Today, we're discussing Invincible season three episode eight and giving you our review. Did this season did this episode live up to the hype? We're gonna break down some of the characters and storylines that we've been seeing, explain that ominous ending, a lot of characters showing up, what could it mean for next season, Now we're gonna give you our overall ratings for this season on an all new episode of Unbringed starting
Matt Kopfhamer:Hey, you. Yes, you. Have you seen the episode yet? No? Then stop.
Matt Kopfhamer:Go watch it first. Otherwise, you're gonna get spoiled.
Alfredo Brown:So, guys, I'm gonna start this off real simple. The big question, Jagger, did this finale live up to the hype?
Jagger May:Barely. Barely for me. Like, it's it it it is barely for me. Okay. I know.
Jagger May:Why? I know. I felt like it lacked emotion on March. Really? Yeah.
Jagger May:For me for
Alfredo Brown:me as someone who doesn't even read the comics, this was the most emotion I've felt since the Omni Man episode, since the big the big battle in season one. Like, I was sitting there feeling it for the first time.
Jagger May:And that's what I told you. The eve part, I felt. And, like, maybe it was because I knew it was coming. I didn't feel that. But I guess the tension between conquest and Mark didn't quite do it for me.
Jagger May:And, guys, what I mean it didn't live up to the height, my height was like twelve and this was like a nine. Does that make sense? Like, I think it's almost more of a mean thing a me thing of where I expected this to go.
Matt Kopfhamer:No. That's interesting. Because you just finished reading this in the comics. Right? Just this arc.
Matt Kopfhamer:So me, it's been like about a year since I I read this. So for me, this lived up to all expectations and even exceeded expectations, especially with that little monologue from Conquest.
Jagger May:That was cool. Yep.
Matt Kopfhamer:That was cool as hell that they added that little bit of context to conquest. And I was telling Alfredo this before the pod. It changed him as a character from the mountain in the Game of Thrones where it's just a killing machine, just this giant killing machine to closer to like the Hound, like way far gone. So it's like, there's you could see like in his past, maybe there would have been a path to redemption, but not anymore. Like he is far too gone.
Matt Kopfhamer:He's done too many atrocities.
Jagger May:Like the Hound if he never met the Starks kind of. Yes. He just named McGoffrey. Yeah.
Matt Kopfhamer:Exactly. So I felt like they did a fucking home run job of of meeting my expectations, actually doing something surprising, adding to the original adaptation that I I really enjoyed.
Jagger May:And and like we said, I think it's a Jeffrey Dean Morgan thing for me because, like and guys, if you watch this, I'm, like, a pretty big animation guy. Like, I've heard and seen it all. So, like, my standards are are pretty high. Not that you've seen Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, and, like, these characters are very reminiscent.
Alfredo Brown:Put a dollar in the anime jar, Jagger.
Jagger May:I can't
Alfredo Brown:I can't I fucking can't with you anymore.
Jagger May:I I have to, dude. It's just like you know what's crazy, Alfredo? Most things come from anime, or they reference it.
Alfredo Brown:Like I know. But this is gonna be your douche jar from now on. Is this is your your anime douche jar. Okay?
Jagger May:Okay. Enough. Fine. I'm just saying, it's like, we have a parallel character, and I expected a little bit like like, we talked about this. I think Jeffrey Dean Morgan was too cool as Conquest until that last monologue.
Jagger May:And I know that's weird.
Alfredo Brown:I can get behind that.
Jagger May:Yeah. Like, I meant I wanted Conquest to be like this cold hearted military dude who like, he was just really, really fucking cool. And I know that's weird to say. I wanted scarier. I didn't think he was as scary.
Jagger May:I felt
Alfredo Brown:You know who would've been perfect for
Jagger May:that? Scarier. Who?
Alfredo Brown:JK Simmons.
Matt Kopfhamer:Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Jagger May:See, you get it.
Matt Kopfhamer:Just double duty as Nolan and and and Conquest. Fine. Why not?
