    The scene after Nolan was captured really stuck with me on why he's such an intriguing character. Hearing him actually admit that deep down he did truly care for the Guardians of the Globe as his friends was really sad when you consider how much he constantly tried to push those feelings down. Nolan's betrayal not only lead to devastating consequences for his family, but also genuine friendships he built with the people around him despite him never fully admitting it. It shows that his murder of the Guardians did affect him and as much as he tried to deny it, it was really hard for him to do when he finally reached his breaking point of all the betrayals he committed in his final battle with Mark.

    • @ApexGale
      @ApexGale Před 7 měsíci +92

      You can kind of see it in the show, how he never denies that they were his friends when Cecil confronts him. He says they were weak, but never disputes it. And when Cecil admits that he feels just as betrayed as Debbie, Nolan's face softens a little bit. As though he were genuinely surprised a man like Cecil, wary and closed off, considered him a friend. Cecil even says "I know you didn't do it for the hell of it. Want to get it off your chest?" Nolan hesitates for a bit, before continuing his attack.
      Nolan's idea of mercy is to do it quickly, so that they aren't brutally accosted by Viltrumite forces and fight a doomed battle.

      It makes him a very compelling antagonist, and shows the ultimate failure of the Viltrumite Empire. It's a surprisingly humanist message, that even the most devoted vultrumite such as Nolan can suscept to his love and attachments to the point where it outweighs his devotion to conquering Earth.

      Take it like this, sure he knew of some of the major threats beforehand, but considering the fact that most of them were dealt with in his original timeline then it doesn't make sense to fight them again.
      For example, even if he knew about his father's motives, he still nearly died trying to fight and reason with him. What's to say he won't die trying to do the same for the rest of his enemies?
      Also, he wouldn't be able to reform the relationship with Eve again, there's too much chance for a relationship to form and even if he had, other factors based on chance and or circumstances like them having their daughter might not occur again, despite his prior experience and knowledge, that wouldn't help him.

      Was it ever explained why Mark couldn't have just... had his family again in this better timeline? Like this isn't a Spiderman situation, he lost his family yes, but he prevented thousands of heartbreaks that he and millions of others would've experienced, and he still has years to fall in love with Eve again, or hell, find someone else to fall in love with and have a family with.
      A family, mind you, that won't be constantly put under threat from outside forces, and will be able to experience greater peace and happiness because now the Earth doesn't need Invincible on call to prevent that week's invasion/apocalypse.
      I won't lie, I would've responded the exact same way the alien did. He got given a chance to fix everything, to undo so many tragedies, but then threw it away for what feels like a really petty and minor reason. "I'd rather sacrifice thousands of families, earth's future, and the happiness of my own parents and friends, because I'm afraid I won't have a wife and daughter in this reality.'
      Just... wow. And on top of this, this does also technically mean that everything that happens going forwards is what Mark chose. He chose to go through all the tragedies and stuff that awaits him in the future. He won't have people like the Guardians of the Globe to help him with them. He'll have to once again face them with little support and put his life on the line again. And risk dying, again. Just because he wanted to see his daughter, again.
      You could say it's 'the power of love' or whatnot, but it genuinely just feels foolish and illogical. His daughter means more to him than the Guardians, than his parents, than his friends. All of his friends. Ones who wouldn't have died or been made to suffer in this timeline. Hell, even Eve herself would've had a far better life in this version, so in that regard, he's committing the greatest sin. He'd rather she suffers and be his wife, than be happy and POSSIBLY not want to be his girlfriend.
      I'm sorry but... I think if you truly loved someone, you'd want them to be happy, even if they're not with you.

