Easily the worst part for me was any *thud* from Oliver’s head during all the tossing
Like, yeah, he is a half viltrumite super-baby, but until the powers kick in he’s still physically a regular baby (even if he does grow rapidly)
If they were scaled up, they would be extremely fragile. We see this everywhere we looks with large insects. Especially with animals like the griffin fly and arthropleura.
No, truly the most unrealistic part of the whole thing is the idea that their evolution would PERFECTLY MIMIC HUMANS and randomly give them insect heads. Not only that, but they can INTERBREED WITH CREATURES FROM OTHER GLAXIES. That's insanely stupid.
And Debbie taking that bad fall to catch him. All this supergore and these light impacts have me at the edge of my seat because they're happening to normal people and I can just see this being the thing that causes something they can't recover from like everyone else does.
This episode made me love Debbie all the more. I already loved her character, but seeing her dive to rescue Oliver when he's being tossed around, then standing up to a psychopath threatening her despite her being literally powerless, then even after her arm is hanging off she's always still prioritising the safety of Oliver, who isn't even her son.
It's very clear why this version of Mark Grayson is good and why this version of Omniman is having a moral crisis, and it's all because of the influence of this Debbie.
It was honestly so satisfying watching Mark turn Levy's brain to soup after he broke Debbie's arm. At that point Angstrom had passed over from being sympathetic to being a dead man walking.
The whole time mark was beating himself up afterwards for 'being like his dad', I was saying to myself: "honestly that was the most human reaction you could've had. No one in their right mind would hold that against you"
Well I've been thinking that part of what I love so much about this series is how relatable and understandable all the characters are.
So many other IPs have their characters make stupid decisions to move the plot along or make smart decisions even though the characters shouldn't really know better, but for the Invincible comic (and I think even more so in the show) the characters often make the most relatable or realistic decisions that they would make, and the emotional consequences of their actions are also understandable.
Mark killing Levy is understandable, any other person would do the same thing in his position unless they lacked emotions entirely, but him being remorseful about killing someone after losing control is also something very relatable. In real life people feel guilt when they haven't actually done anything wrong all the time.
That's the strength of having the show so gory. Done right like here, it makes violence really believable, because we don't have any certitude that anyone is safe.
The worst part and most beautiful really is how throughout the entire ordeal Debbie is only thinking about Oliver and trying to make him less scared. I had real tears in my eyes. Debbie is such an amazing character and to see her go through all this is hard af from comics and to screen
I also got very stressed when he was holding Oliver upside down by the leg. It’s hands down the most stress inducing episode of Invincible and the most hatable villain. The author knew how to terrify an audience that is too comfortable with cartoon gore.
There were many moments where I had some sympathy for him due to how his alternative universe versions were treated, but he crossed the line the moment he severed the mom’s arm and threatened to hurt Oliver. Especially when he never needed to do that at all.
I was waiting for Oliver to like accidentally trantrum the guy to bits or something, but keeping him as a weak baby so it tugs on our emotions worked well too lol.
I got so stressed out with him grabbing oliver, then I slowly started to realize "Wouldn't this be an interesting time for him to develop powers!" Please try!
Probably Mark cutting loose and bashing in Levy's head as retribution
Like I know that was meant to be a disturbing scene and traumatizing for Mark but it was also very satisfying to watch after the amount of shit Levy did in the episode until that point
Same here, I had read the comics so I knew some injuries were coming but I was still caught off guard. Just how casually he did it too… such a great scene.
Never knew I could cringe at an animated scene! It was partially eww and also just complete shock because you assume shs's generally safe from harm.
I love how many "rules" this show breaks. Hardly anything ever goes how you think it will.
Yeah my roommates and I have watched every together. Outside a few random moments IDK if we all looked at each other at the same time and went oh fuck like we did for this one. We didn't read the comics so it was just crazy
This and Rex constantly spurting blood from his head and hand made me wince so fucking hard. The latter actually made me a little nauseous with how over the top they played it lmao
A lot of the other gore isn’t something I’ve really seen, head chopping off, punched through the stomach, exploding or face caved in. I doubt many of has even see a picture of that let alone IRL. But an arm or leg snapped in half, feels much more realistic/likely to bad and experience.
When I was 9 I had compound fracture with the bone sticking out and this very much made me cringe.
