The superhero style continues to be wildly widespread, with new tasks arriving on each the small and silver screens. Exterior of the principle cinematic universe, the Invincible present is airing for these with an Amazon Prime subscription. I have been actually having fun with Season 3, however one criticism I had concerning the second season nonetheless hasn’t been fastened simply but. Hear me out.
Invincible Season 3 began off with a bang, with Steven Yeun’s title character turn out to be much more highly effective and having a severe battle with Cecil. Whereas J.Ok. Simmons returned as Omni-Man, he is nonetheless solely showing briefly throughout the first few episodes. And given how a lot I missed him in Season 2 and the way beautiful Simmons’ efficiency is within the position, I want extra of the sequence’ major antagonist/antihero.
Clearly we’re just a few episodes into Season 3, so it is attainable that Omni-Man will turn out to be a extra constant presence later within the season. In truth I hope I am unsuitable, and we get to see him have some much-needed conflicts with Mark, Debbie, and Oliver. He is such an enchanting character, and I want to listen to extra of Simmons’ dulcet tones.
Season 3 has already given us some main payoffs, corresponding to Mark and Eve lastly getting collectively in any case this time. And with Omni-Man admitted he missed his spouse, I’ve a sense the household drama goes to take middle stage. I simply hope that it finally ends up ensuing episodes-long appearances with Simmons’ highly effective character. As a result of whereas Season 2’s episode on Thraxa was nice, it was actually the one one which put Nolan again on the entrance of the narrative.
Omni-Man immediately captured the eye of parents watching Invincible, particularly after Episode 1’s brutal homicide of the Guardians of the Globe. All through all of Season 1 we puzzled about his motives, earlier than he finally revealed the true mission of the Viltrumites, and brutally beat up his personal son in a world-spanning battle. He departed Earth afterward, and has largely solely appeared in short scenes within the season and a half that adopted.
All that being mentioned, I am thrilled the present is already again for a 3rd season. Season 2 of Invincible was cut up into two components, which made the pacing actually come to a halt… particularly for the hole between seasons. And as beforehand talked about, I’m actually liking the route of Season 3. I merely need extra of a fan favourite character, and the excellent voice actor that goes together with it. The Invincible voice solid is totally stacked, together with Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, Gillian Jacobs, Walter Goggins and extra. New episodes air Thursdays on Amazon Prime as a part of the 2025 TV premiere record. Hopefully we get extra of Omni-Man quickly.
