Reminds people of their asshole dad?

It's a slightly less horrible "The Boys"
>"Satirizes" the superhero genre
>Written by petulant morons who clearly steal all their ideas from Twitter
>Thinks it's far more clever than it actually is
>Winds up seeming even more childish than the literal children's media it thinks it's taking the piss out of.
>Compensates for this by being extremely brutal and violent.

Americans can't into media anymore.

Invincible starts out great, I read the comics and the first arc doesn't really satirize the genre at all, all that cringe comes down later.
I love the first "arc" so much because you actually get a really compelling storyline of Mark having to deal with having an asshole dad and its consequences to the world.
Unfortunately they rush instantly to a confrontation (which hits really hard and its quite the surprise to me because its fairly rushed) and shit falls apart and it becomes the usual comicslop but with gore (the invincible wars thing being peak cringe).
The entire thing should had always revolved around the relationship with Mark, Omniman and tackling a bit of the Empire. I couldn't give a less of a fuck about the side-characters.

Stand ready for my arrival worm

It's easier to think of it less like a story show and more like a bullet point list of superhero tropes that get subverted.

thats what it is mindless gore but I will take everything back if amazon animates Mark getting ridden into the dirt by Anissa, even if hes one of the few good people in the animated version.

i haven't finished it and won't. i threw up when the dad started beating the son's brains out. someone tell me how it ends

while beating his son, omni-man has flashbacks to him watching his son play baseball and feeling proud of him, the cut's back to reality and starts feeling remorse which he asks his son why does he care for a race that only lives decades when they live for millennias, mark makes a comment on how he still loves him or something and omniman suddenly gets a huge wave of guilt and regret and flees. omniman goes through a crisis, being raised for thousands of years in a culture that hates the weak and only values strength but when sent to earth falls in love with a human and gains feelings of empathy which conflicts with how he's been raised his whole life. later in shows in a prequel episode where his son is a kid and hasnt gained his powers yet and when he thinks of it he gets angry that his son may never be strong then disgust in him even thinking about his son not matering or something. later the viltumites come to earth under orders to breed with humans to restore their population after seeing how strong human viltrumite hybrids are andthen all the viltrumites fall inlove with humans and turn against the empire o algo.

heres the omniman scene

after that he flees to thraxa and defends the planet for until the viltrumites find him to punish him for abandoning his original mission to which he feels guilt for failing to protect the planet from the attack

omniman finally coming to terms with and accepting his emotions that he gained from living on earth

i kinda got the feeling it was mindless gore for the sake of someone's fetish.
