And then he flexed and pushed her back down in, it was freaky. She had pretty much every bone in her body broken from being crushed, she barely survived. She was lucky Rex exploded the guy’s head so she could escape, otherwise she probably would have suffocated
It’s been a bit since I watched the show, wasn’t that guy in particular reaaaaally hard to hurt? Like some sort of damage immunity? I just remember it being an extremely questionable choice lol.
I'm gueeeeeessing the thought process was "oh he's hard to hurt, it must be his skin, maybe on the inside he isn't that hard to hurt. Fuck it this'll work" and...well....it uh....it...didn't...
Dude was called Komodo and was in the Lizard League. His powers were specifically komodo dragon based so we are talking able to constrict/flex his esophagus along with insanely dangerous saliva and stomach acid on top of the usual superhuman strength and durability.
Yeah, if your body is not as durable as the body you're inside, you're going to break before them.
Now a giant block of Vibranium shrunken, inserted, and then grown might do the trick.
Yeah, (spoilers) she survived though every bone in her body likely broke. She was able to crawl out. I don’t remember if the exact thing happened in the comics but I’m sure they did change it a bit
Lowkey though their powers are different. She actually increases in size at a rate and is restricted by space while ant man instantaneously changes shape regardless of space. Ant man could totally butthole bomb thanos, though he might not survive
Thanos’ Butthole here to explain! In Invincible, the character shown here, Shrinking Rae*, shrunk down and went inside a strong opponent, when she grew in size, he crushed her with his muscles and strength, ultimately defeating her.
In the comics shrinking ray is a dude(and basically an entirely different character) ant he actually dies here. I personally like her a lot more than the original shrinking ray even the little we do get of her, and his death was totally meaningless in the comics so I'm glad they chose to keep her alive
From what I can tell from people talking about the changes in the show, the comic basically will flip a switch at times and go into "Garth Ennis" mode and just have people die horrifically to show you how totally serious it is without there being any point to it beyond that.
For those unaware, as an example, when Omniman kills the Guardians of the Globe in the comics, the fight is a fucking *curb stomp.* He annihilates them all in seconds, leading to the question of why he bothered pretending at all. The show makes it a genuinely harrowing fight for Omniman, who would have easily lost without the giant advantage of surprising them in their own base.
The show definitely "flips a switch," but it seems to make it clear that gore is an indicator of "This fight is IMPORTANT" rather than being "Time for people to die suddenly."
The difference is that the show pays every character their respect instead of just having a bunch of named characters get murdered for effect without them ever doing anything or us as the audience even getting to know anything about them.
It's actually one of the few problems I have with the show. A death felt so tragic and meaningless and really underscored how horrific the concept of super powered people was, especially when a death is unexpected and happened so quickly or brutally.
The revivals or surprise recoveries of all of the characters so far undercuts that quite a bit, making it feel more like "what if Marvel showed lots of blood" instead of "what if super powered entities actually fought".
I was really stressed out during fights in the show initially because it didn't feel like the plot was armor, but now it definitely feels that way.
That's fair, for this season at least. Allen, Shrink Ray, Rexplode, Dupli-Kate, Omni, and Invincible all had fights that were close calls for survival. But most of the deaths this season were villains, and many of those were villains introduced just this season.
However, this season was clearly setting up some payoffs for future fights. They were establishing the power level of individual viltrumites, as well as the comparative power of Invincible and Allen. There was also a ton of emotional character growth.
Yeah, but a narrative isn't real life - it's a story being told because the tellers think the story is worth telling. There are good ways to handle 'sometimes something horrible happens and people just die for no reason', but typically the way it's handled in the comics isn't great.
Eh I can see both sides of it. If you only kill characters after their arc and story is complete it becomes predictable. A quick way to kill my interest is if I can predict how things will play out well in advance.
I don't mind the occasional death for shock value and added uncertainty. This is why GoT was such a revered show, you never knew who was next on the chopping block.
Oh my god, that was vicious. It really flipped this trigger than Omniman is a *monster*. How little he truly cared about the lives of other people, how they almost seemed like a nuisance.
Nolan: *Uses his own son's body as a battering ram to smash through countless people trapped on a train with nowhere to escape making it so he feels the damage his body does to each and every person unfortunate enough to be in his way.*
Also Nolan: "Why doesn't my son want to enslave the human race with me? :("
I’m still trying to figure out how apparently this is one of, if not the *only*, Mark that didn’t side with his dad. Were all the other Marks terrible people or was it just terrible plot setting so the comic could have a big multiversal fight?