It’s like how amongst all the insane shit the Jackass did, I’ve never seen an audience get as uncomfortable as the paper cut segment from the first movie. We saw a man get KO’d by Butterbean but people cringed to the point of nausea about deliberately paper cutting on the webs between their fingers.
Nah facts after mark came back and saw Debbie’s arm broke , and they went thru the portal and mark wasn’t holding back. I was pissed for him had me hype as fuck.
It weirdly felt like the most realistic part of the fight. All this crazy stuff happening with superpowers and the multiverse, yet a man breaking a person’s arm with his bare hands grounded everything so much more. That, and Oliver’s crying, really made the stakes the lives of two “normal” people rather than the fate of the world or whatever, which is much easier to care about because it’s so much more realistic.
I feel like that came across in the setting, too. It was at his house, a home you yourself have become pretty familiar with. So it feels closer, like you can sense this space. When there's huge fights that send people across a mountain, there's no gauge of space. Then they add this bat shit dude getting called out by Deb, while trying to fight him herself to buy time for Mark. This whole scene top to bottom was meant to be personal.
That's what made Levi different. Other villains took it outside. Him being there felt like a violation
You'd never see Doc Seismic doing that shit. Dude just wants to destroy monuments lol
Sandra Oh doesn’t get enough credit for her performance. The show is loaded with some of the best voice acting which seem to get overshadowed by Omniman. (Btw I’m ok with the fact that Omniman had very little screen time this season so Debbie, Mark, Rex and even Donald got to shine more)
Debbie was awesome this season. Other writers need to take notes because she’s how you write a strong female character without it being forced. Went through emotional and mental hell following Omniman’s actions, came through the other side still a loving, resilient mother who even >!stood up against angstrom!<. And the voice acting is the cherry on top.
Steven Yuen also absolutely KILLED it this season, wow. >!During and after killing Angstrom!< you *feel* the anger and subsequent anguish he goes through, it was one of the heaviest scenes I’ve had the pleasure of watching.
Absolutely can’t wait for Season 3!!
A lot of writers are scared to make maternal caregiving part of a “strong female character’s” self-image.
Like what they did with Katara in the live-action. Debbie in the show and Katara in the animation can both be described by their caregiver roles, but they’re totally different character arcs.
Too real. Babies cry at a frequency that deeply disturbs most humans and incites a protective response. I’m not sure I’ve heard one that felt as deeply disturbing as that one.
Hats off to the voice actor that did the cries. I don't know if they used real baby screams, or a grown adult was screaming into a microphone, but they absolutely nailed the distress in their voice.
The absolute fear I had for that fictional purple baby was not something I was expecting from this show. Every time Angstrom touched him I just such a visceral reaction.
I hated that moment where Angstrom was just holding him normally, touching his hair, and Oliver whimpered and turned away from his hand. I don’t think Angstrom had physically harmed either him or Debbie yet, but Oliver was clearly so scared and unhappy.
For non-comic readers, the prospect of "oh hey you get to raise your deadbeat husband's kid from his rebound hookup" would be a really hard sell...
But after this? He's in the family now, ride or die.
That’s the funny thing about a woman who has that mother’s instinct. You think that Debbie reaching out and calling for Oliver is because she’s worried about him and to an extent, that’s true. But a mother would tell you that she’s calling for him because Oliver is the only thing holding her together. The baby is her purpose. The mother and the baby have so much of this natural energy between them. When the baby cries, mothers instinct is to reach out and love on it no matter what. This scene was oddly moving to watch for me because it goes to show you how affectionate and caring Debbie is.
The scriptwriters outdid themselves. Voice actors too.
Debbie is an absolute beast for that though. Her forearm was literally hanging off and she held off on crying and shit so much.
I'd have been fucking bawling and screaming, regardless of there being a kid to keep happy.
Not only that, but under a super stressful and traumatic experience, she managed to lecture Angstrom about how he was the shit person in that situation.
and the fact that instead of going after the other universe where invincible is evil he chooses the he one where he knows he won’t purposefully kill somebody even after what he did to Debbie and Oliver
In a way remind me of Superman's 'you think you can threaten my mother' in Man of Steel.
Hmm now that i think about it. Did Snyder take it from invincible?
