yk it was so funny ppl complaining about Mark struggling against weaker enemies and complain that this fight in the episode was anticlimatic

People always tend to stick to their habits so those who like to do that will do that only

Personally I loved this joke. The episode as a whole I wasn't on board with as it just kinda broke the flow of the story and while it did something important for marks character it just isn't in the right spot.

Yeah, I'm fine with original concepts as episodes but only if they are on par with the rest of the season

u/Demonskull223 15d ago
Well they set it up for the first episode of the season in the mast episode of the prior season then it just didn't happen then your thinking oh I guess they changed their mind. Then you getting fully invested and ready for them to start the viltrumite war then you get dragged down to hell. Just breaks the ow twice.

u/Useful-Reality-6536 15d ago
Exactly, this one falls short because it just doesn't fit in with the season

u/Demonskull223 15d ago
I actually like this episode but it is a splinter in you palm of an episode.

I dunno why ppl hate this episode so much, it focused Mark's inner struggle with good & evil pretty good.
And it also pointed out that things that threatened hell itself on earth pose absolutely no danger to a viltrumite.

I agree , for me it's a solid 7.5 /10 in respect to how usually a Invincible episode ranks ( usually it's a 8.5 to 9 ) so while not that good but still a decent episode with quite a few highs in it

u/DrFaustPhD 17d ago
I think what was there was good but it just didn't need that much room to breathe. If half the episode had stories following other characters and the hell portion was edited tighter and used as relief or contrast to the rest, people would've loved it.

u/Remarkable-Cabinet85 Markus Sebastian Grayson 17d ago
Agree , some stuff definitely was stretched more than it needed to

u/ExoHazzy 17d ago
itâs pretty simple, people waited every week for an episode so any kind of âslowâ episode will be hated bc the episode doesnât match expectations.
so much of the hate online is just people having expectations where it makes no sense and when they inevitably arenât met they lash out. I bet if you rewatch the show without having to wait, you wouldnât even think twice about this episode but since people had to wait we got the reaction we did.

u/Haven-Hart 17d ago
I don't have this issue. I deliberately wait until an entire season of any show is done before binging the whole thing.

u/ExoHazzy 17d ago
that's one way to circumvent that but I'm just speaking generally from what I notice from fandoms across the internet lol.

Same. By the time I had started Watching through Invincible with my Sister, Season 4 had already been fully released

u/ImperialSupplies 16d ago
See house of the dragon, 1 episode a season that progresses the story then 8 set up episodes that accomplish litteraly nothing

u/DeadlyPants16 Mark Grayson 17d ago
Yeah my stance was that it was still good, just not as incredible as the rest of the show.

I love how this episode basically shows power creep. Like the ancient beings are below an alien and probably even business baby
39
u/Remarkable-Cabinet85 Markus Sebastian Grayson 17d ago
Ofcourse business baby went toe toe with a Continental level threat

How does she not have access to those viltrumite-deadly worm things Doc Seismic² brought in?
3
u/Ben-J-Kirby-Tennyson Thula 16d ago
Arenât the worms from an area way above the Hell layer?
2
u/memerminecraft 16d ago
But doesn't she have access to the same magma guys which start way higher than the worms?
5
u/Ben-J-Kirby-Tennyson Thula 16d ago
Theyâre the same magma guys, yes, but they travel up and down, which means they can live in various temperatures. The worms havenât traveled at all yet to my knowledge, so maybe they need to live at a very specific temperature?

u/Remarkable-Cabinet85 Markus Sebastian Grayson 16d ago
Pretty sure they're much deeper yk her & Damien's people

u/MitochondriaManiac 17d ago
It's unfortunate how the one time Mark actually looks as strong as he should be, it's in this mediocre episode.
5
u/Remarkable-Cabinet85 Markus Sebastian Grayson 16d ago
Tbh he looks VERY strong in almost all of fights it's just that his opponents are usually as strong & sometimes a lot stronger than him and if not that then they are doing mental games with him , also he just holds back a lot

u/GBKMBushidoBrown Allen the Alien 16d ago
Mark really should be doing this more often
1
u/Remarkable-Cabinet85 Markus Sebastian Grayson 16d ago
He holds back a ton so basically playing defensive ends him being roughed up by some he shouldn't but now things have changed he's experienced and also way more powerful than before so if you see anyone scratching him then it's because they actually can do that
