02:54 we've come so far. Divide and conquer we'll find this room faster if we split up. No my son that's
03:02 not a tactically sound strategy. What are those lizard people? We need to stay together. What mom?
03:08 Prince Lizard. Just straightforward name. Yeah. Our intel was spotty but the serum should be on
03:16 this level. The flames of this burning world will warm our cold blood onward until the lizard league.
03:23 Oh boy the lizard league love the alliteration.
03:30 The guardians. The guardians of the globe.
03:34 Oh so this is like an actual prequel. This is a prequel yeah.
03:39 This doesn't have to get any uglier than it already is. Is this like their take on the
03:46 serpent society? Is that what they're doing here? Pity you won't get a chance to see it.
03:51 Are you sure about that? God I did miss this show. I was just thinking the same thing.
03:57 This reminds me of the the season premiere though except in reverse.
04:00 Come on iguana. You're better than this. You're not some hired goon.
04:06 Is that black samson? Don't waste your time samson. Oh it is. Darkwing not coming down. Still
04:13 healing after the chronodial battle. Red rush. Busy in Russia and martian man's helping dark
04:20 blood on some important mission. Dark blood? Was that the the demon guy? Yeah. Nice. This feels so
04:26 much like a DC animated movie. Oh yeah totally.
04:28 Do they live? I don't know. Oh. Omni-man. Big daddy stache. New suit? Yeah the tailor said it
04:45 wasn't iconic enough. Apparently everyone's running around with a big letter on their
04:51 chest these days. He's looking at me. Engine work due for two more weeks. I'm sorry Dr. Brandenburg.
04:58 I know how important this baby is. Oh is that Adam Eve? I should have found another way.
05:02 Looks like some kind of telepath aren't you? Yeah. Uh-oh. They're getting closer. We have to get you to a hospital.
05:09 Yeah this has to be years before I took it. Yeah. Uh samson has bald head in the present. She was
05:16 literally born like pretty much on the battlefield of the guardians. Wow. Yeah. So sorry I did this
05:23 to you. Feels like the stranger thing scientist. Totally yeah. Papa? We're headed for the valley
05:30 hospital. That child is too valuable to leave her birth in the hands of civilian doctors. We have a
05:35 hospital. I just realized we don't see her mom in the show. Bring her back now. You'll get your weapon
05:40 and in the end you'll thank me for it. Classic. That voice on the phone sounds so familiar. Who is
05:46 that? I don't know. Also you gotta throw your friend out the window. It's a media staple. You must be
05:53 ready for any. I should probably wear more protection you know like. No. You really cared about her.
06:06 Cut it out. Cut it out. C-section. C-section. C-section. Let's go baby. Let's go c-section.
06:12 Cut that belly.
06:15 Search the hospital. Find me the bodies. Oh maybe this special's about him trying to find her again.
06:25 Oh like stranger things like papa. Yeah.
06:31 Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins. You want this one? We all thought she was gone but she came back to us.
06:38 Switcheroo. Sam sure loves her legos huh? It's the only thing she'll play with. Good easter egg.
06:48 Any idea why mercury's a liquid at room temperature when it's surrounded by solids?
06:52 Mercury's six s-valon subshell has two electrons. To be a solid they got a bond. Robert Oppenheimer.
07:00 Killian Murphy. Sam's been making molecules for me. Check it out. That's baking soda. This one
07:06 is glucose and believe it or not that's magnesium. Why is he so mad bro? Dad's about to like punch
07:11 this guy. No science in my goddamn house. She can barely read at all. She has these molecules
07:19 memorized like she could just see them in her head. Get out of my house. Maybe Zack's right.
07:26 He's 16. For all we know he made it all up. If he was a white kid I would take this news
07:31 differently. That's the last time we let her color it in the house.
07:36 Grossy. Now concentrate on maintaining your form. Is that just like his muscle fibers?
07:50 Oh yeah. I don't like it. Is that what's his name? Oh Jesus. Is that the little baby guy? The
07:56 the robot? Oh maybe. Hi I'm Samantha Wilkins right? I guess you know I'm the weirdo that
08:03 lives across the street from you. You're not weird you're just smart girl. That's what my mom said.
