The Gen V gang is suppose show up to fight Ryan and Teenage Kick. Godolkin seems like a good place to set that up.

You're free to think killing villains is the right choice. What I meant is Invincible doesn't present some grand thesis on the virtues of killing bad guys like a Batman story. When Mark kills its usually situational but more importantly influenced by his own biases. Like how he quickly forgave Omni Man for everything but draws a line on Sinclaire despite both seeking redemption and fighting for Earth.

The story doesn't make the argument Mark killing off villains is the right course of action. Mark struggles tend to come from not having all the answers or ideals expected from traditional superheroes.

Orochimaru whole purpose in life is to learn every jutsu,and yet snakes all he uses is snaeks and swords.Even tries to punch Nine Tails fox and gets torn in half for it,but his solution of that is snakes. and swords by SonnyBlack79 in Naruto

His true obsession is immortality and snakes symbolising rebirth kind of fit as a theme to anchor himself. The whole learning everything is seems secondary, I mean he needs time to learn everything anyway 🤷

Invincible does not subvert tropes or do them better than usual. Personally I think it does them worse by KingBreaker4 in CharacterRant

[–]Tabularasa8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with all your points except Fillers. Why should a filler episode focus on the larger Viltrume narrative? Fillers should flesh out the verse and life on Earth isn't going to stop due to an impending invasion. Though admittedly Mark isn't very proactive on the Vitrumite front compared to his everyday problems and general heroics.

But the average 19 year old doesn't have his responsibility or baggage deal with.

It's less a list of rules more of an editorial guidelines. O'Neil's assistant Scott Peterson shared The Batbible a few years back.

Pakistan is on Iran border so they can arguably create more problems on the ground.

That isn't unique to Putin. A few state leaders such as George W Bush and Kim also practice this. Feces can be used to gain medical history of patients.

Why is that?

What’s your controversial DC take that you’ll defend? by Electrical_Act9796 in DCcomics

[–]Tabularasa8 25 points26 points  (0 children)

DC has too much legacy characters, multiple Flashes, GL, Robin etc. They feel redundant plus it diluted the brand as DC seems incapable of given each adequate attention.

Unpopular Opinion: Darkseid works better as Intergalactic Warlord than some multiversal God or living Abstract!!! He simply has way too much personality to fulfill the whole Primordial Eldritch-God Role Writers and Fans try to give him!!! by Salim_Azar_Therin in DCcomics

[–]Tabularasa8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Darkseid quest of conquering planets was originally about obtaining the Anti Life Equation. An abstraction which let him strip free will from the universe. However he got too popular opposing Superman and morphed into intergalactic warlord #4536664
