    i total forgot about this show. the weird break kinda made me lose appetite. similar to what game of hunger did for s2.

    these breaks are really stupid. i’d rather do homework than watch an unfinished season

    i feel like the invincible war should have been longer. (i havent read the comics) should have been a couple of episodes.

    Probably means what's coming next is going to be crazy

    Staying at a buddy’s for a couple of days in Vegas and we watched the final episode of S3. Art/quality has improved but it still has that pacing issue where there’s a lot of dead space, almost like a soap opera.

    Still, it’s enough to get me to pick up s2-3 and ‘watch’ while I’m working.

    I tried binge reading the comics awhile back and there were more soap opera bits and dead space that made me drop it before the midway point of S3.

    Believe it or not, they worked a lot on pacing and continuity with the source. Haven't had gripes or nitpicks this season but for me, it's progress from past seasons where they try more to make the dead space more character development focused.

    It may be Kirkman’s writing. Iirc pacing was an issue in TWD too. But it’s still a great comic, except issue 100.

    it was a good last couple episodes. I still think invincible war should have been more than 1 episode. I didnt feel the weight of the whole earth being taken over by all those invincibles

    I liked season 3 more than season 2. I really never got into comic books or superheroes but Invincible feels like what I imagine a great comic book series feels like with interesting and creatives stories/characters/villains/concepts that actual have stakes.

    Definitely agree about the pacing, felt like the Invincible War and Conquest arc deserved 4 episodes total.

    The Brutality of Invincible and The Boys is the feature for me
    The idea that fights are not just punches and flying
    the brutal bone breaks and gut punches

    This season was way more watchable than the first two. It felt more focused on Mark and Earth rather than ping ponging between different threads like Omniman or the Guardians. Also there were less random plot teasers. And each episode felt like it concluded well within the hour.

    Did not like the deus ex machina in the last episode, though. Felt like it cheapened how overwhelming Conquest was.