08:08 I'm Belle the even weirder weirdo who lives across the street from you. Is Belle part of the
08:13 teen titans group she was a part of? I don't think so. You got homework to do if you want
08:17 to get your grades up. My grades are great. Your mother and I were told you were special. Oh silly
08:22 us we thought that meant you should go to a school for special kids. Why is this guy like the biggest
08:27 asshole in the world? They don't have any fun or care about anything. They're just a bunch of
08:32 freaks. They're freaks? Look at yourself. Isn't that why you belong there? Ouch. Damn dad. What
08:38 is your problem? She knows I didn't mean it. I don't know man you've been a dick this whole
08:44 episode. I feel like you did. I feel like you kind of meant that. There it is. Yeah. Science.
08:58 Science bitch.
09:11 She's like seeing things on a molecular level. Oh she turned into glass.
09:17 Wow that's cool. Sell them at an art museum. Make money. Change back change back change.
09:26 That's cool. It's kind of broken. Kind of OP power if you ask me. I made you a snack sweetie.
09:37 Cream cheese and olive sandwich. What? You ever had that shit before? No.
09:42 Don't play with your food. Oh nice. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about
09:49 Adam Eve. Keep playing with your food. Never stop. Experiment right? Now it's cherry. Try it. Ew no.
09:57 She reacted to her powers very well. Right. It's president Val. Sam I'm serious.
10:06 How are you doing this? She is not reacting to her friend's powers very well.
10:10 Not taking it well. I can make stuff. I've heard stuff.
10:17 It left you. I said stop. Thought it was fun. It's not okay. It's freaking scary. You're a freak.
10:29 I should go home now. Fake ass friend. Val. Val. Aw that's her one and only friend. She was my
10:39 friend. I said let's make some weird shit. Yeah man. Dude if you gave me superpowers I'd be jealous.
10:45 Let's drink all the ginger ale we want to. I'd be like get me some G fuel.
10:54 Oh pink. It's your favorite color. Her thing is pink like her outfit. Remember to write a
11:00 thank you note to aunt penny. Is that aunt penny an easter egg that we totally missed? I don't know.
11:05 Better fits. Let's go. Do not hurt that animal. Make it a super squirrel.
11:15 I wish you were a puppy. Make it talk. I wish I had a puppy.
11:22 Should I make the puppy out of thin air? No bro. Oh dude you've become a homeless man. Yo yo you
11:32 stinky. Yo put it on your face. Oh my god it's gonna be a first night out on the town.
11:44 Woohoo.
11:48 That's fun. Nice. Reminds me of static shock. That's exactly what I was thinking.
11:57 Look at her bringing her powers to life. She's like a cooler miss marvel. Yeah totally yeah.
12:13 Ah what the hell? I think it's a powerpuff girl. Shut up. You shut up. You shut up. Buzz off
12:21 powerpuff. Come on we need to get the rest. Imagine what I can do to those dumb masks you're wearing.
12:28 Oh damn. She made it out of metal? Oh my god just the weight of that. You're gonna leave them
12:36 squirming like turtles on their backs? Don't come any closer. Don't worry. How did you get there so
12:41 fast? Adam and Betsy Wilkins are not your real parents. I'm adopted? Man that would explain a lot.
12:50 My name is Dr. Elias Brandyworth. I was the assistant director of the pentagon's department
12:57 of superhuman research. Research? You eat out of dumpsters. Yeah to stay off the grid. To protect
13:05 you. You were one of my projects Samantha. Now give him some food Samantha. Right he's giving
13:10 you valuable information. You're crazy. I'm leaving. You can see molecules turn paper into
13:17 stone. Feel the chemical composition of the world in your bones. He knows what he's talking about.
13:23 Make me a nice steak dinner out of some leaves. Yeah please. Can you make some cash for me please?
13:28 I'm so hungry. Then why come find me now? The military thinks you're dead. If they discover
13:36 you're not they'll come for you. Yeah shut this shit down. Stop using them. No I can do things
13:42 that matter. I can help people. I'm begging you not to. Conceal don't feel. What's that noise?
13:49 What noise? You have to go. It's already begun. Do not use your powers go. Even if the military
13:56 comes for you. Don't defend yourself. Your father and I have done everything for you. Sent you to a
14:02 special school. Look the other way with these odd little habits of yours. I hate her parents.
14:08 Why can't you just be normal? That's not what I said. I love you Samantha. I do but I wish you'd
14:15 try harder sometimes. Great parenting guys. I feel like they they so overlooked just the
14:22 caliber of genius that she is. Every parent would kill to have a child this small. We sent a drone
14:27 out after our sensors got paid. Guaranteed to not become a prostitute down the road you know.
