Obviously references to other comics are gonna be right out, so no Savage Dragon, Wolf Corps, Brit, etc. But what else do you think doesn’t make the cut, either because it hasn’t aged well or just no space for it?

Personally I can’t see them doing the Amber abuse plot. I don’t think audiences will want to see it and once she’s written off it’s easier to just keep her written off.

Likewise, I wonder how they will handle Eve’s weight gain. They wait it was done in the comics felt very fat-phobic and its one of the things that’s really aged poorly.

Finally, and this one might be controversial, I can see Invincible Inc getting axed. I works in the comics, where you cam get away with a bit more storyline whiplash, but I wonder if the tonal shift us going to feel too abrupt for normal viewers.

Thoughts? What do you think gets left behind and why?

    I agree, always felt like they’d leave out amber getting hit. I’m curious about eve’s weight gain, I think it’s actually handled quite well in the comics but I could see it going either way

    I imagine they’ll leave out quite so many sexual jokes with Debbie and Nolan as it goes later

    It seems like Alan’s gf is going to be more of a character than in the comics, going off of todays preview. A lot of the women in Invincible are really just reduced to sex machines…

    >fat-phobic

    The mindset that health is somehow bigotry is EXACTLY the reason we need more shows dealing with losing weight.

    Overweight people should not be deluded into believing they are healthy at any size. When I was fat I needed a wakeup call to tell me that I needed to change, and I am glad that I did. I completely forgot what it was like to be able to walk to the grocery store without keeling over in exhaustion just outside of my driveway.

    I just wonder if they’re gonna actually do the Spider-Man crossover. Could be a fun way to wed the multiverse concepts that both comics have

    I feel like Mark getting r*ped will be changed. Or rather I’d like it to be changed

    The Amber thing was bad and I hope it doesn’t show up again.

    The other thing I really pray they write around is Nolan and Debbie getting back together. It’s utterly horrendous in the comic and completely unbelievable. Kirkman barely even tried to sell Debbie forgiving Nolan let alone coming to trust him again. It’s gross and weird that she goes back to such an awful person after everything he did to her with barely any justification for it. It feels especially rushed because Debbie was happy in a new relationship and that basically ends offscreen in a single panel with no explanation. Just badly written, conceptually wrong and totally unnecessary all around.

    Who owns Tech Jacket? He’s pretty important to the Viltrumite war so Amazon just needs to pay whoever made him to out him in. Also, I hope they keep the part where Bulletproof kills his parents. I really liked that story.

    The only time Eve’s weight gain was looked at in a negative light, aside from self-image issues on her parts, where from like Kate, who was very clearly being an asshole.
