00:00Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers Show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down

00:05Season 3 is now at an end but Episode 8 has a lot going on. We're calling it Glenn's

00:15Revenge. This includes a gigantic battle and also a massive tease for the future.

00:20That post credit scene are all completely new but we have some theories on that too.

00:26is with Conquest vs Mark. Starting right in the title we pick up where we left off last week.

00:31That title at the start means we're diving right into it and we see the punch playing out.

00:36It's completely earth shattering and the shockwaves a big way to kick off the fight.

00:41Mentioning Ennis' sail pitch Conquest says the truth is that he wants him to resist.

00:46This is almost beat for beat for beat like how it is in the comics with them perfectly

00:50recapturing the fight. If you wanna dive into the books then I suggest you pick up

00:54issue 62. Then work your way up to issue 65 and you'll basically have

00:59the outline of this fight in the comics. Now most of the episodes 1 to 1 however

01:03they change up a lot of moments of the dialogue. Conquest's also voiced by Jeffrey Dean Morgan

01:08which is such a great fourth wall breaking moment. That's because both him and Steven

01:13Young worked with Kirkman on The Walking Dead. There Young played Glenn and in his last scene

01:17Glenn was killed by Negan. Negan was of course played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan

01:22with this scene being a carry over from his first season. Technically not his first scene

01:26because it was broken up by a season but technically it's a continuation of the

01:30scene that the character first appeared in. So having them face off against each other again

01:35it's a full circle moment and I love seeing this fight.

01:42Sadly Invincible on TV is over until we get season 4. However that doesn't mean your time

01:48with Mark has to stop and you guys definitely need to play Invincible Guarding the Globe.

01:53The Ubisoft squad based RPG lets you play in the Invincible universe with a brand new storyline.

01:58Never before seen in the comics as show it's brilliant for fans just like you.

02:02Someone's unleashed a deadly clone army and you have to work alongside Cecil to get to the bottom

02:07of it. So you get some great clashes and unique fights that you've never seen in the comics as

02:11show. It's gory, over the top and filled with graphic multi battle action that I know you're

02:17gonna love. Assemble your line up of heroes and deploy them into blood soaked fights.

02:21When it comes to the game each squad member has a role. You've got your attacker,

02:25defender or support and it's up to you to choose the best combination for every encounter.

02:30Run idle battles in the background and send your team on GDA up secondary battles that run

02:34separate from the main storyline and are played simultaneously. The game's also perfect on the

02:39go and you can pick it up and play it whenever you want on your mobile. The visuals are incredible

02:44and it looks so good. There's a ton of characters pulled right from the series and you can do

02:49so many amazing team ups. On top of that viewers of this channel get an extra bonus.

02:54If you click my link in the description or use my QR code you'll get Kid Omni-Man

02:58and also Omni-Man. Just click my link in the description or use the QR code and you'll get

03:03access to these characters. Huge shit adds to Ubisoft's support on this video,

03:07now let's get into the rest of the breakdown.

03:09Now the initial fight between Mark and Conquest has some subtle minor differences.

03:13The clash is broken up into segments with the initial one being

03:16more of them just tackling each other.

03:18Conquest's speech about the Veltramine Empire is pretty much the same but they actually cut

03:22short some of what he was saying. In the comics Conquest doesn't get to finish the line of loving

03:27to have his fist trenched in blood. Mark attacks him just before he gets to blood which changes

03:32things up slightly. I actually like that he got to finish this line though as it puts him in a

03:35position of being a bit more dominant. In the comic Mark cuts it short and it's kind of playing

03:41into how he's more of a match there. Letting him finish it though, it just subtly shows who it is

03:46who's got the power here. Now in case you don't know, Conquest was one of the survivors of the

03:50devastating Royal Rumble that wiped out 50% of the Veltramites. They wanted to build a world where

03:55only the strongest survived and thus made everyone fight everyone. He came out as one of the winners

04:00and thus we can gather he's extremely powerful. Not to get too far into spoilers but there was

04:06an event on top of that that weakened the race and severely diminished their strength.

