MOVE 1: In the animated tv show series Invincible: the main protagonist Mark grayson an ordinary teenager soon discovers he has developed his vultrimite powers from his father. He soon becomes part of the superhero team(The Guardians of the Globe) and tries to protect planet earth from danger. Omni-Man also known as Nolan Grayson is a full vultrimite who was sent to conquer planet earth but witholds his plans as he trains his son to understand his powers. Ultimatley at the the end of season 1 mark has to fight his father inorder to protect humanity. In season 2 of Invincivible, the story continues from the previous season and the aftermath of omni-Mans rein; mark struggles to return back to his superhero days.

Move2: In this episode new characters are introduced such as Angstrom Levy a scientist with the ability to access any dimension; he stated that in almost every world Mark teams up with his father and conquers earth. The episode in particular is centered around trust and moral responsibility as Mark struggles to trust himself worry he may end up like his father. This causes him to become isolated and breaks his relationships with his friends.

Move 3:As the episode progress, Mark cant find peace with himself as he struggles to cope with all the deaths of past civilians he was responsible for. This ultimately affects his fighting capabilities and he almost ends up dying. Another character cecil;head of the Guardians of the Globe discourages Mark from joining the team as he witnesses the emotional breakdown and mark and encourages him to take a break and some time off.

Move 4:The show is quite similar to any superhero show:which involved choosing the right and wrong path;probably more on the spiderman-side”with great power comes great responsibility” Mark struggles to carry this weight on his shoulders as his father shows him a new path to the vultrimite empire which involves taking over earth.

Move 5:Invincible is one of the most underrated animated tv series of all times and maintains the show reputation with quality animation derived from the comics. It explores the themes of heroism and the ethical responiciiblies a hero must carry. Mark can only do much and it only questions the audience whether he will defeat his father or join him.

  1. I really liked your description of the plot because I watched season 1 a while ago but forgot most of it, and your description helped me remember the gist of the show.

  2. I like how you broke down the TV series down into brief sections that would make people who have not watch the show get a good understanding of what went on. Furthermore, I liked how you analyzed the show explicitly showing the different moves along with it being executed perfectly.