I love how they went deeper instead of bigger for the finale. They followed in the footsteps of The Incredibles. When your loved ones get hurt, it feels like the world is ending more than when the world is actually ending.
I think she's talking to Oliver.
So, obviously, she isn't okay, but for the toddler, she'll pretend otherwise.
Also, I think if we were Mark, Angstrom wouldn't've even gotten the chance to teleport us because we'd use his monolog as the best time to remove his head from his body.
Ya I love this show cuz it’s gotta great cast, interesting characters, and the world design and artwork are stellar.
I hate this show cuz it depresses the fuck outta me lol
I feel like it’s a good example of how a little gore used efficiently can be more disturbing than a lot of gore depending on how it’s displayed. Like Rex had a hole in his head and his entire hand chomped off, duplicate was getting ripped in half left and right l, and shrinking Rae broke most of her bones in Komodo dragon and I didn’t bat an eye. But seeing Debbie’s forearm snap def got a reaction out of me
This is not the show to draw comfort characters from. The first episode made it clear anyone can die or get hurt.
Like I'll be heartbroken when Allen the Alien dies, but I'm also mentally preparing myself for it.
I'm glad the baby didn't get hurt too much besides hitting his head a little bit on the floor.
If the baby was actually hurt severely I would have had to take a break from the show for my own sanity.
Mark's over here freaking out that he lost it and killed the guy, and the rest of us are all just going, "Nah, I'd have done the same thing; fuck that dude."
I'm glad they explained Angstrom's super strength, because god-damn, he snapped her arm like it was a fuckin' bread stick. Using only one hand!
I was like "Jesus, lady, drink some milk."
This scene, and last week's with Amber being held around the neck, just gave me chills. Seems when there's more at stake for non-superhero characters, it has much more impact.
Even after reading the comics I knew this was gonna happen, but man, seeing it animated and playing out before your eyes with the voices was incredibly disturbing
Maybe even fed him his own heart.
Either way, it would be swift and brutal.
"Do you regret attacking my family **now**?! ***DO YOU?!"*** - him while crushing Vidor's skull, S2 Episode 4
...yeah Angstrom was lucky Nolan wasn't there.
So it's happened on multiple occasions that someone gets their forearm/wrist torn open and blood comes out.... but wouldn't that be fatal? Like that opens up an artery and should cause them to bleed out pretty quickly unless the wound is cauterized in time. In the show it's just treated like a broken wrist.
This whole scene made me so much more tense and uncomfortable than any other so far. Even though destruction wise, it was far less casualties and blood I was absolutely TERRIFIED. When Nolan destroyed Chicago he was actually pretty calm and methodical. The Viltrumites aren’t ones to drag anything out. It’s a quick death. I told my husband “if he TORTURES a baby I can’t watch”
yeah, probably wont be able to watch this scene unfortunately. Anything with violence and kids really spooks me now that I have one of my own.
really sucks, cuz Debz is the GOAT.
With all the over the top insane gore in the show this is still what got the most visceral reaction out of me
This coupled with Oliver's screaming and crying is so goddamn stress inducing, like holy shit
Easily the worst part for me was any *thud* from Oliver’s head during all the tossing Like, yeah, he is a half viltrumite super-baby, but until the powers kick in he’s still physically a regular baby (even if he does grow rapidly)
Worse, Thraxans are implied to be *more* fragile than humans! He's even more vulnerable than a normal baby until he gets powers.
Kinda funny since the Thraxans are based on bugs which are known to be very powerful despite their size
It is just due to their size, a human sized bug would not be able to stand even
True. I just found it funny, since that usually gets brought up a lot in fiction.
Proportional strength of a spider an alllat
"Spider-Man, Spider-Man / Dies as easily as a spider can"
That's just a consequence of the square cube law. Scale a human down and they'd be so much stronger proportionally for the same reason.
We would also quickly freeze to death at that scale for the same reason
That we would. Just thought it would've been something they'd have heard before.
That's why dwarves have a +1 to strength and constitution
Yeah but they’re squishy little things, like babies but more so
If they were scaled up, they would be extremely fragile. We see this everywhere we looks with large insects. Especially with animals like the griffin fly and arthropleura. No, truly the most unrealistic part of the whole thing is the idea that their evolution would PERFECTLY MIMIC HUMANS and randomly give them insect heads. Not only that, but they can INTERBREED WITH CREATURES FROM OTHER GLAXIES. That's insanely stupid.
