The decision by Prime Video to divide season 2 of Invincible in half was first positioned as a victory for fans, who had to wait a long time between seasons 1 and 2.
The first season of the show debuted on March 25, 2021, while the second season debuted on November 3, 2023. The decision to split season 2 in half was presented to viewers by executives and the show's creators as a means of shortening the wait between when season 2 ends and when the third season would premiere.
It's safe to say that fans aren't exactly delighted about having such a huge gap in the middle of the season. The Invincible social media accounts have likely been bombarded by fans looking for news on when the back half of season 2 would be released and they alluded to such in the X-post below.
Plot-wise, the first four episodes of season 2 propel the main storyline between Mark and Nolan Grayson along quickly, although most of the show's supporting cast members barely experienced any change in their emotional states from the conclusion of season 1.
Some small character moments were had for characters like Atom Eve and Mark's mom but from a larger perspective, the supporting cast hasn't exactly come to terms with the explosive season 1 finale.
Invincible voice actor Fred Tatasciore recently stated that Part 2 of season 2 would continue its meandering waltz but also teased that all the disparate plotlines would come together in a surprising way.
Elswhere, on social media, the show also celebrated a few of its wins from the ongoing awards season. Invincible picked up a few trophies at the Annie Awards and the Rotten Tomatoes Golden Tomato Awards.