      @@ForgottenFafnir I guess its more that the author failed to show the repercussions on Marks mental side.
      To tell someone to fall in love again after being a widow is harsh, not to mention giving him the choice to return also means if he has to choose to kill his actual daughter & everyone else from his past timeline.
      Compare this alien's outlook to what Omniman initially said to Mark when the truth happened that left Mark bloody on the ground.
      And see how easily it mixes, and such a decision would be the same as what Viltrum did with their great purge.
      (snipping a few parts cuz I can't remember it all)
      That's why we're here...
      To keep them from falling into the worse timeline
      To show them how wrong they all are.
      How pointless all their actions are.
      And that they can be apart of something bigger
      Or Die.
      What's 17 more years.
      You can always start again
      Make another kid.
      Why did you make me do this.
      You're denying this so you can watch everyone around you die.
      Think Mark Think.
      What will you have after 500 years.
      The answer would be everything good and bad that happened to him in the bad timeline, including his friends, his daughter, his wife, his brother and so on that lived every waking second of his past life beside him shoulder to shoulder and comforting him. He'd have fellow companions as a human, not devout listeners to a god.
      This honestly is too cruel of a decision and I'm not even diving into the loads of other issues that Mark would encounter of having a time shift. Aka Chaos/Butterfly Theory.

    • @TheRealRightPrice
      @TheRealRightPrice Před 7 měsíci +33

      As far as we know he was genuinely sent into the past. Evidence against him simply being trapped in an illusion/simulation for five years includes:
      1) He didn't experience 5 years of time passing in the past, only a few weeks or months.
      2) When he awoke on the alien planet afterwards he hadn't grown any facial hair, which would have happened if his body was just lying unconscious on the cave floor for a prolonged period of time. This happened when he spent months in a coma healing after having his guts torn out by Conquest.
      3) Mark would have died of dehydration and starvation if his body had been lying in the cave unattended for 5 years while his mind was trapped in an illusion/simulation. Viltrumites still need to eat and drink to survive. When he was in a months long coma after getting his guts torn out by Conquest, his father and brother fed him the juices and blood of alien wildlife to keep him alive.

    I mean, I'd be tempted to push the boundaries of the scenario it put him in. Try to go somewhere he "isn't" supposed to be and get involved in something he "isn't" supposed to be involved in. Something it couldn't just dredge up from his memories. See if the story remains coherent or if it's a simulation that breaks down once he wanders outside of people, places and events that would already exist in his memories.
    I'd start there before firmly deciding anything.

      the nuclear family is a broken model for child-rearing. we say “it takes a village to raise a child,” because it does. but the global economy has atomized our lives into these tiny, two-parent homes. you think ONE man and ONE woman raising a child is good enough? that all they need is a guy and a girl and they’ll be perfectly fine?
      it’s a false dichotomy- drawing a line between “has a father” and “fatherless” as if “fatherhood” in its modern context is a natural state of being.
      children need MORE attention than just two people can give. faith in the nuclear family is faith in a system which inherently exhausts itself. it doesn’t really mean anything to say “a kid needs a father,” because the modern context of fatherhood is completely divorced from the actual attentive needs of a child.
      this is way more nuanced than “a baby needs a mommy and a daddy,” and i really think people who emphasize the importance of a dad so much are kinda just taking a roundabout path to justifying homophobia. i’ve heard people say “the biggest problem we are facing today is the fatherlessness epidemic” and it just blows my mind. fatherlessness is a symptom of a broken system, not the cause of one. whatever.

