- In which this came out of nowhere, but what an incredible piece to get in between seasons 1 and 2 of Invincible.

I was going to post Mob today, but I figured since this was ready to go and is new, I might as well let it rip.
this green ghost is a dude
The opening theme song is funny and very catchy.
You should do a video on worm to get it more out there! More people need to read it!
So for the entirety of Invincible Season 1, Eve already knew that her “family” is not her actual family
Probably made it easier for her to walk away from them.
@@PopeDuwang
Easier to walk away from her “father”, could be a little hard to do it for her “mother” although she was still supportive in a way.
Yeah I love seeing these side or past things that really add context to a greater story in fictional works. Rewatching season 1 with this will really reinforce a lot of what we see from Eve. It also makes me feel even worse for Eve seeing how Rex treated their relationship. She went through so much shit and had a lot of trouble building genuine attachments with people, especially ones that knew about her powers. Being in a romantic relationship with someone that didn't mind her powers at all was probably a big deal for her and made her feel a lot better, but he took her for granted and treated her like trash. I already thought Rex was an asshole (albeit funny sometimes I must admit), this just makes me dislike him even more. Though knowing this makes me wish the writers had foreshadowed it a bit more. We didn't really see signs that she had this troubled of a past at all in season 1, which makes me wonder if they wrote it after writing season 1 (and I don't think it was even in the comics), so it does feel a tad bit out-of-nowhere for her to have one of the cruelest backstories in the series thus far. All we could gander was that she had parents that didn't accept her powers. Like I wouldn't expect her to just start having mental breakdowns out of nowhere because of it, but just, like, SOMETHING, you know.
@@TimeToGetAGoodLife
I haven’t seen the entire comic series, but I would like to believe that Rex wasn’t all that bad in the past.
Either way, I do know that he does get better later on after he learn a lesson when being the victim.
@@Zack_Zander I know a lot about the comics because I don't care about spoilers but I haven't read it myself either. Good to know.
8:48 - Green Ghost was originally a guy in the comics, so it looks like between this flashback and the present he gave his powers to a girl, since from what i remembered she transformed by swallowing a green orb,
this is from the wiki, it's just how she transformed:
Powers Via Crystal: Upon ingesting a small, jade colored amulet of unknown origin, the young woman who would become the Green Ghost would undergo a transformation altering her body's physical appearance, seemingly generating a green aura emanating from within her. The Green Ghost would revert to her human form after regurgitating the amulet she had ingested to trigger the initial transformation.
that aside, choreography in fights and fluidity in animation in general really went up this episode compared to last season, hopefully it keeps up on the actual season, this special was really good
I think they dropped this on purpose, to show us that the animation has been upgraded.
> from what i remembered she transformed by swallowing a green orb
For a sec I forgot about that pill thing she took to transform and imagened she just randomly was almost hit by an apple-sized green orb from space and immediately decided to swallow the whole thing...
The animation was shockingly good. Like, ngl, the combat in season 1 was surprisingly one of the weaker points, for me, even though it's largely an action show, with superheroes and all that. It absolutely wasn't bad by any stretch of the word, but it was really carried by the choreography and the way characters used their powers, the actual animation aspect of it was just kind of decent. If it weren't for the clever writing of the fight scenes, the fights would actually be kind of mediocre in my opinion. But the fight on the freeway with Eve and her siblings was genuinely phenomenal and got me HYPED for the next seasons, clearly they have had a major upgrade, probably due to budget. I mean, when you think about it, they didn't know if Invincible would be a major success, so they probably held back on the budget, but then season 1 came out and everyone fucking loved it to obsession, so of course, it would get a major boost for the future seasons. And I mean, it's AMAZON we're talking about, literally one of the richest companies in the entire world, so budget isn't a major problem.
But yeah, even the fight at the start with the Guardians seemed better than most of the fights in season 1, but even that didn't compare to the fight on the freeway, that was just incredible. From the animation to the choreography, which I must say, even that was improved.
Makes sense, the guardians are based off of the Justice League and multiple members are legacy heroes (Flash, Green Lantern, Batman sometimes)
Eve might just be the most badass character in the show. Thats what this special is showing me
Restricting it to just the show alone, I'd say yes to that. However, no spoilers, I think a character later on might take that spot from her, and it is a character we've seen a little bit of. Depends on how the show goes about them in comparison to the comics.
