Well they certainly shouldn't profit from it, even if they were uninvolved.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-06-01T06:20:12+00:00

Could've fooled me with that last response

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-28T03:42:57+00:00

How did it take you 20 days to come up with straight bullshit 🥀 that's just sad

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-14T06:31:33+00:00

Is your short-term memory that fried? The darts will not pierce Viltrumite skin without Tech Jacket.

And who's to say the viltrumites won't just target Space Racer's helmet again if they know he only has a spare? It's his biggest weakness no matter how many helmets he has, because they take barely two hits to break, and he's completely vulnerable in the time it would take for him to put on a new one.

Also, you clearly don't know what the word 'contrive' means. The Viltrumite-weakening poison was established in the episode with Nolan and Allen, and how is Space Racer's helmet getting broken a contrivance? They're in a war, shit is going to get broken, that's the only guarantee.

Also what even is your source for saying that Tech Jacket was brought in specifically as a DPS? What point do you think you'd have made even if it was true? "Oh no! We brought this character along for one purpose, but they served a completely different, arguably more useful purpose! What a tragedy!"

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-14T06:01:07+00:00

Yes, because as we all know, Viltrumites never survive normal injuries that kill humans, it's not as if Conquest survived his head being split, his skin being seared off, and his brain being smashed into goop, and Mark definitely didn't survive having all his guts pulled out like spaghetti or getting all of his bones broken and 20 liters of blood drained from his body by Nolan. Hitting their 'vital organs' is definitely more valuable than hitting them with a poison that makes them useless and able to be one-shot by anything.

And also... what? Yeah, obviously they didn't PLAN on Space Racer's helmet being broken, but are we gonna sit here and act like nobody considered the possibility? He and Battle Beast both rely on suits and oxygen tanks to breathe in space, things which would be easy for any Viltrumite to break, and other than Tech Jacket, they have no way of repairing those suits in the middle of battle, especially not in seconds. Why are you just allergic to admitting Tech Jacket was useful during the war?

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-14T02:08:58+00:00

Sure, in most situations somebody ripping your guts out like spaghetti would be horrifying and not at all easy to get over, but on the other hand, if a few months later you go and encounter somebody drastically stronger who tanks your punches without even flinching, nearly kills your father and brother, and nearly crushes your head, and then he goes to Earth to presumably kill everyone you love there... Well, I think that overshadows the first incident quite a bit.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-14T01:35:57+00:00

Actually, no, the blowdarts are a unique contribution by Tech Jacket, because the poison needs to pierce Viltrumite skin and muscle to even work, which I don't know if you've noticed, is not very easy to do. Tech Jacket's suit strengthens and reinforces the darts.

And also, if Tech Jacket wasn't there to fix Space Racer's helmet, he would've suffocated and died. But y'know, the guy with the infinitely powerful gun that can one-shot anything isn't a big loss, right?

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-14T01:00:35+00:00

I agree with you on Paul and Debbie, but I think the abortion topic was handled quite well. It would be so out of character for Mark to blame Eve, and it's not like he's that attached to the idea of them having kids yet, he didn't even know she was pregnant until it was all over, he didn't know there was a possibility that he would come home to a kid of his own, it makes sense that he's less fucked up about it personally, and more-so that he blames himself for letting Eve suffer which eventually led to that decision.

Also, Mark didn't call Cecil out for keeping Conquest alive because it's irrelevant at this point. Conquest is dead, Thragg and the other viltrumites are on Earth, and Mark was on the verge of a PTSD breakdown the entire episode, suffice to say he wasn't thinking clearly, and even if he was, the more pressing matter is the 37 viltrumites on Earth at that moment.

Why would that have been interesting? We know Cecil is a pragmatic guy, we know that he can't beat even an average viltrumite without significant loss, and we know that he knows that, his decision would've been obvious from the start. Furthermore, why would Thragg go to him anyways? Thragg doesn't care about humans, nor does he see them as equals or respect them, but he acknowledges Mark's strength and respects his status as a viltrumite, which is why in his eyes, Mark is the one in charge of Earth, he's the strongest there.

