IN 1x7

Quite literally her bf lied to her continuously for months and stood her up all the time and he waited until he was going to lose her to admit it. As a black woman I feel like they vilify her a lot for no really good reason. Truly if a man stood me up and kept making empty promises I’d be angry.

The real controversy with Amber comes from was the way she acted at the college. If she knew he was Invincible, she knew he didnt run but instead risked his life to save her and William. But she acted as though he had fled like a coward, and accused him of running away and abandoning her. And that's just a lie. A total manipulation, and very weird for her to treat that as the final straw if she already figured it out weeks ago." If they had cut that, or been smarter with the dialogue so that she hints at knowing, or structure her words so that she only brings up his lying, it could work. But I think that scene in Episode 6 was written at a different time than this confession scene, and they didn't think about how that would look. Plus, it means she's mad at Mark for missing dates in order to SAVE LIVES. Amber wouldn't do well dating a first responder.

It was the way she acted abandonded at the college. If she knew he was Invincible, she knew he didnt run but instead risked his life to save her and William.

LuxLoser

It does. Not everything but it sure helps amplify it.

Dude what u on. it got nothing to do with race TF

FallinSon76

Would love an arcane season two reaction if you guys find time!

Cody Simpson

I remember most of the backlash being from how Amber in the show is not like the comics Amber; and they made her purposefully unlikeable for most.

Snow

BTW they nerfed omni man heavily in the comics he doesn't fight the guardians what happens is he kills them in a single panel

Stephan Braham

a new trailer for arcane season 2 just dropped!! It would be so cool if you reacted to that!!

charley

@Katsuki I’m already going to hell, might as well take the express 😛

James Jones

Nah. IF anything, they were too lenient. It's called being accountable for your actions. She got mad for no reason at all and expected Mark to just take it. Fuck that.

Zyrus

Robots story reminded me a lot of Mechamaru trying to get a ‘new body’ but super different means.

Eileen Hinman

I get it. He's just such a likable character even while he's doing bad things, that you want him to be a good guy.

Macarthius

I definitely felt that about Amber the first time I watched. After a 2nd watch I feel like people were definitely too harsh. Even if her being angry about it wasn't entirely justified, sometimes emotions are just like that. However because everyone thinks Mark and Eve should be together, I think it's also because people just want that instead.

Macarthius

Yeah it's sort of a seemingly innocuous change, like "Oh Amber is smart, she probably could put 2 and 2 together to notice that a new teenage superhero is getting increasing coverage right around the same timings as Mark getting really flakey". Which makes sense, but then it just really recontextualizes her actions at the college, and maybe even farther back, as being way more underhanded and manipulative than they probably should have been.

David L

Robot lacks social awareness so while his intentions may be good, it's definitely still kind of creepy from an outside perspective.

Macarthius

I'll say it again and again. Amber is trash

Nicholas

Except the show is portraying it as a romance type deal; and he IS going about it in a REALLY creepy way. You can in no way portray stealing someone's DNA to turn yourself into a kid version of them, as not being creepy.

Snow

sorry but i just dont like amber

chris

nah, mark was shitty for not immediately helping william. like its not even debatable.

pilbil

Also it was really cute seeing Montana try to think of SOME WAY that Omni-mans slaughter of the guardians of the globe to be justified.

Devon P

super excited for y'all to get to the atom eve special

Yazmeen V.

Ah yes the episode that REALLY turned the fan base against the shows version or Amber.

Devon P

Any chance of a double drop/early drop? If not it's fine.

MattyG

Theyre not ready dude

Daran Tung

I kinda feel like y'all are massively exaggerating on why robot chose rex as his body, it was definitely fucked up and weird but it wasn't because of some weird romance aspect, monster girl thought rex was interesting so he chose his DNA, he chose a child version so that monster girl doesn't feel alone, my point is that romance was never the primary reason for what he did and i don't want y'all to think of him as a sort of creep

Fries

Rex Splode is an absolute asshole but damn if he isn't hilarious 😂

💥Katsuki BakuGONE💥(Kacchan)

Omni man is such a bizarre character to me. Everything screams villain but there’s just something so sympathetic about the way JK Simmons plays him that makes me want to forgive him???!!