04:10This left this once godlike being being open to attack. Coming face to face with the Ragnar they

04:16ripped off his arm and blinded one of his eyes. We've actually seen them in the series before

04:20and they're who Nolan left a clue about in his books. However one thing you have to know about

04:24the Veltramites is that the more they age the stronger they get. Their aging also slows down

04:30as they get older so Conquest must be like super super old to look like this. But Mark sees it as

04:35being a warm up and his line about this is pulled directly from the comics.

04:39The following fight of them going through the building is relatively the same but there's a

04:43couple of altered moments here and there. On the whole though Conquest is absolutely terrifying

04:48and I love how he smiles throughout the battle. Him saying you're getting there, that was always

04:53a line that stood out to me in the comics. He's pretty much like Battle Beast where he spent his

04:58life desperate for a worthy opponent. Guy doesn't fear death at all and instead just wants someone

05:03that can match him and hey Mark seems to get towards it. Smacking his ears he of course also

05:08did this against the Mohawk Mark last week. Raz that messed him up though we see how it doesn't

05:13affect Conquest in any meaningful way. Guy actually compliments Mark for it which is a

05:18moment taken right out from the books. Screaming he wants more, that line tells you how much of a

05:23nutcase he is. The fact is as well that he completely has Mark at his mercy. Raz with

05:28Nolan, you know, he was probably gonna hold back on his own son, there's absolutely no reason for

05:35Conquest to. Anissa teased him and now we're seeing him come in full force not messing about.

05:40This idea of being a complete psycho is also enforced when they journey into space.

05:44The other scene happens in the comics, the bloodheart bit all brand new and it just

05:49makes him seem like a nutter. They then fall back to earth and fight along the way just like

05:53the comics. Conquest punching Mark in the face is an exact panel match as well. I love how Mark

05:58asks if he thinks things are gonna go his way and his response is to just show how powerful he is.

06:04I think fans of the comics will love these moments as they just manage to recapture it so

06:10well from the books. That face smash especially, it's one of those ones you really felt as you

06:14read it and yeah as a fan I was so happy to see it on screen.

06:17Now from here we get some further differences. In the book when Oliver sees the fight on tv

06:22he just immediately leaves the house. Debbie doesn't really get the chance to even talk to

06:27him as he's already out the door before she can even speak. Here though they give that moment

06:32more room to breathe. The whole permission thing is a really nice touch and it helps to show

06:36Debbie's change of view. Earlier in the season she didn't want anything more than keeping Oliver

06:41locked up and out of harms way. However I think now she's seeing how even in the worst of

06:46circumstances that those who can act need to. It's kinda like parents who don't want their

06:51kids to go off to war and be soldiers. They probably understand why they have to but there's

06:55also that side that doesn't want them to go. Debbie's been through that all now and she's

06:59encouraging Ollie to do what's right. She knows he's one of the only people who can

07:04and even though she breaks down and cries she sends him off to fight.

07:08Which just adds so much more to the character. Another difference happens when Mark finally

07:12comes to in the book. It doesn't show him spitting up blood or the Jurassic Park style

07:16vibrations that signal Conquest is coming. Conquest also comes out of the rubble below

07:21and not from above like he does in the show. We also have snow falling down at the start of the

07:25scene. I did wonder if it was playing on nuclear fallout or ash from the devastation around them.

07:30Because it sure doesn't look like winter. We then see how powerful our Conquest is as

07:35one hit against Mark almost levels the city. These god like battles are absolutely insane

07:42and it's something I think fans have been crying out for years. Oliver chasing them down and

07:46Conquest not letting Mark surrender is the same but we get some added dialogue.

07:50Conquest going through the building is another exact panel match.

07:53Also love how Mark attempts to talk things out but Conquest doesn't want to stop the fight.

07:58Just highlights how merciless that he is and how he's not really there to work anything out.

08:03Whereas Anissa could at least be talked to, Conquest isn't there to negotiate.

08:07With the Viltrumites you only get one chance and then the next thing they send could be your end.

08:12Even his name Conquest tells you exactly what kind of character he is.

08:16He's not seen as a person, he's purely just a purpose.

08:19So seeing him unleash and say he won't even give Mark the option to surrender,

08:23it really raises the stakes.