Alfredo Brown:This this episode was a lot of fun, I I thought. And it was I mean, it's exactly what you want. You know how Jackie always say, like, stop feeding us our vegetables. Just let us let us get the good part
Matt Kopfhamer:of Steak. Through and through
Alfredo Brown:is Yeah.
Jagger May:It was This was
Alfredo Brown:sizzle, man. This was so much damn sizzle. This is this is back in the day when it was okay to eat at Chili's and they were bringing out the fajitas, you were like, damn. That looks good. Don't don't do that now.
Alfredo Brown:Sorry. Not a sponsor. No free ads. Chili's y'all kinda suck now. But that's what this episode was.
Alfredo Brown:It was so much sizzle. I was loving it. The animation was improved, it felt like, during the fight scenes. Like, everything
Jagger May:from up for that.
Matt Kopfhamer:You could see the budget. Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:Like, you put all the budget into this one last episode, whether it was voice acting, animation, all of it. And it was just it felt like it really lived up to the hype for me as the person. You guys kept telling me this last episode, this last episode, and I was going in there with, this better be a 10. This better be a 10. And it was, in my opinion, honestly.
Alfredo Brown:It this episode specifically was a 10. And we're gonna save all of our ratings for the season as a whole for the end of this episode. But for me, this was a 10. I had a blast watching it. I made the mistake of watching it out in the living room with my wife, and she basically stopped watching Invincible after the first few episodes of season one because she thought it was just disgusting.
Alfredo Brown:She thought it was disgusting. Like, she's just like, I can't I can't do this. She's like, that's the bone crunching, and it's the part where the part where conquest is about to rip apart kid Omni Man. She's like, nah. No.
Alfredo Brown:Go go back to another room. I can't do this. I can't do this. And so I just I was like, I'll turn down the volume, stayed watching it. And then we get to the part where Conquest is using Mark as a battering ram through all those people on the beach and kills a dog.
Alfredo Brown:She's like, get the fuck out of here. Go to a different room. I can't
Matt Kopfhamer:Fair enough. This Fair enough.
Jagger May:This is like Amy, this is almost too much for her. She was like, if it wasn't animated, I could do it. Like, you know, like Yeah. Realistically, you couldn't even do Invincible to or I guess the quality that we expect Not to justice. To justice.
Jagger May:Live action. There's just no way that you could pop Like, the boys
Matt Kopfhamer:Way too yeah. Way The
Jagger May:boys is close, and we get, like, one person or one animal explosion per episode. Like this is like, they're mowing through like an entire fucking city here.
Matt Kopfhamer:Like three. This is like Chicago from episode, from season one, like three or four times over.
Jagger May:That's why it's trying to not spoil for Alfredo. Yeah.
Matt Kopfhamer:Yeah. Yeah. Ugh. So good, though.
Jagger May:I I do love I do love the he makes the blood emoji. Know? Dude, that was
Alfredo Brown:so cool. Please. Let's talk about that. Because when he does the blood heart thing, it was just the perfect amount of psychopath. The absolute perfect.
Alfredo Brown:And I think it add that's something I know that's not in the comics, and I thought this added that perfect weird edge to conquest where even as my wife was hearing the end of it where she was like, is are they gonna kiss? When, like, Ankos is, like, getting in his ear and just, like, talking to him about his, like, inner workings and his emotions. And yeah. It just, like, it kinda towed that line of, like, not just psychopathic and maniacal killer, but they they almost felt like there was just something more. Almost like just too unpredictable of what intimate perfect word cough
Matt Kopfhamer:is for love that addition because it added that intimacy was only there because Conquest thought he was about to kill Mark and, like, permanently put him in the ground. So you could see in that moment, like, a psychopath like Conquest only feels comfortable opening up to somebody he's literally about to murder. That's his version of a relationship. Detail.
Alfredo Brown:Yes. That's his only love. His only love is pain and murder is, like, in fighting.
Jagger May:Yeah. Yep. You guys took the word out of mouth because
Matt Kopfhamer:it's like detail.
