This Was Supposed to Be Easy

This is the kind of episode I like to see in a series in general.

Very often we are so engaged in the events of a story that we forget the fact that we are watching real people deal with scenarios and and situations varying in ethics and heavy with responsibility and doubt.

This episode did a very good job of balancing out the fast-paced season with some good character moments and interactions and many intertwined plots moving together seamlessly.

The opening scene was, let's just say "unique" and I love the fact that I finally get to see these characters be real people. This builds attachment and a connection to the story and its events and keeps you engaged.

The sound design and mixing were far better than the previous episode (with great music taste) and there were moments of genuinely good animation which surprised me.

I wish they used this style in the previous episode but whatever. Looking forward to this season.

This season is s big and boring mess.

All the side characters and the B-plots are getting out of hand. This episode was 40 minutes boring people, 10 minutes of action and 3 minutes of actually advancing the story.

Invincible is the "strongest" he's ever been and he's gettin beat up by random villains. He doesn't wanna work with "bad people" but there he goes helping the same villain who betrayed him las season.

I've never read the comic and I don't care to. I just want the main story to progress. They have done nothing with the viltrumites! Every nee episode feels like time outside earth is paused until the writers decide to finally bring them back again.

Even tho this episode is "inconsequential" to the greater overall narrative of invincible, I think this episode provides a lot of good world building and character building for side characters in invincible. I like the small subplot with oliver, helps to humanize him after seeing him be a murderous sociopath a couple episodes ago. I really enjoy the titan subplot personally, it was one of my favorite episodes in S1 and I'm really glad we came back to it. They also brought back machine head which is great cause he was way to entertaining to be a one off character. Invincible himself kind of takes a back seat throughout, which is ok honestly cause I feel like his characterization throughout this season has been pretty messy. I'm also not a fan of the constant heart to heart chit chats between him and eve, just cause it feels like a lot of tell and not show. A lot of emotions getting talked at to you and it just becomes disengaging and cheap. But overall really enjoyed this episode and it's lowkey my favorite episode of the season so far.

The episode is really ok, and my complaints are pretty lame, considering we're talking about super-hero animation... but they could still do a better job at "money" thing.

A super strong and durable man that can fly and a girl who can create anything including gold and jewelry cannot find a safe way to make money?!!!

Mark could rescue people lost in mountains, honorable and safe. I bet they'd be willing to pay the cost of flying helicopter there.

Or even move furniture. He could work like whole team with a truck.

Or just flight things like "extreme flight with a superhero", "sky diving assistant/photographer".

And if making jewelry is illegal, Eve could still make something expensive, like high quality custom design glasses.

Okay not GONNA LIE this week was like not all that good i mean not as good as last week. Last week was amazing but you guys really gotta chill it was terrible this was still a good ep dont tell me your attention span is so cooked you cant get through one ep. 3x5 was the blandest ep but not a 7 a solid 8 imo it had thoughtful character development. The emotional weight of Mark's personal struggles adds n while the sharp humor n dynamic fight sequences keep the tension high. The animation is good as usual. Fans will find a way to hate an ep but keep watching trust me its only going up from here..
