'Invincible' Season 3 Episode 8 “I Thought You’d Never Shut Up” Review

Writer: BarbaraBarbara

This is the last Invincible episode of Season 3.  It begins with Invincible confronting the Viltrumite Conquest.  Their first punch connects and creates a Cataclysmic Powerful force that washes over the area for kilometers/miles!  Windows are shattered and buildings destroyed.  Invincible can’t move and neither can Conquest.  Invincible slips and Conquest force him into the ground.  Conquest tells Invincible he’d be stupid to resist the Viltrumite Invasion.  Conquest begs Invincible to try.  He loves the fight and would enjoy killing him and others who resist.  That’s all the time Invincible needed to recoup and his strength has increased!  Conquest’s impressed and Invincible hits him again.  They collide into a building bringing it to the ground.  Conquest pulls the seemingly weakened Invincible from the rubble yelling he wants more.  


Conquest tells Invincible that was just a warm up!  Invincible keeps punching Conquest through the atmosphere and into space.  This Battle is AWESOME! Out in space, Conquest smiles through his bloody, broken teeth.  He does something weird.  Pulls a blood bubble and shapes it into a heart, then slings toward Invincible with powerful force!  He drives him back to Earth as they punch each other relentlessly.  They stop and hover in the sky.  Invincible asks Conquest if he’s sure everything will go his way.  Conquest says he’s certain and delivers Invincible a powerful punch driving him through a building into the ground.  Debbie, Paul and Oliver watch the battle on tv at home.  Oliver says it’s not too far away and is about to fly off when Debbie stops him.  Instead of preventing him from going, she instructs him on how to fight Conquest. 


She tells him to get out if it becomes too dangerous.  She lovingly kisses him on his head and off he goes!  She falls to her knees crying as Paul holds and comforts her.  He tells her the boys are strong and will make it through.  She has doubts. Back at the battle scene, Invincible pulls himself out of the ground and struggles to get to his knees, bleeding profusely.  He utters the words “sick….”.  Just as he stands, Conquest comes at him again crushing him INTO the ground.  Oliver sees it happening and speeds to help his brother.  Conquest is tossing Invincible around like a ragdoll, and Oliver races to battle Conquest.  Invincible is punched into a fuel truck creating an explosion.  He weakly gets to his feet and yells “STOP!!” at Conquest.  Conquest suddenly STOPS!  Invincible asks him to listen to him, but Conquest calls him crazy as he drives him once again into the ground.  He says he’s having fun and tells Invincible not to give up.  He just needs the right motivation.  He looks at the people nearby struggling to get away from the melee. 


Invincible tries to stop him, when Oliver hits Conquest.  He’s grabbed immediately as Conquest asks who he is.  The distraction gave Invincible enough time to recoup and he punches Conquest who drops Oliver.  They rise and Conquest comes at Invincible again.  He throws Invincible around while continuing taunting him.  Invincible hits him with a force that knocks him off his feet.  Conquest tells Invincible he’s almost there.  This angers him more, and he loses control, pummeling Conquest to exhaustion.  Conquest asks Invincible if that’s all he’s got, and gives him a dire warning. 


Meanwhile at the Pentagon, Cecil is angrily yelling about the ensuing battle.  He can’t believe how things are going for Invincible.  He asks DA Sinclair for help.  Sinclair and his team are building humanoid robots/androids that could possibly help Invincible, but they haven't even had a trial run.  Sinclair says they’ll be God-like when ready.  A Furious Cecil leaves.In the medical infirmary, Eve is still in a coma.  Her parents are there watching Invincible battle Conquest on tv.  The newscaster gives a grim report on how it’s going for Invincible.  He warns everyone to stay indoors.  Atom, Eve’s Dad, is angry about the constant otherworldly attacks by superhumans on Earth.  Betsy tells him to be quiet.  Eve stirs and says “Dad”.  She’s waking up. Adam runs to get the nurse. 


