Invincible Season 4 finale discussion
Finale of season 4 spoilers here. You have been warned that people will discuss spoilers here. Don't blame me if you are spoiled of things that happen all the way to the end of season 4, which premiered today.
Anybody else watch the Season 4 Finale and just blown away by how it ended? I was NOT expecting a full PTSD Mark episode to end with him agreeing to let Thragg use the planet as a breeding planet. Its such a smart, awful way to have him make a morally compromised decision and come to terms with Thragg. Also the mid credits scene of Allan being told to use the Scourge virus! Amazing television and i can't wait to see what they do next.
Heavy implications.
I have not read the comics. But I read someone said we are about halfway through the comic run.
I feel like this will lead to incredibly difficult tensions when children start being born half viltrimite. Raised half human, they will likely have their own moral quandaries with parent authoritarianism vs. human desire to rebel, favor altruism, and seek justice.
If time will be a huge factor moving forward, there's no telling how these last 37 viltrimites reevaluate their desires for conquest (no pun intended).
Can't wait for Thragg to battle Satan
Well, if you recall Mark didn't begin exhibit his powers until he was about 17, so there's every bit the chance that there's a decade and a half of time to figure out something to do. The reason Oliver got his powers so quickly is because he's half Thraxan, and they live about a year.
Edit to Add: By that I mean that there's 17 years, potentially, for those parents to develop different attitudes, and those kids to rebel against their parents.
I'm loving this series. I read the entire universe after S01 and the new bits they've given us have been fantastic.
I hope the next season comes out soon. There's some wild shit coming along with some pretty big changes. I really hope we get the Battle Beast fight, though.