@TimeToGetAGoodLife furry is overrated
I think the reason Eve’s so immediately confident is because she’d already intently studied and memorized atomic and molecular structures for her whole childhood before she unlocked her philosopher’s stone. She basically already knows where all the subatomic particles need to end up to look like the thing she wants. And it’s not like there’s a shortage of protons, neutrons, or electrons.
Absolutely loved this special. Atom eve was one of my favorite characters in the first season but I felt she never really got enough time to shine. So it was really cool to see her origin.
So Eve's dad has always been a jerk, it wasn't just when she got her powers. I mean at least her mom tried.
Yeah i’ve never seen the comics but I only hope he dies and if he does or not don’t tell me spoilers
Yeah he just labeled her as a freak and didn’t even try to accept her, powers and all
@@christopherross8976 he’s the freak
@@christopherross8976
He labeled her as a freak before knowing she has power
Which is strange. It made more sense in the comics where they knew from the start she had powers.
Eve really went full Anodite there at the end.
Interesting that she made herself a treehouse at the end of S1.
1:00:15 I think he was about to kill them both so he could try again with another human. He only stopped because of the sliver of empathy inside him that had grown from his relationship to them. Great character.
Actually it’s more because he was content with his life on earth. He did love his family and most likely would’ve delayed Earth’s conquest until they passed. But with Mark getting his powers would mean for Nolan to reveal the truth
The struggle between his fascist conditioning and his mission vs what is probably the only happiness and fulfillment he's had in his life. And at that point, he didn't just retreat into fascist conditioning, although it was tempting.
@@thewandering01 Exactly. He's scared of himself, but he doesn't want to worry about these things. So much of him wants to forget about it all and prioritize his mission so he doesn't stop himself from his original objective before it's "too late", but he can't bring himself to do it because his life with Debbie and Mark has truly changed him into someone with compassion, understanding, and love. Sadly his mission mostly overrides that when he learns of Mark's powers, leading to his rampage in episode 8, but once again, the empathy that he learned from living on Earth was reignited for a brief moment by Mark's words, which stopped him, just barely, from doing something he would never stop regretting.
Its like omni man was ready to just off his family right there, and just go "make another kid". But his new inner human side kicked in and he was utterly ashamed of what he was considering to do.
This show is just goated. They even gave us that little bit of a scene and it had so much to unpack.
Eve always had this kind of potential. Her ability to heal human atoms will make even more plot sense to you later. For Omni-Man had Mark never shown any abilities he could have just waited and lived out a normal life span with Mark and Debbie. for him it would have just been like a long weekend . When Mark did get powers he had to move on his plans before Mark grew and decided to side against him with the Guardians.
This honestly blew me away. This story was great, the fight scenes were great, the voice acting was great as usual, everything was just great
Don't worry Eve you will have a family who accepts you for you
Yes, This is adapting a special comic side series, They had one for Rex too
pretty sure they had one for monster girl and Allen too right?
Are those in the 3 book collections? I just ordered the first one of those
Wonder if they'll do more special episodes for certain other characters. There are some, even in the comics, who could have had a more developed and in-depth backstory and I'd like to see more of. That said, overall liked this special, but I'm wondering why they made some of the changes, like Eve adopted parents not knowing that she had powers from the start (in the comics, they know immediatly, hence why they're afraid of Eve learning about it and putting herself in danger).
Also warning COMIC SPOILERS
Shark is so right on the whole "feel that Atom Eve hasn't tapped into her full potential yet".
@@soul6733Comic spoilers for up to season five?
I imagine we’re going to get a Rex, Monster Girl, and Cecil version of this episode if the show gets a whole run.
I honestly think they just wanted to double down on her parents being assholes lmao
I'm curious to see Rex's backstory since he keep saying it "sucked" over and over. I'm curious to know how much it sucked or if he's just saying that.
@@caseyp5861 I'd say season 4 but a reasonable guess.
X to doubt for Rex (probably gonna see his backstory in an episode, but just not on this level because he's simply not on the same level of importance as Eve), probably for Monster Girl, and I want to say definitely for Cecil because I love him but idk. All these characters just aren't as significant, and animation is expensive.
I loved this so much. Eve showed some absolute mastery over what she knwe about her powers. She managed to keep the citizens safe and the destruction to a minumun WHILE defeating the enemies AND dealing with the emotional pain. What an absolute badass.
"we haven't heard her talk yet either" literally 2 minutes ago she was talkin about molecules.
Really excited for S2, Atom Eve was amazing and can't wait to see her character in S2.
Glad to see ben 10 is finally giving Gwen her own special episode again.