      I respectfully disagree but I understand that everyone has their own taste so good for you.
      I don't understand the whole blaming Mark for selfishly choosing his wife and in the kid in the original timeline over starting over in the alternate timeline and saving millions acting like he did something bad in the original timeline so therefore the alternate timeline is to teach him a lesson and you may argue that this wasn't the case and instead the tentacle thing wanted him to correct the timeline and live in better timeline but the fact that he consciously chose to reject the alternate timeline despite the unforeseen consequences it could have on the universe just to see his wife and kid makes him selfish I dunno I'm 50/50 on that as you could also say he shouldn't be ashamed for his own satisfaction and how the hell he was supposed to know about this whole restoring universe crisis beforehand and why did the creature did not know how much he loved his wife so of course he would choose the timeline in her in it over saving millions unless he was just too rash and if had some time he would have chosen the alternate timeline.
      I feel like this one whole thing is just a way for the writers to blame Mark for going after what he wants but I argue that's the beauty and what makes him human and the whole point of invincible is to take us out of the norm in what what normally predict would happen in heroic tv shows like this like Omni Man lied to lots of people about killing the guardians of the globe and being a hero and turnt the show from a generic sappy superhero show to an edy bloodfest that subverted expectations in how we think someone is good until they show otherwise and how it's okay for superhero shows to kick ass even with gore and to balance it out with some good generic superhero moments here and there and I know you may say it's been done before with the The Boys and Punisher Tv show but I feel the self awareness and the uniqueness of this show really helps sell to us to this expectation, surprise us and enjoy it even when it's been done before and feel like it's the same here subverting our expectations that Mark is a perfect superhero who will do what's right which is saving the universe but instead shows he is a flawed human being who will sometimes not always do what's right and if anything sometimes it's okay to put your needs first and the doing what's for the greater good may not be as good as it seems on the surface level.

    This is weird to say, but... Mark didn't end the cycle of violence. Nolan did, or more accurately, Debbie ended the violence. Even in the original timeline with the train scene.
    It's hard to say when exactly this happened, probably offscreen and not all at once. The ideals seeded in Mark from a young age through the love of his father and his idea of him as a superhero that would eventually change Nolan's mind were instilled in a young Mark by a genuinely loving father. Nolan was only able to love Mark this way because of Debbie.
    But that's weird, isn't it? Nolan would change Mark's mind about violence without even knowing it. Even though Nolan himself would take decades to catch up.

    So...I know I'm probably in the wrong here but I had always thought the time travel aspect was just an illusion that this alien creature projected into Mark's mind to have him slowly feeding upon him and it took five years for Mark to finally break free of the alien's control. Basically, he never actually time traveled and it was all just to placate him into sustaining this alien creature for thousands of years. Just my two cents though.

      That’s kinda what I was thinking. Even the inhabitants of the planet warned him about the cave which tells me they knew about the creature. And the fact that this creature can now appear to him in the new timeline felt off to me. If this was time travel, why could the alien communicate with him in his room. Gives me the vibe the if he stayed, he’d be forever connected to the creature and this “timeline” For all we know, everything is still going on as normal in the original timeline and the alien is just a strong telepath.

    Just fyi since people tend to struggle with this sort of thing: don't think about the creatures time travel powers too much or what it is. If the writers know what they're doing it won't show up ever again. It's a really common time travel trope that was inevitably going to fill an episode/issue. Thing shouldn't come back and talking about the implications of it's powers shouldn't hold any weight.

      @armandvega2752 Před 9 měsíci +200

      That’s the point. The author of invincible wanted to subvert the classic superhero trope of the hero being a selfless paragon of virtue. Every time a hero faces an alternate reality like this (Superman, Batman, Hulk, Spider-Man, and many others) they have to sacrifice their happiness for the greater good. Mark does the opposite. He chooses to be selfish. He holds on to his daughter and dooms all of those people to die. Was it was a dick move? Yeah. It was. But it’s an excellent plot twist and subversion of our expectations. And through this decision, Mark develops the nerve necessary to defeat Thragg and redeem the Viltrimite Empire. This makes him a more morally ambiguous character, but that development is what allows him to become a great leader. It’s what convinces him to spare Robot at the end of the story. It’s what ultimately makes Mark such a great character.
      Throughout the story Mark struggles with the moral challenges of being a hero.
      Never killing
      Always doing the moral thing no matter how detrimental
      Always sacrificing and never getting what he truly wants.
      The point of Invincible going back in time is to show that heroes aren’t Gods. Heroes are just people. People make mistakes, are selfish, and often do the wrong thing over the right thing.
      That fits Mark to a T. He isn’t a hero he’s just a guy. He had a choice between saving the Billions who died or saving his daughter and Mark chose his daughter.