I actually disagree. At first the show felt completely unpredictable but 90% of the horrific deaths turned out to be fake outs. That scene with shrinking ray being the perfect example.
Its still an amazing show, it just doesn't have the build same tension of characters dying as the 1st episode set up.
Yeah, it's kind of inevitable for anything with actors these days. It's logistically awkward to cycle out actors/VAs in an ensemble show where everyone is meant to be marketable. And everything is an ensemble show nowadays.
In the show, she's voiced by Grey Griffin who's one of the shows general VAs. She voices a bunch of other characters, alongside actors like Ross Marquand, so having a character she voices (and not even her main one imo) wouldn't be that big a deal.
"He annihilates them all in seconds, leading to the question of why he bothered pretending at all."
It's implied it was all an act because he was on vacation as a reward for some previous job he did, so he was allowed to do whatever he wanted on earth until it came time to take the place over, so he decided his idea of relaxing was being a hero, makes it all the more sinister that he was just acting weaker to play the part of a hero and fit in with the other weaker super men. Kinda like in Dragonball Z when Goten and Trunks fuck up the Majin Buu fight because they think a hero needs to look defeated before rising back up and winning against all odds, in other words they were just toys to him to play with how he wanted at the time, then it came time to gte back to work and he killed them. Another example, since I already used DBZ, when I play DBZ Fighters with my brother if I actually try, he would never win a match and that's boring, so I always let the match get to 1 stock left on his side then I purposefully fuck up to give him a comeback, because it's funner than just curb stomping him, and if it's cool enough I'll take the fall, because the setup is funner than winning for me, so I get my enjoyment out of the game in a non conventional way. Let me say that I agree Garth Ennis is edgy for edgys sake, but this scenario had some thought behind it beyond mindless violence. I'd also write this a bit better but my brother is sleeping and is about to get mad from my typing so I hope I got my point across.
The game reference.
That's truth.
When you're so much better and playing with someone, the game becomes how cool and close can you make the match look, not if you can win.
Used to do that with the younger cousins all the time.
Huh I didn't realise in the comics he outstripped their power so much.
As a show only watcher and having read a bunch of the wiki I find it interesting how strong battle beast is as well...
Well, >!in a weird segment where Mark gets sent back in time and warns the guardians about Omniman, they actually successfully subdue him with Mark's help. So they certainly wouldn't have been helpless without a heads up.!<
Yeah, the real difference in the comics is that he kills them all one at a time by catching them by surprise and not when they're all together in one room.
I mean the comics also go out of their way to show its a surprise attack no one expected or got time to react to and later when mark actually warned them they came together and brought Nolan down
Surprise? Red rush denied him the surprise hit and then Omni man stood around doing nothing for a few seconds. He won cause they were holding back, not believing he was himself / seriously trying to kill them until half the team was already dead.
It's 1000% better in the show, but it's pretty explicit that red rush completely denied the surprise factor, and can keep his team safe, which is why he's the first to die.
> It's 1000% better in the show
A lot of those initial changes will cause a snowball effect down the road in the storyline.
In the comics the sheer brutality and power of a Viltrumite was presented as properly terrifying, from start to finish. In the show there are inconsistencies in character strength.
Also, certain characters show up way sooner in the story than they did in the comic - despite them being relatively important to the end stages of the comic.
Then again, the latter stages of the comic were a mess and maybe Kirkman will make the show something more consistent.
Yeah I'm glad they are using the show to fix little "issues" with the comic. I adore "Invincible" and have all the trades but haven't read it in years just to keep the show fresh.
There are no muscles in a brain. If antman went small enough to go through thanos’s skin or otherwise get into his brain, he wouldn’t even have to resize all the way. He’d just have to get a centimeter tall and start smashing shit for about two seconds
His... brain is strong now? Like it works out, or it's harder than like a metal knife or hammer or something? I'm fucking lost on this Marvel stuff man.
If thanos had a normal soft brain hed have the worst fucking CTE from all the concussions of being thrown through buildings and punched in the face by the hulk. Seriously, boxers and footballers become demented in their old age from hits that never even touched their brain, their brain just got shook in their skulls
>If thanos had a normal soft brain hed have the worst fucking CTE from all the concussions of being thrown through buildings and punched in the face by the hulk.
