Summary
Reviewers say 'Invincible' is acclaimed for mature themes, complex characters, and subverting superhero tropes. The series is celebrated for intense action, emotional depth, and standout voice acting by Steven Yeun and J.K. Simmons. However, some criticize inconsistent animation and less engaging side plots. Certain characters are deemed underdeveloped or annoying. The blend of gore and humor is both praised and faulted, with mixed reactions to its mature content. Overall, 'Invincible' is viewed as a bold, refreshing superhero series with notable flaws.
Featured reviews
Invincible really increases the standards in animated tv or web series by showing good character development, emotion, great ton of action and pg-18 violence which is kinda cool. Best thing is, every episode is 40 minutes instead of 20 😬
I almost didn't remember the second season. It was blurred and recalled as very boring. I had to repeat it and only then binge the third. It was such a great time and much better then I remember from the first experience. This series worth my time, so I gave it another chance and got exactly what I've anticipated to get.
It is so well crafted and has such good characters, but it seems that the core of the series cannot tell us anything new in this genre. "The Boys" has something different and new, except hardcore gore. This series is still not "The Boys" and probably will never be, but it absolutely defeats Marvell shows, with any difficulties.
The evolution of the characters - main and side characters was well made, and the show's flow is remarkable, but seems that maybe it has nothing else new to sell anymore. The end of the season gave us new direction, except some other new enemies and the morale issue is going to be played very well and hard, but other then these, everything was kind of "normal" - if that can be a description to this series.
Boy falls in love with (old/new) girl, with one of the weirdest love stories I have ever seen. Family rules, with another family member that matters. Side stories about a buffed alien, Rex changes his ways, Cecil gets a short background story, and we learn once more that heroes and villains can die easily or cannot die in any way, if they are interesting enough.
I don't like the use of multiverse, but this show makes a good use of this concept. It was almost tolerable for the plot to be mixed with massive use in other universes and this season this act got int high gear. The last episode had no need to use other universes, but found his super Villian, that remained to be explored and seemed like a flower that still didn't have the change to be fully blossomed.
It seems that almost all Invincibles' enemies are gathered not to let him enjoy his love life forever, but in that way, we got nonstop action from every and each direction. Personally, I would like to see wrapping of several rivalries, but there is still a lot of magic in this series that doesn't let me the chance to really complain. Yet.

I have no clue of the source material but happy they kept it animated. Not what I was expecting but epsidoe had me hooked!
If you were into "The Boys" you will definitely be into this show, a realistic version of what superior beings would actually be like. Blood and gore check, great voice actors check, fantastic soundtrack check (recent episode included a track from the group Nine Inch Nails), great story check and dialogue that actually feels important and emotionally powerful . Only thing is that the animation could be better, but it's still great and some of the villains get repeated but it's following the comics so I can't really fault it for that. Omi-Man,Cecil, Mark and Allen the alien voice actors/characters carry this show!
Invincible has been everything I expected and more. I never read the comics so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect but from reading up on it and watching the trailer I knew it's the type of show I usually like so I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm glad I did bc so far it's pretty really good. It currently has a perfect 100% in Rotten Tomatoes. The voice over cast has to be one of, if not the best, of any animated series ever. It almost has the star power of an animated movie. Just some of the star power it has is Steven Yeun, Walton Goggins, J. K. Simmons, Zazie Beetz, Seth Rogen, Jon Hamm, Sterling K. Brown, Sandra Oh, Gillian Jacobs, Ben Schwartz, Mahersala Ali, Simu Liu, Chloe Bennet, Djimon Hounsou, Jeffery Dean Morgan, Aaron Paul, Lauren Cohan, Jonathan Groff, etc, etc. There are so many more, too many to name. If that many stars are attached there's a reason and that's because it's a great show. I'm not saying it's the best animated show I've ever seen but it's close. You don't even have to be a fan of animated shows to enjoy this either, it has something for everyone.
