(SPOILER WARNING: THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR INVINCIBLE AND SOME OF THE DESCRIPTIONS ARE BRUTAL AND MIGHT BE DISCOMFORTING TO CERTAIN PEOPLE)
Introduction:
This review is about the finale of the third season of Invincible which is an american cartoon about a teenager named Mark or his superhero name Invincible. He is also the child of Omni Man who was a superhero but only for the act to prepare for the conquering of earth which is his mission because he is a Viltrumite and although he’s kinda evil he’s a likable character. I think it deserves this review because the fight scenes looked insanely good. I also advise you watch most of the show before reading this so then you understand it more and you’re not confused throughout the entire review.
Animation: The animation was good but was mediocre in the episodes before the Conquest and Invincible fight, but I can’t really blame them for the time they had.
Oliver who is another child of Omni man but was from a Thraxan women who I’m not gonna explain who the Thraxans are because it’s pretty weird. Oliver flying over to Mark and conquest looked pretty good and the difference from the first season and this season is insanely different. The animation was definitely an upgrade from the other seasons and episodes and it looked really good.
Plot: The episode had a pretty good plot and story and I didn’t really get confused throughout the different episodes and seasons. I liked the characters too since they developed them well and the voice actors were also good but that’s mostly since most of their cast are celebrities.
Later in the episode we see the sewer where there are Sequids who are like symbiotes who need a host and the mission to take over the world or something. We also get to see Battle Beast in space covered in body parts and curled up in a ball.
We also see Angstrom Levy with his new arm that got cut off during the Invincible war but he’s a bad guy so I don’t feel bad. We also see a scene where Cecil is with Conquest’s body in a basement thing which is the most dumb idea because Conquest ends up escaping anyway but that’ll happen in season four which we’ll get in like a year, sadly. We also get to
see Mark finally realize that he needs to kill more of his villains because they almost killed most of his family, which I’m really happy about. We also get to see Damian Darkblood which is a side story that doesn’t really matter too much.
The scene where Conquest runs Mark into a bunch of civilians is kinda a call back to when Omni Man destroyed a train with Mark’s body pretty much but not really but he kinda still did, once you see the train scene you’ll understand.
Fighting scenes:
The fighting was really good, especially the Conquest fight since it was animated well and the environment looked good. The Omni Man and Invincible fight was also good but the animation wasn’t good but could’ve been worse.
The first fighting scene starts with a continuation of the last episode and Conquest and Mark start fighting. I think that it looks good but I’ll get to the rest. After headbutting and slamming Mark into the street, Conquest talks about how he’s not here to talk and spread good about Viltrum but just to fight.
After some more fighting Mark punches the Conquest into space and the Conquest makes a heart with a blood bubble thing symbolizing that he’s enjoying fighting him. I liked this detail because it really shows who Conquest is and what his character is like. Right after he tackles him back into earth and then punches him. Overall, the fight was pretty good and I liked this move from the directors because it shows more of who Conquest really is.
After that we see more fighting and Conquest is more on the aggressive side now and even destroyed a bunch of buildings in the fight. Then we see that Mark is getting beat up really badly and tries to surrender but the Conquest doesn’t want to stop fighting. Oliver then punches Conquest but gets bounced on the concrete (I’m not kidding). Oliver getting bounced on the concrete was really funny since it didn’t happen in the comics and it was unexpected and there was an impact frame which made it funnier.
Then Conquest grabs Oliver but he escapes with the help from Mark. Mark then tries to convince Oliver to leave but he thinks that they can beat Conquest easily, even though he got literally bounced on the concrete right before this and if I were Oliver I would have left immediately. Mark then starts punching Conquest but he catches it and stands back up and then it cuts to Cecil and DA Sinclair who are trying to make robots out of dead Invincible(Mark) variants from the invincible war which happened in the other episodes. It then cuts to Atom Eve who is in the hospital because of her broken leg from the Invincible war and watches as Mark gets beaten up and because she’s his girlfriend she really wants to help which she eventually does.
We then cut to Mark getting beat up again and right before Conquest probably kills him, Oliver kicks him away and still thinks that Mark and him can beat him even though both Mark and Oliver are getting beaten. After that Conquest backhands Mark away and punches Oliver making all of his baby teeth come out. And right after that conquest tries to kill Oliver but Mark saves him. Cecil shows up with some medics to try and help Oliver. Mark then spears Conquest but still gets beaten up pretty badly.
Right after we cut to Atom Eve demanding to help mark but Cecil thinks she shouldn’t because of what injuries she got before. After that we cut to Mark getting pretty much drowned but not really and then conquest runs Mark into a bunch of civilians who die.
Eve then shows up and starts fighting Conquest, Mark also gets one of his legs broken out but i’m not gonna get into more detail, Eve then really starts messing up the Conquest but not for long. Conquest then punches all of Eve’s armor off and punches a side of her jaw off and impales her with his arm which is pretty crazy.
Conquest then talks to Mark while he’s literally bawling his eyes out which is pretty funny because he’s literally mourning the “death” of Eve, Mark then threatens Conquest but he doesn’t take it seriously. After that Mark punches Conquest’s gauntlet so hard it shatters but costs him his arm. After that Conquest bear hugs Mark but Mark retaliates by biting off a chunk of his shoulder and Eve also gets revived because of her powers which are kinda complicated. Conquest then talks to Mark about how he’s lonely and he’s sad about how he’s suffering from success which is because he’s more of a weapon than a person to the Viltrumites which really shows how sad Conquest’s character is.
Mark is then choked by Conquest but Eve burns Conquest with some sort of pink laser beam but Conquest gets up anyway but Mark punches Conquest and starts punching him on the ground but Conquest catches one and crushes his hand. Right after Mark kills Conquest to which looked kinda cool but Conquest’s head honestly looked like a crushed watermelon.
After that we cut to the hospital which is in the pentagon, after that scene we see more of DA Sinclair and Cecil talking about his Invincible robots. We then see Debbie and Paul enter the room to talk to Mark, who she apologizes to because of the life she gave him. (Debbie is Mark’s mom and Paul his her boyfriend because his dad left Omni Man) Mark then demands to see Conquest’s body to make sure he’s dead and then wants them to burn it.
We then cut to a funeral which is to Rex splode who blew up during the invincible war. It then cuts to Eve crying about Rex but then Mark comforts her. The episode then has some scenes with over characters and storylines which is pretty cool.
Overall rating:
I would give this a 10/10 and this is definitely one of the best episodes in the show. It’s also based on the comic book Invincible which is the same name as the show(Obviously). I think the episode is definitely one of the best in the show and has great animation but has a lot of blood and gore but other than that it is a great show and I definitely think you should watch it. as
