When Anissa showed up

[avisisisis]

my favorite moment in invincible is during the 5 year time skip (INVINCIBLE COMIC SPOILERS)

i do agree that the time travel was done in a somewhat awkward way and that if the series ever gets to that scene, it should try to change it for the better. but-

but that moment, man.

“saving the world would mean killing my daughter”. mark is given the chance to fix everything, to save everyone. but he doesn't take it, because he has a little kid back at home

this is mark grayson, at his most selfish. this is the hero deciding to not be heroic. it would mean killing my daughter, he says, and It's surprised that he didn't choose the more heroic path. he would trade the world for his daughter. he wouldn't trade his daughter for the world

he chooses to let everyone die again. he chooses to not fix it, to not save them. he doesn't regret it (he would do it again in a heartbeat)

something about sinclair working in an abandoned clock tower... trying to buy more time for the human race... working against the aging process, death, the natural progression of time on the body... and being the only one in this scene (barring kate, who may or may not be affected by her powers) with a regular human lifespan

because he can't escape that. if he can postpone his own death, it won't be long enough to make a difference in... their world. he's only human, after all. thousands of years later there will be nothing left of him but the things he built to keep others alive (whether or not they want to be).

up to issue 36 now. more show/comic differences i've noted:

mark is WAYYYY less self-aware/sensitive/insecure in the comics at this point. "i dont wanna talk about it" is practically his catchphrase. he's also way less conflicted about what he feels towards nolan. he's a little freaked out by the prospect of killing but he doesn't seem to be scared of turning out evil or anything. comic!mark maintains this sort of dangerous naivete/arrogance that show!mark had already begun to transform into self-loathing/exhaustion by s2. very fascinating

Ive seen some people talking about Anissa from invincible since she has just made her appearance in the show. And the knee-jerk reaction of people who have read to the comics to dogpile on those who think shes cool or hot or whatever because of the SA she commits later in the story. But i would like to point out that right now in the show she hasn’t done anything like that yet. Most viewers of the show have not seen the comics and so judging people on liking her right now is a bit unfair.

While i know that as someone who’s seen the comics its tempting to spoil aspects of the story when you see ppl being “down bad” or whatever for a piece of shit, we definitely shouldn’t do that to ppl who have not seen the comics. I dont love the opinion that many ppl tend to hold that “it’s not spoilers. The book/comic/manga has been out for years.” If someone prefers to view a story without knowing what’s going to happen, we, as people who have read the comics, should respect that.

People are allowed to enjoy villains, and Anissa is a compelling one. Once we get to that point in the story, people opinions will change. Until then, they are allowed to judge a character by what they’ve seen in the show rather than what they’ve been told will happen.

Dick Grayson 🤝 Mark Grayson

Turning 20 while they were off in space

Invincible (2003) #79 and Secret Origins (1986) #13

[mikewheelerfan2022]

I recently re-read the Invincible comics, and wow it’s kind of crazy how much the show movies around events for the better.

(Minor comic spoilers ahead)

In the comics, the whole thing with Robot regrowing a new body happens after the Omni-Man fight. Like way after. And the mission to Mars happens after too. There are probably some more examples that I’m blanking on right now.

I think it makes way more sense for these events to happen before the Omni-Man fight. It makes everything feel so…developed. More so than the comics. I don’t really know how to describe it.

Anyways I’m hyped for Part 2 of Season 2!

[queenkinqs]

mark and dinosaurus really do love each other :( not even in an inherently shipping type of way but the fact that they see so much potential in each other and have such a deep trust for one another when the entire world is against them. and the fact that mutual trust and love and respect retroactively haunts the narrative for the rest of the comic :(

MARK GRAYSON CRUSH & DATING HEADCANONS

CRUSH

when he first saw you in the hallway at school, you caught his eye

he was just talking to William and when you passed by him, all his attention on William shifted to you

he couldn’t help it, you were just so mesmerizing

he didn’t fall in love with you immediately since he didn’t really knew what you were like yet

when he did get the chance to though, thats when he was head over heels for you

the more he spends time with you, the more he realizes how his heart beats faster whenever you’re around

whenever you talk to him, he often stutters and mixes up his words

it’s embarrassing for him, but its cute

whenever you tease him, his face just turns red and he tries to tease you back

Mark would mention you a lot to his parents

the first time you came over to help him study, his mom, Debbie asked “Mark, isn’t this the person you often talk about at dinner?”

Mark just stood there, red as a tomato and immediately denied

DATING

eventually he asked you out and you said yes

ever since he got his powers and became Invincible, he would often come late to dates

he would always come up to you, panting while his hand was holding flowers for you or a small gift

he would remember little things about you and try his best to make sure the gift he gives you is something you would like

you heard him apologize a dozen times already about how late he was

of course, you had no idea at the time about his powers and everything so you just assumed he’s being rude on purpose

this led to many fights

you both were able to work it out each time though by communication

when Mark finally told you he’s Invincible after another argument about him being late, you stood there thinking he’s probably making another excuse

“You don’t believe me? Fine.”

Mark then proceeds to float up in the air, his feet were off the ground

that’s when it hit you and made you realize why he was late all of the time

he wasn’t lying, he IS Invincible

ever since that day, your relationship with Mark was stronger than ever

you often had to make excuses for him, but you didn’t really mind (it can get annoying after multiple times)

he would often call you petnames — babe, baby

he would definitely love to cuddle with you and sleep beside you

Mark loves to admire you and think about how lucky he is to have you

TONY STARK IN HIS WEDDING SUIT — Invincible Iron Man (2022) #10

[crismakesstuff]

i’m sorry but I hate immortal and kate as a pairing, that man is such a sleeazeball for sleeping with a girl that’s probably not even 20 yet

nolan come back and kill his ass AGAIN‼️

[teeo-sherry]

they had so much to unpack but no spin-off to unpack in

[bamboozled-distress]

omniman doesn’t even need his whole redemption arc, him simply saying “i think i miss my wife” has like actually altered my brain like he’s already redeemed to me like do you know how insane it is for literally everything he’s done and how uncleansed he is and how he knew he couldn’t go back and through everything when he knows he’s going to die he just. he misses his wife. he misses his wife he misses his wife he misses his wife he misses his wife he misses his wi

SPOILER FOR INVINCIBLE COMICS

I still think that Mark´s fight with Conquest should have been the "1 event in 1 issue" story instead of Invincible War
