Invincible (2021– )
5/10
Season Two is DISAPPOINTING
14 April 2024
I rated Season One 9/10, but Season Two was a huge disappointment. As a Robert Kirkland fan and an adamant reader of the comic book I felt Season Two has gone way too far from the source material. The storytelling and plot has become too convoluted and burdened down by whiny teenage emotional drama. Furthermore, it was bad enough that this season is basically a soap opera, but many episodes also turn into therapy sessions often with characters sobbing in tears. Maybe I'm old school but superheroes crying every episode does not feel very super. Lastly, three major storytelling tropes that I highly dislike are multidimensional portals, time travel paradoxes and numerous fake deaths put them together in one season and we all just wasted hours of our lives because each of these tropes fixes everything and anything. These plot escape holes have become redundant, frustrating and annoying. Usually, using tropes in this manner means lazy writing and a cash grab, thusly I'm done with Invincible.
