Spoilers Invincible (Prime Video)

[theenglish]

I have not watched Season 3 yet, but I'm reading the series from the beginning. I am now just starting where Season 2 is in the comics. This series has done a pretty good job of sticking to the comics main storyline while moving the chronology of events around slightly. There are details in the comics which have been omitted, but I can see the reasons why those choices were made.

Would fans like a movie adaptation if they turned down the gore? I mean even with an R rating ( that may be hard to do for a big budget movie even with a built in fan base) it feels sometimes more like these splatter gore horror movies than a "normal" superhero story.

Is the story dependent on the brutality and blood? I'm not sure and if it were at the MCU or DCU levels of blood, i.e. only light and certainly not ripping out guts blood fountain level that we often enough see on the animated show or in the comics, it could be interesting enough for a wider audience and thus make money.

The gore is stylistic in both the series and the comics. It wouldn't work if the animation or the comics art were more realistic. I think Invincible could totally work with the graphic violence toned down. It's not the violence, but the characters that make the story work.

Not having read the comics, but having seen this come up in sci-fi/fantasy/comic stuff. Going to guess Eve's powers fritz out because Mark knocked her up.

The show has already been renewed for a fifth season.

Haven't read the Invincible comics either, but for any who have and want to hazard a guess - at the storytelling rate they're been going - how many more seasons (assuming 8 'hour' long episodes per which I believe has been the pattern) would it need to tell the whole story as seen in the comic's run?

I haven't read it either, but it's a comic book with issue number 144, and they adapt 20 issues per season. They last adapted issue 60. They should continue until season 7.

IIRC, Robert Kirkman has said somewhere that 8 seasons is what the show should have to tell the story he wants it to.

 

[theenglish]

I thought maybe 6 or 7 (if the final arc is 8 episodes) seasons. That said, from the trailer it looked like they were well beyond issue #80 in the story. That said, earlier in the show's run they included clips from beyond the next season in their looks at future episodes.

 

[Verteron]

So Season 4's off with a bang. I think the opening three episodes have been pretty strong - animation quality is good, pacing is good, loved the extended backstory for the Viltrumites and The Scourge virus we didn't get in the comics. I almost felt sympathy for them until Nolan going over his past deeds reminded me they are a species of blood thirsty genocidal conquerers.

 

[Skipper]

I wonder how the Viltrumites ever developed an interest in science and technology. I mean, most of the great scientific discoveries were made to cover up our human shortcomings. The Viltrumites don't need fire to keep warm, they don't need transportation, they don't need to breathe. By their own admission, they're only interested in combat and conquest. I can believe they've absorbed the scientific knowledge of conquered peoples, but it doesn't seem to me that they're a people who look favorably on pursuing a career in science.

Haven't seen the new episodes yet, but in the comics it's shown that Viltrumites had technology before they got their powers (at least the full extent of their powers).

I can't believe this season crept up on me. I bought the entire series on Comixology over a decade ago and reread up until the events of season three last year. I want to re-read the stories from this season before watching anything.

I'd compare them to the Klingons. On the surface they all appear to be warriors, but there are actually scientists, inventors, engineers, logistics clerks, teachers. They take a back seat to a certain extent, but they all view their work as part of the honourable effort to continue the Empire and their species.

Perhaps as theenglish suggests, much of their technology originates from before their current apex martial culture, but it's clear they can build and maintain their technology and do have scientists and surgeons as we saw when they tried to cure The Scourge.

As they've expanded their Empire they may also use conquered species to do their admin work for them, under close supervision, of course.

My observation comes from a panel of the comic where Omni-Man explains their history to Allen.

I would also presume that they enjoy a comfortable lifestyle when not conquering worlds. It is probably a lot nicer to fly someplace in a relaxing starship then fly there on your own.
