Prime Video's animated superhero series Invincible is back in a second season that is just as action-packed and deeply human.
We might be drowning in a wave of superhero media-related fatigue, but even in the midst of Hollywood trying to fold in on itself, there is a blood and guts-covered hand breaking the surface of the murky waters we’re constantly trying to escape.Season 2 hits the ground running, picking up a few months after the aftermath of Omni-Man’s brutal beating of his own son and the partial destruction of Chicago. To say that no one is doing well would be an understatement.
The most prominent hallmarks of the series are the excessively violent and mind-bending action scenes, and they are just as gut-churning and bloody in the first half of Season 2 as they have always been.. Seeing viscera in live-action leaves a feeling of disgust more than anything else, but there is something about animation—probably the fact that it’s two-dimensional and in no way trying to look real—that makes it easier to watch.
Something very nice that comes with that development is that Amber is treated much more kindly. While some might say that her character faced an unprecedented amount of backlash from fans of the show when the last season aired, I think it is safe to say that the hatred was, in fact, precedented. There was plenty of chatter about how Amber was controlling,without turning a critical lens back around at Mark’s wishy-washy behavior and chronic flakiness.
One of the nicest surprises of the season is that the second large emotional arc goes to Debbie. Mark might be going through it, but he has easily accessible coping mechanisms—even if they aren’t healthy. Debbie is trapped in a phase of processing her entire life being a lieshe has no one else to turn to.