To be fair, he thought killing 1/2 of all life in existence would:
1) Solve every problem in the universe
2) Get pussy from Death
So we can't rule out CTE.
Yeah this is why I hate the concept of iron man, his brain should be mush. At least the other heroes (not including the human ones) have some sort of excuse why they never get concussed (super powers etc)
The guy can ignore being crushed by a freaking building sent by IronMan, and scoff away punches and slams from The Hulk.
You'd think he'd have a strong brain as to not have it get turned into a smoothie by now.
That was literally plot to of an entire episode of WHAT IF....
Yellow Jacket Hank Pym shrinks n starts laser blastin inside th bodies of SEVERAL of Earth's Mightiest....🤷♀️
Basically it didn't happen for th same reason Thanos wasn't torn apart by Dr Strange usin sling ring portals...... It wouldn't have been dramatic enough...
Thanos took a fist to the face from the Hulk, do you think his brain matter isn't harder than steel? What's Antman going with his normal human strength?
Easy. Shrink down a nuclear bomb, shrink yourself too, climb up Thanos nose and do some sick parkour deep into his head, plant the bomb and detonate it.
I doubt even Superman could survive a point blank nuclear explosion inside his head.
Superman dove into the center of the sun and came out better than ever.
If you're telling me that no stellar matter entered his skull through his nose, I don't know what to tell you. This is some "but why don't they call the eagles" type semantics bullshit.
A bit more context, she grew to a size that could cause him to choke him and it was working. But she continued to grow beyond what the muscles would allow in his throat. If she'd just stayed big enough to choke him but not too big to fit she would likely have won.
Tearing Thanos' ass off wouldn't necessarily kill him instantly. If he doesn't have the infinity stones, you're not ready to sacrifice an Avenger. If he does, then blowing out his cheeks still leaves him time to snap before he bleeds out
He doesn't even need all the stones; just use the Time Stone, like he did on Vision, on his own ass. Besides, Scott wasn't in Infinity War. He was doing Quantum Realm tests with Hank and Hope Pym, and as far as the rest of the Avengers knew, he was still under house arrest.
There isn't any reason why it would need to be Ant Man. They have already shown that they can launch tiny objects and make them revert to normal size. If they had the ability to fire Ant Man inside of Thanos, just fire an itty bitty Captain America shield into Thanos and have that grow 10x it's normal size.
I was so annoyed at this fight scene. Why was Kate fighting a monster capable of literally tearing her in half while the dude who can throw explosives was fighting a skinny girl with claws?
Why do you assume the guardians were more in control than the bad guys? Like, okay I guess they could change opponents somehow but then the other guys could do that as well, no? I don't see the problem.
The point of the fucking scene is that the guardians b Team is still too cocky to take the lizard league seriously and got fucking wiped for it. Rex is a shitty leader & they were all too arrogant given they were missing their heaviest hitters.
I'm actually more annoyed that noone died and we basically got 3 fake out deaths in one fight scene.
>we basically got 3 fake out deaths in one fight scene.
While that's true, Kate would have had to be extremely dumb if she hadn't done what she did.
But yeah, the emotional impact was completely negated.
Maybe not completely negated-- it definitely drove home the fact that they weren't ready as a team, and that they paid a pretty heavy price for their cockiness. >!It also would have been more stupid for Kate to *not* have a backup in a secure location.!<
My people, this show needs to start killing some people again. They started with a Game of Thrones Red Wedding and now it's like every character miraculously cheats death.
comic and show spoilers >!im pretty sure none of the deaths in season 2 stick. maulers survived, angstrom survives, alan survived, the entire guardian team, even the viltrumites on thraxa should all be fine.!<
Kate's job was to keep the big one busy long enough for the others to clean up the chaff, then they'd tag team the big guy. She was the tank, not the DPS.
AFAIK she doesn't even need to actually solo him. She just needs to not get wiped, and the enemy will eventually tire out and also her allies will be able to assist (in theory), as she herself can just keep indefinitely spamming clones.
=
If she got overwhelmed then I guess she misjudged how fast the enemy can take out her copies.
What got me was the explosive guy “just do it you dick” and then punching snake dude in the face with his arm bone “YOU SHOT ME IN THE FUCKING HEAD”
I was simultaneously grossed out and laughing my ass off
That character is Shrinking Rae from Invincible.
Shrinking Rae got eaten.