Golden Witch Beatrice

I don't know what you're talking about it ends peacefully with Omni-Man training his son

Blaster man1129

Damn James you're bad for that one LOL

💥Katsuki BakuGONE💥(Kacchan)

I never noticed that Eve has teen team merch LOL that coffee mug is a fun Easter egg

💥Katsuki BakuGONE💥(Kacchan)

I like how this whole time neither of yall thought that robot’s interest in monster girl was simply just a little crush lmao, I think it was obvious when robot choose rex to clone when he saw that he and monster girl were bantering

Scar

Upon rewatch one of the most unsettling things about Robots actions is that the scene where he takes Rex’s dna is immediately after Rex made it clear he was weirded out with Robot assuming he liked monster girl… Just the thought of a 30 yr old hearing an 18 yr old be uncomfortable with the idea of being into someone who looks 14 and STILL cloning their body without consent for a related purpose is so crazy in retrospect. Like for as much as Rex can be a jerk I was glad he called out how weird and creepy that was.

zzsaturn

Dude that's wrong...why am I laughing so much?! 🤣😅

Jinchuriki87

I keep seeing comments like this a lot on videos, and Kenny kind of replied to someone already about it, but it’s clear through reactions they’ve done in the past that Montana can relate to an overbearing father with ridiculous expectations. And since in mha, we’ve seen that relationship be explored, of course she’s going to have a stronger opinion on him. And also, they’re fictional characters, which means everyone connects and relates to ones that resonate more with them. Same way some people love Bakugo while others hate him. Try and look at it from that perspective

Danny C

NGL the amber thing is more about her being mad mark ran away…knowing he was going to save lives!! It’s not sexist backlash just bad character writing, they changed her from the comics and it just upset a lot of people bc amber was actually a pretty great gf to mark so it sucks when she gets mad at him for literally saving people!

Kilonzo

Choo chooo

James Jones

I think another problem is that Amber's reasons could have been a lot better. If she had pointed out that Mark was only revealing it now to get out of an argument or that he used far too much time getting full costume during the cyborg incident.

Darthwin Wright

oh we’re about to see PEAK next week

mal

It’s not a matter of Mark being a bad person for saving lives; you can be the best person in the world and still be a bad partner, which Mark pretty objectively is. Morality alone =/= compatibility. You can’t have a functional, healthy relationship if one party cannot commit to the other and one party is consistently left emotionally neglected. It just doesn’t work in the long term.

James Jones

Oh boy, you guys are not ready for the season finale!

Saw Meadow

1 murder is a tragedy. 500 murders is a statistic. Omni Man's crimes are on such a big scale it is hard to personalize or relate to them. Endevor's crimes hit a lot more at home for a lot of people and it's a different type of evil.

Suplee215

Well she doesn’t know Omni mans whole story, she was wondering if he was forced or something. And also like someone else said, child abuse is much more realistic and triggering than an evil alien man tryna take over earth

Big K

I do think you should look more into the Amber discussion. I think the question is valid on its surface but in the Fandom there is another issue that this becomes a bit of a proxy war for. To be blunt, in the comics Amber was white and not a small part of the fans of the show were looking for a reason to dislike the TV version. Not saying everyone was but there is an element of the stupid "culture war" going on with this.

Suplee215

28:24 I should point out that Robert Kirkman (Creator of Invincible) is actually a big Transformers fan!

Saw Meadow

Cus Endeavor was a horrific and abusive father to todoroki

Big K

Fun fact a lot of people hate amber and don't like how marks friend took her side cause she should've known a secret identity isn't lying or treating her wrong no one wants them to be together

blue_haruki

It’s kinda funny, everyone else is arguing and going through like serious relationship issues while eve is just living her best life in a tropical forest

Big K

Because child abuse is more realistic and more immediate of a danger, so he's easier to hate than someone who simply lies for a long period(because they at least left good memories)

Shana

Idk why but the way Nolan was looking at mark with those bloodshot eyes was horrific

Big K

Definitely think that she maybe wasn’t the most emotionally fair to him in terms of like, how harshly she phrased things let’s say, but I do think her being hurt and frustrated is valid and also that her breaking up was at this point clearly the best thing for both of them. I remember she got a lot of hate when this aired but to me she’s clearly an average hurt, emotional, slightly irrational teenager dealing with the incredibly bizarre circumstances that come with a world full of super-people. also remember she said the first time he bailed on her that she had been treated similarly in the past and didn’t want to be again, only for Mark to make choices — not the selection of choices he would have preferred to have but choices that he made — which perpetuated that exact dynamic

I hate how amber ignores the fact that Mark has been saving lives and acting like it doesn't matter in comparison to this excuse of an relationship. Like there are bigger problems than this. And I hate that his friends gaslights him into thinking he's a terrible person who's been stringing Amber along when that was never Mark's intention at all cuz he's again saving lives and being a hero.

Kalla

Could we get a double drop even if you skip next Monday to keep the schedule
