[Brief] Thoughts on Film Theory's Analysis

I was gonna post this on my priv twt.. but moots convinced me to post it here so here we are.. beware of spoilers, gore, bla bla bla ..

FIRST OFF I'm gonna start by saying, I AM ESL. I may or may not have misinterpreted some of his words, but this is mainly how I thought of his analysis. This is not meant to be ill-guided or rude ! so sorry if it comes off as this way. I will be very repetitive.

Another thing, most if not all of the information matpat gave out i alr discussed with a few mutuals on discord about a few months back so this is not new territory to me 😭😭 I thought most folks would already knew the concept of how the brain deteriorates overtime But honestly, that indisposition shouldn’t even apply to omni man??? matpat tried to compare an immortal Viltrumite's psychology to that of an aging human's, which can be misguided.

Let's start by how he compares Nolan's brain to the average aging human's brain so the audience could understand his psyche more and how empathy declines overtime. First and foremost, Nolan is not a human, second; Nolan wasn't raised with empathy or around an empathetic environment - it was an alien concept to his race. Something frowned upon. He was raised from birth to conquer and destroy without remorse. His brain never developed those neural pathways for empathy in the first place. It's not that they deteriorated over time, they were never even formed.

By the time he came to Earth, all this familial stuff was new to him. Sure, he knew he was gonna outlive them, but He didn't think he'd get attached. HE didn't process that he'd grieve over them when the time came.

Interacting with humanity for the first time ignited unfamiliar emotions in Nolan that he didn’t know how to process.

His time living amongst humans caused conflicting feelings he’d never experienced in his centuries of systematic slaughter. Loving Debbie and Mark went against everything he was taught, but he couldn't help it. For once, the lives he was manipulating to further Viltrum’s goals meant something to him. He developed a [what he presumed, NOT what he felt about them in reality, his love for them is far more profound than he assumed it to be which we later on see in the last ep of s1 and the second season] petty facsimile of love for his ersatz family.

So no, his capacity for empathy didn't decline with age as MatPat claims. His empathy was stunted from the start. An underdeveloped skill, not a deteriorated one. We had characters like Debbie to help him understand those notions, help him grow it. With Mark in the mix? it only amplified that development.

Viltrumites are societally and culturally predisposed to violence and domination. Nolan was never accustomed to forming emotional connections or grieving loss. Those were entirely new experiences for him after arriving on Earth. He was not jaded. he was grown into jamais vu in viltrum.

This is why the whole conflict in s1 happened, he was treading between double lives he wasn't sure of. He was conflicted because his past values were refuting with his new experiences. He found love on Earth, he found himself unable to accept how he'd lose Debbie. Of How jaded Mark might become. Everything he said to Mark till that point was his own self-projections, his own fears, doubts.

While the video did provide some interesting facts about neuroscience and aging, the application of those facts to Nolan's character was inaccurate. IT is educational for those who don't know, but it isn't recent news that the brain begins to deteriorate overtime so this video wasn't that informative which kinda disappointed me. Their analysis lacked alot of information about the Viltrumite race and Nolan's character. Comparing him to humans with normal life experiences just doesn't work. His immortal nature combined with a lack of empathy from birth created a psychology unlike anything seen on Earth.

SORRY FOR RANTING ALOT AND OR IF IT SEEMS LIKE I'M GIVING MATPAT SHIT ... i really liked their analysis on immortal so i'll give them that. Immortal, unlike Nolan, was born human. He has lived among humanity for over 3000 years, inhabiting different identities of public and devoted historians. Because of this, his psyche developed quite differently. Immortal knows how to form connections, experience loss, and adapt to social changes. His perpetual existence didn't harden his heart like Viltrum's brutal culture did to Nolan. Instead, Immortal's immortality allowed his empathy and compassion to blossom.

Humans are social creatures. Our brains have evolved to seek out interpersonal relationships, crave affection, and find meaning in community. For an immortal like Immortal, social interaction is vital to staving off boredom, depression and detachment from humanity.

By inhabiting mortal lives, he stays tethered to the human experience. He continues learning, growing, and developing empathy.

This is why he's devastated when the guardians die.

This is also why he goes fucking mental and tries to kill Omni-man.

