I dunno, Mark as the punching bag HAS GOT TO GO. His particular blend of passive non-conformity is very grating. While I don't really care where she ends up, I think an Atom Eve focused show would be more fun. Or that juiced up Seth Rogan alien, any one really, that's actually an active participant in their own life.

Mark has an entire arc in the comics and while the show is taking the material as a serious work vs a criticism of comics. One thing I'll say is that if you're curious

Spoiler

Angstrom will make Mark grow and become the hero he's meant to be, they'll also be a moment with Cecil where his metamorphosis will be complete and he stops taking shit. How this will play out in the show I don't know, but at this rate it's coming

Hell of a start to the show. Episode 2 was probably the best one out of the 3 that released, but all 3 are exploring some heavy themes and questions of what is considered morally right.

 

[Seyken]

I felt that both the art direction and animation took a dip in season 2. Did it get better in season 3?

 

[KyoZz]

The first 3 episodes are good, it's a change from the crappy season 2. But on the other hand Mark is so weak, they really need to stop making him get mistreated all the time.

Like he can't avoid the Mauler brothers' weapon?? All that so that Oliver arrives and destroys them in one hit while the previous season we were told that he was weaker than Mark. It's season 3, it's time for Mark to stop having his ass kicked by the first enemy who comes along, plus every time they give us a season introduction to say "look how much stronger he's gotten!" except that you never see it in the fights.


And the animation is still ugly. But hey, there's still some improvement to the story so we're not going to deny ourselves the pleasure.

It's a 150 issue comic. It's easier to read the arc than to watch it. You guys will be happy if you stick with it. I assure you.

It's mostly an act. He keeps trying to work by 'earth rules' even though he doesn't have to. I think it is a mental block, and if he lets go of that he is afraid he will be letting go of his humanity at the same time.

Keep notice to what it takes to actually injure him to where he has blood and bruises on him. Though I will admit, regarding that spoiler scene, there have been other methods throughout the show of subduing heroes as strong as even Omni-Man (aside from physical force) and both villains and the government, at all times, are trying to find as many contingencies as possible for beings as powerful as viltrumites.

I'm sure every time Cecil sees something that slightly affects Mark he instantly goes 'we can use that and crank it up to 11'.

I wanna watch it, but this split season nonsense is torture, when's the next part out? Or when will it be finished?

No split this time. 3 episodes were released on day one and it's weekly.

No break this time (thank fuckin God) as March Climber said, and the last episode will be released on March 13. I know I will wait for the end of this season to continue watching because I hate to wait every week ^^

Yeah it's just weird to see Mark struggling so much when we know what's coming...

Spoiler: end of season 3 (?) spoiler

I know it's also the same in the comics but idk, I think it's better handled. I can't wait tho

You have been saying this for YEARS now. When is "the good stuff"?

As a hyper violent cartoon it's novel enough to keep watching but otherwise this slow burn stuff needs a kick start. Half of each season could just be a montage.

Oh sweet, I guess they learnt from Season 2

It depends on what 'good stuff' means to you. If you mean DBZ battles then you'll have to wait a bit. If you mean good storytelling around heavy subject matter and moral conundrums, then you can start to jump in now.

This season will end around issue 65ish. So we aren't even halfway through the series, but this season is going to end on an awesome fight.

 

[Dynomite]

The season finale fight better not be bungled, and as epic as the comic or

One of my favorite moments in a comic, and it just got crazier later on.

A long way to go until

Spoiler

Thragg vs. Battle Beast

That fight needs one full episode to do it justice.

Right

Spoiler: Don't look if you don't want spoiled

I love how battle beast showed up early as hell but is one of the strongest characters in the whole universe.

The fights in this show are gory, but kinda dull. Mark has no real tactical skills, it's just punch punch punch. Some of the other characters show some ingenuity but its few and far between. Tahe re recent fight with the giant twins with ONE shock rifle. They take out the ENTIRE 'Justice League' team with the same trick because no one thinks to break the rifle, it's just punch punch punch.

Anyway, the show has some merits but its not a great superhero show IMHO. At least Mark has FINALLY manned up with Eve, good grief.

Felt this exact same way watching the show. Also I have been watching some fight clips from other shows. Maybe they are saving the good stuff for later? Probably not but hopefully.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Not a fan of kid omega. I forget how to do.spoilers so I'll keep it vague; trading Oliver for the 2 characters in the last episode makes my enthusiasm nose dive.

They really brought a different element and kinda speaks to the issues of shit being boring sometimes

 

[AJUMP23]

The first 3 episodes have been better than last season.
