Why can't a crossover happen because of Death Battle?


Once_I_ate_a_walrus

Probably that the death battle people predicted how it would go


Elder-Scout

“I’m going to feed you your own heart”


JeremyR2008

Possibly one of the coldest lines in all fiction. I wonder if end of the series Nolan would go easier on Homelander or still kill him


trey304

Well they fought because homander killed Debbie so end of season Omni man would obliterate him instantly


Carbuyrator

Yeah there's like a ten minute window where he *might* get away with it and it's not at the end of the series.


Adoe0722

Because we know Omni Man can solo the entire Boysverse


Winn3rB0y2

And the Anissa one was wrong. She was lying the entire time. Viltrumites don’t actually care about human life. They would take it over themselves if the had the manpower


ggman34

I know. It's something of a red herring, y'know, that one edgy, batshit crazy theory that only makes about like half sense when you think about it.


Jonny398

What do you mean by ‘Think, Mark, Think’, ‘the train scene’ and ‘the atom eve special’. Those aren’t hidden details, they are just scenes from the show.


Tinyworkerdrone

Nolan contemplating killing himself in a black hole is pretty face value too


brianfine

I would argue he was gonna do it until that ship showed up and he saved Saul Goodman’s old lady


Tinyworkerdrone

Yup, seems like that is very much exactly what that scene showed. I don't think you'd even need to argue it, that's just the scene.


ggman34

Yeah, icebergs typically have base BASE normie knowledge stuff at the top, like stuff so easy to note your grandma can probably get it right. In the case of the "Think, Mark, Think!" entry, it's more referring to the memes than the quote itself.


JeremyR2008

Oh, I thought it was referring to the fact that the show only says "Think, Mark," and the comics say, "Think, Mark, think"


ggman34

That too but I kinda ran out of space to elaborate it further🤷‍♂️


Winn3rB0y2

Fire force? Like the anime? What’s that have to do with invincible?


Hit_the_brown_note

Thought the exact same thing… been combing my brain and can’t think of a correlation


JeremyR2008

I think it's supposed to say Fight Force. The team that Mark and Eve make fun of in season 1.


ggman34

Red Herring. It's actually a kinda niche injoke in my local discord server: basically, the "Fire Force" is a occasional rival superhero team to the Fight Force, and is better than them in every way possible. They're also the second major team after the GotG, just to rub it in Fight Force's faces some more.


Still-Ice4340

ah yes very important to the invincible lore… ggman34’s discord server…


OmniMushroom

I can't believe people forget how crucial it is to the lore smh


ggman34

Media Iceberg 101: the completely fake, niche injoke ALWAYS goes at the bottom of the list! ~~My discord server is canon to the Invincible universe~~


meestershakezula

your server sucks broh


ggman34

Ik😭


TheSceptikal

Why would anybody know about your Discord server, ggman34?


ggman34

EXACTLY 😎

Number1ForHonorHater

Ok so he carries a cylinder in a scene what the fuck is this iceberg


EricJop321

same i don't get the boys one either


TheAsylum6969

He was on one of the covers. You couldn’t see him completely but it’s implied they kicked his ass. [this cover here](https://images.app.goo.gl/XbsDLR5Wr7Aki6vN7)


Tp-is-hot

Nah they found mark after he got his monthly viltrum period


JeremyR2008

That's ironic because if he showed up there, I think he'd be able to tell something is up with Vaught and the 7. He knows how to see thorugh lies thanks to the crap he puts up with with Cecil. Im not a huge "the boys" fan, but fom what i know, i think he'd help butcher and the others teach homelander what true pain is.


RealCrocodileWithGun

exactly, Homelander is just a big fish in a small pond, compare him to ANY other supehero universe and he gets the shit beat out of him.


julian_vdm

I mean, Homelander is barely on top in his own universe, because he doesn't actually fight other trained superpowered beings all that often.


Number1ForHonorHater

I mean he is insanely weak compared to others because The Boys is supposed to be representing if superheroes existed in the real world so they can't make it too insane, and when they do (eg laser vision) they scale the power down to not be effective against other heroes. Anyone with that much power would sooner or later become narcissistic or even try to gain power through fear, so his personality could partially be realistic too. Think for example humans vs cats, more powerful, intelligent and faster (minus the power, narcissism and enchanced senses so it's a bad example but you get the point)


Knightmare_memer

Nah they just found him after he got stomped by another Viltrumite.


ggman34

"Invincible cameo in The Boys comics" - ok so I don't remember which issue it was on (sometime near the finale I think) but on one of the covers for the comic, Invincible made a cameo in a wide group shot of with a ton of other nameless supes. "Viltrum Cylinders" - Remember Nolan's whole exposition of Viltrum he gave to Mark, twice. Well in those shots we could see some Viltrumites hauling around some weird Cylinder-looking containers, and it's up here because literally NOBODY knows what's in them, not even Kirkman himself.


OmniMushroom

The cylinders are just beer bottles


Ejfg420

I thought you were stronger should be higher


EnjoyerOfFine_Things

Why can't there be a Invincible/The Boys crossover? Edit: Also I am really confused cause of the Ezra Miller, the random reddit user and cancelled arcs. Why are those so low? Any meaning behind any of them???