RIP Lance Reddick, who voiced the general
We need a Teen Team special now. There's so much potential for an ensemble special exploring the origins of Rex and formation of the team.
I was mad for not getting mob , but this ... this is greatness, i almost forgot how good invincible episodes were
Same bro. Here 13 days late because I somewhat lost interest in Invincible (though not entirely) because it's been so long that I forgot that Invincible is amazing. This really reignited my interest in the series and I'm hyped for season 2. It adds so much depth to Eve's character as well that it will REALLY pay off seeing her again.
Fun fact: Black Samson in the comics was kicked out when he list his power
Green Ghost is a different one even in the comics there were two Green Ghosts
The big difference is the second one is Female in the show
Yeea, Eve is literally the goat.
She's definitely one of my favorite superheroes in media, lowkey
Understandable. I've never been a HUGE fan of superheroes, especially not the "big league" ones that are fighting universe destroying threats on a practically weekly basis. My favorite superhero was always Spiderman, I love the Spiderverse movies too.
@@TimeToGetAGoodLife Well, my favorites as a person that doesn't really read comics are also Spiderman cuz he just consistently great, and tbh, Ghost Rider. Idc if those old movies aren't great, they were my childhood and i still think he's one of the coldest things ever
can't believe someone would casually mention Worm outside of the deepest bowels of fanfic sites.
Man even as a mass murderer Omni man is still a better dad than Adam.
I can’t tell if Omni man was mad about his pet ordering him around or about the possibility of his son not having powers
Probably both
He was mad that Debbie wanted Mark to have powers, Omniman was happy living his pretend life until Mark and Debbie died, He didn't want him to have powers
@@jesusramirezromo2037 What if Mark had kids and grandkids
@@RAINBOWNIGTHMAREPRODUCTIONS You'll just have to wait and see
I think it was neither. It's up to interpretation really but I interpreted it as him being enraged at how ridiculous his son is. Omni-Man is a warrior whose boots have waded through the blood of thousands, a terrifying conqueror of worlds that was sent there to subjugate the planet under the rule of Viltrum, so to see his powerless son covering himself in duct-tape and pretending to be a "superhero" probably pissed him off. I don't think it had much to do with Debbie tbh.
the Invincible comics are really good idk if youve read them or if you plan to watch the show first but i definitely recommend them at some point!
Atom Eve is awesome and this special was too.
Kinda unrelated, but Amber is a good well written character with what I would call a writing oversight in episode 7 that contradicts with her emotional breakup in episode six in a way that makes her look terrible, no matter how you try to interpret it while the narrative implies she's done nothing wrong.
I firmly believe the issue can largely be resolved by changing two words during her reaction, after Mark reveals his identity.
Original line: "I *already know* that you're a super hero."
Change it to "I *don't care* that you're a super hero."
I was not ready for Shark to get around to this so soon!
Eve's "brother" looks like Edward Elrick.
and her other brothers look like ed... ward...
@@wabbajocky8235 and they have similar powers lol.
Watched it as soon as it dropped
More hyped for season 2
45:54 yo what the fuck
bro she is literally 12
your comment is probably a joke but i think shark was using sexy as a synonym for cool
I REALLY 😬🤞hope the they do Rex Backstory some time soon. As someone from the comic i really liked how they portrayed him and his relationship with everyone on the team.
"ONE mistake or BAD decition you made DOESN'T defind the kind of person you're Going to be in the Long Run"
In season 1 we have seen her heal herself many times so she definitely knows how to modify living tissue
All this teams dumped onto her as a kid! Guess she’s stronger mentally than we give her credit for!
Looking forward to your season 2 reaction
42:47 that and the boys
51:12 this part gave me Steven universe the movie Vibes
I don't know why I didn't watch this four months ago, it was amazing, Atom Eve's powers are my top one favorite, I mean, I was thinking of that kind of power since that episode of Rick and Morty where we see Fart, who can modify elements by their particles and all, but Eve's far from that, I love her powers and how she wants to do things that, as she said, matters
Eve was definitely born to be a heroine
I haven't even seen this yet, guess I'll watch it for the first time with you!
I haven't heard of this until now. I guess I'll watch it for the first time with you.
its amazing!
Also bro Omni man is in mortal kombat 1 like what totally a wtf and this a nice one to
Him and homelander
@@monsterking1973 yes
man this was straight heat
Yeah green ghost is like green lantern he eats a gem to get his powers so anyone can use it the one in episode 1 was a different one
Really good episode
8:36 the realest thing you’ve ever said lmao
WELL THAT WAS WILD
Eve's powers are basically Fullmetal Alchemist, with Philosophers Stones turned on.
love it, glad to see it!
