Oh my god literally. Perfect tag

The Sleepers from CS1 and CS2 are different types of Sleepers

In CS1, the protagonist Sleeper was capable of doing all types of work. Endurance, Intuit, Engineer, Interface, and Engage. Sure, they were better at some than others, but they were able to do all of them all the same, regardless of their class.

In CS2, the protagonist Sleeper is much more handicapped. Their skills are tied to their class much more precisely. Ensuring that an Operator will never be able to do Endurance tasks, a Mechanist will never be able to do Engage tasks, and an Extractor will never be able to do Interface tasks.

I believe that, regardless of the botched reboot at the start of CS2, this is by design from Essen-Arp, parent company and copyright holder of Sleepers.

The Sleeper from CS1 is an older model. More versatile. Less dependent on outside factors. We'll call them Mk. I

The Sleeper from CS2 is a newer model, Mk. II. Purposefully handicapped by Essen-Arp engineers to ensure that they can never be fully self-sufficient, and less capable of striking out on their own. Mk. II Operators would never have a reason to do Endurance tasks while working for Essen-Arp. Same as the other Sleeper classes.

Anyway, theory over.

Sure, I agree with you on that. Cecil IS the head of an organization, but he is only a man. He'd have to get everyone around him to agree to whatever he wants, or force them to do whatever he wants. Everyone. Every boots-on-the-ground operative, hardhat-wearing maintenance guy, and keyboard jockey at HQ. WHILE ensuring that nobody with sense and a gun in their hands takes him by surprise. (And that's not even accounting for all the superheroes he barely keeps in line) Mark has no such weaknesses. He has the strength of a theoretically-infinite number of men, including their lifespan, and a greatly-heightened healing factor. In all measures, Mark is practically a living god. As are all Viltrumites.

It would only make sense for a man like Cecil to deploy countermeasures, contingencies, backup plans, red herrings, whatever you wanna call them. Brainwashing in particular for dangerous, but useful assets. Moreover, brainwashing is always pretty different from media to media. Cecil's version of brainwashing could be unbreakable. Or it could have some other form of countermeasure. Like a dead man's switch he already used with the control button on Mark's sonic countermeasure. If the brainwashing breaks, a bomb goes off in Darkwing II's chest. Or something.

That is only if brainwashing is actually in effect. Which we have no proof of (maybe, I haven't read the comics)

For those of you who have watched Season 3 of Invincible... Team Mark or Team Cecil? Who was, in your opinion, more justified?

Personally, I'd say I'm on Team Mark. Neither of them were one hundred percent in the right in their argument, but Mark was remarkably calm and restrained given what Cecil had done and his piss-poor excuses ("Should I lock you up too?"). On the other hand, Mark could have demonstrated more restraint once they got to the white room.

Me personally, I would have been honest about it. Our real-life government does a dozen more worse things in a day than recruiting murderers. Cecil, a morally-gray government man, is pretty tame by the standards of real-life politicians.

As for brainwashing, I'm not unwilling to rule it out. Cecil definitely isn't ABOVE that. Even if "Severe psychological reprogramming" was just a roundabout way of saying "therapy" I don't think it's such a bad thing. If Darkwing 2 was truly beyond saving via normal means, might as well brainwash em', but I'm still skeptical, because why wouldn't the GDA just brainwash EVERYONE they have in custody?

Would legit be better if they just saved all the animation budget for the fight scenes then moved .JPEGs around for anything else

god, i wish invincible looked good

100% agree. Kate could have a backup body chilling at home and send an army out to die in droves. I mean, if there's no limit to Kate's power, she could literally suffocate any enemy under a mountain of her flesh and an ocean of her blood.

But I digress

There's only one of Rae, and she can only die once. Out in the field, risking her life. Kate has noooooo ground to stand on.