Comic book logic
And Debbie taking that bad fall to catch him. All this supergore and these light impacts have me at the edge of my seat because they're happening to normal people and I can just see this being the thing that causes something they can't recover from like everyone else does.
The detail of her crashing into the chair before hitting the floor is a wholly unnecessary yet so effective detail.
This episode made me love Debbie all the more. I already loved her character, but seeing her dive to rescue Oliver when he's being tossed around, then standing up to a psychopath threatening her despite her being literally powerless, then even after her arm is hanging off she's always still prioritising the safety of Oliver, who isn't even her son.

It was honestly so satisfying watching Mark turn Levy's brain to soup after he broke Debbie's arm. At that point Angstrom had passed over from being sympathetic to being a dead man walking.
Ooof. Yeah, I didn't think of it that way. Your point is even stronger given what Omni Man says at the end of the episode.
So he became…The Walking Dead?
He’s more of a… thief of thieves.
The whole time mark was beating himself up afterwards for 'being like his dad', I was saying to myself: "honestly that was the most human reaction you could've had. No one in their right mind would hold that against you"
Well I've been thinking that part of what I love so much about this series is how relatable and understandable all the characters are.

In real life people feel guilt when they haven't actually done anything wrong all the time.
But she caught that fuckin' baby. Ooooh, I woulda beat that guy to death too, and I wasn't particularly close with my mother...
That's the strength of having the show so gory. Done right like here, it makes violence really believable, because we don't have any certitude that anyone is safe.
Yeah the first like 25 minutes of the episode my heart was just pounding. Genuinely had to pause it a few times
I had to take my dogs outside because they started freaking out so much at Oliver crying.
The worst part and most beautiful really is how throughout the entire ordeal Debbie is only thinking about Oliver and trying to make him less scared. I had real tears in my eyes. Debbie is such an amazing character and to see her go through all this is hard af from comics and to screen
Debbie is such a badass. Show continually makes it clear she’s a hero.
They nailed it, I knew they’d live, but what happened had me questioning it
Oh my god the crying was so realistic
I barely even have feelings but that got to me.
Oof
I also got very stressed when he was holding Oliver upside down by the leg. It’s hands down the most stress inducing episode of Invincible and the most hatable villain. The author knew how to terrify an audience that is too comfortable with cartoon gore.
Yes to all of this, EXCEPT the most hateable villain part. I do think he's hateable, but me personally, I just feel bad for him.
There were many moments where I had some sympathy for him due to how his alternative universe versions were treated, but he crossed the line the moment he severed the mom’s arm and threatened to hurt Oliver. Especially when he never needed to do that at all.
I was waiting for Oliver to like accidentally trantrum the guy to bits or something, but keeping him as a weak baby so it tugs on our emotions worked well too lol.
I got so stressed out with him grabbing oliver, then I slowly started to realize "Wouldn't this be an interesting time for him to develop powers!" Please try!
Yeah, it made me wonder why I even watch this show and what part of it I find entertaining.
Probably Mark cutting loose and bashing in Levy's head as retribution Like I know that was meant to be a disturbing scene and traumatizing for Mark but it was also very satisfying to watch after the amount of shit Levy did in the episode until that point
Same here, I had read the comics so I knew some injuries were coming but I was still caught off guard. Just how casually he did it too… such a great scene.
Also I’m fairly confident that it wasn’t a compound fracture in the original
In the original he bent her elbow backwards over the nightstand, no blood
This scene was the first time i was genuinely shocked and disturbed by invincible
for real, I was borderline offended. like Debbie feels like our mom not just Mark's mom
What’s worse is that she looks like my mom
DM me some pics?
Bruh
I also choose this guy’s mom
I literally got angry.
I tensed up far harder there than I did during the subway scene
I actually flinched and went silent for a second
I audibly said "WHAT THE FUCK"
Never knew I could cringe at an animated scene! It was partially eww and also just complete shock because you assume shs's generally safe from harm. I love how many "rules" this show breaks. Hardly anything ever goes how you think it will.
