Streaming Standard: Invincible- Season 2

 I was sure I'd talked about this Show more, but I guess not.

Regardless, we go from Marvel to DC to Independent.

Let's see what is up with our often-bloody Hero this year...

In the wake of what happened last Season, Mark/Invincible is recovering from his injuries and his mental wounds.

He tries to rise to the occasion again though and get his life in balance.

By Episode 4, however, he gets another bloody beating and is back in a bad place.
He's resilient and still tries to be the Hero that he thought his Father was going to be.

The balance is shifting though.
This involves going into Space- quite a few times.

Is it lazy writing if they have him complain about his constant trips?
Things don't get much better on Earth, however, as the Viltrumites are still keeping an eye on him.

They want him to take his Father's place as Earth's Conqueror.
They won't ask nicely.

Who will live?
Who will die?

To find out, stream the Show now.
A good Show, even if it can be too intense for many people.  I get it.

The Show doesn't hold back in terms of blood and gore.  In fact, it tends to revel in it.
Basically, if you can make it through one Episode, you'll be fine.
If you can't, I'd find another Show.

Blood aside, the Show has some really good Acting, strong animation, good humor, Character Arcs and a grand scale.

It can be a bit hard to follow all of the many, many Subplots though.  A quick recap at the beginning of each Episode- a la a Recap Page in Comics- is nice, but perhaps a bucket of water being tossed at a house fire.

The Show continues this interesting balance of Superhero Action/Space Opera/Character Drama each Episode.  I'm still on board, even if I won't binge the Episodes when they come out.

We all good?

A good Show that is still very much not for a younger audience due to all of the bloody deaths.  I think that the balance is still quite strong though.
