ITT: characters who won

She cheated on him numerous times. I don’t see how this is winning?

She can stay 19 forever and Mark is essentially immortal

She can stay 19 forever

More like she can return to 19 once she hits 70.
She still spends most of her life being old.

You'll understand when you're older, youngblood.

Bro, staying with a cheater isn't winning. It's losing. Especially if she aborted your kid.

she can just jump off a building when she hits 30 and reset the clock early

essentially immortal

millions of years as the undisputed dictator(benevolent) of multiple galaxies with your functionally immortal human wife
die
suddenly meet all your dead ancestors in whatever the viltrumite afterlife is
even if your functionally immortal human wife dies she will go to heaven(or maybe hell?) instead
#winning #tigerblood

is this how the comic ends?

People don't understand what cheating means

Yes. Mark becomes the Emperor of the Viltrumites and leads a new age where they spread peace throughout the galaxy and use their power to end wars and supply planets with the necessary resources to be self sustaining. When Eve dies of old age she regenerates back into her body from her early 20s, making her literally immortal, so she can live a long and happy life with Mark and their child, and the series ends with that panel of him remembering what his dad said, and now that it's 500 years later he has a family and an empire that not only worships him but respects and admires his compassion as a leader. Mark literally gets the best ending possible. He won.

Sounds twee.

I don't like invincible, but he really won. Wow

the immortal cuck won guys!!!!!

I prefer how cut and dry it is. It feels FINAL, like a real ending should. Capeshit always feels like it needs to keep going. They always leave room for more. Invincible doesn't. It tells it's story and leaves nothing on the table. It's less than 150 issues. Literally the perfect length for the story it tells. The show might be a bit sloppy and the comic isn't perfect, but as far as capeshit goes, Invincible should be the industry standard for telling a narrative and giving a super hero an actual character arc. Solid 8/10

eventually the viltrumites will be breed with humanity
what if despite making 13 percent of population viltrumites make up 50 percent of the crime

cuck

could literally have any woman he wants

consensually or by force

Mark bred a white redhead and was raped by another woman who just HAD to have his seed. He won.

He's like Superman, except he actually improved everything for everyone everywhere instead of standing in front of American flags looking righteous.

kids never been able to inherit the place of their parents is a recipe for disaster, Kirman can't even begin to comprehend the implications of immortally

This, there's hints of Girl Battle Beast and Anton Levy Jr., but that's stuff in the future of Marky and the rest, Mark gets his deserved Best Ending.

Multiple times? I only recall that blue alien guy. And she only hooked up with him because she thought Mark was dead after he disappeared for years.

This would be a problem if everyone were made Immortal, and not just a few hundred Superman types. The cosmos is vast, it would take a million years for them to expand enough to become cramped and idle in our galaxy, and there are millions of galaxies.

Also, children don't want their parent's "place", they want their own place, their own achievements.

It's a stuck up story written by a hack who thinks he's better than the genre while missing the point of it entirely. Got it.

But enough about Superman...

You see, the real point of Superman is fighting the same 5 villains over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over anand over and over and over and over d over and over and over and over and over in an eternal battle with extra property destruction.

American standards.

It’s cool that Mark actually takes charge, changes things for the better and helps his setting unlike corporate Superman.
It is pretty hypocritical though and strange considering his attitudes for most of the series.
Like he gets holier-than-thou at Oliver for killing the Mauler twins - some of the scummiest villains in the series - and the story tries to present Oliver like a loser and a dumb idiot for doing this while not being the main character, then Mark just goes ahead and does the same thing himself and it’s ok now because he’s the main character

That's not the point since that's not how it works, it's not about physical space but how such a society would even function. We have children so they can replace us one one point, give over our reign so to speak, if they can't there will be violence.

Like he gets holier-than-thou at Oliver

He was still trying to live the comic book morality dream at that point. And everything past that is wake-up calls to the hard reality that being superhuman doesn't buy you special privileges to be wantonly murderous and just suffer detainment.

They weren’t even officially together either. He was courting her but there wasn’t a breakup or anything, when Mark came back he was still asking her to give him a chance

Uggh why isn't comic book hero man doing real things for real people like myself.

it's not about physical space but how such a society would even function

Through infinite expansion. There's a finite limit to how much territory even SuperMark can rule and maintain order in; he's neither omniscient or omnipotent. They have the entirety of infinite space to expand and create their own thing in.

Isn't this ending literally what the viltrumites wanted in the first place?

