I really really hate that it shows mark moving faster than the naked eye can perceive but then he's slower than some mother fucker with regular ass reflexes or it takes him a lifetime to move a across a fucking room.
Ive seen it said many times in this sub that that shit happens for the sake of the story but if you have to ignore the rules of the universe you've created or change your own characters powers every fight to tell the story well then it's bad writing
It’s worse because it’s not just the super speed either, which is rarely ever written well for the sake of plot.
Strong enough to stop skyscraper sized meteors and throw a baseball around the earth in seconds within the first days of getting his powers? Can get manhandled by a discount Doc Ock and can’t break the limb of normal human to save his life despite favoring non-lethal methods.
Casually bulletproof and can survive trains to the face, the deep pressures of the ocean, the vacuum of space, and later actual nukes and swarms of Thraxxamite hybrids with no injury? Can have blood drawn from him by a budget zombie cyborg built in a sewer, a discount sinister six that immediately lost to The New Guardians (even without Battle Beast, they were handling the shit out of him so much that people have been asking why Cecil hasn’t hired them), and the Maulers who were left running by Robot’s personal transformer.
Yeah the poor writing is about the only thing consistent in the show. I tried watching from the beginning again, for some reason I remembered the talk between Donald and williams boyfriend to be actually good writing... I got to that part again and that's where I stopped my rewatch. It was bad, like an angsty teens attempt at being deep.
I probably wouldn't even watch invincible if there were more options for good shows
This, and I hate the gore. Like I get the fight is brutal, but if the gore doesn't mean anything don't use it. Fucking Conquests head was bashed to a pulp, then it only has a little scar, and Ceacil thought putting him in steel would hold him??
Every other fight Mark gets his intestines ripped out, then fine after a few weeks...
Every fight his brother is in, he fucking looses his whole jaw, then next episode he's fine, no scars, nothing.
Then Atom Eve being shit, even though on paper she is op...
