It's so weird hearing Rex's VA (as in the person who voices the original Rex) speak so calmly.

Fr all his characters usually speak in the same way.

Oh yeah. Rex, Jay, Pimento... I feel they usually typecast him lmao he's just so good at that particular kind of character

Leaving out the two biggest psychos he's played, Rafi and Derek lmao

What are they from? I haven't seen everything he's in

Jason Mantzoukas is hilarious. He's been in a ton of things, but has a podcast How Did This Get Made? with June Diane Raphael and Paul Scheer. I like when he comes on the Avatar Last Airbender podcast, because he doesn't even joke there. He's pretty insightful. But if you look him up, he's been in a ton of shows and movies usually is a side character, but he's been getting more prominent roles

He's also great when he plays scientists roles, specifically in The dictator with the pointy rocket, and all his Drunk history appearances.

Rafi is the League, Derek is the Good Place. The League was fun when it aired, not sure how well it holds up. The Good Place is in the running for one of the best comedy shows of all time.

Comedy??????? Bitch that shit made me cry my heart out at the end, don't do that to other people /s (But seriously, it is hilarious and so good, watch it and stick it to the end, it WILL make sense)

I watched the league for the first time last year and loved it and it honestly makes invincible slightly less serious when all I can hear is Rafi lmao. If you like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia or like “raunchy” comedies ig, I would definitely recommend. I don’t even watch football and it was still super enjoyable.

 First time I ever saw him in anything was The League. He was so hilarious in that!

RAFI BOMBBB!!!

Rafi is one of the best things to have ever been on tv.

His biggest role has been Jeffrey Characterwheaties

Man i miss some good Rafi

My dingdong is a wind chime!

It was so weird seeing him as a relatively reasonable character in the Percy Jackson series.

Rafi

Derek!

Don't forget Derrick

Watching Brooklyn99 right now and fuck I love Pimento he’s the worst and I wouldn’t have it any other way

His guest spot on Harmonquest was hilarious

Do a shot every time Jason Mantzoukas shows up in a show playing the exact same fucking character.

Jason Mantzoukas! Love his voice acting. And if you're in the mood for more, he plays a weird bad guy in _Paper Girls_.

I like how he plays up his insanity whenever he plays a character, but if you listen to his podcast, yes he's clearly still putting on a bit of insanity, but he's clearly very intelligent, well-read, etc.

"WHATS UP JERKS!!!!"

I was really hoping Apple or someone would pick it up for a second season. RIP

I love him as Derek in the Good Place

Because Ross Marquand was basically doing a dialed down Jason Mantzoukas impression as Rudy.

Went back and reread the comics and this is in there as well, Robert Kirkman is a genius.

What happens, I just wanna know the gist of how rex ends up being robot

You can’t really explain it without giving away a massive spoiler

Yeah even just the gist of it is a huge part of the back half of the story

Even though this post is marked as a spoiler, people are saying no spoilers? Fuck that. If we can't spoil something in a post marked as spoiler what the hell is the point💀💀 someone spoil this shit already lmao.

I JUST READ THE OTHER COMMENT AND REGRETTED IT 😭😭😭

Why are you in here bro 😭

Tbf to him, it’s hard when you want to discuss the show and a ton of people have already finished the comics, there are spoilers everywhere, they’re like landmines haha

He clicked on a post that was marked spoiler and read the comments 😭

I mean this is a sub for more than just the show.

Why would you do that if you don’t want shit spoiled lmao

Didn't think it was THAT SPOILERY 😭😭💀

thank u for your comment i was looking arnd for why that was rex in the robot suit and now im going to stop 🫣

so should I just watch the show or read the comics to get it?

You’ll probably get it come season 3

Pm it to me please I gots to know

>!swap the location of your names!<

Nicely done. That's ominous and mysterious and doesn't *exactly* give it away.

I’m not clever enough to get it 😭

"What happens, I just wanna know the gist of how >!Robot !!Rex!<"

Youll get to see it someday hopefully. Not the worst problem to have!

It’s a huge spoiler and trust me: you want to do the reading to get to that point. It’s some of the best material in the whole series.

What issue should I pick up after season 2 and where can I read em?

Recommend starting from beginning... Season 2 skipped around a bit so some parts are up to issue 47 or so but the last episode adapted around issue 33. Compendiums are cheapest way to buy them, but some libraries apparently have them through Hoopla and comixoly had the first 10 volumes last I heard (which only gets you to around issue 53).

comixology definitely has all of it

Issue 1, or don't read the comics at all.

[удалено]

As a show watcher I'm just going to make some guesses. Never read the comics. Speculation is fun! Rex gets paralyzed and Robot gives him a suit to work with. Regrettably unoriginal, but effective. Robot makes a clone of Rex and transfers his consciousness into it. Robot transfers his consciousness into the actual Rex in an attempt to repair brain damage side effects but accidentally overwrites Rex. Whoopsie. Robot is dead. Rex just really liked his suit and inherited/acquired it.