14:31 It's her. I don't care about science. I care about industrial work.
14:39 Playing into the patriarchy. Stay in your lane girl.
14:43 Robbie Close have you seen him? Are you sure he isn't here? Oh yes I looked twice he's not here.
14:52 He's by the dumpsters. Did he not tell you? Look behind your local Applebee's. He'll be right there.
15:00 Way to not use your powers. Good job. You listen great. I'm gonna go way up in the sky. You
15:06 understood the assignment clearly. Nice soul patch bro. Makes your face extra punchable. First
15:11 get out of my way kid. Cut his head off. Once you give that all back and sit down nicely and wait
15:18 for the police. The name's Kill Cannon not gets beat up by little girls can we? Seen this guy
15:23 before? He seems familiar right? I'll know on my rewatch. The hell? Kick his ass.
15:34 We can just change his cannon to something else.
15:44 Kill him. You should literally never have to throw a punch ever. She could just change his
15:49 gun yeah. Yeah exactly. You're just not made for this. Great job. I literally was.
15:56 Samantha. Did you get more disheveled bro? How did you show up? Told you to be by the trash cans.
16:08 What you don't even take a day off on your birthday? How do you know it's my birthday?
16:12 My parents didn't even remember. Damn. Those parents are the absolute worst.
16:18 You have a super genius and you don't appreciate her. That's crazy. Trade you a burger for some
16:25 answers. Oh thank god. I've been waiting for her. She's buying him a burger. Just make him a burger.
16:31 Save your money girl. She was a valued colleague. She volunteered her pregnancy for an experimental
16:37 procedure. Oh interesting. We manipulated her amniotic fluid, induced controlled mutational
16:44 change. I was making a terrible mistake. That's all she would have wanted for you. A normal life.
16:49 I like this scientist character. Yeah. Too bad he's definitely gonna die in this special. Oh 100%.
16:53 I'm wearing a mask. I'm using a fake name. I'm apparently a government-designed super weapon.
17:01 I'll be fine. Now how is the government still not after you in present day? That's what I want to
17:05 know. I have no idea. I think she's gonna wipe out this operation.
17:09 Freaky. Form a perimeter or something. What? Get the hell out of here.
17:20 Dope sauce.
17:29 Get off of me. Oh you're nasty.
17:33 Kind of got a little something hanging out your your face there.
17:41 What the hell? Grossy gross gross gross. Oh melty. I have to speak for our siblings.
17:52 They've never been out of their tanks long enough to learn to talk. Our siblings? This is kind of
17:57 tragic. Phase two, phase three, phase four, phase five. Less successful than the last but all one
18:06 big happy family. They're your siblings. Oh so like weapon x but like worse. Or like 11 from
18:13 stranger things. Yeah yeah. Nice. Oh there's the blood. There's that invincible violence.
18:24 Oh yo.
18:26 How'd she become such a good fighter? Right.
18:36 Clearly she's been doing more crime than we were seeing. Fighting more crime.
18:41 This action is great.
18:51 What disturbing body horror with that phase two guy.
18:54 You can't like change their molecules and stuff too? You can't heal them?
19:03 We are reaching man of steel territory. Oh you can't heal your own wounds. Interesting.
19:21 Sweet.
19:21 Cool. Very cool.
19:30 Their cave again.
19:38 Let's go.
19:48 Let's go iron eve. Nice.
19:51 Oh god. Damn.
19:56 So creative. It's like Ms. Marvel and Green Lantern in one. I would just hang the same thing.
20:07 We're gonna die. It'll be worth it to see the life train from the perfect eye.
20:15 Oh my god. I mean so envious. What cool choreography. Damn.
20:21 Oh that's so messed up.
20:27 Man of steel. Man of steel.
20:41 You're making it worse. You're just making it worse.
20:43 There's a family in there. Nice. Hell yeah.
20:53 That's the man of steel I'm looking for. The heroic side of making sure to protect the people.
21:00 So why did it keep trying to attack her? You started this.
21:07 You should get Brandyworth involved.
21:12 Well it's not her fault.
21:19 Why don't you like subdue them and just like try to talk to them for a second.
21:25 Oh Brandyworth.