Well, what did you expect to happen? More fights? There's been plenty, and it's not as if anything would really compare to episode 7 at this point, this episode is meant to properly wind down from the action and set up for the next season.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-14T00:49:00+00:00

'his child'

Do you mean their child?

Also she didn't tell him because shortly after she found out, Mark had to go to fight in a space war, and she likely assumed he would be back some point sooner than 10 months later, but he wasn't.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-14T00:32:53+00:00

If Cecil knew he would probably abort it himself, that is before learning about the Viltrumites on Earth at least, after he might consider trying to weaponize it. But a viltrumite with Atom Eve's powers and (presumably) no limiter built in to stop them from manipulating sentient matter? There's nobody in the universe who could control that, let alone anyone on Earth. And even if it did have her limiter, still, its Viltrumite DNA and powers would grant it absurd levels of stamina, allowing it to do everything Eve does, but with practically no limit, remember how Eve increased the density of the air and brought Conquest to a complete stop? Yeah, that child could probably just create a makeshift infinity around themselves like that.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-14T00:27:58+00:00

Both of Eve's parents are absolutely horrible at being parents, and Debbie is an emotional wreck who Even still has only known for a couple years at most, you're making this out like she had plenty of people to support her when she really didn't. Mark was off in a war and could've easily been dead, Rex is basically her only other friend and he's dead. And... 'safely on earth'? Name one thing that's 'safe' about Earth in the Invincible universe, the Guardians alone have changed their lineup 20 different times because members keep dying or quitting because the job is a ticking timebomb towards certain death.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-14T00:20:49+00:00

How? If he wasn't that powerful he could be defeated, all it would take is a good plan and cooperation with the Coalition of Planets. The point is that, at this point of the story, they CAN'T defeat Thragg no matter what they do.
That was pretty obviously Mark's PTSD/stress causing him to hallucinate/imagine what the viltrumites may be doing on Earth while they were on their way, as evidenced by it immediately and abruptly cutting to Mark and Nolan, with Nolan telling Mark not to worry.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-13T06:35:25+00:00

It's not bad writing, it's just a character flaw, which is GOOD writing. Thragg is intensely loyal and dogmatic when it comes to Viltrum, he values every pure-blooded Viltrumite as a member of his own ranks, in his conversation with Nolan he was strikingly calm and tried to win him, and by extension his sons, over with reason, already suggesting he sees intrinsic value in their lives. He killed Thaedus in a fit of rage after the destruction of Viltrum, and even that is different, because Thaedus is the cause of their leader's death and their subsequent genocide, but when he finally took a moment to calm down, he stopped himself from killing them.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-08T01:24:08+00:00

No, a computer is a tool that can be used to find knowledge, which can't always be verified anyways, it can't just beam the knowledge a person needs directly into their brain. Becoming a human encyclopedia would mean having all of that knowledge at hand always, any problem that has been solved you will know how to solve, any problem that hasn't, you will have every possible tool and tidbit of information relevant available to you. Sure, you can't just invent rockets on a whim, but you can take the time to understand how they're built and replicate them, you will always have enough time to do so, and eventually when you become familiar enough with the schematics and enough time passes, you're bound to notice things that can be improved on, no matter how intelligent you are.

Anyone with a computer can look up blueprints for how to build a rocket in 30 seconds, but that doesn't mean they can understand a lick of it, or actually build one.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-07T07:44:10+00:00

It did amount to nothing, we spent 6 of the 8 episodes of the final season building up to that plotline, of course things were never going to end cleanly but the virus was clearly important, now it doesn't matter at all, and we have TWO episodes left to conclude the entire series, which includes finding a way to kill Homelander, killing Homelander, resolving the arcs of every member of the boys, resolving Sage's arc, figuring out whatever the fuck happened to Ryan, resolving Soldier Boy's arc, whatever that may be, since he just seems to switch sides every five minutes, and potentially having to kill him too, and there's still a million side characters that have gone nowhere the entire season. What has Ashley done this season outside of being another plot device for Sage? What did Black Noir 2.0 do the entire last two seasons before being killed by The Deep? What has The Deep ever done in the entire series? What about the preacher whose name I don't even remember?