Jagger May:It's like he said it. Like, he there's only 50 Wilsvermites left, and he is the one that no one fucks with. And they're like, hey, conquest. You know, we got this plan over there. They seem pretty rough.
Jagger May:Why don't you get the fuck away from us and go deal with that? You know? So, like, the only intimacy he really has is just like, ah, I get a longer hug, which is actually murder from breaking
Matt Kopfhamer:bones. Get my blood. I get to feel my fist drenched in your blood. Like, oh my god. Could could you imagine that needs
Jagger May:a puppy. Existence.
Matt Kopfhamer:Yes. But, like, could imagine for
Alfredo Brown:a second
Matt Kopfhamer:that existence. You're three, four, five thousand years old. None of your, like, kin or or peers wanna have anything to do with you, and your only existence is like, okay. You have to be a rabid dog and let off the leash sometimes. Like, that's fucking crazy for an existence.
Matt Kopfhamer:So no wondering so
Jagger May:Yeah. I was Yeah. About having this conversation because that's why I said I think my hype and expectations were, like, off, if that makes sense. Like like, because I think it was, like, perfectly fine. Like, you guys are completely right, and that's why, like, I
Alfredo Brown:So it's your
Jagger May:fault. It is. It's a me thing.
Matt Kopfhamer:I will admit it. You are the problem.
Jagger May:It it I am the problem. You know? Like, I'll put a second dollar in the anime jar.
Alfredo Brown:All proceeds go to a cough after the show. Alright. We're gonna we're gonna go back into more discussion here about the characters. We're gonna break down some of these story lines and and keep talking about conquest as well. But before we do that, we want your opinion on something, guys.
Alfredo Brown:So if if you are watching this on YouTube, please give us your opinion in the comments below. Or if you're listening on the podcast, leave a review and drop your opinion in there because we have a full schedule of shows coming up on TV. And one of the shows we're thinking about discussing is another Seth Rogen project, which is Apple TV plus's new series, The Studio. As of right now, the reviews are in, and they are phenomenal for this show. At just a full 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, everyone is raving about this show.
Alfredo Brown:And you know what? We'd like to be able to watch this, discuss it, and keep it here on unbenched for you guys to watch with us. So let us know down in the comments if you plan on watching that show. Also, now, currently, we're discussing Daredevil born again, Severance season two, The White Lotus season three, and coming up later down this year. We got a I think we're a month away from some of these.
Alfredo Brown:The Last of Us season two and or season two. We got a lot of good TV coming up, so we're going to be here to talk about each of that and let us know in the comments which show you are looking forward to the most. Now, guys, let's get into the breakdown of these characters here because we did a lot of talk about conquest and how Jeffrey Dean Morgan portrayed that character. But I really wanna break down Eve because to me, like, that was the thing that kind of, I don't wanna say broke the tension of the episode, but it brought me out of it for a second where I was asking questions and having to think a little bit instead of just turning the brain off and watching the fight What I'm saying, oh, Eve's true powers are so much stronger than what I've ever thought. And her explanation of having these mental blocks since the womb that she can basically only override when she has a traumatic event.
Alfredo Brown:This is really cool and opens up a whole new world for me as someone who's not a comic reader. I I'd I'd love to hear from you guys about this. So what what is different from the comics? And I guess without spoilers, but what did you think of this as comic readers?
Jagger May:The same. It's the same. And like, I think we got
Matt Kopfhamer:Same explanation. We learned
Jagger May:about the yeah. We learned this in the Invincible special with Adam Eve that she has these mental blocks in there. Like, they they they shelled that up and sold out long. You didn't watch that?
Matt Kopfhamer:No. It's good. It's only like Buddy. I'll go back and watch it.
Jagger May:Okay. I'll go back and watch it. You don't even actually hate Eve's parents enough. It's what I'm Oh, me? Okay.
Matt Kopfhamer:Fair. Fair.