08:25That bit with the stop, it's all pulled from the work but it plays out a lot more impactful

08:29when it's done in the show. They actually add more to him in the episode as in the comic he

08:33never tells him to keep going. Here though he's sort of egging him on and even telling him he

08:38still has a chance. Now like the fight against Omni-Man we also get to see more of the civilian

08:43deaths. That's something that was missing from the comics and stuff like the train scene

08:47it was all completely absent. Which I always appreciated as it just added more weight.

08:52Here Mark looks about and we spend a moment to just see the devastation. Like there's a guy with

08:57his leg torn off. It just acts as motivation and really lets us as an audience put ourselves in

09:02their shoes. Or shoe now which is a bad joke. However we know these kinds of deaths motivated

09:08Power Plex and I wonder if some of the deaths here could do that with some other characters.

09:13There's still a lot to be introduced and they could be doing something similar.

09:16We also get Mark saying he's gonna give him a big ass beat down which is a direct line from

09:21the comics. How that Conquest doesn't punch him in the face he just grabs Oliver. Guy really said

09:26fuck dem kids. Beyond that though the following scenes are pretty much the same. Including the

09:31headbutt. I love how Conquest says he won't believe Marks of Ultramiden till he holds his

09:35heart in his hand and he also does that big punch stop. I actually preferred how it's done in the

09:39comics though as there Conquest calls him a child as he stops it.

09:43Now from here we jump over to Cecil with the Ace and Claire. In our earlier breakdowns we

09:48talked about how we didn't really know what was happening with the character as I felt like he'd

09:52been cut from some key scenes. Like I thought they might have just got rid of the character

09:57completely. I theorised that this was due to him being voiced by Ezra Miller and then probably

10:01them wanting to distance themselves due to all the controversy around them.

10:05So issuing a correction for that as many of you pointed out,

10:08Eric Bozer now voices the character and he's played him since season 2.

10:12Little correction there. I'm sorry.

10:22What I love though is that it shows even though Cecil and Mark are allies again,

10:27the former is still up to his old tricks. He's now experimenting on the multiversal variants

10:32and making them an advanced army of Rianna men. Here he's got the Flaxen variant which

10:36is the version that Cecil and Co killed at the Pentagon last week. They also have some of the

10:40others and clearly have their hands on a few. Obviously Cecil doesn't care about Mark's feelings

10:45and is just interested in protecting the planet. So if he can weaponise the dead and have a team

10:50of Robocop Beltramites they're gonna be able to stand up to the invasion.

10:54And Mark and Oliver potentially. It brings things full circle from the season opening though in

10:59which Mark was annoyed that Cecil was working with the Ace and Claire in Darkwing. Now he's

11:03still working with them and using dead versions of Mark to get what he wants. Which is so messed

11:08up and that takes us into issue 63. The opening broadcast dialogue wise is pretty much the same

11:14but there's one big change. In the comics they think Conquest is Omni-Man who's come back to

11:19Earth to finish what he started. Obviously though I think it would be stupid if they were showing

11:23the footage and then saying they think it's someone completely different. Another rather

11:27big change is the comic says he was only out for two days and not out for a week. This would make

11:33the timeline between the Invincible War and Conquest a bit longer in the show. What it adds

11:38is that the world's been on the road to recovery and probably made much more progress. In the book

11:43Conquest just showed up immediately after the war as here they've had time to get back on their feet.

11:48So kick em when they're back down! Does she look like she needs to walk?

11:52I feel it adds more weight to Eve being at death's door longer though. Mark's probably

11:56been through an agonising week of seeing her in a coma and it will make the danger she's about to

12:00face much more impactful. She seems amped up for it though and it really adds some stakes to the

12:05fight. Especially as we see her get her legs strapped up which I think gets more attention

12:10than it did in the comics. Now when we resume the fight it's pretty much the same as it is in the

12:15source material. Conquest's line about Mark being a toy is directly from the book along with how

12:20him taking over Earth is easy and fun. They do some really subtle things to show the devastation

12:25though like having the guy's body splat down beside them. If you rewind the episode a bit

12:30you'll notice him falling through the air which I think adds so much as well.

