Invincible
monition ! This article arrest spoilers for unbeatable season 3 , episode 7 .
Invincibleseason 3 , episode 7 finally overcame a problematic trend of late , but it may have violate my ticker in doing so . Thus far , Invincibleseason 3 ’s storyhas spend a circumstances of clip building up supporting characters , their relationship with one another , and their connection to Mark . Although some have nickname time of year 3 a jolly makeweight story thus far as a result , others have good bask what exploitation the show has made withInvincible ’s cast of characters .
irrespective of ruling on the season thus far , many will agree thatInvincibleseason 3 , sequence 7is one of the show ’s best yet . The source material ’s iconic Invincible War storyline get to draw , resulting inevil Mark Grayson / Invincible variantsattacking Earth on the orders of Angstrom Levy . As Earth ’s heroes united to face this almost insurmountable menace , several met a dark luck , as did many of the Mark edition . One of these death was suitably heartbreaking , but I still thinkInvincibleneeded it to fall out to overcome a troubling trend the show has problematically repeat in the past times .
Invincible Needed A Major Death After Too Many Shock Character Survivals
Characters Kept Escaping Seemingly Fatal Situations
The tragical demise in question was Rex Splode ’s , with the part imbuing his own frame with his explosive powers in a big to wipe out one of Mark ’s vicious variants . The end was upsetting , given Rex ’s substantial character developing inInvincibleseasons 2 and 3 , but I acknowledge that the show needed it to fall out due to the fake - out deaths that have become somewhat commonplace . Be it Allen ’s plain death in time of year 2 before being converted as a Viltrumite killing machine or the many times Immortal has been " killed " and revived , Invinciblehas long had an takings with sticking to impactful death .
Invinciblebecame a show where part were but expected to outlast …
While I sympathize a lot of these plot percentage point are following the comics , it does not take away from howInvinciblebecame a show where part were simply expected to survive . This was the same inInvincibleseason 2 , with Rex , Shrinking Rae , and Dupli - Kate surviving the Lizard League plan of attack despite have monumental injuries . InInvincibleseason 3 , episode 7 , eccentric like Shapesmith and Immortal survive even more heartrending injuries , further proving the full stop . As a result , in some ways , I was grateful for Rex ’s death being made lasting .

Rex Splode’s Death Hurts, But That’s The Point
Characters Are Not Supposed To Live Forever
Of course , in other ways , Rex ’s destruction hurt a lot . The persona has undergo a significant quality arc acrossInvincible ’s three seasons thus far , move from an unacceptable , chesty character to a thoughtful , selfless superhero . Invincibleseason 3 , episode 7 dangled happiness in front of Rex and Rae before take the former pop off in battle , providing an improbably effective death conniption . As will be the case with many , I was swage by Rex ’s death , but I believe that is the point .
Characters in the best stories do not work because they live evermore . All of the ripe stories are as tempting as they are because they have real narrative stakes . Invinciblesomewhat miss these interest due to how often characters were shown to come through living - neuter events . That allege , Rex ’s demise being lasting becomes even sadder as a issue , which was the full point . Now , Invincibleseason 3 , sequence 7 will go down as an impactful , consequential turning decimal point in the series , driven by the loss of a major part .
