8. This Was Supposed To Be Easy

Mark’s Work At The Prison Becomes Anything But Simple

Season Three, Episode Five
Best moment: Mark fights Mr. Liu’s dragon

The fifth installment of Invincible‘s third series is an excellent addition to the show, however, it doesn’t quite match the peaks set by the rest of the season. In this particular episode, Atom Eve assists Mark in launching his own venture aimed at preventing prison breaks. However, as it turns out, this endeavor turns out to be trickier than initially expected.

As a cinephile, I can’t help but feel excited about the resurfacing of Titan, seeking my assistance. However, bound by my principles, I find myself unable to aid a character with a questionable past, no matter how noble their intentions might be. This decision sets off a chain reaction as Mr. Liu orchestrates a daring jailbreak, transforming into a dragon for the occasion. Caught in the crossfire, Atom Eve and I are determined to thwart his escape. The ensuing battle is nothing short of spectacular, filled with thrilling moments that leave me breathless. Yet, despite the captivating subplot hinting at Machine Head’s comeback, this episode doesn’t quite measure up to the rest of the season in terms of dramatic moments, making it less memorable on my list.

7. You’re Not Laughing Now

The Opening Episode Sets A Great Foundation For Season Three

Season Three, Episode One
Best moment: The ReAnimen and Dark Wing return

In the third season of Invincible, it kicks off energetically right from the start, showcasing a training sequence that demonstrates Mark’s increasing powers, and the momentum doesn’t slow down. The episode is brimming with action as Mark and Rex Splode engage in combat with Multi-Paul, followed by every hero on Earth being apprehended by Doc Seismic.

In this rephrased version: The antagonist, who has resurfaced with more power, now commands creatures from deep within Earth, threatening their annihilation. This is when Cecil takes action, deploying ReAnimen and a reformed Dark Wing to turn the tide, setting off the primary conflict for the season between Mark and Cecil. The debate of whether one is a hero or the savior of the world becomes central, as Mark’s resistance to Cecil’s tactics fuels the main conflict throughout the season. This initial episode is captivating, though the quality of subsequent episodes falls short, somewhat diminishing its impact.

6. You Want A Real Costume, Right?

The Season’s Third Episode Features A Brutal End For The Mauler Twins

Season Three, Episode Three
Best moment: Oliver Kills The Mauler Twins

Initially releasing episodes 1 through 3 simultaneously, the third installment needed a powerful conclusion to engage fans for the upcoming weekly broadcasts. This episode highlighted Mark receiving his new attire, alongside Oliver adopting the role of Kid Omni-Man. It further explored the sibling dynamics between the brothers, and introduced Mark and Eve’s budding relationship.

The storyline progresses dramatically as the Mauler Twins reappear, defeating the Guardians of the Globe and Mark. Yet, Oliver mercilessly slays the twins, with one pleading for mercy just before Oliver pierces his chest. This grisly encounter marks the last time we see the Mauler Twins, leading to tension between Mark and Oliver due to Oliver’s disregard for others’ lives. A remarkable installment of Invincible, offering more ethical dilemmas that set this season apart as truly exceptional.

5. All I Can Say Is I’m Sorry

Aaron Paul Steals The Show In This Episode

Season Three, Episode Six
Best moment: Powerplex’s Speech With The Repeated Title Card

In this episode, Aaron Paul’s outstanding voice performance as Powerplex takes center stage and shines brightly. The narrative revolves around Scott Duvall, also known as Powerplex, who blames Invincible for the loss of his family in Chicago during a battle with Omni-Man. This blame is the driving force behind the episode.

Following the acquisition of tech from the GDA, Duvall gains enhanced abilities, becoming a formidable adversary for Mark in this installment. The narrative delves into the emotional fallout arising from Mark’s confrontation with his father, prompting Mark to ponder the lasting effects of their clash, not only on himself but also those close to him. This episode is a standout, showcasing Aaron Paul’s exceptional portrayal of raw emotions.