12:34Ever since the start of Season 2, Mark's been grappling with the weight of the death of the

12:38innocents around him. Going through this again it's just gonna make him realise the cost that

12:43comes with being a hero. Back in Season 1 the powers seemed like fun and games but these days

12:48it's completely breaking him. Conquest also messes with his head as well by saying that

12:53his father's dead. This again is a really important note as Mark doesn't know what

12:57happened with his dad. In his eyes he just got taken by the Veltromites.

13:01However dropping this in the middle of the fight, it destroys Mark on a psychological level.

13:06So not only has he had his body destroyed, he's being now told that his father's dead.

13:11Which is devastating so it makes sense he'd step in Holmes way for Ollie as he'll do

13:15anything to protect his family. Ollie coughing up teeth as well, pretty messed up.

13:20Anyway we then get the sack of turds line which is pulled directly from the book.

13:24They add some extra emotion to the scene though and really hammer home that Oliver's just a kid.

13:29Conquest ripping Oliver in half is the same as it is in the book but in the show we have a

13:33tear dropping onto Conquest's face. Our researcher TJ was saying it could

13:37potentially symbolise the secret pain that we discover Conquest is in.

13:40He's just a sad, sad lonely man and this may have been done as a metaphor for that.

13:45TJ's helped us a ton on the videos when it comes to getting stuff from the comics and

13:49if you wanna see a guy just chatting comics on twitter then give him a follow at The Fat Door.

13:54We then have Cecil warping in to save Oliver which shows he cares about Debbie,

13:58Mark and Ollie. From here we then cut to the scene with Eve and Cecil.

14:01Though the result's the same, their interaction's a bit different.

14:05In the comics Cecil is not against sending Eve, it just comes down to a technical issue of them

14:10not being fast enough to keep up with the fight. Because of this they don't know where to portal

14:14her in. In the show it just gives him a bit more humanity and helps to show he actually cares.

14:23In the source material I always felt like Cecil was doing things to protect

14:26Earth but that he didn't really care too much about the people.

14:30So I like this added edge as you'd have to care in order to want to do this.

14:34In the book we also get the moments with the reactions of everyone. This includes Kyle and

14:38Amber with the former not really knowing why she's so wrapped up in it.

14:42Anyway we jump back to the fight which expands on the one in the comics.

14:46Though it hits upon the same points they add much more into the brutality.

14:50In the comics we don't see the civilians dying in their droves and instead the body counts

14:55not really giving focus. Like everyone there on that beach, they're just chilling sunbathing and

14:59then we see them like what's that and then boom, completely wiped out.

15:03In the comic Conquest throws Mark through a giant ship which causes an explosion.

15:08This episode may have referenced this earlier though with him crashing through that truck

15:11and then causing an explosion. But yeah maybe that's just a coincidence.

15:15The show goes way beyond this though and once more we see Mark being used as a shield to plough

15:20through the people. It's just way more violent. I feel like it's definitely a parallel to the

15:24train scene and it reminds us how destructive the Veltromites are.

15:28Like a kid's arm gets ripped off holding onto their parent. It's brutal.

15:40Smiling one minute and then next he can't even hit the thumbs up. Well with that hand anyway.

15:44In the book though I did like that the ship destruction was a military vessel as it shows

15:49how useless our armies would be against them. Either way it just highlights how

15:53Conquest is worse than Omni-Man as he's even more destructive.

15:57I have to be honest, like I rewound it cause it's

15:59rare you see violence like this in a comic book property.

16:02Now we also have some additions with how they handle Eve. In the comic Eve believes that she's

16:06going to save Mark from Omni-Man. I feel like this could slightly change the dynamic of her

16:11intentions going into this fight though. In the comic she was never really in the

16:14personal scenes with Oliver like she's been in the show. I don't know if she would have

16:18held back by having them do it or yeah they might just be playing it differently.

16:22Like you can clearly tell it's not Omni-Man and Mark's already told Eve he met back up with his

16:26father to fight against the Veltromites so I think it would have made things a bit muddier.

16:31In the comic she also never builds a suit of armour. Conquest immediately breaks her

16:35force field and just punches her face off. No John Travolta.

16:39So I think this is just giving her more to do and showing she can actually put up a fight before

16:43what happens later on. Increasing the density of the air to slow him down, it's just a really

16:48creative way to show her powers. However this is extremely taxing and Conquest seems unstoppable.

