Couldn't get past season 1 of Invincible. You won't like what I thought about it. But I'm a Superman fan who doesn't like excessive violence, so hopefully you can understand where I'm coming from.

    Nah, I get it. I wouldn't have gotten to season 2 if I had watched season 1 before season 2 was already out. Season 1 ended on the WORST POSSIBLE down note that they could, and I think they did that intentionally.

    Minor spoilers: it's not like they ended season 2 on a good note, just that Nolan and Markus do finally find a common ground against Nolan's objectives.

    It won't end in a satisfying way. They never do. Game of Thrones or The Boys or any violence-focused show. Terrible endings, all of them.

    EDIT: Breaking Bad did okay by killing everyone, including an unrealistic machine gun in the trunk.

    Maybe, maybe not. The Boys was written from 2006-2012 in comicbook form, and they followed all storylines almost exactly as written. The ending of The Boys was predetermined because they were adapting an already written story that they didn't want to change.

    Invincible was written over the timeframe of 2003-2014 in comicbook form. They have already ignored major plot points to make Invincible a bit more palatable to a wider audience. I suspect that they will end it in much the same way the original ended, with Nolan and Markus being the undisputed protectors of Earth, but not having any real power on Earth, via actual laws and standings.