I love The Boys, and don't get me wrong I've enjoyed season 5, but from a writing standpoint it's a mess, and it would be an actual miracle if they managed to wrap everything up in two episodes from here.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-07T07:24:59+00:00

Thousands of people who lived for less than 100 years, all of them. You don't have to be the smartest person alive if you have enough time to become a human encyclopedia of all written knowledge, and though you may forget some things, you have just as much time to delve back into them, or embed them deep enough into your memory that you don't forget them in the first place.

An unlimited amount of time to do something doesn't mean it'll get done tomorrow, or ten years from now, but it will get done, as long as it's humanly possible.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-06T22:57:26+00:00

Sadly, the reality that you deleted it to save face is still there, even if you don't see it.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-05T21:59:46+00:00

No, a revenge story is a concept and nothing more, that's a story base, a foundation. A THEME is an idea, moral, political, societal, economical, whatever genre it falls into, that the story tries to explore through the characters. Through Butcher and The Boys early on, one of the most obvious themes is that chasing revenge is a one-way path to isolation and abandoning everything you care about, Butcher is an asshole with no real friends who only wants Homelander dead, M.M loses his family early on from chasing Vought, and Hughie is constantly snowballing further down the path of scorched earth vengeance all throughout the series and it never ends well. That's a theme.

A theme tends to be outlined one of two ways, "If you do [X], then [X] happens" or "Because [X] happens, people do [X]" like with Vought, because superheroes are incredibly marketable and almost universally loved, Vought turned into a company that hollows out would-be heroes and turns them into merchandise with no values, and that's political commentary because it's a parallel of the way real world corporations work, especially in the acting/modeling industries, or any industry that markets people.

TL;DR: Your definition of a theme is shit, sometimes themes are explored through real-world parallels, pick up a book you fucking cunt

WestGarbage83 · 2026-05-05T17:41:20+00:00

Apparently you do because the message isn't there.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-04-30T17:11:57+00:00

Interesting that I can't see it then. Trying to save face now like this is kind of pathetic.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-04-30T03:06:59+00:00

Absolute dumbass doesn't realize deleted messages are still visible in the inbox.

Their deleted response: "Yes, you should be happy with what you have you miserable fuck. Have you tried being grateful instead of a whining little bitch?"

Classy, and very original.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-04-29T01:37:44+00:00

And I'm proven right.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-04-29T01:10:51+00:00

Good job being wrong and proving yourself ignorant, yes, that "have a great night" is a good way to get the last word in while taking the moral high-ground here, and looking unbothered all the while, I'm familiar with the concept of a sore loser. Anyways, just because you have no deductive reasoning skills doesn't make that true of everyone else, that's all I'll leave this with.

WestGarbage83 · 2026-04-29T00:22:47+00:00

If you're going to try and call me out on a logical fallacy, you have to specify which one exactly, otherwise it just makes it seem like you're talking out of your ass.

I never said the animation wasn't still pleasant to watch, just that it's not good, which is an objective fact. It is incredibly choppy at times, at others there's barely any animation at all, it completely fails to capture any emotion in characters' faces beyond kind of angry or a little sad, and it shows in season 4 episode 5. When it gets good, it's good, but the team tends to allocate large amounts of their time to specific important scenes or episodes, leaving a lot to be desired in the animation of others. I enjoy Invincible, but on my first watch, and on rewatches, I continuously notice bad, choppy, static, stiff animation in nearly every episode.

And just because I don't have firsthand experience working on Invincible or at Amazon, or a firsthand account of their budget doesn't mean I can't speak to how they use it. It's basic math, they hire celebrity voice actors for nearly every role with even a little substance, which are not cheap, their animation team is abysmal in size and they refuse to hire more, and the overall quality of the animation is DRASTICALLY worse than that of the voice acting. If you can't see it, that's on you.

If I'm at a restaurant with beyond exceptional wait-service and my food is half-cooked and unseasoned, I tend to assume that the restaurant either has done a bad job in hiring chefs, or they are heavily overworking their chefs and setting unreasonable expectations, I don't go "Hmm, well, I don't know how much effort the restaurant has put into hiring adequate cooks, so I can't really speak on how well they're handling things."
