Yeah, until that fucking tentacle monster that belongs in some shitty hentai screws over his life.

Yeah I kinda hated what came after this point. Punishing mark by putting him back 5 years in the future to see his daughter older was already a punch in the gut, then the whole Eve dating an alien just added insult to injury. That part I felt was pretty unnecessary, Terra was enough imo

Yeah I feel like Mark gets dunked on constantly in the series, often done for reasons significant to the story. But him returning five years in the future? To me it was just punishing for very little reason.

For instance, Eve's little fling with Allen's BIL (forget the dicks name) has zero consequence on the rest of the story other than to torture Mark. Terra being older? Same thing, just torture. The whole arc ended up being really unnecessary. Lowest point in the story imo.

Yeah I felt like they could’ve just had him and Eve and Terra move to the planet they end up moving to and then do a 5 year time skip and accomplish the same thing. Maybe even make more emotionally charged for Mark since he’s had 5 normal years with his family and then gets thrown back into the Invincible life

kirkman got to the same point in TWD, was just like ehhh i don’t have much else to say with these characters….always enjoy a time warp throwback, really enjoyed seeing early teen team and the reworked confrontation with his dad, but the return was a bummer and from that point on seemed to just be wrapping everything up

If a had a nickel for every time Robert Kirkman "killed" his protagonist, then revealed that his wife banged someone else while they were gone, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. The Walking Dead and Invincible.

Personally, I think it's just his fetish, like Tarantino and feet.

Yeah and I think that’s what I disliked most about it, nothing about the deity that took him, or eves temporary rebound was never really talked about more than once. I kinda feel like the only reason they did it was to age up thraggs kids but I think there’s better ways to go about it, rather than having some unexplained time god kidnap mark but then never talk about it again

Yeah hope the show improves on it
