The road to redemption is never a simple one. It is no simple task to turn a new leaf, and even after a person has learned the error of their ways, they have no control over how the rest of the world sees them. When it comes to television, Hollywood loves a good redemption story, but some of its greatest comebacks are more complex than audiences give credit for.
Invincible is the perfect example of this war, as its earliest villain is working to redeem himself, but his mission isn't going all that great. Invincible is making Omni-Man work for forgiveness and clapping back at one of the most frustrating tropes in anime along the way.
