What's the deal with The Man Of Tomorrow, and why do some people insist on treating him like yesterday's news? Blue and Red discuss!
This video contains footage from Invincible, carefully edited to minimize the potentially upsetting content. Despite the lack of onscreen grievous injury and body horror, that part still has a fair amount of blood, so watch out between 1:01:37 and 1:04:49, and a brief bit between 1:06:34 and 1:06:49.