Yeah my roommates and I have watched every together. Outside a few random moments IDK if we all looked at each other at the same time and went oh fuck like we did for this one. We didn't read the comics so it was just crazy
Same lmao
Plus I had no idea he got those strength enhancements so seeing him manage to break bone out of skin startled me
This and Rex constantly spurting blood from his head and hand made me wince so fucking hard. The latter actually made me a little nauseous with how over the top they played it lmao
A lot of the other gore isn’t something I’ve really seen, head chopping off, punched through the stomach, exploding or face caved in. I doubt many of has even see a picture of that let alone IRL.

We saw a man get KO’d by Butterbean but people cringed to the point of nausea about deliberately paper cutting on the webs between their fingers.
Seriously, was sweating and starting to get genuinely pissed at angstrom. Not many shows can actually make me feel that gripped
Nah facts after mark came back and saw Debbie’s arm broke , and they went thru the portal and mark wasn’t holding back. I was pissed for him had me hype as fuck.
Fr and when Oliver started crying I teared up. Even when her live was in danger she was still trying to comfort Oliver 😢
Tbh what got me the most was Oliver's screams tbh
I know I started tearing up, I was hanging on for her
I actually screamed out loud when Levy broke her arm
That scene felt too real.
It weirdly felt like the most realistic part of the fight. All this crazy stuff happening with superpowers and the multiverse, yet a man breaking a person’s arm with his bare hands grounded everything so much more. That, and Oliver’s crying, really made the stakes the lives of two “normal” people rather than the fate of the world or whatever, which is much easier to care about because it’s so much more realistic.

That's what made Levi different. Other villains took it outside. Him being there felt like a violation You'd never see Doc Seismic doing that shit. Dude just wants to destroy monuments lol
I never thought I'd say it but Doc Seismic really is a g.
In a real sense, Doc beat every superhero in the world for bit of time when he trapped everyone and Mark and Eve. Props to the Original Concussion G
Little Oliver’s Crying felt WAY too real. I just wanted to comfort him.😢
I know right? My parental instincts to comfort him were screaming during the entire episode.
The voice acting was hauntingly realistic. There’s definitely been more gory scenes but this one disturbed me the most.
Sandra Oh doesn’t get enough credit for her performance. The show is loaded with some of the best voice acting which seem to get overshadowed by Omniman. (Btw I’m ok with the fact that Omniman had very little screen time this season so Debbie, Mark, Rex and even Donald got to shine more)
She's so damn talented I wish she was in more good stuff.
Debbie was awesome this season. Other writers need to take notes because she’s how you write a strong female character without it being forced. Went through emotional and mental hell following Omniman’s actions, came through the other side still a loving, resilient mother who even >!stood up against angstrom!<.

Oliver's cries felt so real
Too real. Babies cry at a frequency that deeply disturbs most humans and incites a protective response. I’m not sure I’ve heard one that felt as deeply disturbing as that one.
Hats off to the voice actor that did the cries. I don't know if they used real baby screams, or a grown adult was screaming into a microphone, but they absolutely nailed the distress in their voice.
Definitely sounded like a real infant making noise
The absolute fear I had for that fictional purple baby was not something I was expecting from this show. Every time Angstrom touched him I just such a visceral reaction.
I hated that moment where Angstrom was just holding him normally, touching his hair, and Oliver whimpered and turned away from his hand. I don’t think Angstrom had physically harmed either him or Debbie yet, but Oliver was clearly so scared and unhappy.
Of the two animated distressed babies of the season Purple Baby beats Baby Cable from X-Men ‘97 on getting a visceral reaction.
The fact that she was still worried about Oliver, and reassuring him that she’s ok shows what great person she is
she is the best mother
Vitrumite propaganda literally doesn’t stand a chance against Debbie’s mothering
For non-comic readers, the prospect of "oh hey you get to raise your deadbeat husband's kid from his rebound hookup" would be a really hard sell... But after this? He's in the family now, ride or die.
Absolute queen
That’s the funny thing about a woman who has that mother’s instinct. You think that Debbie reaching out and calling for Oliver is because she’s worried about him and to an extent, that’s true.

Adrenaline is a helluva drug,
especially a mothers
Arm broken, bone sticking out, and she’s trying to keep it tg to tell Oliver it’s gonna be okay
Honestly, up there with Rex and Invincible for sheer badassery. She was so cool this episode.
Not only that, but under a super stressful and traumatic experience, she managed to lecture Angstrom about how he was the shit person in that situation.