If Immortal had lived in isolation all this time, unable to connect with people, his psyche would likely resemble Nolan's more closely. Without social interaction, Immortal's brain would atrophy in ways that preclude complex emotions and moral reasoning. His sense of purpose would fade, achievements would lose meaning, and life itself might feel pointless. By engaging with humanity, Immortal gives his endless existence purpose and direction. He finds value in each temporary life, so loss still impacts him deeply. Socializing keeps his emotions and cognition flexible, which prevents the apathy and hardness of heart seen in Nolan. Nolan never had these opportunities in his early years, this is why it's more difficult for him to stray away from his indoctrination. It's that he's unused to it, underdeveloped.

60 years to Nolan would've been a year and a half, so what's 20 measly years on Earth for him? Yes, he found profound connections in that little speck of time, but Immortal's emotional capacity is far more extensive.

In summary, Comparing Nolan to a human, whether mortal or immortal, is kinda inaccurate. His Viltrumite psyche rules out him from possessing JADED human qualities. You could say he's desensitized to violence sure, but no.. unfortunately.. he does not have [boomer] brain. He has [indoctrinated alien-fascist brain]

Leave your own thoughts down below or through reblogs, I'm really interested on what others may think of this! (URGHHHNN... my hcs r slipping away from my fingers cuz now people r gonna accept what matpat says as truth.. someone gun me down from the hills..)

#ALSO my moots and I had all analyzed this vid and ironically enuff Matpat's analysis makes a hell of a lot more sense when applied to my OC #Aconite !! rather than her father nolan but i will discuss that in a separate post because ykno.. #this may or may not have been the worst take in existence.. i am prepared to be called a dumbass.. (i am not. i am sensitive..) #it is so jover for me.. i will need to change identities.. #invincible #omni man #mark grayson #omni man invincible #milky.txt #milkyrants #milkyrambles #invincible spoilers #nolan grayson #immortal invincible #ur honor omni man is cluster b coded and has ASD.. #IDGAFFFFF !!!!! *i scream aloud in my padded white room rocking back and forth in a straitjacket* #i think alot of people tend to forget nolan is an alien . so let me quickly remind you .! HE IS AN ALIEN.

Now that I’ve seen four different Transformers cartoons I thought it might be fun to rank the mainstays.

It’s been an interesting (and frustrating) experience! I’ll probably watch CyberVerse at some point, and possibly 2015’s Robots in Disguise, so I might update at some future point.

As for the ranking of the shows themselves

#Transformers #Maccadam #TFA #TFP #TFES #Frare watches the silly robot show #G1 #I also have ultimately decided I don’t have any real interest in the IDW comics #(Besides Thundercracker getting a dog) #But the Skybound ones look interesting? #In the “interesting scenes and concepts with a bunch of pointless shock value shit” #Like Invincible now that I think of it #Which makes sense #Anyway feel free to ask questions I’m very lonely #Long post

So, I think we can now feel 100% sure that Alastor HAS made a deal with someone, but not only do I now think it could be someone other than Lillith since she's up in heaven (but it still makes the most sense) - I also think it's very clear Alastor does GENUINELY care about Charlie and has been helping her and others not just for his own gain, but because he can. And THAT is what's driving him mad, and whoever has him in chains most likely doesn't want him getting attached or feeling sympathy for others.

He's been asked to do somebody's bidding, that's for sure, and part of the reason he'll have made a deal in the first place is to gain even more power for himself, hence why he's latched onto Charlie, daughter of THE most powerful overlords in Hell. His own agenda does certainly come into it and I believe he started this for selfish reasons, but now he's allowed himself to care too much, which is not only sending him crazy because it's changing him as a person, but he may well be terrified of the consequences based on whoever's controlling him.

His line in the finale song, "Sorry to disappoint", made me think he was certainly addressing his captor, not himself. He's SCARED AS FUCK, and that's making him lose it.