Jagger May:I was like, you gotta watch it, dude. It's like You got
Matt Kopfhamer:more room to hate. Yeah. For
Jagger May:sure. Yeah. Because that's where it really explains it. Like, they totally nerf her and shit like that. And a lot of those kids because like you said, she's basically Green Lantern.
Jagger May:Yeah.
Matt Kopfhamer:With Wanda and Green Lantern. She fights like a Green Lantern, and then she's Wanda, basically.
Alfredo Brown:Yeah. When she had that moment where she changed the density of the air, I was like, that's fucking cool. Do that all the time. And then she just went right back to being Pink Lantern. And I was like, oh, thank you.
Alfredo Brown:Like, it's not
Matt Kopfhamer:Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:It doesn't hit the same way.
Matt Kopfhamer:Lanterns. It's like But that's the problem. But that's unfortunately the problem with writing for her character is she is so, from a power standpoint, so OP that she could literally change the air inside someone's lungs to Oh, god.
Alfredo Brown:Did you guys just come at the same time when you said OP together?
Matt Kopfhamer:A little bit. Touch tips.
Jagger May:A little bit through space.
Matt Kopfhamer:But literally, she could change the air inside someone's lungs to, like, lead and kill them in an instant. So they have to have these writing nerfs. Otherwise, every situation could be like, just send Eve to change reality.
Jagger May:Yeah. Mhmm. Yep. And it's a I remember this shitty comment comic that my dad gave me, because my dad wouldn't let me have those good ones as a kid. And it was, like, basically off brand Justice League, and there was this guy named Elemental Man, and he's like, I can create new elements and make new stuff.
Jagger May:And I remember reading this, I'm like, what a shitty character. He's like, I'm basically God.
Matt Kopfhamer:You know, I'm doctor Manhattan. So What a shitty character. Yeah.
Jagger May:And I was, like, seven years old, guys.
Alfredo Brown:I was just gonna say, I'm imagining seven year old Jack here saying this out loud. What a shitty character
Matt Kopfhamer:flips the page.
Alfredo Brown:I'm intrigued,
Matt Kopfhamer:though. Periodic table man.
Jagger May:Get fucked. Exactly. So I'm happy there's some kind of nerfing on Eve, But, also, there's, like, a ceiling for her to be able to, like, not constantly be a damsel in
Matt Kopfhamer:mocking us.
Alfredo Brown:I like this, though, because it's like we don't we don't need to have Invincible be the character, the end all, be all, every single time.
Jagger May:And Yes.
Alfredo Brown:I'm actually glad that this happened because I felt like we were getting close to that, where it's when we get all the Invincible variants, when we get conquest, we keep getting these characters. Well, it's like, well, Goku, you're the only one that can go fight this battle. We're all gonna just watch you do it. Put our hands together. Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:Like, now we have some more characters that can actually, you know, join in. And I think it's gonna be necessary, especially when we get to the ending and we start explaining that. There are so many characters, so many villains setting themselves up, so many story lines that could go on. He's gonna need more help than just Oliver and Eve. This is gonna be a lot bigger than just Invincible.
Jagger May:Mhmm. I agree a %. Like, you got soldiers now.
Matt Kopfhamer:Right. Exactly. It's nice that they've really expanded the roster these last few episodes. Even with all the deaths of some of these characters like Rex, they still added others like Tech Jacket who was at the funeral and we're starting to see, you know, Battle Beast potentially could be an ally now that they picked up up in space.
Alfredo Brown:It is nice to that they're not He really is the Charlie Day of the group.
Matt Kopfhamer:You just Dude, him and Connelly, you just gotta point him.
Jagger May:Best buds, dude.
Alfredo Brown:They just
Matt Kopfhamer:see the fuck. They like
Jagger May:like, you guys go out in space, figure it out.
Matt Kopfhamer:Duke it out.
Jagger May:Yeah. And then whoever wins, we're gonna kill.
Alfredo Brown:They're the Fulton Reed and Dean Portman of the Invincible Universe. They're just the fucking animated Bash Brothers having a great time killing people. Pretty much. Every single planet.