21:33 Look who it is. You actually like this monster? Good.
21:38 Oh the impact of that still could have. That didn't save him. He's old.
21:46 Thank you. Oh it did. Thank you.
21:49 I implanted a subconscious block to prevent you from altering living tissue.
22:00 Break past your subconscious barrier.
22:03 Look at me. Yeah hey. Body horror is so disturbing. Oh my god.
22:12 Oh.
22:19 I wish everything was different for us.
22:28 Sure yeah.
22:28 Brandyworth. What a treat. Son of a bitch. Son of a stache. It's time to bring it all down.
22:40 Break past her subconscious barrier. Let him go and I'll stay. We have plans for both of you.
22:46 I said you can have me.
22:48 Did you really think that was gonna work guys? Come on. But now that I have Brandyworth,
22:55 his research partner isn't needed anymore. Are you sure? Do it.
23:00 What? Is that the mom? Who is that? Where do you think all your brothers and sisters came from?
23:10 Oh shit. Ah. Good old mom. Oh god. Technically alive. We didn't get her back up and running
23:20 in time to save her from messing Brandy. Get that out of my face bro. Come on now. You monster.
23:25 Nah man. I'm gonna freaking die.
23:29 Oh no. Oh the mom. Heal her. This poor woman. Oh my gosh. She's been through so much.
23:44 Oh man. Damn it. Oh great. Is he getting an off camera death? Right. What the hell? So lame.
23:55 You murdered my whole family. Scarlet witch time. Right. I could rearrange yourselves to make you
24:06 whole new people from the monsters you are. Please do it. She's Dr. Manhattan. Okay cool.
24:12 I am Samantha Eve Wilkins and I defy you to even remember who I am.
24:18 What just happened? She broke free. Across her limits.
24:24 In the head? Damn. I can't believe he died off screen. Right. But it was in her perspective.
24:31 They've done locked into her perspective the whole time. Yeah.
24:37 Where am I? Oh she actually took a kinder path to it huh? Yeah. Oh god. And where have you been?
24:49 Adam wait. Don't stick up for her. Fucking A. You couldn't even call.
24:53 Get that stick out your ass dad. Damn you ate the cake. You ate my cake? Wow.
25:06 Oh that's sad. That's really sad. Please come out. It's your birthday. Let's try again. That's
25:15 so sad. Only one I've got. I get it man. You gotta settle for it. You got I got Javi Koay on the
25:21 internet. It's all going to be okay. I promise. Damn. Wow. Well I thought they were gonna like
25:35 go to the part where we catch up to her age. Right. I thought they were gonna go present day.
25:39 We're doing it. Yes. You're home early. Yeah light day. Dad look I'm gonna be duct tape man.
25:51 That boy is never getting his powers is he? Don't ask me. You're the superhero space alien.
25:58 But even if he doesn't I will love him just as much. No I won't. You're just my pet. I don't
26:03 even love you. Oh that sinister look. What are you so mad for? He needs to make sure his son gets
26:10 powers. Oh right right right. Wow. Wow. He's a conflicted man. Wow the range of emotion that
26:21 man's face. I know JK Simmons performed that well with no dialogue right there. Yeah man
26:27 they animated the show JK Simmons. All right man. All right. Oh what a great time to return to the
26:39 world of Invincible. I really enjoyed that. I enjoyed that a lot. I enjoyed that a lot. Aaron
26:44 what did you think? Lay your thoughts down. Lay your honest thoughts down about what you liked
26:49 what you didn't like as I get readjusted here. Shake it out. Let's get readjusted here. All right
26:54 what'd you like? Oh man I liked it all. I did not expect this to be a prequel. I didn't watch any
26:59 trailers or anything going into this. It said the first sentence is in this special prequel episode.
