Line #22 Trivia/Invincible2021


1	----
2	* ActingForTwo: The show features several experienced voice actors in multiple roles.
3	** Creator/RossMarquand plays The Immortal, Aquarius, Rudy, Kursk, and Bi-Plane.
4	** Creator/GreyDelisle plays Monster Girl (in human form), Shrinking Rae, Olga, and Eve's mother.
5	** Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson plays the Mauler Twins, Monster Girl's monster form, and the Flaxan Leader.
6	** Creator/ChrisDiamantopoulos plays Donald Ferguson, Doc Seismic, Todd and Isotope.
7	** Creator/FredTatasciore plays Kill Cannon and Eve's father.
8	** Creator/NicoleByer plays Titan's wife Vanessa and daughter Fiona.
9	** Creator/ClancyBrown plays Damien Darkblood and General Kregg.
10	** Creator/TatianaMaslany voices Telia, Aquaria, and Queen Lizard.
11	* ActorSharedBackground: Some of the characters are {{racelift}}ed to share their voice actors' ethnicities, such as the Caucasian-American Mark being changed to biracial Korean and Space-Caucasian in the show or Caucasian-American Amber being changed to African-American like her voice actress Creator/ZazieBeetz.
12	* AllStarCast: The show has a rather impressively large cast of well-known actors in major or supporting roles, including Creator/StevenYeun, Creator/JKSimmons, Creator/MarkHamill, Creator/SethRogen, Creator/SandraOh, Creator/ZazieBeetz, Creator/MahershalaAli, Creator/JonHamm, Creator/WaltonGoggins, and more.
13	* BeamMeUpScotty:
14	** Omni-Man doesn't say "Think, Mark, think!" during the iconic scene in Episode 8. He only says "Think, Mark!" without the second 'think'. He ''does'', however, say the former line in the original comic, which may be where the confusion comes from.
15	** Omni-Man's "That's the neat thing, you don't." is often misquoted as "That's the neat '''part''', you don't."
16	* {{Blooper}}: When Debbie is browsing newspaper articles about Damien Darkblood, it's quite easy to see the lorem ipsum text that got left in around the main headlines.
17	* ColbertBump:
18	** Season 1's usage of "Tom Tom" resulted in view spikes for Holy Fuck.
19	** Season 2 has also seen a jump in views for Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, as their "Avalanche" song is used for Omni Man's space journey.
20	* ContentLeak:
21	** Character models from season 3 were leaked after the second season finale, [[spoiler:confirming that the Invincible War and Mark's fight with Conquest will be adapted in the final two episodes of the season, along with the debut of characters such as Brit and Wolf-Man.]]
22	** Animation storyboards and other assets, by [[UncreditedRole uncredited]] North Korean animators, were uncovered in December 2023 by cyber-sleuth Nick Roy. The batch, featuring released and unreleased work on episodes, were found on a North Korean server passed between a Chinese vendor. One storyboard board, featuring a scene from "[[Recap/Invincible2021S01E05ThatActuallyHurt That Actually Hurt]]", was used in an April 2024 [[https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/22/politics/us-animation-studio-sketches-korean-server/index.html exposé]] by CNN.
23	* DescendedCreator: Executive producer Creator/SethRogen voices Allen the Alien.
24	* DuelingDubs: Just like what happened with the Latin American Spanish dub of ''Series/TheBoys2019'', the one from this show had a newer one, done also in Mexico, which replace the older one done in El Salvador, starting on June 2023, and like ''The Boys'', the Salvadoran dub was removed.
25	* FakeAmerican: Debbie Grayson is voiced by Canadian actress Creator/SandraOh.
26	* FakeGuestStar: Only Creator/StevenYeun, Creator/SandraOh, and Creator/JKSimmons are credited as main cast members. While those three ''are'' the largest, most central roles, Creator/GillianJacobs, Creator/WaltonGoggins, Creator/ZazieBeetz, and Creator/AndrewRannells all have large roles and are also in every or almost every episode but get relegated to secondary billing.
27	* FakeRussian: Americans Creator/MichaelCudlitz and Creator/GreyGriffin voice the Russian Red Rush and his wife Olga respectively.
28	* IronyAsSheIsCast: After playing a woman who [[spoiler: was victim of rape]] at the hands of ''Series/TheBoys2019'''s [[CorruptedCharacterCopy evil]] SupermanSubstitute, Creator/ShantelVanSanten now plays Anissa, who is not only part of an entire race of evil {{Superman Substitute}}s, but is [[spoiler: also a rapist in the comics.]]
