Invincible (Page 1 of 2)

Judging from the trailer it's completely different, their Hulk err i mean green big transforming creature is female.

I watched the first 2 episodes with my 13yr old daughter and she commented that these were like the Walmart version of superheroes......made me lol.

Just watched the first 3 episodes.  I like it.

Yeah, some of the characters are cheap copies of known heroes, but I dare you to come up with a hero with a totally unique name and power set.  ANYTHING you come up with will be able to be traced back and compared to an already existing hero (or villian).

Ater the 1st episode, my brain automatically switched to translating the names into those of their DC counterparts, it made the show reasonably watchable!

Love Doom Patrol.  Loved it when it was only a comic. 

I'll agree the characters are pretty unique (in more ways than one), but you can still say that Elasti Woman is Plasticman gone wrong, Robotman is a primitive Cyborg (or maybe Cyborg is and advanced Robotman) and Negative man is the Mummy crossed with...OK, can't thing of anything for that one.

But yeah, Doom Patrol was a good one to bring up.

I expected it to be unwatchable judging by the comments in this thread, but I kinda liked it. Yes it has the same basic heroes from DC/Marvel, and yes it takes inspiration from the boys, and even from superman & lois (or maybe it's the other way around, i dont know what was made first.) But that doesn't bother me at all strangely enough.

I was enough entertained to watch all the 3 episodes in one go.

Edit: My biggest complaint would be the voice acting of JK Simmons. Took a while to ignore it.

Loved the weird ending (particularly weird for an American show). No resolution of the plot or any of the subplots, just a sudden end to the violence and then "wait and see".

This show has grown on me - and the cast is absolutely stellar. I will certainly watch a 2nd series, if there is one.

It's your lucky day.

It's pretty good, but if you've never watched a cartoon before MAWS you'd be well served to go watch Justice League and Justice League Unlimited

Are we watching the same series? Most of the carbon copy super heroes get merked by their version of Superman at the very end of the first ep.

Then the show is a slow burn animated "The Boys" if superheroes weren't rockstars and were actual superheroes, but with the realities of combat.

Watching Season 1 made me pick up the comics, which as a completed series in the early 00's. There's a lot of potential honestly, and season 1 was actually good on it's own imo.

It would be really nice if they would leave out the foul language. It is not needed and only offends a lot of people. The blood and guts don't seem to be necessary either.
