The level of violence and gore in Invincible is exactly what I want in my D&D games. I'm all here for the ultra-violence.
The Boys is usually too much for me. That's literally why I stopped watching it (I thought it was very interesting and thought-provoking otherwise, but the ridiculous emphasis on ultra-violence made it hard to watch). Invincible is about as ultra as I want my violence.As a counterpoint to that other thread:
I don't like realistic violence. I have been too close to real wrold violence to enjoy it as entertainment.
But glorious, ridiculous, over the top ultraa-violence? Bring it on.
When the PCs take out a monster, I want blood spraying across the dungeon walls. I want bones cracking and gobs of gore flying. Spells should shatter teeth and boil eyeballs and set clothes, skin, hair, horns, scales and flesh afire.
The heroes should end fights knee deep in mud, blood and offal and be smiling like Billy butcher in The Boys.
D&D is metal. It is 80s B-movies. It is grimdark military fantasy. It is Garth Ennis comics. Or, at least, for me it should be.
On a scale of Superfriends to The Boys, where do you like your D&D violence level?