#this is just nonsensical rambling based on incoherent thoughts so i hope it makes sense #i'm so intrigued by alastor's lore and need to know EVERYTHING #i love that episode 8 showed us he's not entirely invincible and he has great weakness that he refuses to show #i want to squeeze him #this man may be a sadistic demon overlord but he's suffering and has shown potential to be redeemed #he deserves love :(((( #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel spoilers #alastor the radio demon #hazbin hotel alastor #ramble #thoughts #analysis #character analysis #alastor

Nico's love is so raw and heavy and powerful

His love raises the dead, tears open the earth, brings people back to life, goes through literal hell, destroys courtyards, grants invincibility.

Nico is so defined by loving and acting out of love and his love is so strong it changes the narrative

#nico di angelo #pjo #i understand myself okay this makes sense to me he loves reyna so much the second he finds out shes not there he wreks apart the courtyard #he loves bianca so much the ground shakes and breaks open before him he loves percy so much he figures out how to avoid the death they tho #was fated to happen by giving him invincibility literally enough power to defeat gods he loves hazel so much he takes her out of the under #world and makes sure shes alright in the surface he loves jason so much he brings the dead back while mourning him #do you hear me hes shaped by love #luna says

Replaying phantom hourglass and I really don’t think it’s fair to characterize Linebeck as a coward. Like yeah he doesn’t want to go into the dungeons or the temple of the ocean king, but the temple of the ocean king sucks the life out of you, you see skeletons and spirits of people who died in there. He actually did go in there by himself and got trapped. Another thing to keep in mind is that he’s a normal person, he doesn’t fight and he prefers the laid back lifestyle. Now he does want treasure and that gets him motivated, but that treasure is also in a life threatening ghost ship that takes victims here and there. It makes sense that he’s nervous about that.

Another thing to keep in mind is that when you do fight monsters and bosses in the sea, he’s not scared at all. He tells you that there’s an enemy, he cheers you on, and even when you die he just kinda accepts his fate. He’s a competent and capable man on the sea, and you know that he knows what he’s doing. Also, as soon as you see the ghost ship after you get the second sea chart, he tells you to go straight ahead, to chase it down. Again, he’s motivated by Treasure, but he doesn’t hesitate to chase after the ghost ship.

Maybe as an adult he should go and help Link who is just a kid, but keep in mind that this is a video game and you don’t want your hand to be held the entire time playing. His role only seems to be sailing you around anyways, not traveling by your side like Ciela (I’d imagine it’d be different for a full grown man to be following you around, cuz most Zelda companions hide away while you’re playing)

Anyways, Linebeck is cowardly at times, but I wouldn’t characterize him as a coward. A greedy pathetic scoundrel, yeah, but not really a coward.

#I think it makes sense that he’s pretty impulsive at times #especially at sea #when he’s on land he tends to overthink and realizes ‘oh I could probably die’ #so he stays back #but on the sea he gets caught up in the moment and sees the ghost ship and hunts it down #idk maybe being on the sea makes him feel invincible #either way this is a Linebeck safe space #any Linebeck slander will be shunned immediately #Linebeck #phantom hourglass #smiles rambles #Linebeck I love you more than life itself 😩 #but yeah Linebeck knows what he’s doing on the sea #like I don’t like how the game makes him seem completely incapable with sailing #like he’s been doing this for a while he knows what he’s doing #anyways #linebecj <3

[soullessjack]

top ten jack (k) lines that fully convince me he was meant to be a teenage superhero comic book protagonist instead of a cw supernatural character or sometbing . Idk my gummys kicking in

#like look at me and tell me this isn’t something mark grayson invincible would say #callum.p4 #vidpost #spn #jack kline #spn 14x02 #gods and monsters #liek idk he’s just #does this even make sense do you guys know the genre of protagonist I speak of #he’s like scount tf2 to me . #team fortress will #TEAM FORTRESS 2.0 #I’m hilarious

[willosword]

thinkin bout that one scene in invincible where mark and his friends are all hanging out but he just hovers alone by the window all tense until eve conjures him a non-alcoholic drink so he can join in and have fun :(

#this stuff is what runs through my head when mark is like 'i have to quit college i have to get better i have to be better' #the decision makes sense broadly but with mark's specific heroing tendencies it's Not Great #bro's already waaaaay too down on himself he doesn't need any more excuses to make his life miserable #bc misery -> stress -> anger -> violence and then the cycle just continues baby #willow whispers #invincible

