Anissa didn't seem to understand & kept on beefing with Nolan but then Nolan showed her place VERY well to her here 🤣 one hit & she got sent long

I mean I expected the General of the Viltrum empire to be a powerhouse but he seems quite weak though like Conquest is generally stronger when I first saw him I expected him to just be stronger than Conquest because Conquest literally bowed down to him and bro was talking smack I mean look at Thragg he is actually steonger than Conquest so I understand why he was bowing down but at Kregg I just don't see it

At the end of issue 144, Darkwing is able to return from the shadow verse after Vengeance vomits him up.

Since he was able to survive in the shadow verse for so long, does this imply that No Goggles Mark could have done the same?

No Goggles Mark, as a Viltrumite, is obviously much stronger and more durable than Darkwing. And since Darkwing was able to somehow survive, I doubt No Goggles Mark couldn’t have done the same.

Do you think it is possible that, at some point after the comics stop following the events of the universe, No Goggles Mark could have returned from the shadow verse?

I was just thinking about this and I thought it was kind of cool.

Going into this I had only seen the super popular memes about the show ("that's the neat part you don't, "look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power" etc.) and had it in my head that it was a take on evil superman. So very little knowledge about the show and didn't even know at the time it was a comic. Little did I know it was so much more than that.

I love the constant underlying theme of consequences and trying to make right after doing so much unimaginable wrong. The good guys are constantly given reasons to doubt their actions and even the worst bad guys don't necessarily stay bad or start out bad. The line "you can be the good guy or the guy that saves the world" is so perfect for this series.

The growth and development of the side characters is unlike anything I've ever seen before. In any other series characters like Rex, Paul, Cecil, Donald, Rick, and even Debbie would be kinda one note side characters that maybe get a short one episode arc but are then just kinda in stasis instead of the well fleshed out characters that learn, grow and change over time.

The way the series presents the perspective of the Viltrumites is so fascinating. They're very much in the wrong but there's clear moments where they make a pretty reasonable argument for their point of view like when Anissa is talking to Mark to try to persuade him to carry out the mission or when Nolan is sharing the history of the scourge virus with Allen or Thragg's terms that he presents to Mark at the end of season 4. They're very much an ends justify the means civilization carried way too far but when they talk about their civilization, their way of doing things, and their reasons for it they don't seem unreasonable. It's only when remembering what their civilization is actually like and how they intend to get there where I remember what they are actually like.

Their ability to inject legit humor into some episodes even while building up to a very serious situation like the Viltrum war is really impressive. It also doesn't feel like it's detracting from the tone of the series or seriousness of the situation. In short at least for now I'm a much bigger fan of Allen the Alien than I was ever expecting to be thus far. How he handles the perfected scourge virus might change that though.

Finally I wanna say how much I have enjoyed Thragg's voice acting. When I first saw the character I was expecting a much louder, deeper, angrier voice than he had. I was assuming a voice like Nolan's but even louder and more powerful sounding. Instead it was a surprisingly quiet, calm, measured voice that made me underestimate the character at first and now feels like the only possible voice for him and sounds extremely powerful and intimidating even while being a relatively low, quiet one. I wasn't expecting the approach to the ruler of Viltrum to be a "speak softly and carry a big stick" type character but really enjoy the approach.

On a whole I'm absolutely loving it and can't stop thinking about this series (in case this massive rant didn't make that obvious enough) and am very much looking forward to season 5 and beyond. Part of me wants to try to find a way to read through the comics but I also don't wanna get spoiled for how the rest of the series goes either. If anyone has tips for how to most cheaply read the series legally and knows where the cutoff point for the current batch of episodes are I'd love to hear that.

Made Conquest’s variant when he was on earth

It took 18+ years for him to fully change while it took the other viltrumites a year max.

Yeah, I'm still a bit bummed about Rex Splode's death a year after watching that episode since he was not only a funny character but he was also a compelling character.

When Season 3 ended, I already knew that things would not be the same going forth in the show.

Rex made up a big bulk of the show's comedy before S3 (notably in S1), so probably... the show's gonna be less funny and only gonna become more dark as the story progresses.

Rex Splode was one of the biggest reasons why I fell in love with the show 5 years ago and seeing my favourite character gone kinda killed my interest a little bit for the show.

At the end of S3, I thought "Yeah... this show's probably still gonna have cool fights, but it's gonna be average when it comes to dialogue scenes. It's just not the same anymore when the funniest character dies."

Also Robot taking his name just doesn't feel right. I know he had good intentions... but dude... it's weird enough that you took his DNA to make a new body... now you wanna take his name too?

What's next? You're gonna take his credit card and other personnel assets from him?

This man ain't Rex, he's a FRAUD!

Like bro, let the man rest with his name.

The Rex disrespect just pissed me off during the funeral scene.

Robot's a freaking weirdo.

I'm glad that I read Rex's comic book origins last year, it was nice to see exactly how he became a superhero.

Man... he deserved better.

Are there any cheap book shops online to buy yhe invincible books compendium as i really cant afford to buy it at full price?

I have been watching a few episodes of the tv series and k love it.

But I never read the comics, should I do that to understand more of the series?

What if atom eve one day decided she wanted to make herself stronger? Like strong enough to fist fight a viltrumite. Since she can only affect loving matter when the mental blocks are off, could she just shoot herself in the heart and use the time she has without blocks to strengthen herself?
