This episode was simply amazing and the best episode of the season so far.

This episode had it all and pretty much is what Invincible is: Mauler Twins cloning and arguing about which is the original? Check. Amazing soundtrack and song choices? Check. Twists after twists? Check. Viltrumite on innocent creatures violence? Check. Viltrumite on Viltrumite violence? Check. Father and son conflicts? Check. New mystery about a character's identity and his existence in general? Check. Superheros putting civilians in danger and getting the consequences of their reckless actions? Check.

This episode is pretty much perfect with again some of the most brutal fight scenes from the show and new creative ways from Omni-Man to annihilate other living beings.

The conflict between Mark and Nolan is in my opinion portrayed beautifully and the progression of it doesn't feel forced or rushed at all. Mark's reaction and decisions make sense and are in character. Though I hope he learns that he isn't the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and act like he doesn't want to actually kill in this ultra-violent world.

The storyline with Debbie is also going smoothly and I think now I can understand where it's going, or I assume it will, and it's her dealing with Nolan when they reunite again.

I feel like Atom Eve's story is getting a little repetitive and she should've learned her lessons by now, but I doubt they'll repeat the same thing next week.

Overall it's a pretty great and brutal episode and the season is getting better and better. Wish there were more episodes per season because I can't get enough of this world and its characters.

Nolan finally comes back in the greatest fashion possible and we finally learn what he was up to after leaving Earth. Long story short - he missed his life on Earth, so he got together with an alien woman, and that's where Mark's half-brother Oliver comes in. What ensues is such an interesting conflict: Mark is completely against ever working side by side with his father, but can't leave Nolan's new planet - Thraxa -'s inhabitants to just die; even Nolan's reckless choice to have a new life on Thraxa and sealing the fates of its people is almost understandable, because letting go of something he never felt before coming to Earth - love - did a number on him and without it, he would've just flown through space aimlessly until his air ran out. An incredible character.

Also, the animation in this episode is some of the best in the series as a whole, masterful. Viltrumites Lucan, Vidor and Thula were great and very intimidating villains. The way they and all their people are completely convinced that their extremely cruel and unforgiving ways are in the right and need to be enforced at all costs makes them frightening and makes you want Mark (and Nolan by extension) to break their shackles all the more. Donald finding out about his mysterious resurrection and his suicide attempt is another good plot thread, looks like he'll get to the bottom of it.

If I hadn't said it already, amazing performances by Steven Yeun, the returning legend J. K. Simmons, Grey DeLisle as Thula, Phil LaMarr as Lucan etc. Great show.

After the slow burn that was the first three episodes of invincible this was an amazing pick up in pace and story. There is more direction for the character and the main plot of the show now as we get Omni-Man back and he delivers some informative and engaging dialogue to his son. Seeing Omni-Man back is amazing and to see this depressed and weak state of the character is interesting too but seeing he hasn't lost his touch on his brutality is something I am very happy about. He has some controversial words in this about him starting a new family too which is interesting and creates more drama for Marks character. Everyone is also very pissed off in this episode with lots of language and they definitely all have a right to be, everything is chaos and the world is forever expanding. Debbie is absolutely going through it again but finally realising she never needed Nolan after all and basically raised Mark on her own. Donald's story is mysterious too and leaves questions but I'm pretty sure he is like a terminator with a metal exoskeleton, really want to see more about that. But this episode was action packed with Nolan and Mark fighting other viltrumies with tons of blood and brutal deaths. I do really want to see Mark at full power and listen to his dad to unleash. The ending with Nolan taken back to Viltrum is crazy and Mark being told to get Earth ready to be conquered too is wild. The episode really shows the power of viltrumies but also teases how strong Mark can be if he allows himself, also the epic team up with father and son. Overall this episode was absolutely epic on scale and very intriguing and can't wait to see the next 4 episodes next year (unfortunately got to wait)

So, when season two came out I remember when i was a few episodes in I felt like it wasn't gonna hold up to season one because of the action, but this episode makes up for all the newer episodes that came out aside from episode 3 which showed Allen the Alien Get Killed anyway we get to finally see Omni man for the first time since episode 8 this episode was really good we get to see what happened to Omni man after he left earth after the aftermath in Chicago you get to see that he is living on a different planet and moved on with his life he has a Wife and also a child who is also half Viltrumite just like Mark it's still scary to see Omni man after what he did though anyway, we get to see by far one of the best fights we've seen in season two where Mark Omni man fight other Viltrumites this had to be the most violent fight I've seen in all the season. Amazing episode I mean the amount of violence is crazy. 10/10.

