    Was wondering where the adult came into it and then realized is was bloody AF.

    Nothing really groundbreaking but will probably watch.

    I read the comic through issue 60 or so. There is a lot of meat to it. Not your typical superhero tale. Belongs in the same studio as The Boys

    I think they did a disservice by using that animation style it's like Ben 10 or something like that.

    the plot looks promising but don't like the visuals.

    Art is spot on with the comics.

    I still don't like the art but that's a personal choice and not a great fan of Kirkman I think TWD is overrated, with that said I will give it a try and hope it's good.

    Watched the first episode, and I'm halfway though the second. Great show so far.

    Definitely watch until the end of the first episode, and not just when the 'Invincible' title card comes up with like 7 minutes left to go.

    I love the way they shoehorn in the title card. Very funny.

    Wow... Really surprised how great the first three episodes are. That twist at the end of episode one.... Damn.

    I was really close to giving up after the very first superhero battle scene, which couldn't have felt more familiar, but thankfully there was much more to uncover.

    I know Kirkman will milk the series for everything it's worth and that I'll tire of it eventually, but I've at least enjoyed the first two episodes.

    BTW, is it just me or was War Woman modeled after
    Sarah Palin?

    Nothing really spoiler-ish just a bad ass clip:

    Question for comic book readers:

    Does Omni-Man have weaknesses? I'm guessing he doesn't have as many powers as Superman, but does he have an obvious weakness like Superman and kryptonite?

    Wife and I watched the first 3 episode, enjoyed it. That first episode is designed to really give you that jolt at the end....I'll stick with it through the season.


    I don't know anything about the comic so I'm curious to see where it all goes.....

    It's pretty good. Its sad that something like this was only green lit because of the gore. American animation needs stuff like this for kids too. not just the funny stuff that is all over TV.

    This is really good . Seems like no one is talking about it though. I think Amazon thinks the people that like The Boys would like this, but this feels like a show for the Avatar last air bender crowd if it wasn't so bloody.

    I'm enjoying it so far. From what I've read it's a pretty straight forward adaptation of the comic, and I would like to see more of that.

    I didn't recognize Walton Goggins until I looked up the credits.

    Yeah I guess. But this is not really smart adult animation like Rick and Morty and not kid friendly with adult themes like Avatar. this is somewhere in the middle. I guess that's okay if you aren't trying to make amazing ground breaking content. It just feels bloody for no reason.

    Episode 4 wasn't great and am beginning to wonder if I want to devote years to watching this. They have too many threats of the week and too many subplots, IMO. They need to get into Omni-Man's motives and develop the secondary characters.

    TL;DR: I bore quickly.