16:54That moment where Eve falls as tears form in her eyes, you really get the feeling that this is the

16:59end. Conquest talks about how he was given permission to let loose and obviously it

17:03highlights it's because Nolan's still alive. Mark doesn't know that yet though but his dad

17:07stands as an affront to the Veltromite Empire. Now in the comics Mark doesn't yell out for Cecil,

17:12he just tells her that if he's watching he'll send someone. Obviously though that's a way less

17:17painless way to show his despair. It also adds into him wanting to return to a partnership with

17:21the character. Throughout the season they've been on shaky grounds with Mark even attacking

17:26the Pentagon. So for him to scream out for him like this it shows who he really puts faith in

17:32when the chips are down. Now what is the same is the I Can See The Future line which is on the

17:36last page of issue 63. That then takes us to issue 64 which begins the same as the show.

17:42We have Conquest laughing and asking how Mark thinks he can still threaten him. Mark punching

17:46Conquest's arm so hard it breaks his hand. That's an exact match to the splash page in the book.

17:52Which I loved and yeah I remember reading this and thinking it was probably the most powerful

17:55thing that Mark had ever done. Like I know he's lifted heavy stuff but yeah the impact of that,

18:00you just feel it. He begins to fight dirty and he even bites Conquest showing how unhinged he is.

18:05It then goes super saiyan literally. In what's Eve's death her brain manipulates her molecules

18:11and brings her back to life. Manifesting the literal power of the atom the scene sees her

18:15taking on it's structure. As Mark wells away she then overpowers and blasts Conquest with a beam

18:21that blows off his skin. Now in the show they actually go beyond what Conquest is like in the

18:25comics with the way they touch upon his story. The major difference here and in the episode

18:29is Conquest's speech about being lonely. Typically the Viltrumites are fearless and thus they wouldn't

18:34be afraid of Conquest. He says that the other Viltrumites are so afraid of him that it's left

18:39him completely alone. No one wants to be his friend as he's mental and instead they just use

18:44him as a weapon. But in him just being used for this the Viltrumites begin to fear him more and

18:49more. It kinda plays into how ruling with fear is a pathway to pain and I love that they gave him

18:54this extra dimension. In the comics he's an emotionless psychopath who just wants to deal

18:59out pain and death. So knowing he's a sort of victim to the Viltrumite Empire's way of thinking

19:04it really adds some depth. With Nolan we've seen how their indoctrination kinda wears thin when

19:09someone builds an emotional connection. So I love the flip on this and in that if someone's

19:13unable to get that they then feel isolated. So they end up just messed up as well and it speaks

19:18to the flaw in their thinking. Some days he wants to cry out but no one will care.

19:22This just gave him so much depth and is probably my favourite addition in the series.

19:27He then rises up behind Mark after seeming like he's defeated which kinda riffs off when the

19:31Terminator Skeleton rose from the fire in the first film. Where things stay the same though

19:35as Conquest getting headbutted repeatedly. That's exactly the same as the page and it's

19:40a great way to close out the fight. Like Mark has completely destroyed his hands and thus this is

19:45all he can do. The headbutt in the comics, they just have Mark towering over him and then the

19:50same panel repeated in the background over and over. So it just gives the idea he smashes her

19:54like it was the subscribe button and kept hitting it over and over until it was said subscribe.

20:00Now in the end Mark just stares down at his lifeless face and it sits in a puddle on the

20:04floor. Mark regaining consciousness one more though and then crawling over to Eve that's

20:12handled exactly the same. However you might notice that they're lying on opposite sides

20:16in the comic. I'm sure and I might be wrong about this but I'm sure in season 1 they did

20:19something similar and had something on the opposite side and this highlighted that the

20:24comics and show exist in their own universe. Though they're following relatively similar

20:28paths they have these little changes that highlight their indifferent realities.

20:32It's the multiverse but that also explains the differences and why they're not exactly

20:37beat for beat. I can't remember whether it was this show or another similar one but hey,

20:41the explanation fits so we're leaving it in.

