Invincible is back for a 3rd season and it is as unrelenting in drama and violence as ever.
As always, Mark Grayson (aka Invincible) can barely get one fucking break (hey, he and Samantha Wilkins aka Atom Eve are a couple now and about damn time!), other shit comes to rain on his day.
Cecil Stedman, head of the Global Defense Agency, is now on Mark's list as threat.
Cecil has made defending the Earth a priority and he must be prepared for any threat.
And after the massacre caused by Omni Man, Mark's father, well, Cecil has to ready for anything.
That includes recruiting super powered villains into the GDA's service and planting weapons inside Mark's skull.
This pisses Invincible off.
But Cecil holds firm to the edict that he can be a good guy or he can protect the Earth... but he can't do both.
Estranged from Cecil and the GDA, Mark still has to cope with one crap fest after another as various super powered threats keep arising to demand his attention.
And arch nemesis Angstrom Levy is not as dead as Mark thought he was.
The bright colors and the clean designs might suggest some kind of throwback to Saturday morning cartoons but then someone crushes a skull or pulls out several feet of intestine and holy fuck! This show is some messed up shit.
And all that drama! Man, Mark Grayson makes bad luck Peter Parker look like a fucking lottery winner.
Invincible is not for everyone. This one is just for me, not to share with Andrea. (So... much... intestines!)
But Invincible does what it does with style with amazing animation and top flight voice acting.

Whenever I pop over to Amazon Prime to watch Invincible, I'll also catch up on a episode of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl,
a live action superhero children's television series from 1976 created by Sid and Marty Krofft.
Lori (Deidre Hall) and her teen sidekick Judy (Judy Strangis) are reporters for Newsmaker Magazine but when they hear the call that evil is on the loose, they make the ELECTRA CHANGE into Electra Woman and Dyna Girl as they go to their ELECTRA BASE and drive in their ELECTRA CAR to fight evil with the power of their ELECTRA COMS!
As Dyna Girl would say, "ELECTRA WOW!!"

Also Andrea and I are catching up on Phineas and Ferb over on Disney+.
I've seen clips from the show for years and I follow creator Dan Povenmire on Tik Tok. One night Andrea and I had a gap in our TV viewing schedule and I said I wanna watch Phineas and Ferb and now we do.
Phineas and Ferb are step brothers who are determined to make the absolute most of their summer vacation with over the top plans for the most epic summer fun ever!
Meanwhile Perry their pet platypus is secretly a secret agent (which I just realized is redundant. How else would a secret agent behave other than secretly?) Perry is tasked to stop the twisted schemes of mad scientist Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Why did I wait so long to watch Phineas and Ferb?
Well, that is that for this week's Tuesday TV Touchbase.
Until next time, remember to be good to one another and try to keep it down in there, would ya? I'm trying to watch TV over here.