I can't believe you've read Worm! By any chance, have you tried The Wandering Inn?
Gwen Tennyson was redesigned in alienforce to mimic Atom Eve actually
i just realized while watching this that atom eves mom is voiced by the actress that voices daphne in scooby doo!!
I think she also voices Monster Girl.
Idk if this is obvious or not but I feel like Rudolph was one of those experiments
Didn't even know this came out whaaaat
It came out on Friday I think, it's brand new.
Lol same
Holy shit is this a good episode.
Your video is how I found out that this even came out. Did they advertise it at all?
I got a notification on Amazon prime phone app like the day before. I don't think they did any advertising at all
14:23
You’re not wrong there
Bro thought we wouldn't notice the box of Booty-o's in the corner 😭
(At 24:44) I have a word for that… "transmutation"
It's really messed up when you realize the Phase 2 was eleven or twelve at most. And phase 5 was a little girl, nine at the most when she fell apart on the highway.
"Is that a different Green Ghost" It's hard to tell. I mean there are very little difference in their body type and voice. But just slightly
42:48 not quite X-Men, more The Boys
can't believe this all happened while she was like. 13.
Zoom in on iPhone and you can basically watch it full screen.
49:55 damn man i almost teared up what a speech!
also does any1 know the name of that ost?
Also you could do a play through of mk1 if you want
Can you post a link to where we can watch this.
A lot of this was inspired by avatar the last airbender avatar state lol
I've never seen eve's special wtf :0
it's beautiful
They stole that “fall back and form a perimeter” joke from captain America in avengers 1
So do you think Eve let those dogs out or...?
I hope she did.
Did you do the invincible title screen with the whole season too? Because that was genius😂
He did lol
........so are Invader Zim and Utena just...... cancelled or something? Like what the hell happened?
Well everything is in rotation so far with exemption of this and Helluva Boss which are special exceptions.
....................................why are.......... you...............talking in.........................morse code.................or some shit................................
His rotation is on the channel about page if you ever lose track
How can you post full unedited reactions without getting striked? Not complaining just, a little worried about your channel. I appreciate you don't keep your reactions behind a paywall like other reaction channels. Keep doing what you love.
a paywall to view their reaction to content that other people made? that sounds dumb.
@@wabbajocky8235 I know right, but it's a thing the majority of reaction channels do on CZcams. I'm interested in blind commentary but I'm not desperate enough to pay for a grown adult to watch cartoons (no matter how good it's written) not after witnessing a poorly edited version of it on CZcams. Kickassreaction and Flaming Shark are the few that don't make their reaction exclusive to patreon (which I sort of respect)
The Shark always rises from the ashes.
This guy was over 250k before his channel got deleted I think the third time?
@@SebastienGendron-uk4po What do you mean by a poorly edited version on CZcams? Who was the reactor and what were they watching? How was it poorly edited? I'm just wondering.
@@kylesmyle4233 By ''poorly edited'' I meant it in the context of how they edit certain scenes that are not relevant and could easily be cut, the rest that stays unedited are boring commentary (which shouldn't be). Is for which reaction video I can't say exactly but they tend to be group reactions (consisting of 3 or more people talking over each other) or stream reactions where the reactor is constantly distracted by live comments or donations while they talk over the video. This type of reaction CZcamsrs not only constantly pause it every d*mn second but also expect Patreon money shows that they leech off of. At least flaming shark and Kickassreaction have archive websites where their audience can watch their videos for free. What truly confuses me is how Flaming Shark can post full unedited shows on CZcams without getting strikes.
19:54
I actually agree that Amber is underrated and overhated. She just wanted a relationship but all she got was a guy who refused to trust her, ghosted her constantly, and lied to her face every single day.
Eve even called out Mark for leading Amber on for half a year.
@michaelcarlton1484
so your fully team amber?
@@chongwillson972 The only bad thing Amber did was get verbally upset at the wrong time. Everything else was absolutely Mark's fault since he basically gaslit her into thinking he was finally going to commit and live his life with her in college and after.
