The series of main videos rewrites one of the worst moments of the original invincible comic … and makes it superhero gold
Atom Eve finally shines with his own light
Instead of repeating one of the most misogmare scenes of the comic, the series transformed Eva into a powerful, intelligent and brilliant heroine that it would always have to be. And above all, this decision not only improves its bow, but redefines the way in which female characters should be treated in the superhero genre.
The comics of InvincibleWritten by Robert Kirkman, they have many strengths. But Eva’s treatment, especially in his comparison with the conquest, was not one of these. In the cartoons, this moment is little more than a sad cliché: he tries to save Mark, puts a shield, the villain makes him explode in a second and crosses the torso. Literally. And all for Mark to get angry and fight better. Come on, the typical “suffers from shining”.
On the other hand, in the series, the team led by Kirkman and animated by Amazon decided that this narrative had not placed in 2025. The eve we see on the screen is not a romantic ornament or a useful victim: it is a molecular goddess in fury mode. He puts the suit, decomposes the matter, manipulates the density of the air, transforms the solids into water and vegetable to one of the most fearful bad guys of the entire universe of Viltrumita.
And even if it doesn’t win, What does in that struggle is much more than any other earth’s hero has ever achieved. He doesn’t just have to face the conquest: he shows the entire public who has stopped being secondary.
Of romantic interest for the protagonist with autonomy
From his first appearance, the atom of the series was different. Yes, he is still in love with Mark, but His identity does not revolve around him. He has motivations, conflicts, a past and a gift that exist for themselves. In fact, the first video has even dedicated a complete special only to explore its history. A rare privilege for female characters in this type of production.
The fight against conquest is the culmination of all that development. It is not just a spectacular action scene, which is. It is a declaration of intentions: Eva is not here for Mark to have something to lose, it is fighting, deciding, resisting and moving forward. Even if it hurts. Even if it loses. Even if they were passing through the bust again.
And, in this version, until that moment of weakness it seems different. It is not the typical Damisela in trouble: it is a hero who gives everything he has, without fear.
An evolution that makes the difference in the genre
Not everything was perfect. Sometimes the plot flirts still with Eva a shadow of sign. But unlike the comics, The series strives to build Eva as an autonomous figure, who does not need the male protagonist to exist. And in such a afflicted genre of sexist stereotypes and roles, that is, a lot.
Thanks to this, Atom Eve has become one of the most loved and respected characters in the series. Her ability to evolve, to get up, not to surrender … has made it an example for thousands of spectators.
Invincible Not only has a world show us in which superheroes bleed, suffer and they are wrong. He also taught us this Female characters must not be relegated to tragic victims or friends. They can be protagonists, fighters, scientists, leaders. They can have their own voice and history.
The struggle that changed history
It is no coincidence that this redesign occurs precisely in one of the most iconic moments of the comic. The clash with the conquest was, for many, a symbol of everything that Invincible It could become. Now it has become the example of everything that can be when it is done well.
Eva’s anger, his decision to intervene even if he is weak, his way of using powers not only strongly, but with intelligence, give us one of the best action scenes of the entire series. And above all: He returns the hope that the superhero genre may learn from their mistakes.
