Amazon has released the first three episodes of Invincible’s third season, and so far, it\u2019s living up to the hype. SPOILERS AHEAD!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2021, Amazon shook up the superhero landscape with its animated series Invincible, based on Robert Kirkman\u2019s comics. After the shocking revelations about Omni-Man and his conquering race at the end of season 1, fans had to wait patiently to see what would happen next\u2014specifically the long-awaited, much-feared reunion between Mark and his father.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thankfully, the wait for season 3 wasn\u2019t quite as long. Released less than a year after season 2, it promises to push the stakes even higher, further blurring the lines between good and evil, hero and villain. But the real storm is still to come.<\/p>\n

The Imbalance of Power<\/h2>\n

\"Imbalance<\/p>\n

The last time we saw Invincible<\/strong>, he was in a pretty rough state after his battle with Angstrom Levy<\/strong>, the mad scientist who made the mistake of targeting Debbie<\/strong> and Oliver<\/strong>. After losing control and killing<\/a> his foe in a fit of unimaginable violence, it was clear that Mark’s<\/strong> potential fall from grace would be a key theme in season 3, especially in contrast to the anticipated redemption arc of his father.<\/p>\n

And that theme of change<\/strong> is exactly what marks the first three episodes. Up until now, Mark<\/strong> has been the imperfect, yet utterly reliable hero, but the tone shifts slightly in this new season. A darker suit, even more power, a legitimate rage, another violent outburst against an army of robots, and a sequence from the perspective of two pathetic criminals…<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The episodes skillfully tease the possibility that yes, Mark<\/strong> could turn against humanity\u2014or at least cause irreversible damage to it\u2014whereas in the first two seasons, there was never any doubt about his virtuous nature.<\/p>\n

The young man with the big heart is under immense pressure, facing disappointment and betrayal at every turn, but he clings to a narrow, sometimes immature worldview\u2014classic ingredients for a possible villainous shift. So, is Mark<\/strong> truly a multiversal anomaly, or is he fated to take on his father Nolan\u2019s<\/strong> mission, a man he\u2019s learned to forgive?<\/p>\n

Unless the real danger comes from elsewhere. Viltrum<\/strong> is still a looming threat, but there\u2019s also Thraxa<\/strong> to consider. Oliver<\/strong>, once a chubby baby, has grown up to be a slightly too eager child with newfound powers. But beyond his recklessness, it seems everyone has overlooked the negative influence his father may have had on him. Oliver<\/strong> shows signs of psychopathic tendencies, which, once again, validates Cecil’s<\/strong> concerns.<\/p>\n