After several falls this season, the series returned to what makes it interesting, superheroes having to deal with real problems that threaten the world as we know it. Includes family dramas that will of course have you glued to your seat. Honestly, at first I had no faith in an episode that would once again involve Omni-man in a relationship with her son, but it was a pleasant surprise since they did it in a completely shocking way, thus demonstrating feelings of the superhero that had not been expressed. Seen before. And to put the icing on the cake, we had an epic fight where father and son join forces against a real threat, so far the best of the season.

Was just WAITING for that Staind song to play! Missed opportunity. The soundtrack in this series is so dang great though.

Anyway, loved this episode obviously.

This almost feels like a season finale. I can see why there's a mid-season break I guess. I loved reading through the comics, and this series makes me want to revisit them. It has so far done them justice if you ask me.

Mark is such a great character, and such a nice guy. It's a shame that things just keep getting worse for him (and the worst is unforgettable to come, doubt we'll get that stuff this season). It'll be interesting when he gets to the point that he literally cannot hold back his punches. His dad is actually right in those regards.

Also love what they're done with Debbie's far. I'm really content with her in this episode especially. Very excited to see where they're taking her character.

Also happy to see Eve getting so much progression and screen time. I really loved her special and I really loved her in the comics.

And Donald is getting an arc too? How random. I'm actually excited for more of him. All of his scenes were sooooo depressing.

And yeah, the last act in this episode was brutal and intense. Poor Mark!

The next half of this season can't come soon enough. The show's animation, comic book callbacks and voice work have all been really, really good. Great stuff.

I am surprised that this episode is gathering so many positive reviews .

People, this episode turn me completely off from the series . There is no logic to it:

He decided to attack and take earth by force, with almost no regards about his family - family that he created during 20 years - but from scratch he is now with a new family and doing his best to save them , even using is older child , risking his life, to save them.

A family that he has just created... okay, there is truly no sense to it , no logic . Obviously the fight scenes etc are well crafted but still, where is the story ? We need ground to walk on.

This was a good episode in a pretty good program series so far and interesting changes from comics to series like some don't like other's and hoping for future some change and some same like mark and eve hope they still end up together.

Thought was interesting how his half bro is purple happy not changed that and action was good from what could see.

Notes: #. Please stop ruining cool action parts by shaking screen like did when hits made contact, it's not good it's terrible makes dizzying and hard to see view and jumping around is just confusing. Please stop doing this #. Mores blue brothers interesting also what he said at end was cool.

#. Amber sigh why is she still in this series no matter how 100% change in personality from season 1 damage already done can't just suddenly change her like this and it make sense to story. Shame she still in story at all ahhh. Also she is the most ugly character in whole program so far her comic version is quite attractive personality & appearance though.

Thanks for making and was interesting story also not bad put together should be interesting see what happens next.

(And trouble mark has finding way home haha.)

Worst trash I've seen this year it's extremely dumb and boring and gave me more headache than joy. It's a complete waste of time and it's a subversion of excpectations from what was built up in s1 and unilaterally in a bad way, it's like they did a full bone graft of everything that worked from s1 and replaced it with maneur so it's nice and full of chit for 4 episodes. I feel bait and switched here I excpected an exciting suerhero animation but got a stupid slow and boring exaggerated and stretcht out soapy goo that never seemed to end. Can't believe people actually like s2 possibly fake hype ? What a disappointment a disgraceful way to follow up the greatness in quality from s1 I'm out and it's a sollid 1/10 from me.