27:05 You go in blind. You said this is an in-between. Like you knew what you were talking about. I mean
27:10 prior to today. Prior to the moment we sat down. I had no clue. But yeah I thought it was really
27:23 effective in us really getting to see behind the scenes of what our childhood is like. Kind of get
27:29 more informed. I wonder if they did this because we're going to see a lot more of that backstory
27:34 kind of continue to the present day of season two. Sure. So we can kind of like really get invested
27:40 with her. And it's they made this something that's like non-essential at least from what we know so
27:45 far. But I think it's going to add a lot of flavor and and peppering into the season. Hopefully it
27:50 plays back into it. But yeah I thought the stuff with her found family and the people she would
27:59 choose to be really compelling. You know like she had a really shitty life and that kind of
28:03 that really sucks. But I think that yeah I think we got to see what makes her her. And the fact
28:12 that you know she cares so much. It's like she's this girl that has these powers that wants to help
28:20 people but also kind of doesn't know who she is. But she's like way smarter than everyone else
28:23 around her. We never felt like she fed in. And she finally at the end found people that were of her
28:30 kin. You know and I think that was very very cool. And cool. Cool. Yeah. But yeah I thought the action
28:39 was really good. I thought the music was really good. It made me miss Invincible and kind of
28:44 remember what the show is really about. You know it balances that action with the heart and it
28:51 succeeds well at what it does. I think from a marketing standpoint which is not the first thing
28:58 I expected to talk about. I think from a marketing standpoint it's actually kind of genius because
29:03 it takes place before season one. And other than the stuff with Omni-Man it's not really trying to
29:10 do these attempts to you know fill in like specific. Like yes they were always alluding to
29:17 Adam Eve's backstory. And we saw that. I think in Invincible season one she ends up running away
29:24 from her home. She did. Yeah. That's what happens right. But this still can serve as a
29:31 a like this. This perfectly segues you into doing a rewatch. Yeah. You know what I mean. Because
29:40 it's been a few years. So people odds are there's probably gonna be a lot of people who are gonna
29:43 have to rewatch. They said they released this a few months before season two comes out. So it is
29:49 a great way to encourage people to go oh actually this is a an awesome segue into going back into
29:54 rewatching season one. And then we can watch season two when it comes out. I think that was
29:59 like really smart. And I really thought this was great because you know prior to I like I remember
30:04 liking Adam Eve. But I mean at least for I think a lot of people she was you know the main talk
30:11 was always like Mark and Omni-Man. Right. And I know that a lot of people really loved her.
30:16 But the main thing that people when you look back on Invincible is those two characters. So with her
30:24 and knowing about the special I didn't know about it until you texted me saying is a new special.
30:30 And I was like yeah we should watch it. And I was like yeah I'm interested because it's Invincible.
30:35 But I'm not like hyper curious about it. But this certainly quickly instilled of a vast appreciation
30:46 for her character that I don't quite recall having prior. That makes me excited to do the rewatch.
30:53 So that way I'm all this knowledge and emotional association is now going to be applied when
31:00 watching that journey. Because here what was neat was that it wasn't like ultra gory. And
31:08 it didn't exactly you know break the rules or break the boundaries in the way how you know the
31:16 first season of Invincible did. In a lot of ways it was a darker bolder and more experimental
31:25 version of a of an origin story. Yeah. You know like and for the most part I was like no this is
31:33 about like a the origin story by the numbers as you might expect it to go. When you just look at
31:39 the outline of stuff like the death of the scientist was predictable and the way she was discovering
31:44 her powers and whatnot and the wonder and then saving people and then towards like the last
31:50 10 to 15 minutes of this is when I thought like oh they developed a really unique wraparound for
31:57 it. I'm not saying it wasn't unique and original throughout. Like they were peppering in those
32:02 unique original elements consistently you know and it had a bit of that Stranger Things tone that we
32:07 were talking about. And I appreciated also too the ability to do a lot with a little where you don't
32:16 really spend too much time with these brothers. But when they're there it's really effective and
32:21 you could feel the torture that they went through you know. The anguish that they there's a word for
32:28 doing a lot with a little. I can't quite pull it right now but I remember writing it down and
32:34 I wanted to pull it if I can pull it. But what the hell is it laconic? Is that the word?
32:39 Laconic? I've never heard that. I think it's laconic. Laconic? You would know. You look the
32:44 word up. I don't know. Doing a lot with a little huh? Because it's it didn't I didn't leave this
32:54 going this should have been longer. No no I think it used its runtime very well. It was an hour long.
33:02 It's like 50 something like 52 minutes or something. 50 something 52 minutes? It went by fast. Yeah.
