Invincible
Warning ! This review contain spoilers for Invincible season 3 ’s finish .
Invincibleseason 3 ’s finale may not match the show - best heights of its predecessor , but it still go down as one of the best installments of a fantastic season . DespiteInvincible ’s vicious Mark Graysonsof last calendar week at last being defeated or strand in another proportion , the show did not hesitate to twit another monolithic threat to Earth . This come in the manakin of Conquest , a nefarious Viltrumite tasked with securing Earth for his empire by ruin Mark and any other resistors , voiced by Jeffrey Dean Morgan inInvincibleseason 3 ’s cast .
As noted in myreview forInvincibleseason 3 , instalment 7 , I thought that episode was the show ’s good yet . The three - day structure , the various battles , the ominous sense of apprehensiveness , and the fantastic nefarious comportment of the alternate Marks andInvincible ’s Angstrom Levyall elevated it above what I cerebrate the show was capable of . The termination then tease an even bigger elevation with the arrival of a Viltrumite , one who I was aware of despite my circumscribed comic cognition . Thankfully , Invincibleseason3 ’s finale soar , albeit without matching the gross heights of the next-to-last instalment .
Conquest Is A Thrilling New Addition To The World Of Invincible
The Viltrumite Villain Was Anticipated For A Reason
In what prove to be a season of changing morality for Mark , Conquest presented himself as the terminal proverbial nail in the coffin forInvincible ’s titulary zep to take on a more violent outlook . After deal with the aftermath of Angstrom ’s attack on Earth triggered by his survival at Mark ’s hands in season 2 ’s ending , Conquest get in looking for one thing : a fighting . Conquest proved unlike any other Viltrumite in the show ’s chronicle because of the jubilant joy he took in battle , be it relish the pain of his enemies or goading them so they would put up a cock-a-hoop fight .
I appreciated that Conquest ’s personality shined through at different moments as the engagement between him and Mark take a brief lull …
Another element I loved about Conquest was his final Bible to Mark . When Conquest thought he had the good of Mark , he told him how lone he was ; the other Viltrumites are frightened of him , and , despite his epic index , no one would care if Conquest died on one of his charge . That this sincerely bother the villain added a layer to him I was n’t have a bun in the oven . After everything Conquest had said and done , this did not bring home the bacon sympathy for him , but it did show a vulnerable side he only allowed his truly defeated enemies to see , making him all the more interesting .
Invincible Season 3’s Voice Actors Continue To Shine
Notably, Steven Yeun & Jeffrey Dean Morgan
These elements ofInvincibleseason 3 ’s last fight would not have been as effectual if it were not for the show ’s brilliant part actors . I was surprised to see criticism for Jeffrey Dean Morgan ’s Conquest cast after last week ’s brief introduction , but I am sure episode 8 will put these criticisms to reside . Morgan is perfect for this part , offer an equal amount of malice , angriness , and the aforementioned gleefor a fight . In some way , Morgan emulate his Negan representative fromThe Walking Deadto betray just how much Conquest truly revels in taking lives via splendid battle .
Gillian Jacobs and Christian Convery are also first-class as Atom Eve and Oliver Grayson severally .
Invincible ’s Conquest and Morgan ’s phonation playing are only matched by Steven Yeun as Mark . Yeun has long shown his capabilities to dig into the more emotional , enraged aspect of Mark ’s story — be it the conflict against Omni - Man at the end of time of year 1 or his many run and tribulations since then . Once more , Yeun rises to the social occasion and makesInvincibleseason 3 , instalment 8 a fantastic back and forth .

Invincible Season 3’s Animation Rises To The Occasion
The Animators Do Not Pull Any Punches
Invincible ’s animation is one of the biggest talking points of the show and has been since it get . Many assumed the lacklustre animation quality of season 3 ’s first six episode was because the show was save itself for the last two episodes . As it turns out , this proved to be the case . The animation of the fight sequences here was prima , from the intimate blast - for - blow conflict between Mark and Conquest to the global urban center - destruct scale .
One of my only criticisms of the season ’s penultimate installment was the lack of dynamism show in animating Atom Eve ’s matter - falsify powers . gratefully , this was addressed here , with Eve getting plenty of badass moments against Conquest that were enliven beautifully . Now know how good the last two episodes of season 3 are , I am more than happy for the trade - off in animation quality if it mean the bigger episodes front as larger-than-life as they do .
Invincible Season 4’s Teases Are Incredibly Exciting Despite Frustrating Story Conveniences

If I had one criticism ofInvincibleseason 3 , sequence 8 , it would be the seeming lack of submarine after sequence 7 . While many did exit , Cecil only appeared with a team of heroes that could help oneself to fight Conquest after Mark had succeeded in wipe out the Viltrumite . For the first three - quarters of the episode , I wondered where someone like Tech Jacket was , a hero shown to obliterate a variant of Mark with comparative informality last workweek . This abbreviated history restroom was not enough to sour the intact instalment though , thanks to some tantalizing cod forInvincibleseason 4 ’s taradiddle .
Although I was frustrated not to get more from Omni - Man and Allen the Alien , Battle Beast ’s survival was an exciting here and now . Moreover , the sequid encroachment of Earth looks arrange to begin shortly , promise another rugged battle for Mark and the rest Italian sandwich of Earth fail onward . These elements , meld with Mark ’s violent promise that he will kill those who jeopardise his be intimate ones , his ability to now defeat knock-down Viltrumites like Conquest , and the loom state of war against more of the intergalactic warriors , promise another exciting binge of floor forInvincibleseason 4 .
Based on the comic book character by Robert Kirkman , Invincible follows Mark Grayson , a seventeen - year - onetime who run a on the face of it average life make unnecessary for the fact that he lives behind the shadow of his superhero father , Omni - Man . Mark go on to develop superhuman abilities , but he must also learn that his father ’s bequest is n’t as glitzy and glamorous as he ’s been precede to consider .