Atom Eve suddenly sits up asking for Mark, and demanding how long she’s been asleep.  They tell her it’s been almost a week.  She sees the devastation on the tv, and immediately wants to rush off to help Mark, ignoring the nurse’s orders.  Back at the battle, Conquest continues Invincible’s beating, and yammering on about the lack of opposition from Invincible and his planet.  He’s having fun, but it’s too easy.  He tells Invincible he met his Father, Omni-Man.  He was impressed by him, but now he’s dead.  He remembers him being executed before he left Viltrum.  He wished he could have seen his face when he told him he killed his son.  Conquest is knocked away by Oliver’s surprise attack.  He helps Invincible up and tells him they can take him, because He’s old.  Conquest says he’s old but not weak. 





He torments Oliver, and Invincible defends him.  Conquest knocks Invincible into a building, then goes after Oliver.  This part is horrible! Conquest enjoys hurting Oliver.  Invincible crawls to his feet, and collides with Conquest forcing him to release Oliver.  Oliver falls to the ground, and Cecil and the medical staff transport there.  Cecil tells Donald to contact Debbie about her sons.  He’s shocked by the destruction and the terrible fight Invincible is waging with Conquest. Donald tells him Eve’s awake.  They transport Oliver back to the Pentagon, and Cecil updates Eve on Invincible.  He tells her Mark is fighting a Viltrumite.  The strongest he’s ever seen.  Eve wants to help Mark. 


Cecil tells her she’s still recovering and won’t give her authorization to leave.  She doesn’t give him a choice.Invincible continues getting beat to a pulp by Conquest.  They fight over the ocean, and Conquest drags him forward into a populated beach town.  He destroys all life and buildings they collide with.  Invincible breaks free and tosses Conquest toward the ocean but is stopped by a force emitted by Eve!  Conquest goes for Eve, and is forcibly veered off by Invincible. Conquest cuts Invincible’s leg, and goes for Eve again as Invincible falls to the ground.  Eve suits up and prepares for impact, but Conquest is stopped by Eve’s manipulation of matter at the atomic level. 


She increased the density of the air immobilizing Conquest while she battled him.  Invincible watches from below as Conquest uses brute force to crush the barriers Eve quickly constructs.  She battles valiantly, but he finally destroys her.  Invincible catches her as she falls to the ground.  He begs her to live.  He calls for Cecil.  Conquest looks on,enjoying her death.  He uncaringly rambles on about the fight and how much fun he’s having.  He actually thanks Invincible for all the competition.  He tells him he was ordered to take Earth by any means necessary.  He doesn’t know why, but is grateful to Invincible for the fight.  Invincible tells Conquest he’s not living to see the future.  Conquest is not threatened, but is impressed.  Invincible goes another round with Conquest creating a sonic boom on impact.  Invincible’s hand is broken as he cuts off Conquest’s mechanical arm.  Invincible’s rage causes him to continually strikes Conquest.  But even with one arm, Conquest outdoes him.  Suddenly below, Atom Eve emulates a radiating light.  Her body;s being rebuilt!  Invincible continues socking Conquest on the ground, but is distracted by Eve’s light. 


Conquest grabs him and slams him into the ground.  Conquest tells him he’s so lonely and how he has no friends.  REALLY?!   He shares the truth about his lonely existence.  He’s a Victim of his OWN Success.  He’s dripping with self-pity.  Invincible tries to tell him he would care about him.  Conquest doesn't listen and forces Invincible further into the ground to bury him, almost killing him.  Conquest is interrupted by the New and Improved Atom Eve!  She releases a blinding light that almost incinerates Conquest.  She collapses and falls to the ground.  Mark crawls towards her, but a skinless Conquest rises behind him saying he’ll make sure she’s dead this time.  Invincible turns and socks him again.  Conquest breaks his hand, and Mark headbutts him to death.  This is really Gory!  Mark is covered in Conquest’s blood, but he’s finally dead, shutting him up.Mark crawls over to a nude Eve and they lie facing each on the ground.  They tell each other they Love Each Other.  He passes out.  Cecil and The Guardians transport there surveying what happened.  





