Nischal Niraula is a Features Writer for Collider and he loves the fact that half of his job entails binging on movies and TV shows. He fell in love with stories as a 3-year-old who would eat only after his mum narrated elaborate, made-up tales. Now, as an adult, he eats only after finding the perfect show or a movie to accompany his meal.

The Big Picture It's rare to see a TV adaptation of a comic book that does justice to its source. It's even rarer to see the adaptation improve upon its source. But Prime Video's Invincible pulls off this miraculous feat with effortless ease. To those who have read the comics, the show has a tendency to feel like a highly edited and polished final version of a previously flawed draft.

This sense of trepidation also has to do with how the violence is depicted in a truly visceral manner. The comic isn't rainbows and sunshine either, but it spares its readers the gritty details of violence, whereas the show goes all out in its depiction of gore. For example, the scene where Omni-Man slaughters the Guardians of the Globe is mostly glossed over in the comics, and the readers are only allowed the aftermath of the gruesome battle.

The show, however, doesn't make its viewers wait as long. The show integrated the beginning, middle and end of the Sinclair plot into a single episode. This approach remedies the problem in two ways. Not only does it demand the complete immersion of the audience into the story, but it also makes Mark seem like a good friend with a sense of urgency to save his friend, rather than a sloppy superhero who waits for months before getting to an important task at hand.
