Spoilers for Invincible Seasons 1 and a couple of under! If you happen to’re not caught up, you may try each seasons with an Amazon Prime subscription.
Invincible Season 3 has flown in on the 2025 TV schedule, and you recognize what which means – the return of everybody’s favourite dad superhero-turned-supervillain-turned…good man? Yeah, this about sums up the complexities of J.Ok. Simmons’ Omni-Man, and the Oscar winner is right here for it.
The Amazon Prime unique collection from comedian e-book icon Robert Kirkman has all the time toed the road between action-adventure and darkish household drama, and one of many greatest parts from each parts is Omni-Man, who took a little bit of a backseat in Season 2. When CinemaBlend spoke to Simmons forward of Season 3’s premiere, the actor admitted he was fantastic being within the background for a bit – the collection is titled Invincible and never Omni-Man – however he was keen to point out off and voice this “completely different facet” to Omni-Man that we’ve not seen but. In his phrases:
Yeah. Effectively, the identify of the present is Invincible, so I am fantastic taking a backseat, not less than a part of the time. However yeah, it was actually enjoyable to have extra to do in Season 3. And once more, to discover a distinct facet of this man. As a result of enjoying the identical Superman-ish, final badass with no vulnerability and no interior battle and no turmoil would, I feel, get tedious after some time.
What makes Invincible the proper superhero present – and actually the most effective non-Marvel / DC superhero exhibits ever – is the exploration of the intricate natures of those characters and the twists that include every episode – which, in flip, is what makes Omni-Man so nice. Simmons himself addressed how the modifications within the characters’ evolutions is what he loves about any “long-form storytelling,” saying:
I feel we will proceed to discover and get nice scripts with plot twists and character turns which might be attention-grabbing and stunning however nonetheless true to who we have already established these characters are. To me, that is the enjoyable of any type of long-form storytelling, whether or not it is live-action or animated.
Omni-Man, typically, has been one of many highlights of the franchise as a complete. Clearly, all of us love Mark as a hero, and watching him change into extremely robust is all the time fulfilling, particularly after the brutal demise of Angstrom Levy within the Season 2 finale. However a giant a part of that can also be watching him develop fiercer with a purpose to face his father – and the Viltrumite race as a complete.
For a time, we did not actually know what was going to occur to Omni-Man. When he was captured by the Viltrumites in Season 2 from Thraxa, it felt like his story was slowly coming to an finish. However now, in that house jail, we have already heard him admit that he missed his spouse final season, and in Season 3, he is proven to be growing fear for Alvin the Alien, his cellmate.
That is not the identical Omni-Man that we met in Season 1, and whereas I have never learn the comics but (as a result of I do not need to be spoiled), it makes me excited for what’s to come back as Season 3 progresses and past. Will we lastly see Omni-Man battle towards his folks as soon as Alvin will get via to him? I am champing on the bit to know.
Invincible continues to be the most effective exhibits on Amazon Prime, and it is solely going to get higher. Make sure to try the primary three episodes now and log again on each week at Amazon Prime to look at the remainder of this super-action-packed story.