@@michaelcarlton1484Mark doesn’t owe her all his secrets just because they’re in a relationship. They only dated for like five months and trust takes time to build. Expecting full and total openness from a partner who’s not comfortable sharing touchy personal information yet is an entitled toxic mindset and shows that you aren’t a person deserving of that trust. And if the relationship isn’t moving fast enough for you, you have every right to leave or talk about it. Plus she straight up lied to him in saying “you left us” since she already knew he was invincible. If she knew he was invincible for so long why did she not confront him about it? The mature thing to do would be to talk it out, but no she let her feelings bottle instead of communicating. I’m not saying this is bad characterization, but the show trying to pretend like Amber did nothing wrong is insane and harmful.
@@mouseonthestreets8675 Mark literally said he wanted to be college sweethearts with Amber. That's as close as a proposal a teenager can make. Especially with the context of them building their lives together. He basically made her think that he was finally going to be serious about their relationship and treat her as an equal. Amber had been putting aside her own time and energy to invest in the relationship whereas Mark was treating the entire thing as just secondary or only part of his life. Amber wanted a real relationship, realized that it wasn't perfect, and then waited patiently for months for Mark to commit. Then he finally says a bunch of stuff that makes it seem like he trusts her only to immediately lie to her again.
Again, Eve literally told Mark that if he was serious with Amber, he should have told her sooner, because otherwise he was just stringing her along in a toxic relationship.
Amber spent so much time and energy on Mark, but he didn't do the same. Yes, he is a hero, so time-constraints are there, but he still could have done SOMETHING to make the relationship work other than just lying all the time. He basically never talked to her about anything deep whereas she did. The most he ever did was talk about hobbies like comics.
Being in a relationship where you have to do all of the work is exhausting, but at the same time, you want all of that investment to work out. That's the only reason I can see why Amber even bothered staying with Mark. That and Eve claiming something similar to 'he's one of the good ones'.
I DO have issue with the mom, while the dad IS infinitely worse, the mom is still awful. Yeah she eventually started to be better but it was too late.
Eve ditching them was the right choice. They don’t deserve her, and thankfully she gets a happy ending in the comics.
Exactly. The dad is just straight up the worst, but the mom... She does try at least, but she should really take her own advice from time to time "I wish you'd try harder sometimes!" Neither of them really understand Eve, and in his case, don't even seem to care to try to at all, and being better than that is NOT a high bar to clear.
45:54 she's 13..
I'm actually starting to wonder if her dad suspects his wife had an affair. Because the hair color *isn't* right. Eve is a green eyed redhead, and her parents are both brunettes. Makes sense when you know her real parentage, but to her dad, who thinks he was present at her birth, it's gotta seem sus.
when Attack On Titan?
Oh? What's this?
Yesterday they released this special about Eve but they also revealed the release date for season 2 of invincible
@@monsterking1973 Oh damn, first part of season 2 is being released just 1 day after my birthday.
RWBY soon?
you don't think helluva boss is their main show?
Huh?
Oh and to think it only gets worse from here
Is this the Autistic dude from Clerks II?
45:54 ??????dawg choose better words
Yeah he’s a bit sus with his words
Bout of you are weirdos, he was talking about the movement she was doing.
Lol omfg, after Black Samson lost his powers, I guess the Guardians had to bring in Dark Wing as their new diversity hire 😂🤣
Edit: goddammit never mind, there goes my joke 😭
See, thats how you write a female superhero.
Marvel should take some notes. Peace ✌🏻
mfer what
@zzeroara9511
A character with personality, faults, and personal challenges that she must go through in order to fufill a character arc.
Dislike cuz you aren't really blind
I get that she can rearrange atoms and from her comment of being able to move electrons she can probably just control all elementary particles in general like quarks and shit, but WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PINK SHIT?? is it supposed to be some weird photon substance? or some non existent material she creates from quarks or something? It can be anything JUST EXPLAIN IT AAAAAHHH
I would probably assume that it’s the way her subconscious manifests her abilities bc it’s her favorite color, so when she uses the light energy to make her fly and other stuff it comes out pink. But that’s my assumption.
Maybe it's that mystery molecule she made out Legos 😂
@@joryantoine2415 my problem isn't the pink color, but the substance's nature, what is it made out of, what particle? It may even be "light energy" as in photons, that is one of the possibilities I stated, but it's never explained
This special was nice but it felt incredibly rushed...
They rly tried to fit in a little too much in this short time.
Bro what? How was it rushed? It was over an hour long so idk what you mean by them trying to fit in too much.
Calling a one hour episode rushed is crazy 💀
Dont be weird, talking about it sexy. 1 Its an animation and 2 its a kid doing it... yikes
