- Quotes
Mark Grayson: [softly] Oh no.
[they look at their home destroyed and the Thraxans dead]
Mark Grayson: Dad?
Nolan Grayson: [let's out growling solfty]
Mark Grayson: Dad?
Nolan Grayson: [still growling and grabs Mark by his neck] WHY?
Mark Grayson: [groans in pain]
Nolan Grayson: Why do I CARE about them?
Nolan Grayson: [sternly] They were weak, short-lived, barely a species. They shouldn't matter to me.
Mark Grayson: [weakly] That doesn't mean they should die.
Nolan Grayson: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO FEEL THIS WAY! HOW IS THIS BETTER?
Mark Grayson: [painfully] This is how you should have felt on Earth.
[he starts groaning in pain, and Nolan was surprised when he left Earth. When two Viltrumites came in to Thraxa]
Vidor: There's the great Nolan.
Nolan Grayson: [growls at them and let's go of Mark, then coughs]
Vidor: Lucan found you first, I see. Glad you haven't gone too soft.
Nolan Grayson: Lucan was weak. Now he's dead.
Thula: Then he deserved his fate.
Vidor: Like these insects. You barely touch them and they die.
Nolan Grayson: [seriously] I'll kill you for what you did to these people.
Vidor: Then DO IT.
[starts attacking Vidor for good]
Part of what made this so great was the return of J. K. Simmons as Omniman. His performance in season 1 was terrifying yet relatable (and the source of incredibly iconic memes). He comes back with another impressive, show-making performance by balancing his tender emotions with psychotic aggression. Simmons also helps bring Steven Yuen as his son to new heights as we try to comprehend with him one crazy, unprecedented revelation after another. The fight scenes are also incredible displays of animated ultra-violence with characters I'm surprised to care about so much.
The show also develops other subplots involving other great characters (both old and new) with satisfying moments where we see them grow (Sandra Oh as Debbie Grayson and Mark Hamill as Art especially, and unexpectedly Rhea Seehorn in a role I don't want to spoil). Even though it obviously leaves off with a cliffhanger, it had a "decades happening within weeks" feel that advanced the story in a very satisfying way. Hopefully the show can maintain this momentum.
