While the Boys series have improveda lot from the awful comics. The Boys shows is still based on a comicbook run that was basically a hit piece on superheroes (so a hit piece on fictional people). So they cared less about the characters as people and more about them being morally abhorrent to be justifiably murdered by the Boys (with the Boys’ life outside the murdering being as close to unimportant as possible).

Meanwhile Invincible (both the comic and the show) isna love-letter to the superhero genre, even if it subverts a few of uts tropes. So it takes the Marvel approach of being as much about the characters’ personal life as about them being superheroes.

Irredeemable/Incorruptible are about a Superman-like, the Plutonian, becoming “evil” and his (second-worse) arch-nemesis, Max Damage, being so traumatized by it that he becomes good.

The first one is about Plutonian’s former friends trying to discover why did he become evil and how to stop it, the second is about Max Damage discovering how to be a good guy after a lifetime of being the worst person around.

They are short enough to read them in half a week (they are 67 issues put together) and are very good, being way more than simply “now Superman is evil, lol”. As the writer, Mark Waid, has a lot of experience writing actual Superman comics.

People lived in the Kowloon Walled City.

So I can see people living here aswell.

I’m starting to read a lot of independent superhero stories because of it. I would rather read a story with a conclusion than one that goes to infinity.

Right now I’m reading Irredeemable/Incorruptible.

I will wait until the end of season 2 to pass my judgement.

Although I won’t deny that he was acting like a dick (and with his dick) in this last episode.

I mean. Amber acted this way throughout all of the first season… with the exception of episode 6.

I anything. Episode 6 was the out-of-character moment rather than season 2 being a 180 turn on how she behaves.

Japanese animation follows the strategy of producing an inhuman amount of series every three months and hoping that a few of them will make a profit. For every show with fantastic animation and masterful stories there are 30 who are God-awful and unforgettable.

Western animation tends to be consistent, with few being downright awful… or fantastic.

That said. Percentage-wise. I would say that Western studios create more good animated series than Japanese studios. Although, in total numbers of good series, it is the Japanese who take the podium.

Besides. Invincible is a great series and, in 8 cases out of 10, it does look great.

So this post doesn’t make much sense, to be honest…