  • @GravityK-b
    @GravityK-b Před 2 měsíci +3

    Largely disappointed in what could have been a great story in Invincible that instead ended up going nowhere as while this new timeline that this blue creature offered mark showed the better timeline he created was good and all and saved millions ultimately he wasn't selfish to choose the original timeline over this one even if the other one resulted in better results for everyone and potentially for more happiness for Mark, saving millions and correcting balance in the universe as yes he was not in the wrong to do so just to see his wife and original kid as those were in his original timeline and the one he knew best as he had close ties with these people.
    Some common objections to this would be.
    A. Why would he choose the original timeline when in the new timeline he could just marry Eve again and have a kid but this wouldn't be the same Eve and the kid would be different.
    B. His destroying millions of lives and the whole timeline and unsettling the whole balance of things just to see his wife and kid again yes it may seem it's a bad decision but don't forget she's someone he's close with and why put the heavy responsibility of something like this on someone who wants to live a happy life as the argument could also be made he's screwing with his personal happiness just to save this alternate universe it's difficult to say but I'm on the table on this one as selfless altruism for all of existence or putting your personal happiness first even over the whole universe but depends if the stakes of destroying reality are too big maybe he should take the selfless route but if there is an option for him to find personal happiness without the stakes being too severe I would see the case for him taking it so I find validity in both arguments but this is a big debate anyways and hopefully it gets solved in the future.
    C. What if did indeed this alternate timeline was actually the original and the creature sent him fives years into the future to so much he screwed the original by choosing back to the original just under different circumstances with huge consequences and I would argue there was no way he could know if the alternate was actually the original and even if he did screw it up I believe it was his choice to make as he already had a life in the original expect with different circumstances besides the original life he had wasn't so bad that the whole universe collapsed and the original one could have been made better and so what he has done can be seen as negative but I don't see as objectively wrong as the original with different circumstances offered better objective happiness him so I guess I see the case for his own well-being even over the whole universe but again I'm on the fence on this one as well as the arguments could go both ways.
    Overall I believe there are way too many contradictions and plot holes with this story and I largely understand the arguments for Mark wanting to see his wife and kids and just for the original to be the way it was but I see this story being inspired by the trolley problem and would go back in time to destroy Hitler to save millions or keep keep the things the way they are with both negative and positive consequences so again saving the universe/going back time to create a better timeline or putting personal happiness first/keeping things the way they are or have half putting your happiness first and half saving the universe or finding a way to save the universe and have your personal happiness or go to a different universe altogether to avoid this mess or realize reality is self correcting so it's impossible for negative timeline to destroy it because if reality doesn't exist because of the negative timeline neither will the negative alternate timeline thus reality will always exist and no negative timeline can destroy it and maybe all of this is just something beyond our comprehension in the grand of schemes so nature knows best and let things be the way they are.
    To quote the Mauler twin who poisoned King Mauler after he found out he was the original and he was just the clone and being made into a slave and felt inferior so he wanted to even the score said after poisoning King Mauler "Sometimes Things Are The Way They Are For A Good F#cking Reason"
    I hope this story isn't adapted into the Invincible Tv show and removed from the Invincible comics universe and instead replaced with a better story.
    Love to hear your thoughts on the whole saving the universe or putting your personal happiness first as there cases for both and maybe the debate can be settled some time along the line with answers for both or make a more valid case for personal happiness who knows.

      The issue with time travel is how it sometimes make mortality and morality hard to feel for.
      If you time traveler to save someone...that's somewhat noble...but in some cases...isn't it just a form of escapism for some. To make a world you want where the bad things never happened.
      I always find it weird because in this story it's like Mark gets a potential better world but is brought down by the realization that it's not his.
      This wasn't his real life. It was his do over. All his consequences and all the things that he faced...are removed. It's like saying he cheated in a sense.