*wakes up in cold sweat from a hundred years long nap* Aziraphale's 1941 love realisation was a LITERAL BOMB FALLING ON HIS HEAD FROM THE SKY that he was forced to MIRACULOUSLY SHIELD THEM FROM and they both have performed so well, he and Crowley were not only NOT discorporated, but ALSO his most precious belongings, the symbols of the human part of his identity, were not harmed in the process. and it was all within mere minutes of their reunion after a major fallout. do you. do you see what I'm

#i am not exaggerating this thought really woke me up just now #good omens #ineffable husbands #good omens s1 #good omens 1941 #crowley #aziraphale #my posts #i dont know if this makes sense #or if im just repeating what people have already discussed but it strikes that #the realisation was NOT gentle nor romantic or anything like that #it was violent and powerful! and it was entirely orchestrated by crowley. aziraphale had no say in it #he could not choose that moment #and yet. it was everything hes ever wanted. it was better than anything he could probably come up with #its not about romance with them really! its all about trust that they have each others back when the times get so fucking tough #thats when they are invincible together #i made myself sob #i keep circling in the point i wanted to make i cant articulate it well rn but i need to get this out and maybe ill come back to it later #marcela talks

If I had a nickel for every time I saw a post where someone is comparing Invincible to Steven Universe I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

#invincible #diseasy speaky #that being said i fucjinf hate the comparison because it does not make sense #the only two similarities in the shows is half alien baby is traumatized by absentish alien parent whomp whomp #this is coming from someone whos watched steven universe too #theres like twelve different shows and comics or movies rhat have that same plot. #steven universe isnt the only show to have that plot nor is it the only show to do it well. plenty of other medias have done it waay before. #saw a post where it summed it up as “both shows defeat the villain with the power of love but invicible has swears” #i saw red #because thats just wrong. #invicible is not a show that solves problems with just love you absolute fool. arguably steven universe isnt a show that does that either. #they deal with complex problems in complex ways #dear god have i gone senile?? no! #sometimes people have funny takes... other times.. guh not so much.

Kinda weird of them to introduce language barriers between humans and aliens NOW, after the Thraxans and the Martians and Allen and the Viltrumites and everyone else

Did you say mendez flirts with leon....?

Yeah I did say that. If you wanna be funny with it. Oh you wanna compare your blood with Leon's blood, Méndez??? You want Leon to join your side so bad??? Say less you fucking flirt.

Same thing with Mr. X in re2. Chasing Leon everywhere, causing property damage just to get his ass, being obsessed with him. Whore behaviour. The Big Boys want Leon so bad it makes them look stupid.

#I make myself laugh ok imagining that Mr. X and Méndez aren't actually out to kill Leon they're just in love with him is SO funny to me #and X goes after Ada bc he senses competition LMAO #resident evil #leon kennedy #resident evil memes #bitores mendez #Imagine being a big powerful strong dude with some crazy mutation that makes you practically invincible #and you decide to chase after a white guy

i think “thank you for loving me” is possibly the worst manga panel of all time.

#smashy the cache #one of the worst things about ace’s death is how much sense it makes narratively #luffy cant die but he can Lose and he hasnt really lost anything so far #hes still riding the high of being a nigh invincible fish in a very small pond #he needs to see the consequences of the like impulsive trust in his own abilities thats carried him so far #bc just usopp isnt doing that well enough to stick #like there are so many reasons that ace kinda HAS to die #but thank you for loving me is just. horrible horrible character depth that has fuckall to do with any of that #thats just a scared kid crying out its horrible its so fucking horrible #he wanted his life to matter and hes surrounded by all this proof that he matters so much to so many people #but the most important thing. the catalyst for ALL of that. was that his little brother cared. #im gonna chew through solid steel i hate the pirate manga so much #one piece

so like... outis doesn't want to engage excessively in combat bc the more you get hurt the worse you get as a soldier but she also doesn't like to disengage and was pissed off about fleeing from n corp guys even though that was the best course of action?..

#txt #i guess she just doesn't like to run away in general?? bc its cowardly i guess??? #makes sense if you squint i suppose #sad! i liked to think about her charging recklessly into battle bc she believes to be invincible. and also to make dante suffer healing her
