About this episode
The episode discusses the reasoning behind character race and gender swaps in the Invincible animated series compared to the comics.
The creator of the Invincible comics, and now animated series, explains why some characters go race and gender swapped from the comics to the tv show. I'd like to look at that reasoning in light of the current social moment we're living in.