Kate having the audacity to act like she went through anywhere near as much as Rae did when Rae was brutally injured and almost died and Kate was never at any real risk and then defending herself with "my powers are different, so?" as if the fact that her powers allow her to not actually show up and be in genuine danger with the rest of the team isn't the entire problem

fucking cowardly asshole

Literally "Hey sweetie, I know you meant well, but killing is wrong alright? Alright. :)))))))"

Meanwhile Oliver is like "Ugh sure, Mom, I GUESS."

I still cannot get over Debbie's passivity re: Oliver's bs. This is a woman we watched call Nolan out repeatedly when he started saying weird shit. Someone who immediately cut to the heart of the issue when Mark said 'make me' and now... now she tells Oliver every time he lies to her face that everything is alright??? Murder is scary just don't do it again??? Who the fuck is this??? What happened to Debbie ??

I think Mark's Crashout could have been avoided if Cecil was just a teensy bit better at de-escalation and didn't immediately point a figurative gun to Mark's head, but I still believe Cecil's 100% in the right.

Murderers CAN be redeemed. If not through remorse and forgiveness, then they can at least be useful. Sinclair wasn't given a "get-out-of-jail" free card by Cecil and a blank check, he was put on a short leash where he could be monitored, and his genius could be put to good use. The "Reanimen"'s organic bodies are now sourced ethically, likely from willing former-owners who were already dead by the time they get modified.

Darkwing 2 was already mentally-unstable by the sudden loss of his mentor, and living in Midnight City - with its extremely high crimerate and constant darkness - did not help. Moreoever, he shows actual remorse and a willingness to improve and seek redemption. We don't lock crazy people up and throw away the key just because they had the audacity to have a sense of justice, however skewed.

In a universe like the one Invincible resides in, you can't afford to take half-measures. Cecil understands that. He sees the use in the broken, and seeks to fix them. Mark only thinks of locking them away as punishment for their crimes.

Is anyone else a little... bothered by how safe Citizen Sleeper 2's writing is?

Like, there are at least 2 contracts where you're essentially visiting a mass grave, where dozens to thousands of refugees perished horribly to the vacuum of space or, in one case, an atomic blast. Abandoned corporate stations and huge corporate spaceships left to rot adrift and in horrible disrepair.

And every time it's like "we didn't find any bodies LOL"

Sure, this ship tried to escape a corporate bounty hunter, was slammed with railgun slugs and dashed against a couple errant rocks, but apparently everybody made it out OK.

This station had one, or multiple atomic blasts inside of it, and much of the station is still traversable, at least, but no, no bodies either. They were very efficient with that evacuation order.

Like sure, violence isn't the GOAL of the writing, but I find it a little disappointing that there seems to be so few, or such low, stakes for anyone who's not a main character. It's like you're sanding-down the edges of your lore.

I guess people can't tell you their tragic backstories of suffering under corporate rule if they're not around to tell it, huh?

REAL SHIT YOURE PREACHING TO THE CHOIR HERE!

Straight-up never understood the borderline VENERATION that most of the CS Fandom has for Ethan. I never cared for that bitch. I suppose his one redeemable trait is that he is a 100% unapologetically-evil asshole with no possible redemption. Bro went to the GRAVE evil.

returning to Citizen Sleeper in order to try and get myself fully refreshed for the sequel + i never played those free new episodes that came out with an optimist Machinist and tried giving Ethan the time of day this time bc i'd seen a lot of people say they liked him and kind of expected some kind of like, reveal or something but no he really is just an asshole who doesn't even consider the Sleeper to be a person. straight up says "think i'd give up one of my own for you" as in like, one of his own being humans, "real people". i mean it's like fine that people like a character who's morally not great, i myself like Ankhita in this game, it's just like. this guy? he doesn't even consider the Sleeper to be a person and folks are like "this guy is prime shipping material". his two character traits are sci-fi racism and making power plays to get vulnerable people to do his busy work. is it 'cause he's a blond white guy or am i missing something here. he's just kinda annoying to me