Jagger May:And it feels like Conquest can, like, be rehabilitated a little bit. Because it's like, buddy, you just need therapy and, like Just
Matt Kopfhamer:give him a hug.
Jagger May:Yeah. Just give him
Alfredo Brown:a hug.
Jagger May:It's like, you realize you're enough. Do this shit. Actually, most of the universe hates you that you do this. You
Matt Kopfhamer:know? It's like Honestly, this he just needs he he just needs to learn the same lesson as Ken from the Barbie movie. Like, he is enough. He is loved. So there you go.
Matt Kopfhamer:That'll fix all
Jagger May:his problems.
Matt Kopfhamer:He's good enough.
Alfredo Brown:Is that is this something that you actually think with conquest? And maybe this is a a comic thing, and I don't know. Is this something where he actually could be redeemed? Because all I'm sitting here saying is Cecil breaks Mark's trust again, not only turning all the invincible variants into animen, but he doesn't follow Mark's wishes of burning the body of conquest. He keeps him alive, and it's basically, well, when he wakes up, we're gonna be asking him questions.
Alfredo Brown:Is there actually some
Matt Kopfhamer:sort of
Alfredo Brown:a redemption arc that could be possible? Yes.
Matt Kopfhamer:Probably not. But comic comic point, that body that Mark has shown is a fake body. They've already, at that point, put conquest in the bunker. So I don't know if that's something to point out in the show. But
Alfredo Brown:Well, I I had also read that in the comics, Mark doesn't even tell him to burn the body. Mark just accepts that that's the dead body, and that's it. In this one, it seems like they really want to play on the fact that Cecil's breaking Mark's trust again. Right. And Yep.
Alfredo Brown:You know, give it that extra level.
Jagger May:Yeah. And I think of
Matt Kopfhamer:Cecil's worst ideas ever. Like,
Jagger May:awesome. Yeah. It is a terrible idea, and I'm maxed out right here. Like, I have officially this is where I stopped reading because I wanted to read some other books. And I'm sorry, guys.
Jagger May:But, like, I Don't
Alfredo Brown:apologize to me. I've never read anything.
Jagger May:Yeah. Exactly. Really think that we question that all
Alfredo Brown:the At at a seventh grade level.
Matt Kopfhamer:He's a You've adapted to it. You've adapted to it.
Jagger May:I genuinely think that at this point here, I question if Cecil could come back from this, because it just seems like such a colossal fuck up. And what's really annoying, I question how Alan and their their intergalactic space council, whatever it's called, is Coalition of Planets. Coalition of Planets. Thank you. It's arguably a worse
Alfredo Brown:The Trade Federation. Yeah.
Jagger May:Yeah.
Matt Kopfhamer:It is a terrible name.
Jagger May:Yeah. The Trade Federation. Would get to Earth immediately and be like, hey, there's 50 left. Let's not do anything nuts. Like, save one of them and then repurpose a bunch of evil marks.
Jagger May:This like, I feel like that's what I would talk about immediately. It's just like, hey, you know, like, this is news we need to get out everywhere. Like, that's like, is there a You gotta remember. Is there a coalition planets? No.
Jagger May:Tweet that out.
Matt Kopfhamer:Alan was going to the wrong planet for, like, twenty years, bro. He was going to Earth when he was supposed to go to Uroth or whatever the hell it was called. So
Jagger May:Yeah. Uroth or
Matt Kopfhamer:Uroth. Yeah. So I don't know if I would really put a lot of credence in the coalition of planets, like, communication skills.
Jagger May:A himbo. Yeah. He's a himbo.
Matt Kopfhamer:Can I
Alfredo Brown:ask where the fuck they are? That we got we got something alluding to almost every single character in the show of as to whatever their whereabouts are, their motives are. They are in deep But we actually got a full episode on Alan the alien and Omni Man. We got more than one episode arc through these guys. And I was actually a little disappointed to not even just get a quick clip of what they might be doing, why they're not there, how far away are they, what are they dealing with.
