Invincible on Amazon Prime - 05/22/21 02:12 AM
I'm going to preface this by saying as of this writing, I've only watched up through the second of six episodes. But that's only because I have to sleep. I'm also not familiar with the original work, so this is my opinion going in fairly fresh.
Preface number 2 is that you probably shouldn't watch this if you don't like gore, real or animated. I'll admit right out of the gate that this aspect of the show is probably the most "edgy" thing to make people come back and watch (kinda like sex was in Game of Thrones at the beginning). But if you're a fan of the Super Hero trope, and want to see a slightly different take on it, mixed with the next generation takes over from the prior, this is a show you'll enjoy.
It's also very well paced and gives you the "tell me what's next" hunger to make you watch the whole show in a day. It's been a while since I've watched a super hero serial that makes me want to keep watching.
Even though I have a pretty good idea where the end of this is going to lead (I mean, c'mon, its a superhero story after all, and I have some gray just like Omni-man, although I hope that's where the comparison stops), the ride so far has been great.
And if you're a fan of the Legion of Super Heroes, you probably will enjoy this just due to the Teen Team, which is basically the Titans but with Legionnaires. You'll know when you see them.
Interested to hear what others thought about the series.
