No, absolutely not.
Not even a little bit
The themes are a lot more appropriate to a teen/YA audience than young children who might find them confusing or hard to understand. This is Reddit, so people have naturally jumped to stuff like sexual assault and genocide, but even if we exclude those as “acts of violence” there’s stuff like Mark learning his father isn’t who he says he is, Mark’s family breaking up as a result, and Debbie abusing alcohol to cope. There’s teen stuff like Rex cheating on Eve and Kate cheating on Rex, and Mark having to discover that his relationship with his high school girlfriend isn’t something that’s meant to last forever. These are good (maybe even important) themes for a teen reader, but younger kids aren’t going to be in a place to appreciate them.
I don’t think the story/themes/lessons of Invincible can exist sans violence and swearing without being a different fucking story
It’s weird since it’s in a high school setting, so things kids could relate to, but then the interactions are so dark. I think for certain kids who’ve gone through trauma already it could be therapeutic. Often times being surrounded by stories and people you can’t relate to can be depressing, so having something or someone you can relate to is helpful. I’m sure a lot of people have parents who talk and think like Omni-Man does in his fight with Mark i.e. shifting the blame of their actions to others especially their loved ones, framing their own selfish needs as selfless, being completely inconsiderate to their loved ones, framing their abuse as necessary etc… Ultimately because a lot of the interactions are so real, so non-ideal, I think people could relate better, which is a plus, the downside of course are the mature themes that make it so dark.
Doesn’t matter. Invincible isn’t meant for young children anyway.
Not at all lmao
the only lesson from the comics that I think could be suitable for children is to not place your idols on a pedestal
Fuck no
Yeah, Life fucking sucks.
No
Yes kids will learn to appreciate love and family
