Invincible

This article contain spoilers for Invincible season 3 and the mirthful books , and also contains reference of abuse and sexual assault .

Invincibleseason 3 , episode 6 in short sees the return of Amber , with one variety to her funny playscript plot line potentially proving a controversial plot point will not happen in the show . Amber was a much more significant part ofInvincible ’s cast of charactersin the first two seasons of the show than she has been in season 3 thus far . This surely makes common sense , given the break - up between her and Mark last season and the renewed focus onMark and Eve ’s relationship inInvincibleseason 3 .

Nonetheless , Amber briefly appeared inInvincibleseason 3 , sequence 6 as she and her new boyfriend joined Eve , Mark , William , and Rick for a game of bowling . AfterInvincibleseason 2 ’s ending , it is nice for the show to highlight to us how Mark and Amber can rest friends , begging the question of whether the latter will have more appearance in the future tense , such as duringInvincibleseason 4or beyond . However , Amber ’s appearance in season 3 point her future may not contain a controversial story from the beginning stuff should the fictitious character return .

Amber’s Relationship Life Has Taken A Different Turn

InInvincibleseason 3 , instalment 6 , Amber return alongside Kyle , a new guy she is dating . Kyle and Mark immediately hit it off by speaking about Seance Dog , an in - world comic book , diffusing any potential tension and yield the triplex escort a success . Although it is unreadable if Amber or Kyle will come back inInvincible ’s future , especially with the show hurtling into darker territory regarding Mark ’s scrap against his many villains , this scene designate that one of Amber ’s plot lines from the funny book will not be conform in the Prime Video show .

Season 2 of Invincible has sown the seeds for many villains to appear , from recur faces to terrifying new threats ; Mark ca n’t get easy yet .

In the comics , Amber ’s next beau after her break - up with Mark is someone named Gary . Gary seems o.k. at first , prove to be protective and get it on toward Amber . Amber then returns and reveals to Mark that Gary is scurrilous . This prompt Mark to threaten Gary to abide aside from Amber , with the piece apparently complying . In one of Amber ’s lastInvinciblecomic rule book appearances , she tells Mark that Gary has changed and that she is give him another fortune .

The introduction of Kyle , as opposed to Gary , is enough to connote this , essentially removing the total controversial storyline of revilement from Amber ’s future …

AfterInvincibleseason 3 , installment 6 , it seems this storyline is being dropped for Prime Video ’s show . The introduction of Kyle , as oppose to Gary , is enough to incriminate this , fundamentally move out the entire controversial storyline of contumely from Amber ’s future . While future time of year could conform this and Kyle could but take Gary ’s spot in the storyline , it is true unlikely after whatInvincibleseason 3 , installment 6 showed of Amber ’s new life .

Why Invincible Is Right To Avoid Amber’s Controversial Comic Story

The Storyline May Be Too Bleak For Only A Supporting Character

AfterInvincibleseason 3 , episode 6 , I can not refuse that the show is making the correct choice in avoiding Amber ’s controversial relationship with Gary . For one , Amber has already been through a lot of trauma . Her relationship with Mark inInvincible ’s first two time of year was not the smoothest , even ending with her being jeopardise by an all - sinewy Viltrumite like Anissa . Amber has not been the most belovedInvinciblecharacter generally , but I always felt for her , and the break - up scene between her and Mark was fitly excruciating and made both characters all the more sympathetic .

ForInvincibleto take a plot line that terminate as tearfully as it did and give Amber into an outright abusive kinship would just seem free , specially given the fact it has no real heraldic bearing on Mark ’s plot line in the comics outside of his threat to Gary . For this understanding , Invincibleis better off removing Gary ’s abuse of Amber and give her a happy ending with Kyle . Moreover , Invincibleis about , well , Invincible . As I touch to , Amber ’s way of life diverged from Mark ’s last season , so the two being simply friends with no obstruction from now on is much less elusive .

Invincible Already Has Another Controversial Story Coming Up (& It’s Harder To Avoid)

Invincible Has A Dark Future Ahead

Perhaps the main reason whyInvincibleis best to withdraw Amber ’s opprobrious human relationship with Gary is that another similar spot will take seat in the future that is admittedly more difficult to nullify . The situation in question surrounds Mark and Anissa , the aforementioned Viltrumite who threatened Amber and fought Mark inInvincibleseason 2 . In theInvinciblecomics , Anissa later returns to Earth wishing to carry on the Viltrumite lineage but is unwilling to sire an materialization with man , thus attempting to seduce Mark into hold children with her .

Anissa ’s season 2 appearance tease Conquest ’s arrival , a villain expected inInvincibleseason 3 ’s final few episode .

Mark endlessly refuses , leading Anissa to forcefully overpower and sexually assault him before insist that she will do so as many time as she wish to batten down Viltrum ’s future tense . Given that this is such a vitally dark pointedness in Mark ’s future , it seems as though Prime Video’sInvinciblecannot avoid this plot line . Therefore , adding another abusive plot line to the show via Amber would only increase that feeling of gratuitousness . As a result , Invincibleremoving Amber ’s controversial plot line is for the best , if only to give one character a happy termination than a good deal of her peers will confront in the future .