20:44Now the book then features the cavalry arriving with the collection of image heroes coming to

20:48the scene. This includes Savage Dragon and the like who I don't think they have the rights to

20:52for the show. Not 100% on that as I've said similar things with other characters before

20:56but we do see Techjacket. Still hasn't been introduced properly but yeah you're gonna

21:01wanna pay attention to them. I'm saying them instead of him because there are theories

21:05the characters are women now but we'll probably find out more in season 4.

21:09Either way that takes us to issue 65. The issue opens at the Pentagon with

21:13Mark on the road to recovery. In the flip on the last episode we have Mark in the bed while

21:18Eve's at his bedside. Eve explaining her powers is the same as it is in the source material

21:23and this can be seen in her dedicated comic. That is Invincible Presents Adam Eve issue 2

21:28which was adapted into the Adam Eve episode.

21:30Now in the comics when Eve rebuilt herself she actually made her boobs bigger but it's 2025 now

21:35so best not go there. Beyond that though

21:38the scene with Cecil and Sinclair is exactly the same. It puts him on a path where he'll be an

21:43adversary to Mark. Even though Mark has clearly clustered his water under the bridge I think

21:47Cecil's seeing the bigger picture. Cecil says he doesn't care what it takes and that they have to

21:52have their Invincible reanimation ready. He knows that the planet needs better defences and will

21:57literally play guard in order to do that. I feel like he's giving up his soul working like this

22:02and he knows that it's gonna come with a cost. But still he presses on as he's the only person

22:06willing to make these tough decisions. Also it looks like DA has a girlfriend which is new for

22:11the show too. Has the same nose though, same eye colour, same hair colour and I did wonder

22:16if this was actually a clone. Don't wanna go down into that theory time though.

22:20Now beyond this Cecil later goes against Mark's wishes. Mark in the comics doesn't say to burn

22:25Conquest's body whereas in the show he makes it clear. However this will once more set the

22:35pair going against each other and it shows that Cecil doesn't respect his wishes.

22:39When can you start Oliver?

22:40Before that though we get a scene with Debbie, Mark and Eve in the hospital. There's a couple

22:44of differences from the comics as when Debbie comes in Eve and Mark are kissing. Debbie talking

22:49about being sorry and that she could have taken him away from this is all similar but she doesn't

22:54go as far as saying she's disgusted. She's a lot more upset in the comics though and has tears

23:00running down her face. Here though I think she's just blaming herself and how she pushed him into

23:04wanting powers. Mark says she's done everything right but it's clear Debbie doesn't think so.

23:09Either way due to the amount of crap going down they haven't really had time to mourn Rex.

23:14The scene of Mark finding out about his funeral from Eve is also beat for beat. However in the

23:19comics Mark asks Eve if he can come which is the only major difference. It's important for him to

23:23be there as Rex of course not only died fighting aversion of him but the pair have also built a

23:28friendship. Though they were allies in the books they didn't really have those personal moments

23:33that they do in the show. Here I really feel like they've built a bond though and it just

23:37hurts, hurts much much more. At the funeral Robot's speech isn't word for word but it is

23:42pretty similar. He announces he's changed his name to Rex which will get complicated.

23:46He clearly wanted to be him though and even cloned him to copy his looks.

23:50So yeah getting a bit creepy which we'll get into more in season 4.

23:54Monster Girl says she loves him though and for now it's a bittersweet moment.

23:58Now on the flipside of this Eve's speech is the same as the comics. She says he was her first

24:02and breaks down now that a big part of her life is gone. One slight difference is that Mark is

24:07in crutches and casts in the comics whereas in the show he has cybernetic casts. The comic was

24:12written 20 years ago or whatever so maybe they just updated the tech. Also he can fly as well.

24:17The conversation after is almost exactly the same though with the following scene of them

24:21returning home. To be fair to them, ever since they started dating each other they've not really

24:26had a chance to breathe. Even their date was interrupted by the time travellers and they've

24:30just had this constant barrage of stuff to do. So it's nice to get some time together.

24:34Mark's just happy she's still there after all they've been through and it's a nice

24:38bit of growth for their relationship. Their suits bleeding together that's also an exact

24:42panel match but the comic does show a flower grow from it that isn't in the show.

24:47Now in the comics they explain Eve's powers are a bit all over the place since she rejuvenated

24:52and it shows she can create life. However they might be skipping over this for now

24:56as it's just gonna make things more complex.

