I’ve found myself rereading invincible once again. It is one of my favorite comicbooks ever, and with comicbooks being my favorite medium for fiction that means that it is one of my favorite works of fiction period. Yet I feel like the show so far is an improvement on those first 30 issues.

This show somehow the most faithful adaptation of a comicbook I’ve seen to date, whilst also scrambling the order of many many plot points and changing the dynamics of many characters. Amber and William have been reworked completely, yet I feel like they’ve only been improved. Cecil started working with Mark way earlier, and was actually involved in the battle against Nolan. Robot makes his new body way earlier. There is way more time between the murder of the Guardians and the fight against Nolan, some plot points happen way earlier. These changes are obviously made so that they can compress the story down a bit and give us more character building early on, But I feel that it has mostly worked out for the better so far.

      Honestly, I’m kinda noticed that. The voice acting was already really good to me, but for some reason it seems…better? I don’t know how to explain in a way it makes sense other than “room for improvement”.

        I think it helps that they’re not on quarantine anymore, so the actors can actually be in the booth instead of being isolated

        I think it’s a joke, as the thread is about what the show improved from the comic. The comics voice acting was lackluster imo, no real effort made at all

      I love the voice acting. It doesn’t feel hammy and over-the-top like a lot of other animated shows. It reminds me of the voice acting for the Spawn animated series.