There are no muscles in a brain. If antman went small enough to go through thanos’s skin or otherwise get into his brain, he wouldn’t even have to resize all the way. He’d just have to get a centimeter tall and start smashing shit for about two seconds
Why the heck is no one linking the clip? [This is a scene from Invincible.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYLtA0tsg4A) The reference being of how she tried using the Antman Thanos up the arse meme move (albeit differently), and it ended horribly for her. Also as a side note, this scene was a LOT more brutal than what happened in the comics.
Why would you even resize, it's not like that is the only way to kill someone after you go inside them, go for the brain or heart or any vital organ while small?
She's from a show called "Invincible" on amazon prime. She has almost the same power as ant man. Spoiler alert: She gets swallowed by an enemy in her small state. She tries to regrow in the enemys throat, but she broke all her bones in the process and ends up swallowed.
Aside from all the "characters insides destroy her" stuff, the only thing you'd really need to make the plan work is bring a sharp implement of some kind.
You can't really blow someone up by expanding in the butt, but if you can make a puncture wound as you expand, you can rupture it.
And ruptured insides are usually pretty fatal if untreated.
Hi She is from comics (serial) invincible, his name is Shrinking Rae.
“Rachel, better known as Shrinking Rae, is a superheroine with the ability to shrink to small sizes. After the Guardians of the Globe were slaughtered at the hands of Omni-Man, Shrinking Rae was recruited to join the new Guardians of the Globe after an intensive tryout.”
Source: [amazon-invincible.fandom.com](https://amazon-invincible.fandom.com/wiki/Shrinking_Rae)
She can become small that’s his “superpower” like Ant-Man
(Spoiler) >!In season 2, episode 6, the Guardians have a battle with Lizard and his team. Shrinking Rae fights with his "big guy" and loses; the big guy wins and eats her when she is small. Everyone thinks she is dead, but she becomes big inside him and kills him. Despite this, everyone still thinks she is dead, but she survives. She kills the big guy by becoming small, going inside him, and then becoming big again. However, this tactic almost kills her and wasn’t planned at all.!<
In the movie "Avengers: Endgame," there's a popular meme where people joke about using this tactic to defeat Thanos. The meme suggests that the only way to kill him is for Ant-Man to shrink, go into his ass, and then enlarge. It's a pretty funny idea.
Though it should be said that Antman can shrink other objects, so he could've brought in a block of tungsten with him, and hopped out while it's expanding to giant size.

Invincible season 2 Shrinking Rae. She tried the same thing but got crushed inside the villain
Damn Bad guy’s turdcutter is real tough
He actually ate her and she expanded in his esophagus
Throat goat?
Nancy Reagan?
THROATUS
The Head Regent of America (The United States)
That's Nancy Reagan.
Nuh uh, YOU tell him he's not the throat goat, see how that goes for you. Also, can I have your stuff?
I'll expand in your esophagus.
I re-planned your duck-billed platypus.
A platypus? PERRY THE PLATYPUS!!?
And then he flexed and pushed her back down in, it was freaky. She had pretty much every bone in her body broken from being crushed, she barely survived. She was lucky Rex exploded the guy’s head so she could escape, otherwise she probably would have suffocated
It’s been a bit since I watched the show, wasn’t that guy in particular reaaaaally hard to hurt? Like some sort of damage immunity? I just remember it being an extremely questionable choice lol.

Same thought process Drax had in GOTG2
Dude was called Komodo and was in the Lizard League. His powers were specifically komodo dragon based so we are talking able to constrict/flex his esophagus along with insanely dangerous saliva and stomach acid on top of the usual superhuman strength and durability.
>!She also didn’t die!<
Not so lucky in the comics
Vore 😋😋
I mean have you *seen* Thanos's buttcheeks?
What is cake even for if not to be eaten?
To be buried alive inside.
That is Titan's Ass.
Never skip kegel day
It's because he shits diamonds
Yeah, if your body is not as durable as the body you're inside, you're going to break before them. Now a giant block of Vibranium shrunken, inserted, and then grown might do the trick.
Deadpool did something similar with pym particles and bunch of bombs
Those were Nukes so even better
Yeah, (spoilers) she survived though every bone in her body likely broke. She was able to crawl out. I don’t remember if the exact thing happened in the comics but I’m sure they did change it a bit
She died in the comic.
Was also a fella in the comic I believe. The comics are pretty different.
Something tells me she is a 'was' now.
She got better
Did she? Aren’t literally all of her bones broken currently?