24:58Now as with all the season finales we close out with some teasers for next time.

25:02If you watched our episode 7 breakdown then you'll know we mentioned a bit with the firefighters.

25:07There they entered the pentagon and they found Russ Livingston living along with the sequids.

25:11That's why they have firefighters alongside him here.

25:14Either way that scene plays out and we see Battle Beast being discovered in space.

25:18This is another scene that comes from the comics namely Invincible 73.

25:22Frozen at the moment eventually gets thawed out and he's gonna be looking for a new challenge.

25:27Beyond that we also see Levy being given his synthetic arm. We build off from what

25:31happened with the technicians who have a brand new task for the character.

25:35This involves stripping worlds of their resources so they can give the technicians power.

25:39Now they want a new home but beyond that they want some new delights.

25:44Last week I said they reminded me a bit of Hellraiser and it turned out they're

25:47actually voiced by Doug Bradley. Bradley played Pinhead so yeah,

25:50sounded familiar for a reason I guess. The phrase delights was also something

25:54they dropped throughout the film so it was nice getting a nod to that here.

25:58Then we also have the reveal that Conquest is still alive which of course breaks Mark's trust.

26:03Cecil's basically keeping a ticking time bomb and I can't wait for you guys to see

26:08that. We then get the ending scene with Oliver and Mark that goes down pretty much the same

26:12but Mark seems a bit more intense in the comics whereas in the show it felt he was more focused.

26:20To be fair the guy's been through a lot and this hero business isn't all it's cracked up to be.

26:24Watching the series especially the Invincible war really made me realise how much Mark's gone

26:30through. I dunno in the comics it never really sank in that there'd been so many Marks that

26:34had gone bad. However this one, even with everything's remained good at his core,

26:39for now at least. We then end with him committing to killing whoever opposes them and in fighting

26:43these monsters he's become one himself. Earlier in the season he tried to teach Ollie that killing

26:48was wrong but over time this is completely worn away. He's seen first hand he has to step things

26:53up as his enemies won't give him any quarter. We've also seen through his variants what kind

26:58of path this puts Mark on. Those willing to kill eventually become corrupted and just as bad as

27:04the people they're fighting. If not worse. However we totally get it and understand why he

27:09has to be that way. It's a powerful way to close out the season and the guy's not really gonna get

27:14a break with what's coming. But wait there's more! It's not the end and we actually get a credit

27:19scene that's brand new for the show. Damien Darkblood has returned after Cecil exorcised

27:24him during season 1. Here we catch him meeting with a demon but I've got no real idea where this

27:29is going. Me and TJ were searched high and low and we couldn't find any scenes similar to it.

27:34Like we looked through every image comic with him in that was linked with the Invincible universe

27:39and found nothing. Darkblood only appears in Invincible 8, 10 and 16 and we get a 1 pound

27:44reaction shot of him in Invincible 100. Before that though he investigates the Guardian's murder.

27:52Never heard from again, I feel like Kirkman was probably spinning too many plates at once

27:57and just kinda got lost with all the plot threads. So the show could basically be the

28:00plans he wanted to do or the ones he thought of having in hindsight. Kirkman was originally gonna

28:05reveal Omni-Man as the villain in Invincible 25 but that would have made it a 2 year wait.

28:10So publisher Jim Valentino convinced him to move it up to issue 7 which is pretty much the same

28:16place as the show. However it left Darkblood redundant and thus they clearly scrapped the

28:21original structure. So that's what we could be seeing here. The Darkblood story that was never

28:26told. Now Darkblood is featured in the Astounding Wolfman 19, 23 and 24. However again he just plays

28:33a minor role. We again only see him being a detective and there's no demonic powers.

28:39However one interesting detail that TJ found was a panel from Astounding Wolfman 23. This is where

28:44he says he's resistant to heat when asked if he could perform a spell. His image page also says

28:49he has a vast knowledge of magic but this page indicates to me he doesn't really use it that

28:54often. Now there's another scene in Guarding of the Globe 6 which feels like it has a similar

28:58connection. This is the leader of the Order Set talking to some mysterious unseen figure.

