All I Can Say Is I'm Sorry

This episode even though it's tamed down, it introduces powerplex with an amazing introduction not feeling rushed even when it comes out of nowhere in the show. It also has great pace obviously entertaining and also the suspense it gives for the future of the show gives it even more poof. And honestly the acting is so constructed and hard hitting it works, Aaron Paul's voice works really well for power plex and actually seems so emotional. Another improvement on this episode is the animation also improves with this episode, the shadows and lighting is much improved from ether moments in the show that it gives this episode even more credit.

Felt like every good thing the episode did, it did something wrong...

Pros:

• Aaron Paul was incredible
• The consequences of HIS actions were devastating
• Monster Girl finally getting the belt
• Solid conversation from Oliver if Earth would forgive Omni Man (didn't really go that deep tho)

Cons

• Invincible having the weird exposition where he should acknowledge the consequences of his actions
• Invincible having that bit at the end where he expected remembering Power Plex's fam to resolve everything
• This episode doesn't really move anything forward and these themes should be in every episode, not just one to acknowledge this material

The first season was so good because the creators picked out issues very precisely and had them build into the main story. Seasons 2 & 3 feel like villain of the week stories and they use the idea of connecting to the overarching story by having the lazy end credit scene. This is the best filler episode this season, but this entire season has already been one big filler mess.

Currently in NOLA at mardi gras with the boiz and just experienced absolute peak cinema. All I can say is wow. Knew it was gonna be good but the highs and the lows, the ups and the downs, the cheers and the tears...... this is what Invincible is all about. Heart-wrenching and beautiful. Best title card usage of the series. The grief and heartbreak of being a normal person in this Invincible universe has never been more clear. I can't lie...... tears were shed. Powerplex was an amazing glimpse into the forgotten grief of season 1. Two seasons later it's easy to forget how devastating the events of Chicago were, but to those living in this world, they can never forget.

Rating: 9.4.

Episode takes a more grounded and emotionally resonant approach by exploring the far-reaching consequences of superhero battles. Instead of focusing on grand, world-ending threats, this installment delves into the personal fallout of Invincible and Omni-Man's destructive fight in Chicago during season one.

The introduction of Scott Duvall, voiced with heartbreaking intensity by Aaron Paul, provides a compelling and relatable antagonist. The episode masterfully portrays his grief and rage, making him a villain driven not by a desire for world domination, but by a profound and personal loss.

The narrative cleverly interweaves Powerplex's tragic origin and escalating attacks with Mark's attempts to grapple with the responsibility he unknowingly carries. The episode title itself, "All I Can Say Is I'm Sorry," reflects Mark's struggle to confront the human cost of his powers and his father's actions. This creates a compelling moral dilemma for Mark, forcing him to consider the broader implications of being a superhero beyond simply defeating the immediate threat.

The title card's unsettling presentation during Powerplex's rampage effectively conveys his mental instability, enhancing the episode's emotional depth.

Dude what an episode 😖😖😖😖 every Thursday I am reminded why this is masterpiece of a show. When the Invincible episode featuring PowerPlex began, I thought it'd be a filler-a simple fight against a guy with lightning powers. I wanted the Invincible War, not this. But as the episode unfolded, it became something deeper. PowerPlex wasn't just another villain-his grief over losing his sister and child due to Invincible's battles was raw and real. The final twist, where his obsession leads to the tragic death of his own wife and son, was utterly heartbreaking. It's a powerful reminder that superhero conflicts leave real consequences, making this one of the most emotional episodes yet.
