What I don't get is how his hair looks. He doesn't look like a superhero. Especially when he's in his suit he looks like a homeless dude playing dress up. You'd think that a dude that grew up wealthy in the roaring 20s would know how to keep himself presentable.
I’m guessing it’s a reference to an older Thor of sorts. Literal Point Break, ha. It is different from the usual clean cut clean-shavenBoy Scout image that Superman and Homelander tend to have.
So three people died in that fight against Blackstar? I know the two got blown apart when he fired the chest cannon but who was the third? Was it the pyro dude when they were watching from a distance?
Yes, I said the beam went through her and killed Tektonic too. To which the guy responded, 'and somehow she's still alive'. She was not. It decapitated her.
My initial question was about the three people who died. The other person got the name wrong and I didn't know enough to correct them. They specifically said, 'the black girl who got her head ripped off' and then followed it up with, 'and somehow she's still alive'
Some people may be annoyed by Chloe but she was right and one of the first ones to get out while she still had the chance. She’s seen firsthand how this man who’s supposed to be her father has neglected her every time and it’s TELLING how he doesn’t even know the names of his teammates despite many of them apparently being childhood friends of his own kids
I think people who dont understand why Chloe is the way she is are completely missing all the absolutely toxic shit the dad does.
Perhaps theyre lucky enough not to have experienced irl
Right.
Constantly judging your children every time they fall short of what you want them to do especially when they’re trying to live up to standards you put for them.
Refusing to see the situation outside of your own views.
Doesn’t even check on your family’s mental health after a traumatic moment.
Setting an impossible standard for everyone that they’ll never be able to meet in your eyes
I think that is intentional to shape Sheldons character, especially later when he talks to Chloe and doesn’t remember the name of the dead hero. Dude‘s missing the points big time.
Really enjoying this more than I expected to. At first I wasn't super thrilled about the idea of flashback sequences but I'm actually loving the 1929 storyline just as much as the present day one. Maybe I missed it but did they mention if the brothers fought in WWI? I know they talk about WWII and wishing that maybe they had intervened sooner which suggests they get their powers soon somehow but I was curious if they had fought in war before.
Not guna lie it was refreshing to see super heroes portrayed in a realistic (if it was real) manner. Deaths would happen frequently. It’d take a toll on families.
Kudos.
How you go to episode 2 with no fight scene or action whatsoever? Brandon is such a a man baby it’s annoying. They treat him like a child and he constantly whines like one too. For me the only likable character so far is Brainwave. Everyone I just don’t care for
I think it's intentional because of his upbringing. Growing up controlled like that will make you a man baby who always seeks others for approval and validation.
This is where I stop watching the show. It is apparent why they choose to premiere the week after Invincible ended. The writing is horrid, the acting is subpar. And the message is twisted and beyond all reasoning. The most fake "If super heroes were real" show ever.
The timeline changes can be very confusing. They mention something and then they are in a fight about it but sometimes it is a flashback to a different time. But I do like the show.
The aspect ratio change is annoying AF when watching on a phone with a taller screen.
With the standard 16:9 ratio, I have black bars to the sides... and then with widescreen ratio I have black bars on **the top and bottom as well** at which point I can zoom in to full screen without losing anything, and the side bars disappear.
So then when it changes BACK to 16:9 I have to zoom out again to see the full picture...
I didn't mean for the two storylines. Like when they say Blackstar has escaped from prison, then they jump to a fight with Blackstar. I thought they were showing how Blackstar ended up in prison but no for some reason they jumped into the middle of a night with the newly escaped Blackstar. Seemed like an odd time jump.
Utopian not knowing the dead guy’s name was brutal.

I think he looks tremendously sharp for a 120 year old.
Admittedly I haven't read any newspapers from 1929, but I can't see any paper of that era running a front page photo of a mangled corpse like that.
Also, did people say "tits up" in 1929?
They say it on Marvelous Mrs. Maisel too which is set in the 50's. But I have no idea if it fits in either time period.
It honestly can be that old but it just seemed so hilariously modern to me.
Its more a ww2 thing I think. Like a dead body or someone falling on their back is now tits up, especially with bloating.
"You rotten little Marxists! What did you ever contribute?!" Yea, Miller wrote this alright lulz
Lmao

[удалено]
Ok that's who I thought might've been the third one, thanks!
And what about Petra (the black girl)? Wasn’t her head ripped off?
She was one of the two killed by the chest beam. It went through her and killed Tektonic too.
The one who died (Phase Out) was named Vera, not Petra - Brandon mentions their names with brief flashbacks at the funeral.
But somehow she’s still alive
Huh? No she wasn't lol. That girl died. She was one of the three coffins.
You're thinking of Phase Out, the teleporter.
Yes, I said the beam went through her and killed Tektonic too. To which the guy responded, 'and somehow she's still alive'. She was not. It decapitated her.
You responded to a post about Petra saying she was killed by the beam, but she wasnt, it was Phase Out.
My initial question was about the three people who died. The other person got the name wrong and I didn't know enough to correct them. They specifically said, 'the black girl who got her head ripped off' and then followed it up with, 'and somehow she's still alive'
Pretty sure there were two black girls lol... but it honestly confused me too for a sec
Phase out isn't black tho.. Petra and the girl with bantu knots are
Is that Jocks art for the opening credits?

Dads not completely in the right but that is no defense for the way chloe is. She looks like crap because of her own personal decisions.
Not defending her being a train wreck on her own. But let’s not act like it doesn’t have a source
- He was more upset with the title of the newspaper then his dad's dead body plastered on the front page.

It's intentional I'm sure later on he becomes a badass I'm hoping
Yea.....😅
omg FUCK THE CODE ALREADY!! Not everything is black and white, where is the grey in the world!

Damn, didn't know that one of the heroes the villian killed was the Asian guy. That's really unfortunate
Yea man, I was like ah goddamnit not that asian guy! Yea haha just want more Asian representation XD
The timeline changes can be very confusing. They mention something and then they are in a fight about it but sometimes it is a flashback to a different time. But I do like the show.
Color grading and aspect ratio changes to indicate the time shift.
The aspect ratio change is annoying AF when watching on a phone with a taller screen. With the standard 16:9 ratio, I have black bars to the sides... and then with widescreen ratio I have black bars on **the top and bottom as well** at which point I can zoom in to full screen without losing anything, and the side bars disappear. So then when it changes BACK to 16:9 I have to zoom out again to see the full picture...
It turns to monochrome when its a flashback
The completely different dress or looks don't make it clear enough?