Ugh, why doesn't hero man kill Evil Guy after the 13th time he kidnaps and tortures his family/attempts to atomize the city.

"Tyranny is good as long as the tyrant is a good guy" Chads win again.

Oliver actually helps influence that part of Mark. After his fight with Conquest he tells Eve flatout that sometimes murder is necessary if someone is trying to hurt the people he loves. He inadvertently caused the Invincible War by not finishing off Angstrom Levy when he thought he had killed him, and by the finale he kills a young Viltrumite hybrid, Thragg's child, right in front of him.

They always leave room for more. Invincible doesn't.

Ehhhh, it definitely introduces some new plot threads at the very end like the kids of Battle Beast and Angstrom Levy, but that's more of a "the adventure always goes" and less of an actual cliffhanger we're meant to actually see resolved.

Vitrumites wanted dominance purely to rub their asses in everyone's face, they didn't give much of a shit about anyone's welfare. They would kill populations of cities out of pure spite, as they did Nolan's bug waifus planet. These were people who's culture was founded on killing the bulk of their own population in an "Only the strongest deserve to live" battle royale.
They were constantly violent dicks because they could be with impunity.

But they won't have their own place if their parents never retire, that's the point, because they will be regulated all their lives. Imagine having still to give a fuck about what your great-great-great-great-great-grandfather has to say just so you can live your own life with the alternative being to to leave this society.

Yes, but Mark is doing peacefully now.
If they refuse to join their empire, they'll just let them die.

Fair. I suppose it just felt strange to me because Mark never had a moral crisis point where he decided Omniman was right and such. He kinda just drifts into the position of Thragg 2 without appreciating the shift

Mark simply rules the core of Galaxy A, (really just a federation of known planet s within Galaxy A).
You have literally the other 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of the universe to do your own thing, as long as you don't fuck with Mark's Federation.

*though imo that is more realistic. People don’t usually have one big decision moment that changes them forever

Maybe one's who didn't outwardly say it. Viltrumites Nolan's age and younger are born and indoctrinated into having Thragg's philosophy on culling the weak and chasing complete omnipotent power. Thr Viltrumites would have gone extinct if not for Nolan and eventually Mark becoming their leader and having them learn to love, and having chilren with other species like humas. Multiplying their numbers drastically while limiting casualties from the constant desire for bloodshed. They didn't know what they truly wanted until Nolan showed them, since Nolan was the only living Viltrumite to raise a child the way he did with Mark. People like Thragg and Conquest probably are incapable of seeing that far ahead since all they truly understand is violence. So is it what they wanted? Maybe not before but it's what they all want now. They got Earthcucked

Mark realized within the final conflicts with Thragg, as per this very page, , that Nolan was putting everyone's interests before his own, and thereby finding purpose and inner peace.
The whole series is about Mark learning what to actually do with the power of Superman, because being a hero for fun is not fulfilling on any meaningful level.

Wait so should I read the comic because it sorta sounds kino.

It has it's high points and low points, but honestly you are at least as well off following the show rather than binging the comic book. The show is doing the comic 100% justice, and even improves on it in several ways.

Unlike say The Dark Knight Returns, in which the comic is 100% better with it's madlad Batman inner dialogue narration.

Man your daft but I guess that's expected from Anon Babbletards.
You either have the choice of living in a society where your immortal parents (and everyone else's parents and grandparents and so on) will always have and always will have all government power or you can fuck off to bumfuck nowhere and start inventing the fire again because guess what the immortal society will still decide if they give you some funding for your little kiddie space adventure they might really not like that much. What if they don't want to expand their territory so you can really have your own space? What are you going to do then?

ceremonial mustache

lel, is a bit silly but okay

It's not, the majority of the comic is forced conflict from characters acting stupid. Most of the appeal of the epilogue/ending is that it reuses a lot of the quotes and paneling from earlier chapters so the reader can feel a nostalgic "ooh he said that in Chapter 1!". It's a wholly below average comic, not bad, but certainly not good.

It's just an invincible thread

Shame

the majority of the comic is forced conflict from characters acting stupid

Just like real life!

or you can fuck off to bumfuck nowhere and start inventing the fire again

You can James T. Kirk it far beyond the boundaries of Mark's civilization, bang exotic alien chicks Marks never seen before, conquer barbaric alien waifu planets and establish another federation of worlds, maybe later extend trade to Mark's Empire, but don't go Hitler at him or he'll SKRAKKK you too.

Aspiring to nothing more than Mark's throne is pathetically limiting.
