In S1E3, Mark finally calls Amber.Īmber comes over for a study date, which is promptly interrupted by Cecil when Amber goes to the bathroom. In S1E2, she asked Mark’s friend William if he was dating Eve, and later she forced Todd to apologize for fighting Mark and used him as a courier to give Mark her phone number. I haven’t talked about Amber too much in the previous installments of these reviews since she has been a bit more peripheral to the plot up to this point. This episode marks both the formal beginnings of Mark’s relationship with Amber and the end of Eve’s relationship to Rex Splode. S1E3 examination of the superhero/secret identity duality is largely done through the romantic relationships of several of the main characters. The conflict between the Omni-man who plays to the crowd and decides that he knows what is best for the world and the family man Nolan speaking from the heart as he looks at his own family is at the core of his character, and these problems plague both the heroes and villains in the Invincible comic. That said, Nolan gives a second speech at a later, more private ceremony that comes across as much more sincere and solemn. I think that the speech would have likely rubbed me the wrong way even if Nolan hadn’t killed the Guardians while he does include his son and other “new champions” in the speech, it has a very “I alone can fix it” vibe to it. In this way, the speech is another part of the complicated relationship between Mark and his father: Mark looks up to his father and models himself as a superhero on him, not knowing that his father murdered the Guardians.

Throughout the conclusion of the speech, the camera goes back and forth between Nolan and Mark, as if he is speaking directly to him. But in those moments, have faith, and look to the sky.” I could be wrong, but essentially telling an audience attending a memorial that “I’m going to take their place” does not seem like the most tactful decision. You will have moments of doubt, of fear, of uncertainty. New champions ready to risk everything to keep this planet safe, all inspired by these great souls who came before us. The ending of his speech is clearly meant to be inspirational and uplifting (including Omni-man literally uplifting himself by flying away at its conclusion) however, since the audience knows that Omni-man is the person who murdered the Guardians, it comes across as more foreboding and self-serving: “e are left to wonder, who will save us now? I will! And so will others like me. During the memorial, Omni-man gives a eulogy that is televised across the globe (pun intended). Instead, the episode begins with a memorial for the Guardians of the Globe. Invincible S1E3 “Who You Calling Ugly?” begins differently than the previous two episodes: we aren’t treated to a framing sequence with Jon Hamm’s Steve outside of the home of another head of state. The following contains spoilers for the first two episodes of Invincible, S1E3, and the Invincible comic book.
