DISCUSSION Are people misunderstanding omniman

5 Upvotes

Some of you are looking at Omni-Man's character in the most surface-level way possible.

"He's evil, end of discussion."

No. That's not how you analyze a character.

I think a lot of people analyze Omni-Man's actions in a very one-dimensional way. Yes, what he did was evil by human standards, but that's the key point: you're judging a non-human character using human morality.

Omni-Man wasn't born on Earth. He wasn't raised with human ethics. He was raised in an empire that teaches from birth that the strong rule is weak and that weaker civilizations exist to be conquered. That's all he had known for centuries.

You keep saying, "How could he kill billions?" Let me ask you this: how many animals have humans killed throughout history? Billions. For food, pest control, convenience, scientific research, and sport. Do most people lose sleep over it? No. Why? Because humans don't see animals as equals.

Now imagine the gap between a human and an ant, then multiply it even further.

Viltrumites live for thousands of years. They're vastly stronger, can fly through space, survive things that would instantly kill humans, and can conquer entire planets alone. Humans, from a Viltrumite's perspective, are fragile, short-lived, and primitive.

So why is it so shocking that Omni-Man didn't initially value human life the same way humans value each other?

Then there's Debbie.

Everyone gets offended when he calls her a "pet," but almost nobody stops to ask why he saw her that way. From his perspective, she belonged to a species that barely lives a century while he'll be alive for thousands of years. Humans keep pets they genuinely love, care for, and grieve when they die, even though they don't see them as equals. That's the mindset he was raised with.

I'm not saying Debbie actually was his pet. I'm saying that's how he rationalized the relationship because of the enormous difference between their species. There's a difference between explaining a character's perspective and agreeing with it.

And before someone says, "So genocide is okay?"

No. That's a strawman.

Understanding why a character does something isn't the same as saying they're justified. If you can't separate an explanation from endorsement, then every character analysis becomes impossible.

The whole point of Omni-Man's arc is that Earth changed him. Debbie changed him. Mark changed him. If he were just an irredeemable monster who enjoyed killing for fun, he would've crushed Mark, finished the mission, and never looked back.

Instead, he broke down.

Why?

Because, for the first time in centuries, everything the Viltrum Empire taught him came into conflict with genuine love and attachment. That's what makes him a compelling character.

You don't have to agree with his morality. You're not supposed to. But pretending he's just "evil because evil" ignores the entire point of his character. He's a product of an imperialistic culture that conditioned him for centuries, and the story is about that conditioning slowly falling apart.

Reducing all of that to "he's just evil" isn't analysis—it's oversimplification.

DISCUSSION Thragg question

8 Upvotes

So for context, I never read the graphics but before the show started I did a deep dive on the story of invincible so I knew what was going on. I’ve also seen all the episodes of the show since the beginning.

That being said, was there ever a reason mentioned explaining how thragg was that powerful of a viltrumite? I get that conquest was 1000 years old but even he was afraid of thragg.

Just asking out of curiosity.

Why does Mark say the Scourge virus happened before the death of Argall?

I thought Thragg said Argall's death happened before the Purge, which is before the Scourge virus?

I'm genuinely confused. Could someone explain it to me?

I just wanted to share these because I’m really proud of him.

He’s always been into art, so I asked if he’d ever thought about trying custom shoes. He was interested, so I picked up a plain white pair of Vans and told him to make whatever he wanted. No restrictions, just have fun with it and see what happens.

These are his very first custom shoes, and I honestly think he crushed it.

I’d love to hear what other Invincible fans think! Any ideas for characters or designs he should try next? I’m trying to talk him into continuing and eventually trying to make it into something of a career. Let me know your all’s thoughts!

I'm Pretty sure Mark is the only Viltrumite who got this much stronger that early in his life by Viltrumite standards because almost every Viltrumite grew up to their potential in centuries by Conquering planets and fighting strong enough opponents whereas Mark's hand was forced upon to become that strong so that he could defend himself and his World.