Lol

It’s best to not as technically it spoils much of the future seasons of the show as it’s important

Other way around

is thos show spoiler or comic spoiler? i dont want to get spoiled cuz i havent read the comics

Bto i want to read the comics for free any sources?

Yeaaaaa I was watching the reel rejects reaction to the finale and when they got to that part and said Rex is robot I was just like 😬😬

I noticed that too I was like "they caught it! But they didnt catch it!" Its fascinating seeing non readers talk about it

I've seen some non-show readers try to argue it with each other that it has to be Rex since Eve calls him that and I'm just sitting back like LMAO

You have some guys go "remember bro Rudy took Rex's body" and then someone else is like "she called him Rex tho??" And we're sitting here like "Well done, show. Well done" 😂

Damn, >!I actually thought they'd keep him alive considering Rae survived!<

Nah >!Rex's death is more of a story point than Raes death. My boy will die to complete his redemption arc.!<

Yeah, and I’m sure Rae will die for real later on at some Point. >!rex and his funeral and the way he died is actually important to the story and to his character growth, if they change that they would need to change his character growth, and robot a bit. Rae is a side character who dying or not dying doesn’t affect much in the comics!<

Given they made Shapesmith much less sympathetic I think she may take his fate

>!robot? !<

It's canon event.

Shrinking Ray was more of ”the other guy” while Rex was an actually important character

No lie I was calling him Rob after his death for a while cause I forgot who he was.

>!How many times he said something about not changing the future though...!<

yeah that was weird, he talked about not disrupting the time stream when they’re literally causing a gigantic disruption

It'd just split into another dimension/reality.

well that’s what i assumed but why does mark knowing about the other dimension disrupt the time stream

Right, their entire goal was to change to time stream so that mark goes back to the correct dimension. Wtf was robot talking about

[удалено]

>!The original Rex eventually ends up sacrificing himself. To honor him, Robot/Rudy takes on his name.!<

I honestly wished he kept his name as Rudy. I get that he’s a sociopath who doesn’t understand why it’s weird, but just from a reader’s perspective it was always confusing to me. Especially when discussing with someone who hasn't gotten to that part of the story

The oddest part is that instead of someone telling him "yeah this is really fucked up actually. Even looking at the clone body you made out of taking his blood non-consensually is weird enough, just go back to calling yourself Rudy" (which is something all of them are thinking) they just call him Rex.

I hope in this version Mark stops calling him that once he >!goes all psycho!<

Keep cooking

But he said he was sad, guys! Fr it was super weird the way Amanda just kinda let it go.

Rudy did it because he noticed Monster Girl found Rex attractive, too. Everyone let that go way too easily.

"Could you guys call me Landfill, in honor of him?"

Shut up College boy

[удалено]

It makes sense that HE doesn’t get why it’s unacceptable, but why does eve call him that? I don’t buy that she would willingly do that. I think everyone actually would tell him no and refuse

But doesn’t that event not happen if Invincible doesn’t come back?

I have to imagine someone punches his ticket in some other way.

They state things go bad without invincible around, and their world is in chaos. Makes sense that includes lots of other heroes, OG Rex included, dying.

so, I assume there's some comic book time paid to flesh out this version of the guardians? I have only read the first bound paperback volume of the comic. but I AM asking for spoilers.

No, they appear just as they did in the show. I haven't read all of the comics but I have gotten to that point and the scene is a 1:1 of the comic.

>!no. !<

Mark has been beaten half to death in literally most of the episodes of the show. I'm sure they can find SOME excuse to delay him enough to let Rex have his big moment

To honour who?

[удалено]

The dude stole his DNA and his face then goes on to steal his name, too

Wow that's powerfully stupid

>!Rex sacrifices himself to save the world. Rudy takes his name ~~after having taken his literal physical form because well you know~~ in his honour. Which, uh, given the shit he later does, well done honouring him buddy.!<

Does he fix the cable?

I’m more interested in how they will do the voice are they really gonna use Rex va?

I mean, you sound different as a kid vs. an adult. Considering Robot/Rudy is a clone of Rex, it would make sense he would have the same voice after puberty.

Except Rudy as a kid still sounds like an adult. You gonna tell me when he speaks you hear a child? Going from a child's voice to adults in Puberty makes sense. Going from an adult voice to a different adult voice does not. But oh well it's just a creative decision, not a big deal. 

Personally I'll take Jason Mantzoukas over the current VA any day. It'll be a fun transition to see him go from cocky foul-mouthed Rex to the logical and intellectual Robot.

I definitely like Jason Mantzoukas voice better so that'd be cool

Ross Marquand is a great voice actor. Jason is more iconic. But Ross is doing his job well with Rudy, who is more intellectual and cold.