Alfredo Brown:They kinda did the Captain Marvel here where it's like, well, where have you been? And it's, oh, well, there's other places that needed me just as much, and they don't have the Avengers. And I know it's not the same thing with these characters, but it's like, where the fuck are they?
Matt Kopfhamer:You gotta remember where we last saw them, which was escaping the prison ship. They're in space with no vehicle. So they're flying just with their own power to
Jagger May:I actually yeah.
Alfredo Brown:Give me give me some give me some Goku running down the road then for a little bit. You know, just let me know if they're on Right.
Jagger May:Yeah. Actually remember now. I have read further in here. Because, like, I'm like, dude, it's a doctor Manhattan shit. It's like, I both live in the present and the future simultaneously.
Jagger May:You know? Let's just say they're Attacking
Matt Kopfhamer:on interference.
Jagger May:Exactly. They are doing important shit. So that's all I could say without spoiling. And they are doing you remember them books that that Nolan wrote? That's how I'll say it.
Matt Kopfhamer:The science fiction books? Yeah.
Jagger May:Yeah. The fiction. Let's see.
Alfredo Brown:Alright. Well, that that kinda that brings us to the ending of this episode where, I mean, we loved the episode. I think we got some awesome character arcs from some of these character Eve. I still think it's weird that Rudy's changing his name to Rex, but Thank
Jagger May:you. It's fucking weird, dude. Like He's
Matt Kopfhamer:still had an identity.
Alfredo Brown:It doesn't feel like he's honoring him. It feels like he's replacing him entirely, which is feels to be the most disrespectful thing you could do.
Jagger May:Gross. Put a put a pin in that thought because I do know some other spoils and shit going on. But it's just so psychotic. What's crazy is how other people maybe robots just so weird that people they accept it. Because, like like, Monster Girl is just like, well, hi Rex.
Jagger May:Were into Rex. You guys were friends with him, and you're like, okay, you stole his body, you guys moved past that. I felt like there was a lesson there, and now you've taken his name, you just forgot that lesson. Like, just said, fuck that. I'm not I'm not gonna do that.
Jagger May:And it's pretty wild.
Matt Kopfhamer:So I don't It was weird in the comics, and it's weird that they didn't change it in the show. I mean, I I guess that's kind of the point.
Alfredo Brown:Unless they give it a a reason as to why they kept it. Because they seem to have done a pretty good job of validating every weird thing in the show so far.
Matt Kopfhamer:Right. But it's one of those things where like, it comes into play later in a way.
Jagger May:But But not enough.
Matt Kopfhamer:Plot line. Yeah.
Jagger May:It's a weird plot line. Yeah. It it's one of those comic things where there's just, like, not a lot of oversight sometimes, and no one said, like, hey, Kirkman. I don't think we need this detail. That's not honor.
Jagger May:That's just Hate this. Like yeah. Like, if Alfredo died, I'm gonna be like, well, my name's Alfredo now.
Matt Kopfhamer:You know? It's because I loved him so much that I wanna be him.
Jagger May:Like, that's legitimately what he did. Like, we're a team, Alfredo died. And I'm like, well, now I we are Alfredo. No. I'm the red racer.
Jagger May:We are
Matt Kopfhamer:Groot. Oh,
Alfredo Brown:no. That's the TikTok clip right there, by the way. Someone write it down.
Matt Kopfhamer:We are Groot.
Alfredo Brown:Alright. So with this ending, obviously, we get the the weirdness there with Rudy slash Rex. But we start to see all of the villains that we might see in the next season. So, Livingston and the Sequids, which is, probably gonna be another, yeah, just another one of those constant problems, b story, whatever. The surgeons with Angstrom Levy or Levy.
