Invincible Character Review pt.2

My last blog about this had way too many words, so I decided to do a part two. This one has my favorite character and my least favorite character.

Rex Splode

Rex Splode is a side protagonist that is on the Guardians of the Globe (the Justice League) who can turn anything he touches into an explosive. In the first season, he was funny, but he was not very likeable. His girlfriend was another side protagonist that I will go over soon, and he treated her badly, hence the reason he was not generally liked. He was very cocky and acted tougher than everybody else, but in the second season, he ended up getting a redemption ark that was very likeable. Many redemption arks I have seen have been bland and seem like the show is just trying to make a new likeable character to make more money, but this show makes his redemption ark better, and it makes a lot of sense. He slowly becomes better with time, and an important moment in the show shows him how bad of a person he was, and he realizes something must change before he hurts others. He keeps his cockiness for comedic affect, but he becomes a better hero who is way better to his friends in the end. 

Amber Bennet

An Invincible character overview is not correct until you go over how awful this character is. I am not sure if any of you have watched this show, but if you have, I am hoping you agree with me on this. Amber Bennet is a side protagonist that really feels like an antagonist at some points. She is the girlfriend of Invincible, and she really does not understand his struggle. I have tried to leave out spoilers in this overview but there may be a few here. When they start dating, Mark ends up leaving her alone on their plans a few times because of some important hero work that really needs to be taken care of. Invincible does not tell her that he is a hero in the beginning because he did not want anything to happen. So, you can understand why she gets upset with the constant change of plans, right? Wrong. When the balancing gets so tough for Invincible, he ends up telling her that he is a hero. And instead of finally understanding why he has been leaving her alone so often, she says that she knew he was a hero all along and that she is still mad. All because he was not honest with her. After he tries to explain why this was happening, she shuts him up and breaks up with him. The only reason they got back together was because his dad’s absence was covered up as his dad’s death and she felt bad for him. Thankfully, they finally officially broke up at the end of the second season. I have an undying hatred for this character, and I am so glad she is going to be seen a lot less.

Hi, I'm James but everybody calls me JT. I like to watch a lot of shows and movies. My favorite genre to watch and read is superheroes. My favorite shows include Attack on Titan, Invincible, and a lot of others that don't come to mind. I love Interstellar, the Spider-Man movies, Hancock, and too many others. My all-time favorite games are all the Spider-Man games. I've managed to platinum the Miles Morales games and I may have platinumed Spider-Man 2, but I am not sure. My hobbies are obviously gaming, watching football and baseball, and annoying my brother.
