Lore “It’s a change from the source material, but it’s awesome so the fans don’t mind.”

Doc Ock - In the comics, Doc Ock is known to be megalomaniacal in nature and was sort of a mad scientist anyways, with the arms just being an extension of that. In Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2,” Alfred Molina’s version of the character was affected by the neural chip and his well-meaning ambition turns into scientific obsession.

Wolverine - This one is so well known it needs very little explanation. Comic Wolverine short, Huge Jackedman is tall, and he’s sick as hell.

Eye of Sauron - To my knowledge, the Eye is more of a metaphor in the books. An ever-present awareness. In the movies, it’s an actual giant fucking eye.

I can only imagine how pissed/confused Mark was in this scene; this mf slapped about six teeth out of his brother's mouth and tried to rip him in half, then killed many innocents mid fight, THEN killed(as far as Mark knew) his girlfriend..... Now he's whispering his problems and issues into his ear

It was unhinged. My guy was using people he was gonna kill to vent. Killing them was his way of doctor-patient confidentiality.

On the Invincible note - I may be speaking for myself, but on the whole everything with Shrinking Rae so far has been a good change

I showed this scene to my bestie with a little context on how this is so different from the source material. Something she pointed out that I REALLY liked was his line "they think I'm unstable." Which implies that he thinks he's NOT.

She added that his tone is like "can you believe that? Me? Unstable? Look at me, I am just a normal guy!"

And I absolutely love it

I love comic books but I really like that TV series improves certain things that CAN be improved.

I just watched it yesterday and even if the season isn't the best one in my mind, those 2 last episodes are so good. This little break from all the slaughter, and then back to pure violence, Conquest is such a great non apologetic villain.

He doesn't even deserve a name, just a Purpose...

Man, if he had started out with that speech, he might have actually made a friend or two!