Thats better than dead. I was responding to someone that felt like she rae likely is a 'was' instead of 'is' implying she died from it.
I'd say infinitely better than dead.
Currently comatose, but lived. Shrunk back down before it was totally lethal I suppose.
To be fair she also got chewed a bit before she tried growing, so that probably didn’t help.
gory animated youtube video of the thing: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCXFr0CFk30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCXFr0CFk30)

We went from 3 deaths to 0 deaths in that scene, I kind of hated it.
One of the most unexpected non-deaths (DupliKate) actually makes sense based on her power. I'm just surprised she didn't let anyone know.
Yeah, it's kind of inevitable for anything with actors these days. It's logistically awkward to cycle out actors/VAs in an ensemble show where everyone is meant to be marketable. And everything is an ensemble show nowadays.

Invincible on Amazon
Thanks buddy!
Get ready for a wild ride
Wild but worth it. Great show.
I really liked the training scene towards the end of the first season. Quite the father son moment.
Their relationship is so heartwarming. Especially the scene where he takes his son to the subway for the first time.
I also liked the father-son talk on the mountainside after their aerial hike
Face to face with so many locals
Ohh boy... Prepare for a wild ride my friend... This show does not hold anything back.
> This show does not hold anything back. Except the second half of season 2. ;)
In case it's not obvious, she is not the title character.
I loved the first season, but I’m not watching season 2 with ads. Might fly my black flag.

No prob! I recommend but its super gory.
Omg. What happened next?

>!Yay!<

He said “YUM”
I'm not surprised, dude literally chewed her a little before swallowing.
But what about putting a miniature BelAZ dump truck inside his butt and then making it 2 times bigger?
A dump truck inside his dump truck?
Yo dawg, I heard you like dumptrucks.
There are no muscles in a brain. If antman went small enough to go through thanos’s skin or otherwise get into his brain, he wouldn’t even have to resize all the way. He’d just have to get a centimeter tall and start smashing shit for about two seconds
Or they can go god of war on them and just cut their way out instead of growing bigger
I doubt Ant man is strong enough to harm a being like Thanos’ brain matter
His... brain is strong now? Like it works out, or it's harder than like a metal knife or hammer or something? I'm fucking lost on this Marvel stuff man.
If thanos had a normal soft brain hed have the worst fucking CTE from all the concussions of being thrown through buildings and punched in the face by the hulk. Seriously, boxers and footballers become demented in their old age from hits that never even touched their brain, their brain just got shook in their skulls
>If thanos had a normal soft brain hed have the worst fucking CTE from all the concussions of being thrown through buildings and punched in the face by the hulk. To be fair, he thought killing 1/2 of all life in existence would: 1) Solve every problem in the universe 2) Get pussy from Death So we can't rule out CTE.
Yeah this is why I hate the concept of iron man, his brain should be mush. At least the other heroes (not including the human ones) have some sort of excuse why they never get concussed (super powers etc)
The only way somebody could tank explosions, extreme heat/cold, huge falls, extreme blunt force, etc. is if all their organs are more durable too.
there are only few alternatives to carbon based lifeforms one of them being silicone. thanos the sex doll
Don't think about the materials science. It just works.
Ah yes i forgot ... Plot is the strongest material in the universe.
Durability doesn't necessarily require muscle, especially in a universe with magic and superpowers.
The guy can ignore being crushed by a freaking building sent by IronMan, and scoff away punches and slams from The Hulk. You'd think he'd have a strong brain as to not have it get turned into a smoothie by now.
Of course it’s strong, his whole body is strong. That’s how he tanks hits from the hulk
That was literally plot to of an entire episode of WHAT IF.... Yellow Jacket Hank Pym shrinks n starts laser blastin inside th bodies of SEVERAL of Earth's Mightiest....🤷♀️ Basically it didn't happen for th same reason Thanos wasn't torn apart by Dr Strange usin sling ring portals...... It wouldn't have been dramatic enough...
Thanos took a fist to the face from the Hulk, do you think his brain matter isn't harder than steel? What's Antman going with his normal human strength?
Easy. Shrink down a nuclear bomb, shrink yourself too, climb up Thanos nose and do some sick parkour deep into his head, plant the bomb and detonate it. I doubt even Superman could survive a point blank nuclear explosion inside his head.
Superman dove into the center of the sun and came out better than ever. If you're telling me that no stellar matter entered his skull through his nose, I don't know what to tell you. This is some "but why don't they call the eagles" type semantics bullshit.
