Invincible Season 4 Episode 4 Review: Mark’s New Crossroad?

Welcome to Hell… literally. In this episode, we get get a big anticipated storyline. As I mentioned last week, Mark is still dealing with what it means to be a hero, and his blue and black suit has seen better days. I love this episode because of how Mark explains how he has been feeling. Slowly, you can see him doubting himself. This is so relatable to everyone, because everyone has felt that way at some point. Super powers or not. People try to do good things, but at the end of the day, is it worth it?  

This episode explores the theme of Hell. Mark finds himself within it, and again, those hovering questions are in his head. I liked that he can get his thoughts together in the midst of helping two particular people. These scenes within the episode give a bit of a philosophical root, because of what everyone is saying to Mark. 

Meanwhile, Eve is grappling with a big decision from the previous episode, and she understands why her powers are going. I feel really bad for Eve, because even in season 3, it looked like her future was bright. I’m wondering if her decision will impact the rest of the seasons to come. Debbie (Mark and Oliver’s mother) also is making some major decisions. I am loving Debbie’s storyline because she is finally getting the happily ever after that she deserves. Dealing with two super-powered teenagers is a lot of work. 

Again the themes of mental health, self-esteem, and what it takes to be a hero takes the forefront. Invincible helps the viewers understand these characters, and fully flushed out storylines are very important to the series. 

This show amazes me again and again with the pace, animation, and the voice acting. In my honest opinion, it’s the best show that is on at this moment. I’m really hoping that Mark will continue to believe in himself.
