New adult cartoon series on Amazon.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invincible_(TV_ser...
It's very good, reminds me of The Boys mixed with a bit of One Punch Man and a hint of old Saturday morning cartoons.
Only 3 episodes out so far but I'm already hooked.

I finished it last night, well the first series anyway.
I really enjoyed, as mentioned above, some of it is brutal in places, especially the last episode.
There were some small things which annoyed me about it though, like when Omni man has to punch a humanoid robot numerous times to make any impact, but in another scene with one punch he can crack a mountain in two. There was another scene where Omni man was flying to his son, and his ETA for the couple of hundred mile flight was 5 minutes or so, yet he can divert to a satellite in space in a couple of seconds.
There was no consistency with their strength or speed.
Apart from that, looking forward to any future series of it.

Yay! New trailer for Season 2, with a cast list and a release date of November 3rd
There's also an Atom Eve prequel episode on Prime https://watch.amazon.co.uk/detail?gti=amzn1.dv.gti...
Can we add Peter Cullen to the list of people who must be protected at all costs, just for being the voices of Optimus Prime, Eeyore, K.A.R.R, the Predator and many other things, the guy is a legend

Only watched the first of the new episodes so far but it was soo good, this show just continued to deliver plus it's an hour an episode which is brilliant.
Having only seen the first of the 3 new episodes that are on Amazon right now, I will say it's a bit disappointing that the thumbnails seem to spoil the episode I've just watched. The ep ends with three of the Guardians being brutally killed back on earth, yet the thumbnails clearly show one of them back alive and kicking. A minor moan as this show continues to surprise us with who is and isn't dead (glad Alan isn't a goner) but still. Surely there's another shot they could have used for the thumbnail that doesn't contain one of them (I'll probably eat my words if it's just a flashback scene!)

I think all streaming services are guilty of this to some degree.Having only seen the first of the 3 new episodes that are on Amazon right now, I will say it's a bit disappointing that the thumbnails seem to spoil the episode I've just watched.

I try not to look at thumbnails or read the episode synopsis, but sometimes it can't be helped.
(I still think the worst example of a spoiler is the VHS for Planet of the Apes, which had the big reveal of the final scene on the cover. Sure, we all know, but it's possible you might have rented it in the 90s without knowing how it ends.)

Yep, a classic one right there!I try not to look at thumbnails or read the episode synopsis, but sometimes it can't be helped.

We had to sit through the "Civil War" & the new Ghost Busters trailers when we went to see Dune 2 - basically showed the entire plot of both films and both looked quite weak offerings