33:08 There are it's very well. There are a couple things that I do wish that they did implement
33:11 though. Like in the end I didn't walk away going I wish this was longer. I think of course with a
33:16 longer run if it's like an hour and a half probably would have been in tears by the end
33:20 with the way how some of this stuff played out. Could have had more breathing room in certain
33:24 elements. Of course of course it did. I think though again I'm thinking about the marketing
33:31 side of it that I don't think as many people would tune in for an hour and a half. Of course there
33:36 are those people. I'm just saying I don't feel like most people. I think you're gonna get more
33:40 people to tune in for a 52 minute one that just feels like an irregular episode versus like an
33:45 hour and a half special. But yeah like her her ability to use the powers I think would have been
33:52 kind of a cool part of the origin tale to explore. How she got good at fighting because she became
33:56 like incredibly good at fighting. Is that just part of her skill set? Maybe. I mean she learned
34:02 she learned a lot really quickly. Yes. Yeah man. I think that's like a common like superhero trope
34:08 though. They learn really quickly without doing much training. So I think we've got to like
34:12 accept that as like part of the conceit of the story. Yeah yeah and I was able to get on board
34:17 with it but I think that is something that still would have helped just enhance it much more.
34:22 Really what it is is like there are things that just if it was longer it could have just enhanced
34:26 it. Yeah you know it's always good to have more time to flesh things out you know. I think that
34:31 it achieved what it set out to do from the very beginning though. I think like
34:37 even like the seeds of what this thing had had set up you see through what a fucking it's been
34:44 two years but when I remember of Invincible like this whole thing of like finding a place to belong
34:49 into and like her not feeling comfortable within her family and she she had this family that she
34:54 discovered very late in the game when she got her powers but then like within the show the proper
34:59 show proper she has this found family of like the superhero team the guardians and then she
35:05 has Mark she found a sense of a friendship sense of kinship and I think that's kind of been her
35:09 journey through this whole thing like realizing her own potential in addition to realizing where
35:15 she kind of fits into things. What I didn't if there's something I didn't really like about
35:21 the execution of this is it's the it's the the parents. There's no nuance really. Exactly that's
35:32 the exact word there's no nuance. The mom is like you know I'm disciplining you no I'm sorry what
35:40 happened to you I'm mad oh what happened to you and the dad's always like you're a bitch.
35:49 Constantly them there's and I get it you're not supposed to be likable they're emotionally
35:55 abusive I understand the intention I do think the execution though even in like a domestically
36:03 violent situation it can be they're gonna be nuanced to the levels of why they treat them the
36:11 way why they treat her the way they do or you know seeing that other seeing that there might be more
36:18 of a conflict of why she does ultimately still choose but she just goes through like the terrorist
36:23 like the experiences murder and crazy violence like she's already at a point like you can go
36:28 but she's just a child and you know she's got these emotional attachments stuff I'm like at
36:33 the same time though she's she's got a significantly more experiences than your average child and I
36:38 could totally see like why did she go off on her own way earlier than where she goes off on the show
36:43 because there is no there's nothing here to make me go I can see though as tough as her dad is
36:50 I also see why she loves her dad especially knowing that she's adopted by them you know like
36:57 I and I got none of those shades other than other than the montage when she's a child of like hey
37:03 look we're getting along but as far as their actual relationship goes I really do think it lacked
37:09 like I don't even call like a single scene yeah it didn't take anything big either you could have
37:16 had something like really small like maybe her dad like going to knock on her door and like walking
37:20 away or something or like feeling like a they showed like a little bit of sense of shame but
37:24 yeah it got more in private though yeah in private exactly like that stuff that necessarily she had to
37:29 see but yeah I can't I'm trying can't remember if there's any nuance within the parent characters
37:35 within the actual show but I think it definitely needed some for sure because you know I either
37:41 want her to like get entirely out of that situation or you know maybe her parents come to some sense
37:46 of of clarity or some sense of light realizing like they've been so shitty to their daughter
37:51 you know like maybe they can repair their relationship but I take it that's probably
37:55 not what's gonna happen but yeah something else I would like to see is like a more
38:02 connected point to where we are in the show like a glimmer of hope that she does find like a sense
38:07 of community and finds a sense of of promise or hope beyond the scenario she just came into you
38:15 know like maybe she meets some of the heroes that she's on the team with you meet her in episode two
38:21 of Invincible she's already part of the team I was like okay I would have liked to see like some sort
