I like this capeshit.

Invincible is a new show on Amazon Prime that just finished its first season.

If you like capeshit, pirate or watch it.

Downsides: the US military is made out to be good guys

Upsides: nice spin on coming-of-age superhero stuff edit: and every character has vulnerabilities that matter

    im not familiar with the comic, but yeah being completely faithful to the source material is often a mistake (i.e. The Boys comic was shit, but the show is okay and changes a lot of things)

      the original old man logan comic (not the newer ongoing on) is one of the strangest marvel comics i've ever read. it takes place in the future, blah blah blah, but one of the main villains is the hulk's children...who he had with his COUSIN she-hulk. it's so fucking weird and gross.

      can you imagine if in the movie logan the hulk and she-hulk's incest babies as villains? jesus christ

      the more comics cut out terrible, awful plotlines the better

      The comic was very good, this adaptation runs through arc really fast was and i think thats good, and if you ignore how some arcs are earlier that they should and the power levels of the non-viltrumites, this was a very faithfull adaptation, but you are right about the comic of the Boys it was bad and the show is better because of the liberties it takes

        The Boys really bad, and this is coming from someone who actually likes Garth Ennis. I held off on watching the show for quite a while because of it.

        I mean there seems to be a lot more violence against women/sexual assault in the comics than there are consensual relationships. The gender swaps the show makes for many characters also make more sense to me.
