That was what surprised me the most. Looks like he called Cecile and had the Guardians brought in to help. But he just sat there the entire fight and didn't help. He's for sure evil but seems like he loves his son. If your gonna go through the effort of calling for back up for Mark(I assume Omniman was the one who tipped off the Guardians) why not just help? Probably to teach him a lesson for not taking his advice I guess. But that would of backfired if Mark died

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ Know them. Follow them. Love them.
I just got caught up on the series and I am liking it so far. Did they release the first 3 episodes first? I was seriously distracted by the sharp drop-off in animation quality starting in ep4 - was that their plan? I was super impressed by the voice talent involved in this show though. (No offense to Goggins, but for some reason, I think Denis Leary would've been better as Cecil.(not knowing anything about the comic books))
I'm definitely interested in seeing where the story goes. Again, I didn't read the comics, so I am enjoying the ride.
I've heard some stuff hinted at by other people but yea I rather go in blind. Thanks though
Question about BattleBeast. Did he intentionally leave those 3 alive? Seemed like he thought he killed Mark,Sampson,and the little girl. But given how the episode ended I assume all 3 will end up being ok. Though Sampsons arm gonna take a minute to heal. Just seems like he's too effective at his job to wrongly assume he killed all 3. So just curious if he got bored and left them alive on purpose or just assumed they would die from they're injuries?
Also only things that scuks about adapting existing story is some people know what's gonna happen. Like I wanna ask and speculate what Robot is up to. But I know some people know the actual answer.
just got bored, that's all his character is really he doesnt have tons of backstory, but similar to titan (who i think even appears less than BB in the comics) the show could end up giving him more motivations

this is from the same scene in the comics, shortly before he takes that portal exit

Well I read Invincible around 2005, couple of years after its realese, other than big story twists,turns I don't remember much. There is many issues but the early eps is faithful to the comics. The animation quality is uneven so the art is much better for action,character. What I remember most other than Omni-man violent twist is that Eve,Mark was great power couple early in the comics. I'm not a fan of the slow build in the tv show. Battle Beast is easy to read as honor based, crazy about worthy battles. That's what made Invincible different back then every character wasn't serious superhero villain, important for the story. Kirkman played well with the genres clichés.

Invincible Comics Fans: is this series getting the whole of the story?
I ask because I'm digging the show. I could do without the volume of gore, but the story is as good and epic as anything either of The Big 2 ever did. Is there more to be gained from the source?
