Oh really?
I actually kinda like how the OG guardians were a bit stronger in the show. I do think the dynamic between Invincible’s superior powers and Immortal’s fragile ego in the comic is very entertaining though, so I hope we get to see that eventually.
As someone reading the comics for the third time. I promise you that they get better, I like all of them, but if I were to compare, I would say the first 20 or so issues are a bit less engaging than what follows.
Word for word, bar for bar. It’s an adaptation made by the original creators and people who like the original work. A change I like from the newest episode is >!Nolan’s depression after betraying both his people and his family and Mark’s attitude against Nolan on Thraxa. I remember when I first read Invincible I found Mark’s lack of aggression a bit unrealistic.!<
I haven’t liked a comicbook adaptation this much since Spectacular Spider-Man. Though that is a whole different kinda adaptation. The cool thing about Invincible is that it is a continuous story, so it’s one of few adaptations that I can think of that doesn’t just make new stories with established mythos and characters.
It is true that they do cut a lot of cool stuff. That is the negative side of it being in this 8x45 minute format. Whilst I think the core characters and interactions between them do gain a lot from it, we do lose out on a lot of fun stuff.
