Hello internet! Welcome to Film Theory, the show that asks you to THINK, Matt Pat, THINK!

Today we're diving into the high-flying superhero splattering world of Prime Videos Invincible.

Yeah, believe it or not, there's an actual show here, it's not just a big old meme.

Guess what? That show? It is really darn good.

It follows the young, up-and-coming superhero Mark Grayson as he learns to use his powers

responsibly while also living up to the high expectations set by dear old dad Nolan. Sounds like

your classic superhero origin story, right? Wrong. You see, Daddy Dearest has himself a bit of a

dark side. Even though he's the Earth's strongest hero Omneman, underneath that friendly exterior,

Nolan is not the benevolent superhuman people Man, underneath that friendly exterior, Nolan is not the

benevolent superhuman people think he is. You see, Nolan is a viltrumite, a species of long-lived

and incredibly powerful aliens that believe in survival of the fittest. They killed off millions

of their own people until only the strongest survived. From there, they went on to form an

empire that wants to take over the entire galaxy. In other words, no one came to Earth not to save humanity, but to conquer

it, to subjugate it, preparing it for assimilation into his moustachioed alien empire. He starts

this process by murdering the world's greatest heroes, the Guardians of the Globe, and by the

end of the first season, his son Mark is the only thing capable of stopping him.

And let's just say that that family intervention doesn't go so well.

And this is where the meme we all know and love comes in.

When Omneman finally takes a break from pummeling his son, he tries one last time to get Mark

to understand his position.

You're fighting so you can watch everyone around you die.

Think, Mark. Everyone and everything you know will be gone. What will you have after 500 years?