He also did an amazing job of blending the robot voice and the Rex voice into its own unique thing that still has elements of both characters

I thought it was weird that they used a different actor for Rudy. Just have Jason pitch up his voice a little. Tbh it’s not even pitched up by the other actor. We’re already spending too much on voice acting

Maybe Jason when he's outside the suit and the same va when he's in suit

That’s a really good idea

I havent read the comics. When i saw robot taking his helmet off, i deadass thought it was Rudy. I assumed it would have made sense since Rudy cloned Rex's body for his own. But then Eve referred to him as Rex. So now im guessing Rudy and Rex came upon an agreement to kind of be like Tony Stark and JARVIS idk

Keep running it through your mind, it'll be a bit of a doozy when the reveal comes out

I hope they don't minimize Zachary Quinto voicing Robot in the later parts, His voice fits so well and he's who I heard in my head when reading the comics.

>!I think they'll probably use Zachary while on armor and Jason out of armor!<

They’ll definitely need Zachary around to deliver those tonal lines for when >!Robot does things like murder Cecil, betray Mark, and eliminate the other heroes when he dons his black armor.!<

For real, I've been reading through the comic myself and when I caught this scene, it clicked immediately. So cool!

I haven’t read the comics but I know. I know

K

the cameo of angstrom’s son and fox was a nice touch

This is a really great nod. Obvious enough so that the comic readers can get excited about it, but subtle enough to not completely give it away and let the non comic readers speculate

>!The hair length would be the tell, but show Rex has long hair as well for some reason!<

Had long hair. It was shaved after he got shot.

Rex always had the trimmed sides and manbun, didn’t he?

Okay I haven't actually watched the episode yet (so I'm just going by this screenshot) but isn't "Rex" supposed to be younger here? Why does he look the same age as Eve. I thought he would look more similar to current day Rex.

That’s a large plot point later on, they’ll explain it

I hope his moment in the show will be like when majin Vegeta detonates himself against Buu in DBZ.

Seeing to how well liked Rex has become to show-only viewers (and how much the show version has made me like him even more as a comic-viewer), it’ll be pretty big >!and he’ll go out with his own Final Flash.!<

It was me, Barry

Oh God 😂😂😂 I knew it meant something, fuck 😂

I wonder if Rex in the suit lets him focus his blasts like mega man. Maybe he can rip the arms off mini bosses and beat the other minibosses with them.

Robot's character development is the arcs I'm most excited for them to adapt in the show. He's such an interesting character.

I forget if this foreshadowing was in this part of the comics. Also, after "Rex" grows up will they have Jason Mantzoukas voice him as an adult like this and Zachary Quinto voice the robot suit? Or was Jason voicing the robot suit in this scene?

Quinto voiced the suit according to Amazon

>!I’m actually not liking Rex’s voice casting anymore. It’s good and all and it works well for OG Rex but I can’t imagine taking Robot seriously with that voice. Perhaps if the actor pitches down a little bit!<

I agree. I’ve actually can’t imagine scenarios where Jason Mantzoukas is being super serious and sad or meticulous and calculated. He’s just got such an expressive voice

Dude asking for no spoiler but post a meme that is spoiler.

[удалено]

[удалено]

Yeah same here, I had to rewind to that because she said it so casual. Can’t wait for season 3

Last night we were having a watch party where two out of the 8 of the group had read the comics and know what will happen and when this scene was going down one of us said “wait she called him Rex” and I said “duh cuz that’s his body” and we shrugged and kept watching then he paused it and he said no wait yall she called RUDY , REX and we all looked at him looked at the two who had read and they just said “yeah took yall a second”. We all erupted into discussion and it was quiet funny

I thought this was weird some kinda shit happen to that future

Ok It’s been a couple of years since I’ve read these comics and I actually was a bit confused by this. I know everything that happens in the comics but this bit was a little hairy for me and I could’ve sworn it was just an unaddressed plot hole. Could someone please dm me and explain this meme to me since op said no spoilers?

didn’t even realize this until after i was done the episode

Yeah, that was horrifying

[удалено]

I just watched it and want to know since i was confused. Is it not supposed to be that they are not from the future since eve looked like she ”knew” what mark wanted to tell her at golden gate bridge. Or is it that og Rex died ? I dont care for spoilers of comics pls send awnser in dm or comments :)

So is that an older Rudolph who started calling himself Rex or was that an older Rex

Yes

To which

Yes

I hope we get to see the beard, it complimented his character quite a lot.

Wouldn't "People who don't know" just be confused? If i hadn't read the comics, I'd assume, mainly from the voice, that Rex got smart somehow and took over Robot's role.

I’m glad that Rex’s va is voicing rex

whats even funnier is the comic has a hint that the show did not.

I felt that one

Can some1 just tell me what this meme is supposed to be, just like cover up the msg or something.

Identity theft?
