InvincibleSeason 2 is Darker thanThe Boys
The recent episode ofInvincibleSeason 2 revealed a harsh truth about superheroes. The point here to note is thatInvincibleisn’t a parody of the superhero genre, just like Amazon Prime Video’s other superhero series,The Boys.
It offers a more realistic perspective of the superhero genre, which emphasizes the societal issues associated with a world filled with superheroes. Recently, Atom Eve’s arc in the series highlighted the same. It showed how bad things could go if superheroes had actually existed in the real world.
There’s no doubt that Atom Eve is important toInvincible, but her character took a different turn in this season. Through her character, the season explored the superhero’s arrogance and the consequences of acting without oversight.
Because in these franchises (Marvel and DC), superheroes dabble into the areas they have no experience in – to save lives. And both the franchises consider it a noble thing. But it can cause more harm than good (if viewed from a realistic perspective).

As is already said, Robert Kirkman and Cory Walker’s comic series of the same name is one of the most realistic superhero comics. It is also an extremely gory and brutally violent series. Although the show has noble intentions, it is more realistic which makes sense.
The recent episode of Season 2 ofInvinciblegives a brutal reality check to the idea that superheroes in real life would cause more problems than they can actually solve.
The episode also shows how there is a need for substantial government infrastructure to regulate the actions of superheroes. Such oversight is necessary to prevent the unintended damage that could result from superheroes acting without proper guidance.
Season 2 ofInvincibleis available on Prime Video.