Alfredo Brown:I've heard it both ways. To me, that also feels like a b story, but I don't quite know. It seems like the real major story is gonna be whatever happens with battle beast eventually entering the fold because he's such a big problem and wild card. But for the most part, it's this last thing that we see during the credits or at or in the middle of the whatever. The credits scene, which is the demon detective Damian Darkblood and whatever he's got going there, which from what I understand d's.
Alfredo Brown:Is a a a change from what goes on in the comics. This could be a brand new original story, and that seems exciting.
Jagger May:I I pray for this, guys. I've said this on this pod. I want more Damien Darkblood, and they're giving it to me. They're giving it. Because, like, we're we're getting that battle beast comic, and, like, that's pretty cool.
Jagger May:But I'm like, Kirk, what's going on with the old Darkblood over there? You know? So, like, if he comes back as a wild card, that's pretty cool to me. So I I like, that's the spin off show I want, but I'm also a nerd. So
Matt Kopfhamer:Yeah. Seeing no. Seeing an expansion for Dark Blood, and then I hope they do an expansion on the Surgeon storyline because it's minor in the comics, but I think there's a lot of potential there for a cool story in the show. So, hopefully, we we see more of both.
Jagger May:Okay. One more one more plot that I wanna that I kinda wanted to bring up here is a sec with thing. We didn't even talk about that to begin with. How fucking stupid is The United States Government? You know how much alien movies I have watched?
Jagger May:Why did you not scan this homie's gut beforehand? They're just like, oh, wow. This seems all normal. Alright. Go to your apartment.
Jagger May:Like, it just
Matt Kopfhamer:He was quarantined for six hours. He's fine.
Jagger May:Yeah, dude. It's I mean, this
Alfredo Brown:is art imitating life. Like, how many organizations do we have making robots right now and AI and shit? It's just like,
Jagger May:watch watch any movie. Out there. We got a bunch of Cecils out there that are just like And
Matt Kopfhamer:they didn't see Terminator.
Jagger May:By killing it. The CEO of OpenAI was just like, yeah. AI is probably gonna kill us one day, but it's gonna put out put out some exciting companies in the meantime. That's a direct fucking quote. I'm like, can we put Enjoy the ride while you can.
Alfredo Brown:That's a that's a man that is getting into a toxic ass relationship, and he knows it's gonna be a bad crash out at the end. But he's like, it's gonna be a fun ride on the way down. I'm in. So you're right.
Matt Kopfhamer:You're right. Like, Cecil's the most
Jagger May:comic accurate character, like, from real life. It just the only thing that's wrong with Cecil is that there's not 40 of
Matt Kopfhamer:cares too much.
Alfredo Brown:Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Kopfhamer:Yeah. There'd be, like, 40 different departments with Cecils. Yeah. Exactly.
Alfredo Brown:My question is this, is with this potentially, I mean, original story that we're gonna have with Damien Darkblood, he mentions a character with what what was it called? A black heart or darkness in him?
Matt Kopfhamer:Or Yeah. Like a heart black enough for you to control or something like that, which is interesting because at first blush, you're thinking, okay. Maybe Mark, now that he's gotten rid of his no killing rule. But then you start to remember there's other characters that may fit the bill, like Conquest, now that he's in the underground underground bunker. Maybe it's the the Invincible Cecil.
Matt Kopfhamer:Maybe it's the Invincible stuck in the shadow verse. Maybe it's kid Omni Man. Who knows? So it's very interesting to see where they're gonna go with this.
Alfredo Brown:Speculation? Is it gonna be
Matt Kopfhamer:a true, like, demon possession storyline, which could be fucking cool as hell?
Alfredo Brown:Who would you pick? Who would you pick as the one most likely to get, you know, controlled or possessed?
Matt Kopfhamer:I if he's still alive, the the Shadowverse mark, because he was fucking up the GDA with Glee. So clearly, he has an evil heart, and he is willing to do some bad shit for the fun of it. So I could absolutely see him fitting that bill perfectly.
Jagger May:Yeah. I think there's only, like, maybe two of those marks that are remotely redeemable. The rest of them had, like, I I was in a ventral Viltrumite prison. Blah blah blah. I wanna kill my mom again.
