They did the bit with Allen so well, I’m so glad they kept the cheesy old fashioned style of storytelling like the comics. I didn’t think we’d get omni man already so I was literally screaming when he showed up

Loved that they brought in a narrator to do the pan outs from the couples getting it on.

That is a humorous gag

I was just cynically thinking that we're going to wait until the final ep of the season for omniman to show up in order to setup season 3. Glad they went against that more traditional cliffhanger. Really excited to see how omniman has changed (or hasnt).

I'm kind of expecting omni man to be a disguise à la seance dog, but it will be a much more interesting story if he has to confront his dad already

Yeah this is seemingly him taking over this planet right? I imagine these bug people have a short lifespan and Omni-Man can spin his own tale on their history or really whatever he feels like lol. Just a guess

They have an extremely short lifespan

I reckon they didn't want Omniman gone for an entire season considering that he's such a big part of season 1's success.

I dont think its him. Remember that insect guy could shapeshift. They might be tricking him to use him for something

u/Professor_Crab Nov 19 '23

Oh shit I did forget about that but that brings the question how do they know what Omni-Man or Mark looks like? Or where to find him

u/-Fletcher- Nov 20 '23

I mean tbf I hope I'm wrong but I just have this sneaking suspicion. It would be well within the show's MO to do something like that

u/choff22 Nov 21 '23

Feel like Mark could easily test him and find out pretty quickly if he was legit or not.

Loved the music and peaceful atmosphere to end the episode
