Kirkman strove to do something else withInvincibles multiverse.

Instead, the multiverse ofInvincibleends up emphasizing the protagonists unique aspects.
But he takes out his rage on the only Mark who took Earths side.
Its a cool villain hitting at the right time to key into our main theme of the season.
What makes Levy a compelling villain is that his madness makes sense.
Thankfully,InvinciblecastSterling K. Brown(who just earned his first Oscar nomination forAmerican Fiction) in the role.
Sterling was just excellent at it.
Brown isnt the only fun bit of voice casting this season.
To make the sequence really come alive, the show castI Think You Should Leavestar Tim Robinson.
I needed to find somebody that could carry the scene on their voice alone and be interesting and compelling.
His record session was fantastic, Kirkman remembers.
And he’d run through the whole scene again.
At the risk of angering him, I was like, do it even crazier!
He always had another place to go and was super into it, seemingly.
I mean, he humored us at least.
His craziest take made Filip Schaff seem like an absolute lunatic.
I loved it, and I tried so hard to use it, but it just didn’t work.
Invincibleseason 2 is streaming now on Amazon Prime Video.