29:03Similarly he's kneeled in front of a shrine. As for Set, his first appearance was in Guarding of

29:08the Globe issue 1. Set's origin is unknown but he comes from another dimension and battles with his

29:13brother Thoth for control of different worlds. They do this to prove themselves worthy to their

29:17father who's never revealed in the comics. However Set has specific rules to his mission

29:23such as not being able to use powers or take off his mask. Now maybe they're borrowing some of this

29:28storyline for Darkblood. It's also possible they could be tying this in with Qohor as he's

29:32completely new for the show. Set is the name of an Egyptian God so they may be tying the two

29:37together. I'm still unsure exactly what's going on with Qohor though. However the demon that

29:43Darkblood meets with does look similar to Set's real face. So maybe we have a combination of

29:48bringing both characters together and finishing both stories. His story was told in the side

29:56comics after he was defeated but they've brought it across to the series. Now it seems like they

30:01want to use their abilities to conjure up a surface dweller. They call him someone with

30:05a blackened heart and it's possible this is Omni-Man. Darkblood is in up to date with

30:10and he probably thinks Omni-Man is the one on the surface. Could also be Cecil as well as Darkblood

30:15has had run ins with him before and he's someone on the surface who has a blackened heart.

30:19Might even be Conquest but I know the comics well and I don't think it's gonna be him but

30:23it is worth bringing him up as he's on the surface and he has a blackened heart.

30:28Keep saying blackened heart but I wonder if they'll bond any of those characters to the

30:31Dark Lord and we'll get an even more evil version of that character. So maybe this is a second chance

30:36to get the story that we never did and yeah I'm excited to see where it goes.

30:40As for this season though mate I'm gonna say it. Gonna say it.

30:44Best Season Ever

30:45Shillin' shillin' shillin'

30:47Your boys check from Amazon has arrived

30:50Tell Bezos he's the best

30:52Tell Bezos I'll be bond

30:54Bond is back

30:55Anyway I think this season. I was kind of the most worried about this one because

31:00this is where things really hit the fan in the comics. It's just big event after big event but

31:06I was a bit worried that they were gonna house up the dragonite. What I mean by that is just drag

31:10stuff out so they have more stuff for other seasons. Here though they just hit the ground

31:14running and gave me everything I wanted as a fan. Like there was a point where I thought we might

31:19not even get the stuff for the mortal in the future because it could just be seen as not

31:24really adding to the story. However it added to the character and I was so glad they included it.

31:29Power Plex as well, I got my wish with that. They brought in so much and to me

31:34really knocked it out of the park.

31:35Now the big criticism around the series it seems to be the animation. I think like

31:40yeah I get it, it's nowhere near as detailed as the comics. Still though being realistic like

31:46the series obviously has a budget and a deadline for them to get stuff out for Amazon Prime Video.

31:51My guess is they're like you need this by this time and you need to have it cost this much

31:55so realistically it's not possible to do it better unless they either give them more time

32:00or give them more money. Then we probably end up with a season every 2-3 years and Amazon

32:05might have to earn back more because they're giving them more money and it might not be

32:09achievable. Amazon might just not want to take that long of a wait either as I find

32:14the bigger the gap between the seasons the less people care.

32:30Anyway that wraps up not only the breakdown but also our coverage of season 3. I might be back

32:42for a season 4 predictions video but we're actually filming some Bond stuff at the moment

32:47so it just depends if I've got the time there. We have managed to get an Aston Martin DB5 though so

32:51I'm excited about that but yeah if there's no video out just be like well Paul's off living

32:56his best life he's in an Aston Martin DB5 I want him to just have fun with it. Anyway though I'd

33:01of course love to hear your thoughts on the season and if there's anything we missed then please

33:05drop it below. Did you know as well yeah that members of the channel you also get early access

33:09for videos but you have you have to pay for it yeah you have to pay for it those Aston Martins

33:14aren't free. It costs just 99 cents a month though and we've tried to set it at a price

33:19where hopefully it's not a lot to you but if a lot of you do it it'll mean a lot to us. If you

33:22wanna get some heavy spoilers merch as well we've also got our t-shirt line located just below the

33:26video and you can pick up stuff like the Duncan Idaho June one we've just dropped, Theory Time
