‘Invincible’ review: Superhero mayhem at its finest
The Hindu
Amazon Prime’s adult animation saga makes for exhilarating, if bone-squelching violent viewing, and promises an even better second season to come
At first glance Invincible and , despite being superhero origin stories, do not share much in common. Zero is the tale of a black Italian boy in a poor neighbourhood of Milan discovering the telling superpower of invisibility. Invincible, on the other hand, seems to be a standard-issue superhero origin tale. Based on Robert Kirkman’s eponymous comics, Invincible is an adult animated series set in the USA, where all superheroes seem to congregate. The show tells the story of Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) who gets his superpowers at 17, and along with it, a great deal of problems as well. . Just as you settle to what you think is a time-worn tale of a youngster meeting his destiny, getting the girl, saving the world from a colourful villain, and being the all-round good guy, the rug is pulled from under your feet as heroes turn villains and vice versa. Also, like Zero apart from saving the world, Mark has to deal with family, friends, classes, bullies, and relationship worries.More Related News
