrong. Levy specifically said that HE is the only one that was born with the ability to access other dimensions.

S1 & S2 cover the introductory arcs in the comics. S1 ends saying this is not a traditional comic story. S2 is setting the personalities of the characters from the main course, ep1-3 of s2 are about trying to move on and failing, Mark with his friends but he's not training and is constantly looking for new street level threats, Amber has become an enabler, Eve is focusing on rebuilding despite her being so powerful, etc. 4-6 is everybody learning to trust. And 7-8 is confrontation with the future they cannot distract themselves away from what will come. S3 is things getting real.

I'm not giving any spoilers, but you need to know, the fun part begins now. I have read the comics, and the part upto this point is just the plot building. The real story starts now. Season 3 will blow over the internet.

See, the whole time Alan is talking to Nolan I'm thinking to myself "Alan, DUDE; just TELL Nolan that your Coalition Leader is a Viltrumite. THAT alone will peak Nolan's interest. At least enough to WANT to escape." to hear that a Viltrumite actually opposed his people and lived....that would definitely get my attention.

16:52 Eve letting Mark know other Eve has feelings for him while simultaneously giving him an opportunity to see what she’ll look like in 20 years was pretty goated

Yeah using brown for the blood censorship was an amazing choice

I know some show only watchers say this felt like filler, or wasn't as bombastic as season 1. But all this is in the comics, and it's needed for the setup for the show going forward, as many of these things play into it. I also feel like some people are just not getting this show is not about big gory deaths, over the top fights, or shock value like say The Boys. It's about actual character growth. I love The Boys, the show, not the comic. The comic is horrible imo, but people need to stop thinking Invincible is gonna do what that show does. This has been a almost 1:1 to the comic, and it's glorious to see something adapted so faithfully with only improvements, and slightly changing the order of events to better pace it..

After spending the whole season denying that he’s his father, Mark proved Angstrom right by beating him lifeless (just like Nolan did to him), that Mark is his father’s son. And that’s needed for the fight against Viltrumites

Just like Mark Eve doesn't use her powers to their full potential. She has the ability to kill hundreds at a time. An example would be say turning the wings and engines of an airborne fully loaded commercial airliner to dust. She gets Mark as she's no killer either. Unlike everyone else except for Debbie she knew that Mark wasn't looking for justifications for his actions. She had been justified in killing her siblings who were trying to kill her. However they., Her and Mark didn't deserve the pain and anger . Eve's probably also aware that in the possible coming war Mark will be in the center of it and will probably have to kill again.

Debbie is the absolute MVP of motherhood.
