Technically he will

I hope that the point of this season isn't just that Mark will become stronger, but also that he'll learn how to solve problems without always resorting to using his fists. It's one of the lessons the strongest heroes have to learn, since Superman. It will also make him the anti-Omni Man that he is really wanting to be.

It's based on a comic that marketed a company wide crossover event that lasted ONE issue. Then just as soon as it ended and the setting was recovering from all the damage, it pulled one of the best villain introductions ever in comics. I can't wait to see that fight animated. I have high hopes for it especially with how good the Omni-man fight in S1 was.

It was another universe. Not the one OUR Invincible is in.

I thought it might had been a dream. But that ,ales sense with multiverse brain.

Yeah. But after that, I don't think there's more of that multiverse stuff. The guy who has that power is the only one.

The multiverse (mini) arc in Invincible was made as a jab to the multiverse craze thst started in comics. It's a one and done here no more going back to it.

Was that an editing error or were they going for the Guinness record of longest post-credit scene ever made?

This arc was done YEARS before the trend started and was a commentary on multiverses at the time. Stick with it, FWIW
Angstrom will do something that makes Mark the hero he is to the end
i mean, the comic and this story were made starting in 2003. It's not just doing multiverse things because marvel did it. Invincible is one of the best comics ever made. just have faith compadre.

She has been saying all of the right things this season and has been highly supportive for Mark. Unless she randomly betrays him like Omni Man, I think she will be around for a bit longer. She has become kind of a nothing character though.

Seeing that latest episode, it's still so interesting to me seeing a more grounded depiction of what Saiyans from DBZ would be like. They're all basically Season 1 Vegeta/Nappa.
Thank goodness Viltrumites don't have beam powers.

The second half of the season comes back in late January.

That's a stretch, raditz at most.

I fully believe that Raditz would have been taken out by the human tenkaichi crew alone if they were aware and had more time to show up. In terms of Saiyans he is like their Yamcha.

Sure, but he still easily stomps everyone in the start of the saiyan saga with little ease, remember that piccolo at that time is a casual moon destroyer, and those blasts didn't hurt raditz at all; it took goku sacrificing himself to beat raditz at all, he also suffered some damage from gohan's sudden burst of rage.
Even if the humans teamed up they would be completely useless, their powers don't add together, it would still be a bunch of ants trying to fight raditz. He would probably also just immediately kill them, raditz only took so much time with goku because he wanted him to join the other saiyans.

Solar Flare + Destructo Disc.
It didn't work on Nappa because Vegeta screamed at him to dodge.

Sure, if krillin knew it at the time, but we don't know if he did, it's more likely he developed/mastered it after training with kami to fight nappa/vegeta

I highly doubt she will be. I sort of compare it to Insomniac's doubling down of MJ missions in Spider-Man 2. Cutting these characters or diminishing their roles is just not an option for them. Not to mention that they're female characters and in today's modern climate, doing such thing would be seen as sexist. And, in Amber's case i think is worse cause she's black. If the writers all of a sudden cut Amber to make Mark and Eve a thing (which some people want), it could be seen as them making black female characters problematic.
Anyway, i expected more from this mid season finale. I think they're focusing on too many characters and wish things were moving a bit faster.

I don’t understand how you can say all of this about Amber this season and yet you’ve also watched this season so far. It is extremely clear in season 2, Amber and Mark’s other best friend/college roommate guy have both been 100% shoved into the background this season. I don’t care what happens to Amber either way, but let’s not pretend that she is getting significant screen time in season 2.
An easy way to tell is the simple fact that so far Amber has not appeared alone on screen at all in Season 2, compared to Season 1 where she did quite a bit. She is now only present either when Mark is present or when Eve is present on screen. Her speaking lines have been significantly cut as well since now that she’s just ‘the chill normal supportive girlfriend’ and there’s no drama. Thus she has been made boring and not relevant to the plot anymore.
So far this is not comparable to MJ at all. She is now exactly what everyone originally wanted her to be, in this season.

The reason I compare it to Insomniac is that they both had a chance to do something about the fan backlash on these characters and chose not to. They could've dropped the MJ missions but didn't. They could've made Amber brake up with Mark and make Mark and Eve a thing but didn't. Now, Amber may not be getting more screen time, but they purposely have made her into the most understanding/perfect girlfriend ever, which you yourself said has made her into a nothing character.
I think addressing the way she treated Mark and them breaking up, would be a better way to handle Amber even if ultimately they get back together again. Amber realizing her mistake and making up for it could've been a way to get fans back on her side.