4. A Deal With The Devil

Cecil’s Backstory Is Revealed And Mirror’s Mark’s Outlook

Season Three, Episode Two
Best moment: Mark destroys an army of ReAnimen

In the second episode of its third season, Invincible raised the bar quite high for this season’s continuation. The narrative delved into a flashback detailing Cecil’s transformation into the head of the Guardians of the Globe (GDA), revealing his evolution into a morally complex character. We witnessed how he saved countless lives from a chemical assault, how the GDA rebuilt him after he was destroyed, and how he harbored a firm conviction that villains could not be redeemed. Consequently, he executed the perpetrators of the attack after they had rescued both Cecil and the GDA director during an attack on the Pentagon.

Further along in the show, tensions among the Guardians of the Globe escalate as a result of Cecil’s questionable tactics, Mark annihilating a horde of ReAnimen, and a breathtaking confrontation between all parties, particularly with Cecil.

3. You Were My Hero

Time Travel And A Prison Break Combine For A Stellar Episode

Season Three, Episode Four
Best moment: The Prison Break

One Heroic Moment from Season Three, ‘You Were My Hero,’ is particularly memorable. The episode splits into two distinct acts. In the first act, Mark finds himself in a dystopian future under a dictatorship led by an Immortal. As the conflict unfolds, he’s pushed to his limits, struggling not to harm his friend, but ultimately forced to make a difficult choice.

In the latter part of the show, events transpire within the Viltrumite jail where Omni-Man and Allen are held, with Omni-Man being readied for execution. This predicament compels Allen to act, determined to rescue his newly formed comrade and persuade him to unite against the Viltrumites. The subsequent battle is intense, with Allen inciting the prisoners to join him, even going so far as to free Battle Beast who seeks a fellow Viltrumite to fight. The conflict is gruesome and violent, concluding with the disclosure that the Viltrumite empire is weaker than both Allen and their alliance. This episode of Invincible solidifies its position at number three.

(Or)

In the latter part of the show, the action unfolds within the Viltromite prison where Omni-Man and Allen are confined, with Omni-Man being prepared for execution. This situation forces Allen to take action in an attempt to save his newfound friend and convince him to join him in battling the Viltrumites. The ensuing battle is fierce, with Allen rallying prisoners to fight alongside him, even releasing Battle Beast who seeks a fellow Viltrumite opponent. The combat is brutal and bloody, ending with the disclosure that the Viltrumite empire is weaker than both Allen and their alliance. This episode of Invincible establishes its third place standing.

2. What Have I Done?

The Invincible War And The Return Of Angstrom Levy

Season Three, Episode Seven
Best moment: Rex Splode’s sacrifice

Fans have eagerly anticipated The Unbeatable War since the beginning of the season, and it didn’t disappoint – it was one of the series’ finest episodes yet. This episode showcases various incarnations of our title character waging war on the planet at the behest of Angstrom Levy, who seemingly perished in the season two finale. The battles between these heroes and their variants are intense, resulting in significant loss of life and decimating organizations like the Guardians of the Globe and numerous other heroes.

In this rephrased version: The most impactful moment in the episode is when Rex Splode selflessly gives up his life to protect the young squad, which is underscored by the poignant play of Billie Eilish’s “when the party’s over,” adding a chilling atmosphere that emphasizes the destruction. The episode concludes with Mark vanquishing Angstrom Levy and expressing intent to aid the conflict’s victims, only for Conquest to appear with the ominous warning, “be prepared for my arrival, vermin.” This episode is exceptional and ranks among the best the series has ever offered.

1. I Thought You’d Never Shut Up

The Biggest Finale To Date

Season Three, Episode Eight
Best moment: The entire fight with Conquest

Unbeatable excels at creating outstanding season finales, and this is certainly true for season three. It’s currently one of the top shows on TV. This particular episode revolves around the struggle between Mark and Conquest, where the majority of the episode is dedicated to their fight. The episode is packed with action, and the animation notably improves significantly.

The storyline kicks off swiftly and doesn’t slow down much, featuring Conquest’s chilling dialogue that’s harsh and violent. The fight scene becomes gory in just the right manner, as he eliminates Oliver and temporarily takes out Atom Eve. Eventually, Mark overpowers the Viltrumite, leading to a poignant funeral for Rex, a character whose emotional departure resonates deeply with fans given his significant transformation throughout the series. The episode ends by hinting at Damien Darkblood’s comeback, a character who hasn’t been seen since season one. This episode stands out as the finest of the season and might even be the best so far.
