What Have I Done?

I have read the invincible comics and i knew what will happen but still i felt the story in an intriguing and felt amzed that the animation put efforts in this episode. Some scenes were just monumental which i diden't expect from a series like invincible which people complain for its animation style. The comics had an unexpected arrival after the events of this episode and i was very excited to see what they gave done. I would say that the voice was not what i expected and the character design looked not that big of a threat as he is but i still felt goosebumps because i knew what will happen in the finale which is ine of the greatest events in invincible comics.

If I'm being honest, this episode as a whole didn't feel like a complete 10/10 for me personally, unlike some other episodes from season 1 that were actually 10/10. But since this is in my opinion the best episode of the season so far, I obviously have to give it a 10 to be above the other 9s I've given to some previous ones.

But anyway, the reason I think this episode is more of a 9.5/10 than a full 10/10 is because I kinda expected more The Invincible War. I know this might sound weird, but I was expecting the war to go on for much longer, Mark fighting multiple alternative selfs, and a couple more main character deaths. Now to be completely honest I didn't really want everyone to die or anything, but you'd think more would've died to so many Invincibles running rampant.

What I mean by too short of a fight is that our Mark only fights 3 Invincibles, and then takes a long rest for the rest of the episode. Another example is that they tease Donald joining the fight, and I got excited that we were gonna see him in action finally, but they skipped his fight completely and only showed the aftermath.

I know that the whole Invincible War is probably coming back, but I also thought the conclusion was kinda convenient and easy for our Mark to be honest.

Anyway, this is my only nitpick from this episode, everything else is absolutely perfect. The animation for the most part looked way better than the rest of the season, which shows again that most of the 10$ budget they had for animation this season was saved for these last two episodes.

The voice acting from Steven Yeun in this episode was great too and even though all the Invincibles have the same voice, he managed to make each of them sound different and unique from one another.

The ending also teases that the next episode is gonna be even crazier than this.

All in all this episode, despite having a minor nitpick with the writing, is definitely the best of the season and one of the best of the whole series.

"Invincible" Season 3, Episode 7, "What Have I Done?", is a masterclass in superhero storytelling, delivering a gut-wrenching, exhilarating, and emotionally resonant experience that solidifies its place as a pinnacle of animated television. This episode transcends typical superhero fare, delving into the complex moral dilemmas and devastating consequences that define the "Invincible" universe.

From the opening moments, the tension is palpable. The episode expertly balances heart-pounding action sequences with deeply introspective character moments. Steven Yeun's portrayal of Mark Grayson continues to be a tour de force, capturing the character's internal struggle with a raw vulnerability that is both captivating and heartbreaking. The supporting cast shines as well, with each performance adding layers of depth to the intricate narrative.

The writing is exceptional, weaving together multiple plot threads with seamless precision. The episode tackles themes of responsibility, sacrifice, and the blurred lines between good and evil with a maturity and nuance that is rarely seen in animated series. The emotional weight of the episode is immense, and the writers do not shy away from the brutal realities of the "Invincible" world.

The animation, while sometimes receiving critiques, in this episode, the artistic direction elevates the story to new heights. The visceral fight scenes are breathtakingly choreographed, and the character designs are expressive and impactful. The sound design and musical score further enhance the emotional impact of each scene, creating an immersive and unforgettable viewing experience.

This episode is not just a spectacle of superhero action; it's a deeply human story that explores the complexities of morality and the consequences of power. The episode leaves you on the edge of your seat, and reeling from the emotional impact. This episode is a defining moment for the "Invincible" series, and a testament to the power of animated storytelling. It is a must watch for any fan of the show, and a shining example of how to do superhero stories correctly. This episode has placed itself amongst the best of the entire series.

I had some doubts about the future of Invincible after the ending of season 2 but these last couple episodes have made me hopeful again.

The action and the performances are the standout of this episode. Steven Yuen continues to excel in his role as Mark and could be on his way to an Emmy. He masterfully place dozens of versions of the same character in a way that feels believable. The supporting cast also shines. There have been many complaints about the show investing in big names rather than the animation, but I think that these last few episodes have shown that it's worth it. I'm especially excited to see the introduction and development of the new characters coming into the show.

The episode itself was so freaking amazing, but based on the ending alone, I'm so excited for the next one! Filled with amazing action-packed moments and stellar voice acting from Steven Yeun, I never really anticipated for it to be this good.

I have to admit, I was a little worried whether or not they'll bring back the quality of Season 1 after Season 2, which didn't really have such stellar moments. But I'll be damned if I won't hypothesize that this is the episode that probably brought Invincible to the top of the spotlight yet again!

The ending was the perfect set-up for the season finale. I did not envisage it happening this season though, and I was completely thrown away when I saw the towering shadow over Mark in the end.

10/10, amazing episode!