29	* MemeAcknowledgement:
30	** The official Twitter is quite aware of the memes about Omni-Man being J. Jonah Jameson.
31	** Likewise, both the official Twitters for ''Invincible'' and ''Series/TheBoys2019'' are very aware of the [[FriendlyFandoms fandom overlaps]] between their shows. Creator/AntonyStarr also acknowledges the comparisons made between the heroes in ''Invincible'' to Homelander, joking that [[https://twitter.com/antonystarr/status/1385786401036279816?s=20 they're "copycats"]].
32	* TheOtherMarty: In the Mexican Spanish dub, Creator/GerardoReyero was [[Creator/EduardoGarza the voice director's]] first choice for the voice of Omni-Man, but Amazon insisted on casting Creator/HumbertoSolorzano (the recurring voice of Creator/JKSimmons). Instead, Reyero ended up as the voice of the Immortal.
33	* TheOtherDarrin: Rick Sheridan and D.A. Sinclair were recast for the second season with the former (originally voiced by Creator/JonathanGroff) now voiced by Creator/LukeMacfarlane and the latter (originally voiced by Creator/EzraMiller) now voiced by Creator/EricBauza.
34	* PlayingAgainstType:
35	** In sharp contrast to Creator/MarkHamill's most well-known roles, Art Rosenbaum is neither a villain nor a major hero, but a normal guy who just happens to design costumes for superheroes.
36	** Seth Rogen normally plays more stoner comedy roles, his role as Allen the Alien is an all loving DorkKnight.
37	* ProductionPosse: Many actors from the television adaptation of Creator/RobertKirkman's other notable series, ''Series/{{The Walking Dead\|2010}}'' lend their voices to this show. In addition to Creator/StevenYeun as Mark, the Guardians of the Globe are all played by ''Walking Dead'' alumni: Creator/SonequaMartinGreen, Creator/LaurenCohan, Creator/RossMarquand, Creator/ChadLColeman, Creator/LennieJames, and Creator/MichaelCudlitz. Creator/KharyPayton is also in the cast as Black Samson, though his ''Walking Dead'' character debuted after Yeun left the show.
38	** Like ''The Boys'', ''Invincible'' is a co-production of executive producer Creator/SethRogen's Creator/PointGreyPictures banner. Creator/JasonMantzoukas and Creator/BenSchwartz, both who worked with Rogen in his 2014 R-rated comedies, ''Film/{{Neighbors\|2014}}'' and ''Film/TheInterview'', voices both Rex-Splode and the Shapesmith. Creator/ShantelVanSanten and Creator/EricBauza reunite with Point Grey after portraying Becca Butcher and voicing Buster Beaver in ''The Boys''.
39	* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Due to their legal issues after the end of season one, Creator/EzraMiller was fired and replaced by Creator/EricBauza as the voice of D.A. Sinclair from season two onwards.
40	* QueerCharacterQueerActor: Creator/AndrewRannells and Creator/JonathanGroff are gay like their characters William and Rick. The same also applies to Groff's replacement Creator/LukeMacfarlane.
41	* SelfAdaptation: Creator/RobertKirkman, who wrote the original comic series the show is based on, serves as the show's creator and co-executive producer. He's admitted that he had the show deviate from the comic in a few areas because he sees it as a way to revise his old writing now that he's a more experienced writer.
42	* SimilarlyNamedWorks: Both ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' also have an episode called "It's About Time".
43	* ThrowItIn: Invincible's first fight after getting his costume was initially only created as a pitch for the series, but while making the pilot, the crew decided it would work as a great way to show his introduction to the world and lead into the credits.
44	* TwoVoicesOneCharacter:
45	** [[Creator/GreyDeLisle Grey Griffin]] voices Monster Girl as a human, while Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson voices her in monster form.
46	** Robot is initially voiced by Creator/ZacharyQuinto, but upon getting his new human body, he's voiced by Creator/RossMarquand. Quinto continues voicing him when inside the suit.
47	* UnspecifiedRoleCredit: Todd's voice actor was initially unknown, as the credits only list by voice actor, and the other characters and their associated actors have been known. It was later revealed that he's voiced by Creator/ChrisDiamantopoulos.
48	* VoicesInOneRoom: This behind the scenes [[https://youtu.be/wmj9gdseSRM video]] from early on shows Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh, and JK Simmons all recording together.
