Invincible Season 2 vs The Marvels

On an all-new, all-different episode of The Superhero Show Show, the Taste Buds are weighing in on Invincible season 2, while also talking themselves off of the “MCU is dead” ledge and convince each other that The Marvels isn’t that bad.

What’s Going On Invincible Season 2?

The first episode of the new season of Invincible had a lot of heavy lifting to do, with what’s left of the Grayson family picking up the pieces after the betrayal of Nolan, aka Omni-Man. The second one doesn’t forgo all of that, but it does remind viewers that the show can also be one of the funniest superhero satires of all time, relaying more on creativity and character than fourth wall breaking and snark.

Is Invincible Season 2 As Good As Season 1?

Hard to tell so far, but we’re off to a good start. The Taste Buds help each other remember what happened in the first season (thanks “previously on’s!”), pick out their favorite funny moments, and slobber over the subtle voice work being done here, particularly by Sandra Oh.

What Else Do They Talk About Besides Invincible Season 2?

Then, Ryan and Mike went to see The Marvels this week, and they might have been the only ones. They attempt to put the speed bumps the MCU is going through aside and discuss the quality of the film, which is nowhere near as bad as anyone has heard. However, it is probably time for the content-factory approach, with the fix-it-in-post attitude, to go by the wayside. It’s probably also time to stop not putting Iman Vellani in everything they make.

All of that, plus a quick Fear the Walking Dead update, and so much more!