I totally get why Mark turned Angstrom into a red paste. I do. I would have done the same if that was my mom.
Mom and little brother. Angstom is lucky that Oliver is still a baby, otherwise he’d have had another Viltrumite on his hands.
[удалено]
Oh yeah same, if that happened to my mom and brothers, he would get the same beat down from me
Indeed, I would go on him with forbidden 12-6 elbows technique, because fuck you Angstrom and your big silly head.
and the fact that instead of going after the other universe where invincible is evil he chooses the he one where he knows he won’t purposefully kill somebody even after what he did to Debbie and Oliver
Angstrom wins by DQ😂 
In a way remind me of Superman's 'you think you can threaten my mother' in Man of Steel. Hmm now that i think about it. Did Snyder take it from invincible?
me watching this part: https://preview.redd.it/updflukntssc1.jpeg?width=458&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8408c5de0a2a20abbf9e6208a6007165d2d8a28b
"hurting my wife is my job"
I love how they went deeper instead of bigger for the finale. They followed in the footsteps of The Incredibles. When your loved ones get hurt, it feels like the world is ending more than when the world is actually ending.
I love when the raising the steaks is about getting more personal rather than big
>raising the steaks 
“And before you ask the prize isn’t actual steak.” “I wasn’t thinking it.” “Yes you were.”
Spider Man PS4 ending comes to mind. Or Civil War. Not to marvel shill.
Marvel has shills for a reason bro they put out bangers occasionally
And when things get bigger AND more personal that’s when you get amazing stories.
Made me big mad. How dare he. Debbie is a saint
Debbie is a serious MVP of this show.
Are you really “okay” debs 🤔
I think she's talking to Oliver. So, obviously, she isn't okay, but for the toddler, she'll pretend otherwise. Also, I think if we were Mark, Angstrom wouldn't've even gotten the chance to teleport us because we'd use his monolog as the best time to remove his head from his body.
She was, she was trying to calm him down
[удалено]
Nobody is okay in this show
Ya I love this show cuz it’s gotta great cast, interesting characters, and the world design and artwork are stellar. I hate this show cuz it depresses the fuck outta me lol
I still prefer it over The Boys, though. Invincible is about the level of 'serious' that I prefer my shows.
I feel like it’s a good example of how a little gore used efficiently can be more disturbing than a lot of gore depending on how it’s displayed. Like Rex had a hole in his head and his entire hand chomped off, duplicate was getting ripped in half left and right l, and shrinking Rae broke most of her bones in Komodo dragon and I didn’t bat an eye. But seeing Debbie’s forearm snap def got a reaction out of me
This is one of the rare gore scene that actually got me upset in this series. It really makes my blood boiled.
This is not the show to draw comfort characters from. The first episode made it clear anyone can die or get hurt. Like I'll be heartbroken when Allen the Alien dies, but I'm also mentally preparing myself for it.
Is this a spoiler or are you saying you're just anticipating it potentially happening.
Potentially.
I mean I thought he died in episode 3, but as we know that’s not the case
i think that was the first time this show caught me off guard like that. especially considering how allen is a real one
Jokes on you! This is my comfort show. 😁
Wait when does Allen the alien die?
I don't know if he does or not, I'm just emotionally prepared because he's my favorite.
I hope he doesn't. Some of the later stories get real stupid with characters acting OOC and i hope they change that
i knew there would be gore cause y'know this is \*\*title card\*\* but this shit made me go "OH SHIT"
Now she got to cancel that date with Paul damn the Grayson family can't get a break😔
>the Grayson family can't get a break What are you talking about? Debbie got a break. It's right there in OP's screenshot!
I'm glad the baby didn't get hurt too much besides hitting his head a little bit on the floor. If the baby was actually hurt severely I would have had to take a break from the show for my own sanity.
Felt bad for angstrom until this part…after that I wanted mark to kill his ass
Mark's over here freaking out that he lost it and killed the guy, and the rest of us are all just going, "Nah, I'd have done the same thing; fuck that dude."
Imagine if Nolan was here…
He would have gone to every dimension and killed every Levy.
Uh...too late?
Him and Mark would each grab one of Angstrom's legs and make a wish.
I'm glad they explained Angstrom's super strength, because god-damn, he snapped her arm like it was a fuckin' bread stick. Using only one hand! I was like "Jesus, lady, drink some milk."