Eve tells Mark to wake up.  They are both back at the Pentagon Infirmary.  He wakes.  She’s fully healed.  He was out for three days.  He can’t forget all that happened, even her dying.  She assures him she didn’t die, just got close.   She was given powers in the womb, and she explains how it works.  She can change all matter, except sentient matter. Trauma overrides that limitation.  She meant to tell him, but never found the right time.  They would have died without each other.  She climbs into his bed and holds him.  In the lab, DA Sinclair tells Cecil they need new tools to rebuild the Guardian Robots.  It involves a lot of work, too.  He says they can’t be rushed.  Cecil tells him to get it finished.  They expect more Viltrumites after they learn of Conquest’s death.  Debbie and Paul go see Mark.  He wakes with Eve in his arms.  Eve jumps out of bed, but Debbie tells her it’s okay.  Debbie reaches for Mark’s hand and he assures her it’s okay.  She apologizes to him for marrying his father.  She had no idea all she’d put Mark through.  She believes all that’s happened was her fault.  Mark assures her she did everything right.  She loves him so much.  Oliver is doing okay.  Cecil stops by, and Mark asks to see Conquest’s body.  He looks at it and tells Cecil to burn it.  Robot addresses the Guardians in a park.  They are for Rex Splode’s Memorial.  Rae looks on from the woods.  She is devastated. 


Robot changes his name from Rudy to Rex to honor Rex. Rudy tells Monster Girl/Amanda he let Robot speak for him because he couldn’t have gotten through it.   Atom Eve says some words, but runs away in tears.  Black Samson takes over.  Mark goes to comfort Eve.  She shares her memories of Rex with him.  Mark is smiling at the thought that Eve is there now.  He thought he lost her and is so happy!  Later at Eve’s house, Mark/Invincible sneaks in her bedroom window.  Her powers are great at getting them quickly undressed.  They make out.  His clothes are folded neatly on the floor and emit some light liquid.  Is that a remnant of Eve’s atomic essence?Somewhere downtown in the sewers of the city are the Sequids/Astronaut Rus Livingston, martian creatures, gathering an army.  In Space, Battle Beast floats among the body parts of his jailers.  He is saved by space scavengers.  In another dimension, The Technicians complete the Angstrom Levy rebuild.  He asks what they want of him.  They want a new home, and other things.  On Earth, Donald asks Cecil if imprisoning Conquest’s body in an explosive tungsten steel cell was a wise decision.  Cecil says yes it was because he’s going to get him to tell them about Viltrum and how to defeat the Viltrumites.  (Nine Inch Nails’ “Into the Void” plays in the background during the future villain reveals.  Very NICE!)At the Pentagon, Oliver celebrates finally getting out soon.  Mark sits by his bedside remembering what happened.  He tells him there’s a lot still going on when Oliver accuses him of not caring.





He tells him he was right about everything.  Mark Vows to Kill anyone who endangers his family and loved ones!The Great Beast is awakened by Darkblood with news of restoring him to power.   A surface dweller with a black heart will do it.  He will bring him there.  ‘Him’ is Invincible.This Season’s Finale was Great!  The brutal fighting and destruction were a little excessive.  Conquest was just lonely and misunderstood.  Atom Eve revealed her true potential, and Mark exceeded all expectations in being beaten again and again, but STILL Persevered!  Was hoping for the return of Rex Splode in some way.  Is Cecil serious about keeping Conquest ALIVE?!  Many of the usual villains are returning in the next season with a touch of mystical ones.  That’s going to be Good to See. 


How will Mark handle them now that he made a Vow to Kill?  Hope he doesn’t follow through on that because that’s part of his appeal, and what makes him Such a Super Super Hero.  Will Omni-Man and Allen the Alien return next Season?  If he does, how will he handle Debbie’s New Love?  Will Oliver get older in the upcoming season?  Will DA Sinclair finally finish his humanoid robots/androids?  So MUCH to look forward to in Season 4!