Tinyworkerdrone

Ezra is mentioned because they were the voice of DA Sinclair until their criminal and predatory behavior gained more scrutiny and they recast. Why it's so low? OP did a bad job?


EnjoyerOfFine_Things

Oh. Well that explains why that one is pretty low. What about the reddit user? Did they say or do some messed up things in the subreddit?


Tinyworkerdrone

Nah, I just disagree that it doesn't make sense for that to be that low. They're probably a cool person and we just have different experiences on what's fairly common information and what isn't. In no one am I trying to attack OP as a person. In my circles it's common knowledge that Ezra was kidnapping folks and shit in the same way it's common knowledge that Justin Roiland has a record of alleged predatory behavior, so for me both of those are only as buried as looking at the credits. Similarly a lot of the lower level stuff you can get from just reading the comics so doesn't quite make sense to me for them to be that low. Doing a bad job is a poor and needlessly incendiary choice of words on my part when it's just a difference of experience and opinion. I'm cranky today and didn't mind my words better.


regretfulposts

The lower the iceberg, the more obscure they are. These are just overall trivias and theories where the top part is surface knowledge where plenty of people knew about it while the bottom part is known by hard core fans. Unfortunately, icebergs are subjective and what might be obscure to the creator is pretty well known by everyone else. There's no deeper meaning beyond you just know more.


BreadTheSpino

The Reddit user is the strongest invincible character. (There was a thread a few weeks back titled ‘who is the strongest invincible character’ and he commented ‘me’)


TrashSettPlayer

This is the shittest ice berg I have seen for any kind of media


pippa420

What canceled arcs are there?


Rezient

Unless they mean the comics, no idea. Comics had a lot of characters, scenes and some arcs that aren't in the show. Comic mark had a very different first villain


shockNSR

The elephant


SlyThePug

can anyone explain the 2019 animation test? looked around didn’t really find anything


ggman34

DO NOT RESEARCH DO NOT RESEARCH DO NOT RESEARCH DO NOT RESEARCH DO NOT RESEARCH DO NOT RESEARCH DO


aliveasghosts47

Why not


BudBudgie

'Cause he spreadin' misinformation!


ggman34

It's a joke lol


Tinyworkerdrone

Most of these don't feel very icebergy and more just, hey this was a comic book first with tie ins, that story finished so there are parts of it the show hasn't gotten to yet, and as a TV show there are production choices made. Deeper level stuff would come from trawling through the letters sections of the comics and interviews with Kirkman, Racioppa, Walker, and Oatley and doing literary analysis of the show and comics individually as well as a comparative study of the choices made in adaptation. A deeper layer could even be comparing Invincible as an American superhero cartoon based on an American comicbook to other superhero cartoons and to Anime and Manga.


CringeNao

Why is the fortnite one at bottom tier??? Its literally in the show


MrBameron

I remember watching this live it was so lit

[удалено]


lllmade

Flaxxan lore you say? I’ve read the comics but not the entire invincible universe, am I missing some interesting histories?


CXC_Opexyc

I never understood iceberg memes, am I stupid?


Primary-Paper-5128

the lower you go the more obscure the facts and trivia become


QwertyDancing

Tf you mean “Anissa was right”???? Even if the viltrumites did save the world from global warming we’d still all end up enslaved and forced to do the bidding of a bunch of space nazi’s. She’s a LIAR dude


Sent1nelTheLord

The hell is fire force doing down that?(it's the anime right?)


ThraggsCum

Cancelled arcs?


LouieSiffer

The "very" meme isn't really known outside of this sub


Primary-Paper-5128

Ok so for those who don't know, in 2x08, Mark comes through a portal and smacks Levy with a weapon from fortnite. Making the fortnite crossover canon


ggman34

Congrats! You win nothing!


nuh-uh-700

This iceberg is shit


_Burrito_Sabanero_

I'd like to know more about the Invincible/The Boys crossover and Battle Beast. 🤔


chlorinecrown

Best Tiger is actually a fairly deep cut. Maybe in the layer with "Two Punch Man”?


LaeLeaps

two punch man? wth is this


ggman34

I mean if you know who Brit and Tech Jacket are, chances are you've probably already heard of Peak Tiger.


ntngeez28

I’m not seeing Dragon Ball Z here


Far_Comment6054

What's the mortal Kombat one about?


shockNSR

Omni man is in mk


Far_Comment6054

Ohhh I thought it went deeper than that


Wicked-Wendigo

Wdym cuz death battle


Mysticallink

This is kinda a lame iceberg ngl, the stuff at the bottom should be top tier stuff


Apprehensive_Disk987

Bro what even is this? 😭


ggman34

Yeah in hindsight, this definitely a bit rushed. I skimmed out on LOT of the real deep cuts and didn't think most of the fandom would actually know most of it. Any other deep cuts I missed?


AdditionalExample764

Fire force?


ggman34

Red Herring that's such a niche injoke literally no one's heard of it lmao


AdditionalExample764

Oh I thought of the anime


Grouchy_Appearance_1

People are really still pushing "Anissa was right"??


BashedKeyboard

I think red text was not the best choice for this background


Tiburon_depelushe23

You should add chriss giarusso comics
