                  1. So I really liked Invincible and think you should watch it. I say this because I'm gonna complain about it for a bit, and people always assume that Mo complaining = he hates thing

                  I actually dislike the majority of the characters in the series? Which is weird because the guy can definitely write likable characters I mean I like Mark

                Some of them are meant to be punchable like the bully character (Todd I think?) from episode one or Omni Man. But then you've got like Amber, who I already complained about and Rex. I liked William at first but he gets annoying.

              Wouldn't be a problem on its own, but between all the selfish assholes, the annoying brats, the poverty, the exploitation, the random supervillains who kill for fun, and the one-off comments about how we're destroying the planet, humanity kinda feels like a lame species

            So when Nolan is all "after the Viltrimites take over we can end war and give everyone healthcare" like, metatextually my brain understands that this is a space colonizer and fascist. But diagstically his point of view hasn't been proven wrong...

          ...beyond, I guess, humans being important to Mark, a person we like. I've seen a lot of anime you know. They tend to have a really developed understanding of why humanity is worth protecting. Anyway this all kind of goes hand in hand with the show's liberalism.

        Like, what does it mean to have a female lead who's "into" fourth wave feminism if the narrative doesn't challenge (or even explore, really) the fundamental systems that generate the oppression that fourth wave feminists complain about?

      I guess the show is "anti-fascist" and "a commentary on imperialism" to the extent that liberals understand what these things are. Which, y'know, they don't? So, yeah

    Where Invincible is really strong is as a story about abuse. Nolan is an abusive father. He loves his son, but it's because he loves his son that he's able to abuse him, to override his priorities with his own, to assault him. That angle was well done and worth watching unfold