38:25 of how she became part of the because there's a teen what I forget the name of it the teen team
38:30 or something like that yeah yeah yeah also why she went from like wearing a mask to not wearing a mask
38:35 I didn't get that either I wish we would have learned that and how she and how she met her who
38:39 was her boyfriend uh Rex yeah yeah I mean I guess we don't really need to see all that I think it
38:46 was really cool to actually keep it I feel like it would be cool to go like a part two of the special
38:51 if anything because I think what they decided to focus on for this specific chapter of her life is
38:56 is really compelling stuff like even when we were talking about stranger things the scientist is
39:02 like a nicer flip on Dr. Brenner yeah you know he was the scientist like oh I actually messed up here
39:09 I'm sorry I didn't need to look after you right instead of just trying to uh hone in on what you
39:14 are and make you a an awesome weapon yeah you know that I sickly love at the same time I like the way
39:20 they I like the relation I like that character um and I liked how they kept everything in the
39:24 perspective and also the potential like oh maybe maybe this is someone who can help in the fight
39:30 against because in season one when it ended it was a Seth Rogen character and he was saying that more
39:35 of Omni-man's people are coming yeah yeah the Voltramite something like that victory yeah yeah
39:42 victory boulevard yeah uh sweet sweet victory uh yeah they're coming and you see how oh maybe she
39:51 does him then again everyone seems like they have potential I mean she's got this like because they
39:56 do have that tease about if she can unlock what's in that subconscious she might have the ability to
40:00 actually rival some of the power sets here yeah and we saw she's gone to the witch and green lantern
40:05 in this marvel on the one and and uh dr manhattan and dr manhattan so wait did she go to that super
40:11 nova state in the show proper I can't remember no idea okay because I think it's interesting if she
40:17 did or if she hasn't yet that could be a potential tease for things to come that we haven't seen just
40:23 yet I imagine there is the entire comic book is done well neither of us have read the comics we
40:28 don't know what what is to come so please don't spoil it but um yeah we're not yeah we gotta like
40:33 not read the comments yeah but comment and leave your thoughts down below because it helps the
40:37 video out but yeah yeah I'm curious I'm curious but don't tell me if this is in the comics or not
40:44 or there's something strictly written for the show as like a little additional uh thing to add
40:50 flavor into uh what we're about to watch in season two yeah I thought it was interesting because I
40:55 from the poster or from like the thumbnail it made it seem like it was going to start with her
40:59 childhood or her like origins and then like lead into whatever season two to tease but this is
41:04 entirely took place in the past so theoretically you could just watch this prior to starting
41:09 invincible exactly and just like go in that's exactly that's yeah I mean no I mean it's just
41:14 the thing when you when you get to her and invincible it it informs you of the back you
41:18 just don't see how some of these relationships started but it informs you of it yeah yeah see
41:22 and this this is giving you a backstory that they only tease about being born in a lab and stuff
41:27 like that or a scientist experiment but as far as the story itself I thought it was paced really
41:32 well and there's it's tragic I love how tragic it is that is my that's the thing that's separate
41:38 truly separates it as well from just your typical origin story is just how freaking bleak it gets
41:46 you know and as some stuff feels a bit rushed over like oh the mom returning uh being in that
41:52 chamber like again a longer run time would have helped enhance these moments and could have brought
41:56 two things like I'm freaking crying right now because that that could have that could have had
42:00 room for some truly compelling moments could have had a stronger punch yeah yeah a lot of things
42:04 could have uh in that regard but I can't say like I was disappointed by the end and the and I'm not
42:10 just being nice about it like I'd be honest with you if I was like what the fuck but the the but
42:16 that the whole storyline I think was uh was truly something like so messed up and and I like how
42:24 messed up it ended like sometimes origin sales they do end on a note that has a and some type
42:29 of all those loss that really helps define the character sure but this is just like knockout
42:34 after knockout to this girl's life or identity and then coming to a home where it doesn't even
42:38 end on a cliche note of oh but I have my family here like no these guys are messed up you know
42:45 like she does not feel like home to her so it just ends on the darkest of notes and then you cut to
42:50 Mark's life which looks like the perfect family but no that's actually the truly sinister one
42:57 so I like the mirroring of that yeah you know so yeah I thought it was great man I thought it was
43:01 great yeah yeah maybe you couldn't watch this before because like the only man's whole emotional
43:07 range and you go and like what's that about but it's like it's like it's like 30 seconds
43:11 you get that part but you could just be like what does that mean what's the tease of what yeah
43:16 it doesn't give any exact detail or anything yeah yeah all righty guys well what did you think about
