To recap what has been going on in Invincible as of late. Robot has not only betrayed his friends but has also massacred just about every superhero within the superhero community. Those whom have managed to live are either trying to fight back against Robot or are joining Robot because he's the biggest villain sue since The Light

And while the heroes of Young Justice's only crime is being an idiot the heroes of Invincible's only crime is being an uncaring jerkface. I mean let Robot rule over the earth, regardless of the fact that he could be putting innocent lives at risk?
And in result this puts Invincible in an arc that is so pointlessly long that it makes Clark's Superman Arc in Smallville less tedious. Now eventually Robot will be stopped but in the hands of a....smart writer lets look at what the repercussions.
Earth Damaged Beyond Repair
I'm not just talking about collateral damage either. No I'm talking about on a social change. Cause there will be fanatics that will go after the ones who stop Robot and thus resulting in another war that the heroes will have to clean up. Then you have some people that didn't mind Robot's reign and will resist the heroes reverting to the status quo of things.
The fact that the heroes hardly did anything against Robot at all what civilian could count on them should another crisis happen?
Everybody Hates Mark
Anyone with half a brain wouldn't easily forgive him Would you? He not only surrenders but he also ditches the planet. One of the heroes even called him out and labels him a coward but Mark couldn't care less. Even if he eventually grows a pair and fights Robot its going to take years for him to get himself back in the good graces with the superhero community. Let alone the civilians should they find out that Mark ditched them.
Oh and Mark single-highhandedly destroyed his own family in the process. Congratulations you selfish wanker.
The DC and the MCU have both gotten their share of flack. I've even went as far as to call MOS average. Say what you will about MOS but at least Superman actually tried to stop Zod
And while I've often accused the MCU of not taking things seriously at least The Avengers would try to stop Ultron from killing countless of people. As dysfunctional as they are. Given the crap that he has gone through Cap could have easily turn his back on the people. Iron Man too. But they still save lives.
Hell even Jackverine looked more heroic than Mark in Days of Future Past. Let that sink in.
As Invincible grows its becoming the anti-game of thrones. In Game of Thrones there are at least some characters I still root for regardless of how gloom that universe is. In Invincible....Cant really make that claim. Although if there is anything I'd give Game of Thrones credit in its that at least the villains would get what is coming to them eventually.
