i stopped after four episodes... this is just as bad and generic as any other modern DC and Marvel production or life action version of the Boys. Pandering, preaching, woke and dull with some blood and edgy scenes. Promoting toxic 4th wave ofi stopped after four episodes... this is just as bad and generic as any other modern DC and Marvel production or life action version of the Boys. Pandering, preaching, woke and dull with some blood and edgy scenes. Promoting toxic 4th wave of feminism or fake hacks like Coates. Voice acting is ok probably but also nothing really special and mediocre compared to any japanime. So if you want to be lectured by some more propaganda go and watch it... for me its hard pass, just another western failed propaganda product.… Expand

The show mistakes "being gory" and showing violent murder with "adult animation". There is nothing adult about the story. The characters were written by children, the stories are written by children. I'm not even sure I can call them stories.The show mistakes "being gory" and showing violent murder with "adult animation". There is nothing adult about the story.

If you are 12 years old, not specially smart, and think that Mortal Kombat fatalities are so dope and watching them makes you feel like a grownup despite your mom explicitly forbidding you, then this show is for you!… Expand

This show has quality/cast but it's just a Western Saitama that takes itself seriously and by doing that it becomes the cringiest thing I've seen. Suddenly Superman doesn't seem that bad anymore.

Terrible.

Another example of something committing the cardinal sin of entertainment. Being boring. Its hard to find a reason to root for these dollar store knock offs of DC comic heroes. The comic books do so much better of a job drawing theTerrible.

Another example of something committing the cardinal sin of entertainment. Being boring. Its hard to find a reason to root for these dollar store knock offs of DC comic heroes. The comic books do so much better of a job drawing the reader in than this show does entertaining its audience.

The trope of super heroes in high school is WELL worn territory and Invincible does very little to separate itself out from the tropes it leans on.

The sad thing is there is a LOT of talent in this production. The animation style is somewhere between DCAU & contemporary anime. The cast are skilled actors in their own right. The problem is that all the acting talent in the world cant make a dog of a script good.

Then there is THIS specific script. Dont expect to come in seeing something akin to an animated version of The Boys. While the first episode panders to that demographic it quickly abandons it in favor of something far more repulsive. Had they stuck to the source material a little more faithfully this show might not be that bad. There are a few genuinely good moments. Overall though the show feels bland and generic most of the time.

Then there is the elephant in the room. The woke sociopolitical commentary lecturing you inside your entertainment. This seriously has to stop. Its ruining everything it comes in contact with its toxic rhetorical ideology. Many of these characters are already panning out to be shells of their source material. Normalizing hate filled rhetoric like 4th wave feminism. It also seems like there is a set up in the works for a big reveal that greatly diverges from the source material that has yet to be unfolded. Purely speculation at this point and Its best left at that for now.

Had it not been for the hateful preaching the show would have came away with a run of the mill 5/10 OK, nothing great. Nothing you havent seen done MUCH better elsewhere. The toxic agenda being preached however knocks 4 points off the score leaving it at a very appropriate 1/10. Honestly the only thing that merits the 1 point is the voice acting. Everything else is either bland or terrible.

Now, that is based only on the first 3 episodes. If the remainder of the season reigns that in, Ill gladly edit the review and adjust my score accordingly. Otherwise, based on the first 3 episodes unless you are an avid fan of this comic book, just skip SuperWoke all together.

You've seen better and this is both boring AND preachy. That is the last thing anyone wants from their entertainment.… Expand

Edit/Update: You can just about ignore everything below. This series ends up as murder porn. If you get off on that, you can add 2 points to my review.

Original review:
For a show that tries to develop the idea that everything isn't necessarily good or bad and that there are grey areas, apparently being woke is good and a straight white male makes you spoiled, stupid and evil.

Now I'm not dinging the show more than a point or two for it's overstuffed political crap, but be warned, if you aren't a CNN watching bot, you might be bothered.

The first episode is actually an emotional roller-coaster. Things turn around amazingly fast at the end of it making you brace yourself for an exciting season. Unfortunately, you will be disappointed.

The problem is the rest of the episodes just sort of sputters along waiting for the finale that goes nowhere. Story threads are started and aren't resolved.

On the whole it is some good action scenes with everything in between a boring waste of time. Not recommended.… Expand