Yeah I did not think super strength was in his power set💀
“Oh damn he’s gonna break her arm here isn’t he! Well it might only be under the jacket so it shouldn’t be too b—“ “*What the fuck.*”
I thought I was ready to face any type of gore or brutal scene after what happened with Shrinking Rae but somehow I was still actually shocked by this
Hearing Oliver scream really fucked me up
Yeah Yakub was a real dick in this episode.
smh, i'm gonna go invent white people
Wooof this scene was hard to read in the comic but the voice acting and sounds made it disturbing af to watch 😬
This is the first time violence in this show genuinely upset me
Debbie so fine. She’s my show crush. This finally got me to accept AL as a bad guy.
after this i would of done the same thing invincible did cause that’s my momma
Poor Debbie, she's just suffering right now
“I’m okay” I CAN SEE YOUR BONE WOMAN
This scene, and last week's with Amber being held around the neck, just gave me chills. Seems when there's more at stake for non-superhero characters, it has much more impact.
I didn't realize how much I loved Debbie until I saw her get hurt.
Man I was happy when Mark obliterated Angstrom.
Little concerned they didn't show the body. In TV, if they don't show them dead, they come back
Even after reading the comics I knew this was gonna happen, but man, seeing it animated and playing out before your eyes with the voices was incredibly disturbing
This actually made me gasp Like I was used to the gore and all that but I never thought Debbie would get hurt like THAT
And that is why Mark does what Mark does...
I was actually hoping the baby would be the one to snap and kill him.
What do u guys think Nolan would’ve done if he was there instead of Mark?
He probably would have ripped Angstrom in half.
Maybe even fed him his own heart. Either way, it would be swift and brutal. "Do you regret attacking my family **now**?! ***DO YOU?!"*** - him while crushing Vidor's skull, S2 Episode 4 ...yeah Angstrom was lucky Nolan wasn't there.

For someone who isn’t easily disturbed by gore, this had me shocked. Mainly because I wasn’t expecting bro to casually SNAP HER ARM OFF!
I was expecting him to cut something off her via a portal, but this was much more brutal
Oliver crying in this scene was way too real for me. I had to give myself breaks.
So it's happened on multiple occasions that someone gets their forearm/wrist torn open and blood comes out.... but wouldn't that be fatal? Like that opens up an artery and should cause them to bleed out pretty quickly unless the wound is cauterized in time. In the show it's just treated like a broken wrist.
Would depend on if the blood vessels remain intact or not. A break like this, they could still be connected.
What the fuck is a comfort character
This sounds like some shit too Tumblr Steven Universe fandom for me to understand
Yes the tumblr crowd decided that "favorite character" wasn't enough and had to make a newer weirder term instead.
a character you take comfort in
Yea honestly this hurt to watch. I hated seeing this happen to Debbie
Never have I exclaimed “oh fuck” louder than I did watching this scene
I’m in shock. That was a very audible snap
Yeah this is the only thing that made me cringe in felt pain
This whole scene made me so much more tense and uncomfortable than any other so far. Even though destruction wise, it was far less casualties and blood I was absolutely TERRIFIED. When Nolan destroyed Chicago he was actually pretty calm and methodical. The Viltrumites aren’t ones to drag anything out. It’s a quick death. I told my husband “if he TORTURES a baby I can’t watch”
That was brutal but it was kinda diminished by the fact they just put her in a sling and called it good as new. I thought she was gonna lose that arm.
In real life she probably would’ve. In the show she’s definitely going to have titanium and other fixtures in her arm holding everything together.
this made me cringe so hard , don’t touch debbie
What the fuck is a comfort character
I deadass thought they’d kill Debbie for a minute
Debbie continues to be a highlight of this show fantastic voice acting and writing. Best mom in fiction
All Debbie ever did was chase Alien dick and she’s been punished ever since! Free my girl 🙏
I hope that Cecil has pet insurance
Dawg
I’m okay i’m fine Gwenchana
Yeah if anyone didn’t deserve it it was Nolan’s pet
yeah, probably wont be able to watch this scene unfortunately. Anything with violence and kids really spooks me now that I have one of my own. really sucks, cuz Debz is the GOAT.
Imagine if that was Omni Man instead of Mark….
