I like it, but ...

Warning: Spoilers
Your super cool series that I can recommend to everyone and that does a lot of things right, above all turning the superhero genre upside down or at least reshuffling the cards, I'll just list the things that the series does wrong.

1. Time flies on the show I never noticed it, if it wasn't said all the time I wouldn't have guessed that the first season was within a year because you have absolutely no sense of time here with all the hospital stays and how the characters develop, if you had asked me, I would have assumed from the beginning that it would take a maximum of two months.

2. Amber is an unlikable character who I absolutely disliked from the middle of the series and every scene with her got on my nerves terribly. I even wished at times that she would be written out of the series entirely or just die.

3. I bought the comics, although the original template doesn't play a role purely for this review, but I noticed that basically they both do the same thing, I find Amber implemented much better in the comic and a lot more likeable than I do here in the series.

4. The drawing style is a bit strange it just seems like some Saturday morning cartoon from the start 5. The computer generated graphics stand out and don't blend in well with the backgrounds 6. The explosions are clearly digital, which I don't think is a bad thing, but when even the backgrounds are so digital, especially during the flight scenes, I always scratch my head 7. Mark's racing animation is the last one so that's the only thing in the series that really looks bad from start to finish 8. The music is hit and miss the parts songs and generally the background music is really like a coin toss.

9. The only tension in the series is the mystery of Omniman. What you only find out in the last episode and then the secret isn't even such a huge deal, at least not the revelation strong enough to justify waiting eight episodes.

10. The love stories in all my films and series have never interested me and the comics are the same here in invincible it was the same again that didn't bother me from the start I was glad that Mark found a girlfriend but it worked for me from the beginning just like the annoying girlfriend who nags every now and then and in the end you will still tell her that she is a superhero from the beginning and that her actions and statements are even more superfluous.