Jagger May:Like, there's just there's a lot there that could be a fucking problem. So Mhmm. Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:I'm wondering how they can mix this into the story without it affecting the comic. And that's the thing is that if we do have a set comic storyline with a character like conquest, with characters like Kid Omni Man, I have to feel like it can't be them, or you're going to ruin the story. Or we're getting
Jagger May:spin off. It feels like spin offs maybe, which I don't I don't mind that much. If it's just like a spin off that I don't I don't want them to build a an invincible CU, like an I c oh, that's funny. ICU. ICU.
Alfredo Brown:That's where
Matt Kopfhamer:he ends up every every week anyway.
Jagger May:So Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:I mean, I guess I'm willing to trust Seth Rogen a little bit. I know that it's he's not obviously the creator of of invincible, but he's had such a big hand in this. And they were able to do a very similar thing with the boys, and we're starting to see that maybe TV is kind of Seth Rogen's jam, especially now with the reviews coming in for the studio, man. Like, it's he he just let him cook. I'm down.
Alfredo Brown:I'm down for more spin offs and characters. Yep. Maybe I'll actually watch it too, because I didn't I didn't watch the anime thing. I'm sorry. I'll let you get that.
Matt Kopfhamer:It's worth a watch.
Alfredo Brown:You should. Yeah. Alright, boys. So Invincible season three, it's time for our ratings. On a scale of one to 10, what do you rate this season?
Alfredo Brown:And this goes down into the official unbinged records. Koff, let's start with you.
Matt Kopfhamer:I'm giving it a 10. This is I had such a great time week in and week out. They put banger after banger after banger out, so I can't give it anything but a 10.
Alfredo Brown:I got I gotta write these down for you. Alright. So you've given it an official 10.
Matt Kopfhamer:10 out of 10.
Alfredo Brown:Alright. Try these off. Good for you.
Jagger May:That's this is one of your more valid tens.
Alfredo Brown:No. Wait. Let me go back. What was your other 10? I got the all along.
Alfredo Brown:You gave it a perfect 10.
Jagger May:Yeah. See, talk about these two shows at the same time. Now you're looking back at that 10. You're Yeah.
Alfredo Brown:Feeling kinda crunchy on
Matt Kopfhamer:10 for what it was. No. It was a 10 for what it was.
Alfredo Brown:Alright. Well, we'll put in enough out of you. Now we're going to Jagger.
Jagger May:I think it's a solid nine for me, 9 and a half.
Alfredo Brown:9 and a half. Alright. Put it on there. I'm gonna go with the nine. I think this was a great show.
Alfredo Brown:This is a great show, and it's it I almost feel dirty giving it a nine because I know it did so you know what? Screw it. Nine and a half. Nine and a half. Fantastic season of of TV.
Alfredo Brown:Honestly, I think that it it passed season one in so many ways because season one was so groundbreaking for television, and that finale of season one was so groundbreaking, and it still gets looked at as one of the most emotional episodes of TV. If if, of course, you watched it and you like animation like that, I think this lived up to the hype. I really do. The season was great. It had me there for a minute, but I think they were able to weave in so many stories.
Alfredo Brown:That was one of my complaints earlier was that the pacing was so fast with a lot of these stories, and it felt like they spent a long time on Angstrom Levy in the shadows to then have a one episode arc. And then same thing with PowerPlex, a one episode arc, then they bring them back for another one. And it they were really able to land the plane with these quick character arcs and these quick contained stories. They took a comic that takes fast pacing, put it into a TV show, and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the hell out of it.
Alfredo Brown:This was this was a great show. So nine and a half for me. Mhmm. Well, boys, that, that puts Invincible really high on our ratings list here. We're gonna be back.
Matt Kopfhamer:Should be.
Alfredo Brown:That's right. Damn straight. We're gonna be back again later this week, talking about severance season two. We got the White Lotus season three. We're gonna be doing a whole bunch more.
