Invincible Season 4 Episode 7 Review: Thragg’s New Era Begins?

Special thanks to Prime for Screeners of Invincible.

This is when everything comes to a really emotional war. As the audience, we knew that Mark (voiced by Steven Yeun) was going into this war with a level head. Mark uses his tablet to record a heartfelt message to Eve (voiced by Gillian Jacobs), explaining this will be a “just in case” video to her. Mark still does not know Eve is pregnant. In the back of my mind, I am wondering how and when Mark will find out. It’s really cool though, because Oliver (voiced by Christian Convery) will be an Uncle, and Nolan (voiced by J.K. Simmons) will be a grandfather. Who knows what kind of special powers that the child will have? It seems that the unborn baby will be in the same predicament as Mark.

This episode is brutal, with Thragg (voiced by Lee Pace), who now seems to have total power over all of the Viltramites.  Thragg is probably the most brutal villain that I have ever seen. He was described in many episodes as the most ruthless person, and he leads with an iron fist. During this episode, I was on the edge of my seat. Really wondering if Invincible and his crew can actually win this. Not that anyone is not strong, because Nolan, Oliver, and Mark are very strong. I don’t want to give too much away, but this episode is quite emotional. I was worried going into it, and was stunned during the final few moments that were shown. I now know the extent of the Viltramite power, and I’m still rooting for the people who want to end this war. 

Once again, this storytelling is top-tier. Most animated shows are not as crafted as Invincible is. It is in a way where the pacing is solid, and I am never bored. I still am really afraid of Thragg and possibly what he is capable of. There is one moment in the episode where I was surprised at what he did. It definitely was out of his character, but I was really relieved. Hopefully, the season finale can answer more of the questions that this episode set up. My final question to all of this is: What is Thragg about to do?
