We’ve been here since the beginning of the series, see our review of the First Season, Second Season Part 1, Second Season Part 2, and even the Atom Eve Special.
Now that the newest season three has concluded we wanted to share our thoughts about this season. As always we break down our reviews into three categories, Story, Acting, and Overall. So let’s jump in!
Story 8/10
The story picks up after last season. Mark is returned to his dimension. He still is upset by the events, and needs to get better, stronger, and ready to not make the same mistakes as last season.
Additionally, he and Eve are now in the right place to start to see more of each other then just friendship. However, as things start to work out though a little powered hero manages to capture every hero on the planet, including Invincible. So Cecil Stedman calls out the big guns, by way of Darkwing and DA Sinclair’s ReAnimen. While it saves the day, it sets off Mark who enraged confronts Cecil. As Cecil thinks this is the moment he has prepared for, their quarrel leads to a fracture amoung the GDA heroes, and more specifically the Guardians of the Globe.
With the heroes split, it sets the world up to be weaker, and unprepared for when Angstrom Levy returns with multiple dimension’s worth of Invincible. All of them have one goal, destroy this world and Levy will give them what they want from the multiverse.
Acting 9/10
While Mark, played by Steven Yeun, is being whiney this season and short sighted, his voice actor is not lacking in skills as thanks to the Invincible War, he has to play the character with several different quirks and mentalities. Yeun masters making them all feel a little different, jaded, evil, or sinister. While Yeun as Mark, and Gillian Jacobs as Eve do a great job showcasing their relationship as it develops and grows.
Debbie Grayson, voiced by Sandra Oh, is exploring a world without Nolan, and begins a relationship with her prior work partner Paul, voiced by Cliff Curtis. A lot of romance is in the air this season, as Rex, played by Jason Mantzoukas, who begins to chat up and charm Shinking Rae, played by Grey Griffin.
As the show moves along, we are also granted with the budding friendship of Nolan, voiced by J.K. Simmons, and Allen the Alien, voiced by Seth Rogen.
There are so many wheels spinning this season.
Overall 8.5/10
This season was a bit frustrating to deal with, specifically the youth and frustration of Mark’s inability to realize his hypocrisy. The thing that really pulls it out of being too annoying is the growth of characters like Rex Splode, Shrinking Rae, and Atom Eve as they deal with a world that is getting darker, harder to maintain, and a ticking clock of even something bigger in the distance.
Can’t wait to see it coming.
Conner’s Final Thoughts
The great factor about this season is that they’ve sped the process up, and are almost done with Season 4. No two year wait for the next season. So you guys can stop harrassing Robert Kirkman online, in person at conventions, and in constant letter writing campaigns.
