The think edits are also pretty great
 
No idea how the comic is paced but I really feel that showing Omni-Man as the villain in the first episode was a misstep. A little more mystery would have been nice because as it is episodes 1 and 7-8 are the only ones that actually feel like they have a plot, because all your doing is waiting to find out what his goal is.

omni man kills the guardians in issue 7. 3 issues later is when mark finds out about omni man killing them and its 2 issues later that the actual fight with mark happens. the inbetween is the funeral for the guardians, the part where they have tryouts for the new guardians, and omni man donutting the immortal. had the show have a similar pace to the comics, the scene with the guardians wouldve happened in episode 6 and the fight taking place on episode 8. so i'd say the show paced it out a lot better here.
plus it adds tension of making the audience ask what omni man's goals really are
 
I keep trying to find the image of the comparison between the Villurmites troops in the comic and the show, where the comic had them be all white men while the show had 1 in 10 be a white man.
The reason for it is that I came to the conclusion that this image is peak woke. The villains are nazis (at least by every criteria by the modern left) and the writers response to it was to make them racially diverse because "real eugenics driven society" would come out as diverse. ie, real nazism has never been tried.

The entire season's setup. It's painfully obvious to anyone who's read the comic. The ending montage of the season's highlights is also meant to clue you in that shit has only just begun, which it has.

Honestly that ending montage did pique my interest for a second season. Here's hoping it'll be entertaining but Amazon doesn't seem to have a great track record with multiple season shows.
 
Like other posts have said I enjoyed the main plot more than the teen drama. Although I found it very, comic book convenient that Omni-Man inactive, Mark runs into the cyclops alien who knew there was a Viltrumite on Earth but mixed up the planet with one that had similar sounding name (and only returns to Earth months later).

Space is a big place.
Also, he only knew when he went back to report he mixed up the planets.
 
Never seen a single episode but these memes are pretty spicy.

These edgye super hero comics are never what I want them to be. Watched a bunch of clips on YT on the off-chance this could be a decent The Boys replacement since that went straight down the gutter in S2.

Honestly I do just kinda want to see super hero fights, kinda like how only 5-10 minutes at best are worth watching in the Godzilla movies. Character stuff is fine, but I want to see the action figures slam against eachother. It's the good thing Man of Steel did.

Wokeness is "rent free" everywhere, because it's continually pandered by multitudes of large corporations and everyday people.
 
Dunno jackshit abt the show, but the memes are prty gr8. Remnds me of Abby choke posting(among other things) from last year.

It kinda makes me wonder how many people read the comic. Not that much, it seems.

It's quite amusing to hear people ask the question "can Omni-Man be redeemed?" when those who read the comic already know the answer.

Not just him, but his whole damn race-they become genuine protectors of the Earth by Issue 138.

I suppose this was how book-readers felt when they saw people watch the first four seasons of Game of Thrones, and people got attached to the likes of Ned Stark, Robb Stark, and Oberyn Martell.

Late I know but they keep doing it. They had at least one English voice actor for Hero Academia try to drum up "oh what could happen to this character" in the last season when then anime was 100 odd chapters ahead and they was fine.

But then again it worked on the GOT audience.

Beautiful. The internet gets to live another day.

I know plenty of fans of the comic but it fell out of favour for me a long time ago. I'll probably give the subsequent seasons a watch too but if I want to see morally grey superheroics I'll watch the Superman/Elite movie again.

This show is literally just a stupid version of Watchmen. It so clearly wants to be Watchmen, but its so far up its own ass it doesn't realize it has shit for brains.

Call me late all you want, but I got 4 episodes into this dogshit before I couldn’t take it and hopped on this thread to see if I was alone. Was still itching for more of the “superheroes but realistic” shtick that I liked in The Incredibles though and I saw this post plus the numerous others comparing this show to Watchmen.

I immediately went and ordered the graphic novel online in used condition for like 7 bucks. I finally finished it yesterday. It had a perfectly clean, empty wrapper of 5 Gum and a photo of some old fuck with a banjo hidden in the pages and it was one of the best goddamn comics I’ve ever read. Bless you guys.
