EARLY ACCESS: Invincible 2x2 FULL REACTION (Patreon)

Invincible might not boast the most original storytelling, it undeniably carves out its own distinctive style. Episode two kicks off reminiscent of Spiderman, with the show's unique humor infusing more amusement than awe into the Doc Seismic fight. Mark's final strike is visually stunning, hinting at a promising future.

The name drop, as customary by this point, is executed with precision. The new scheme unfolds entirely, revealing a transformation. Where last season's blood stained Invincible's emerging reputation, the entire title now crumbles like shattered glass or charred flakes of forged steel. Could it be a shift from black and red to blue and black letters which symbolizes Mark dismantling his father's dark legacy while confronting its reality?

Numerous narrative threads gracefully unravel, each tied together by strong, consistent, and meaningful visual motifs. Monuments, buildings, monsters, and Mark himself all sink into the ground. The reconstructed cabinet door and malfunctioning mailbox reflect everyone's struggle to move on from the unimaginable.

Eve's storyline is intimate, though it may seem a bit rushed. Watching her spinoff feature adds necessary depth and context, allowing a fuller appreciation of the pace and deeper nature of her conflict with her parents. Her story and powers emerge as some of the most original and exciting superhero elements in recent memory.