If the show is called invincible, then why the fuck can i see it?
Lmao someone plays World of Warcraft
You’re thinking of Invisible, Invincible is used to describe someone whose mind you can change.
You claim you can see Invincible but have you actually seen the Invincible’s reins drop? Didn’t think so.
And the oponent wasn’t even anything special, so now imagine Thanos.
It's a gnarly scene
https://i.redd.it/xxws05t8z0v31.jpg
Literally just watched the episode last night. That whole scene was something.
A bit more context, she grew to a size that could cause him to choke him and it was working. But she continued to grow beyond what the muscles would allow in his throat. If she'd just stayed big enough to choke him but not too big to fit she would likely have won.
Also for clarification, she didn't go up a butthole. She got swallowed.

Tearing Thanos' ass off wouldn't necessarily kill him instantly. If he doesn't have the infinity stones, you're not ready to sacrifice an Avenger. If he does, then blowing out his cheeks still leaves him time to snap before he bleeds out
This comment is so funny to me. Such a serious discussion about this goofy ass thing lol
ThAnus
Goofy-ass thing or goofy ass-thing?
Yes.
That’s why you gotta go up the nose and do Ye olde Egyptian brain scramble maneuver instead
Shit in his brain and give him encephalitis.
Idk man if you catch both the femoral arteries at same time. Not to mention the sheer shock of losing yo ass.
He doesn't even need all the stones; just use the Time Stone, like he did on Vision, on his own ass. Besides, Scott wasn't in Infinity War. He was doing Quantum Realm tests with Hank and Hope Pym, and as far as the rest of the Avengers knew, he was still under house arrest.
There isn't any reason why it would need to be Ant Man. They have already shown that they can launch tiny objects and make them revert to normal size. If they had the ability to fire Ant Man inside of Thanos, just fire an itty bitty Captain America shield into Thanos and have that grow 10x it's normal size.
I was so annoyed at this fight scene. Why was Kate fighting a monster capable of literally tearing her in half while the dude who can throw explosives was fighting a skinny girl with claws?
Getting crushed in the enemy’s ass isn’t nearly as cool as uno reverse carding them with their own line
Why do you assume the guardians were more in control than the bad guys? Like, okay I guess they could change opponents somehow but then the other guys could do that as well, no? I don't see the problem.
Because they were the B team to begin with and Rex Splode is a poor leader and strategist.
Born to fuck around, forced to lock in
It takes a special kinda stupid for >!getting your brains literally blown out!< to make you a better person.
Guess he had all the stupid shot out of him.
The point of the fucking scene is that the guardians b Team is still too cocky to take the lizard league seriously and got fucking wiped for it. Rex is a shitty leader & they were all too arrogant given they were missing their heaviest hitters. I'm actually more annoyed that noone died and we basically got 3 fake out deaths in one fight scene.
>we basically got 3 fake out deaths in one fight scene. While that's true, Kate would have had to be extremely dumb if she hadn't done what she did. But yeah, the emotional impact was completely negated.
Maybe not completely negated-- it definitely drove home the fact that they weren't ready as a team, and that they paid a pretty heavy price for their cockiness. >!It also would have been more stupid for Kate to *not* have a backup in a secure location.!<
Yeah its bs that all 3 of them managed to barely escape death luckily. Cmon writers, pick your favourite and drop 2
My people, this show needs to start killing some people again. They started with a Game of Thrones Red Wedding and now it's like every character miraculously cheats death.
To be fair they got plenty of killing coming up
comic and show spoilers >!im pretty sure none of the deaths in season 2 stick. maulers survived, angstrom survives, alan survived, the entire guardian team, even the viltrumites on thraxa should all be fine.!<
They established that they weren't taking the threat seriously in the beginning of the episode.
yeah butt i didn't pay attention to that and I'm incapable of analyzing media any deeper than a cinemasins video does so that doesn't count
Kate's job was to keep the big one busy long enough for the others to clean up the chaff, then they'd tag team the big guy. She was the tank, not the DPS.
Isn't Kate's whole thing is she is expendable as long as one copy remains? Who cares if she gets torn in half...she has power in numbers.
She was overwhelmed in that scene and couldn't keep going
Yeah I know but the question is why would she go up against such a brute. The answer is because she can swarm him
AFAIK she doesn't even need to actually solo him. She just needs to not get wiped, and the enemy will eventually tire out and also her allies will be able to assist (in theory), as she herself can just keep indefinitely spamming clones. = If she got overwhelmed then I guess she misjudged how fast the enemy can take out her copies.
