What a fantastic series! I really hope Amazon greenlights Season 2! As a superhero fan, "Invincible" is a breath of fresh air. Ah... it's good to have superhero stories that aren't just the DC and Marvel line-up.

"As my blood type always says, 'B' positive!"
Todd :)
This episode is so heartwarming! We got happy endings for Todd, Bojack and Hollyhock, Princess Carolyn and, oh, nevermind. But it's mostly positive! Todd's clown-dentist caper got a hilarious resolution with a satisfying pay-off. BoJack's words to Princess Carolyn by the episode's end were exactly what I'd hope to hear. And those last words, man—I've never shed tears of happiness before.
"Where's my random detail that's gonna suddenly make everything make sense?"
That's too meta, man! XD
Anyway, the end of Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter's plotline was sad—Mr. Peanutbutter's words are too authentic. His character just received way more depth, and I'm too sad right now. He just wants to be a good boy! He wants love! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK!?!
"So remember, once you're in there, don't stop running."
Todd no!
This one is such a heartwarming and slightly heart-wrenching episode. It gives me all the feels, and I'm so glad I got to experience it. Oh, man, I'm watching Bojack Horseman.

I'm pretty sure it was this show that made me fall in love with DC's superheroes. The DCEU makes me depressed. Maybe I'll rewatch this someday.
FUN.
That relatable moment when you get promoted to the head of three departments, one after the other.

THAT TOOK A DARK TURN.
This episode isn't very PG. I mean, people get decapitated! Including David!
But it was fun, endearing and gave some excellent development for David, who we've only seen so much of this season. I'm glad the writer's dedicated this and the last episode to Frida and David, allowing them a chance to shine. It's nice. I also loved the adventure outside the wall. I don't know about the episode ending with Vikings killing and bringing themselves again and again. This episode was the darkest one yet!

Reggie? Rickie? Ritchie has one messed up business. The cops definitely need to shut him down.
Throughout the episode, I thought the mystery was going to be something profound, or there would be a big revelation, but it turns out it was a huge waste of time. Well, almost.
Mr Peanutbutter and Diane's relationship is on thin ice. Princess Carolyn has to try to keep Mr Peanutbutter from tearing his house apart, and Diane is trying to keep in contact with Mr Peanubutter, making sure he knows she's safe. But it's then when they find Cuddlywhiskers. He talked about his time as a filmmaker and the moment he won an Oscar.
Up until this point, BoJack has been juggling solving this mystery with Diane and attending all his meet and greets to help him win an Oscar. Along the journey, Diane's been getting calls from Mr Peanutbutter and keeps refusing them. But when they find Cuddlywhisker's home, Diane finally picks up, and Mr Peanutbutter is furious.
"I'm glad you're safe, but I was worried about you."
"You have to call me. It doesn't matter what's happening. It doesn't matter if it's the middle of the night. You can't keep doing this to me."
- Mr Peanutbutter
Cuddlywhiskers then finally arrives and sits down to drink tea and talk with BoJack and Diane. He talks about how he found no happiness in winning an Oscar yet felt even more miserable. Diane tells Cuddlywhiskers that "Everyone was worried" about him, how he "can't just disappear" and how he "really hurt a lot of people."
"Sometimes you need to take responsibility for your own happiness."
"It takes a long time to realise how truly miserable you are, and even longer to see it doesn't have to be that way. Only after you give up everything can you begin to find a way to be happy."
- Cuddlywhiskers
Cuddlywhiskers' words resonate with BoJack and Diane. For BoJack, because he's trying to win an Oscar and has been told it'll be "the happiest moment in his life." And for Diane, she's started to think about her own happiness and how she's been leaving Mr Peanutbutter disconnected from her life.
IT'S REFRESHING.

Let's go Todd!
It was nice to see somebody looking out for BoJack when he was starting out (and I saw a little bit of Seinfeld there). It's a shame that guy had cancer and six months left to live. That's so sad. And Todd, let's go. Now BoJack is looking out for Todd, and he's actually gotten to know him. Now they're better friends. It's a shame to see what that video game did to him though. And I know someone who's been like that before.
It was kind of creepy to see Wayne stalking Diane and Mr Peanutbutter was hilarious this episode. I'm still unsure of what happened in the last bit. I guess we'll see how it pays off.
This is better. Much better.

I know Hilda meant well, but she should've read the footnote. There was no reason for her to be in a rush!
I like this episode, it's good, but it has so much potential and could've used a few tweaks to improve it. For one, foreshadowing for the footnote would've been useful. There is no indication that there would be side-effects or that Hilda should've read some footnote. And two, that enchantment is kind of useless. It gives them good luck for thirty days but then steals their souls. What's the point of that enchantment? And what do you do with your friends' souls, anyway? Also, that autotune on David was a bit weird.
But I like what they tried to explore in this episode. Alfur is fantastic and helpful, as always. And they gave Frida a reason to be there, which is nice. It was such a simple story, but it works.

A beautiful tale of the price of glory and pressure society puts upon its greatest artists. But it is also a reminder to hold tight to those closest to you.

Review
Not gonna lie, pretty boring. There isn't any internal conflict (they set up some for I'm presuming later, tho?) and quite a few leaps in logic combined with deus ex machinas and zero character change or moral/psychological theme. A disappointing start; style over substance at the moment.

Review
Although the story loses its focus near the end, Ms Marvel is the MCU's most stylistic thing ever. The VFX, the score, the editing, it's all breathing with life and creativity. The story too centres on a teenager and she feels way more like one than Tom Holland's Peter Parker.
Overall, intrigued. Hope things get interesting!

This is my favourite TV show of all time.
By the episode's end, CookieGod and I burst into laughter because of how much it emotionally and intellectually moved us.
You had to be there.
