# INVINCIBLE (2021): what the critics said

Critics' score 77 from 7 reviews: 6 positive, 1 mixed, 0 negative.

## The AV Club — William Hughes

Rating A-. 24 March 2021. 

Praises the whiplash-inducing tone shift from comedy to ultra-violence, strong voice cast especially Sandra Oh, and how it captures the comic's oscillation between humor and brutality, making it an exciting if overwhelming adaptation.

## IndieWire — Ben Travers

Fi1m's normalised score 70/100 (inferred from the text). 26 March 2021. 

The review describes it as half coming-of-age origin story, half hyper-violent action-mystery, nothing if not intriguing.

## Vulture

Fi1m's normalised score 60/100 (inferred from the text). 25 March 2021. 

The review notes the show's mix of teen drama, gore, and superhero tropes but finds it not fully settled, with too many characters and threads in the early episodes, though it has potential as an animated hour-long drama.

## Den of Geek — Bernard Boo

Rating 4.5/5. 19 March 2021. 

The critic praises the loving adaptation of the comic, its unique blend of cartoon aesthetics and brutal violence, strong voice acting, and character-driven storytelling as a coming-of-age family drama within a superhero world.

## NME — Dan Seddon

Fi1m's normalised score 80/100 (inferred from the text). 26 March 2021. 

The critic finds the series a gripping adult animation that mixes high-school angst and dark humour with sudden ultraviolent turns, comparing it favourably to a mix of The Boys and Big Mouth. They single out its unpredictable plotting, willingness to kill off key characters, and fresh reframing of superhero tropes for praise.

## Collider — Jeff Sneider

Rating B. 19 March 2021. 

The review calls the animated series gloriously violent and well-cast but somewhat familiar, succeeding on its own merits without reinventing the wheel like The Boys. It singles out the strong voice performances (especially J.K. Simmons and Jason Mantzoukas) and the Saturday-morning-cartoon-meets-gore tone for praise.

## The Ringer — Micah Peters

Fi1m's normalised score 75/100 (inferred from the text). 6 April 2021. 

The critic finds the Amazon series a brightly colored, high-flying superhero story that earns its 'adult' label through character nuance rather than mere shock value. The show stands out for its focus on how young hero Mark Grayson navigates both alien threats and personal relationships.