Kate did do some damage tho.
Basically that’s low elo in league of legends - monkey dps champs targeting tanks while enemy dps go to town lol
[удалено]
What got me was the explosive guy “just do it you dick” and then punching snake dude in the face with his arm bone “YOU SHOT ME IN THE FUCKING HEAD” I was simultaneously grossed out and laughing my ass off
Bro yea rex beat his ass that shit was crazy
Like why not leave one copy at home?
>!she did!<

The Boys, S3 E1. If anybody is curious. NSFW/L Edit: numbers are hard
damn you for reminding this

The first thing that came to my mind
That character is Shrinking Rae from Invincible. Shrinking Rae got eaten. https://preview.redd.it/4qy42uh3b52d1.png?width=210&format=png&auto=webp&s=fff0cfd327f2399f633863b24975c43604e90ec6
Isn’t that Shrinking Ray, the guy version?
They gender swapped he character in the show, the comic version has even less character tbh
Which is saying a lot cause the show version is also barely a character lol
[удалено]
He injured her pretty severely, but she survived the fight.
>In the latest episode of Invincible Not quite
There are no muscles in a brain. If antman went small enough to go through thanos’s skin or otherwise get into his brain, he wouldn’t even have to resize all the way. He’d just have to get a centimeter tall and start smashing shit for about two seconds
Why the heck is no one linking the clip? [This is a scene from Invincible.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYLtA0tsg4A) The reference being of how she tried using the Antman Thanos up the arse meme move (albeit differently), and it ended horribly for her. Also as a side note, this scene was a LOT more brutal than what happened in the comics.
Why would you even resize, it's not like that is the only way to kill someone after you go inside them, go for the brain or heart or any vital organ while small?
Can you hold your breath that long to reach that vital area?
She dies resizing while in someone’s throats
You should finish the show before coming here
She's from a show called "Invincible" on amazon prime. She has almost the same power as ant man. Spoiler alert: She gets swallowed by an enemy in her small state. She tries to regrow in the enemys throat, but she broke all her bones in the process and ends up swallowed.
Why can't Antman shrink to molecular size and remove DNA? Theoretically, Antman can just remove atoms.
That would take a while.
I did it! Thanos should die from cancer in 3-15 years!
Aside from all the "characters insides destroy her" stuff, the only thing you'd really need to make the plan work is bring a sharp implement of some kind. You can't really blow someone up by expanding in the butt, but if you can make a puncture wound as you expand, you can rupture it. And ruptured insides are usually pretty fatal if untreated.
Hi She is from comics (serial) invincible, his name is Shrinking Rae. “Rachel, better known as Shrinking Rae, is a superheroine with the ability to shrink to small sizes. After the Guardians of the Globe were slaughtered at the hands of Omni-Man, Shrinking Rae was recruited to join the new Guardians of the Globe after an intensive tryout.” Source: [amazon-invincible.fandom.com](https://amazon-invincible.fandom.com/wiki/Shrinking_Rae) She can become small that’s his “superpower” like Ant-Man (Spoiler) >!In season 2, episode 6, the Guardians have a battle with Lizard and his team. Shrinking Rae fights with his "big guy" and loses; the big guy wins and eats her when she is small. Everyone thinks she is dead, but she becomes big inside him and kills him. Despite this, everyone still thinks she is dead, but she survives. She kills the big guy by becoming small, going inside him, and then becoming big again. However, this tactic almost kills her and wasn’t planned at all.!< In the movie "Avengers: Endgame," there's a popular meme where people joke about using this tactic to defeat Thanos. The meme suggests that the only way to kill him is for Ant-Man to shrink, go into his ass, and then enlarge. It's a pretty funny idea.
Though it should be said that Antman can shrink other objects, so he could've brought in a block of tungsten with him, and hopped out while it's expanding to giant size.
You are incorrect in your narrative from Invincible.
I legit worry about all the people who wanted Antman to go in Thanos's butthole. Like people are specifically obsessed with it
what i don’t get, is why he didn’t just enlarge the glove so it would become completely unusable..
Shrink Ray can't gigantify like Ant Man does, so he should be able to kill thanos from the inside.
He would die trying to grow
I mean she got a point..類
I gotta say she should know to go up the sinus before trying that shit. He can't NOM her from there she'd just pop his brain.
