All right, guys, you already know what time it is half time as far as the invincible season for breakdown Now of course you probably think it to yourself. Why in the world will we listen to you For a half time breakdown Of invincible season four. Well, I'm glad you asked As you know your boy Analytic dreams, you know only because of the supporters that support the podcast weekend week out month Out yeah, I get the point right basically your boy was invited to the invincible VIP event And the reason why I'm saying this is because you already know I keep it a more than 92 because of course when it comes to that actual Showcase Well, no when it comes to that actual season. I'm gonna give my honest review, but I do want to showcase. Oh Before let me see if I could pull this up. You know what's on my W What's on figure out how to become a WTEC guy. Okay, here we go Ain't even had to do any Mickey research for that. Okay. So anyways, so when you look at This right here. So

Analytic dreams video and Spotify to see the video along with the audio. So your boy is important invited out To the New York Invisible VIP event where I got the place he's so stubborn early. You know, I'm saying that too crazy The shot to all my subscribers will hold him now Salute to all my subscribers after that definitely enjoyed the additional content that I give along with covering the entire music and gaming industry But that's not it ladies and gentlemen And then we have the invincible versus game that um Well, that was the event right and then I also for the game got hands on time as far as the clothes alpha So when you look at that specifically if you're a huge game route there Just know I'm also in the invincible video game landscape. So you know, I'm just everywhere with you know, I'm saying So when you think about oh watching me listening you for an invincible season for a breakdown Just know this is coming from a genuine and authentic place even Even with them inviting me to close Alpha's and actual VIP events in New York, right? So I'm the reason I'm showing all this is not the flex right because one

It's just this is the only possible because y'all always recognize that so the main reason why I'm showing this right here Is it's because of my review of this episode shepherd Just look at the state of gaming like what is going on now y'all can never say I don't keep it eight more than 92 after my review of this episode But before we do that, this is the halftime break so technically in totality this shooting a pretty good percentage if I do say so myself I will say when it comes to the actual show that have IMDB pulled up When it comes to the actual show, I believe that invincible Episode one through three was straight up Cinema So when it comes episode four um you guys I said when it comes episode four you guys But let's you know let's focus on the overall season So as far as the halftime break because if you don't know is eight episodes in total right and of course We're gonna get into the character specifically in the second by doing a talk about the actual um

Episodes first so Looking at episode one of course is making the world a better place that came out March 18 well all one through three came out March 18 and of course Episode two is I'll give you the grand tour Episode three is I got to get some error basically as far as episode one very It was a very smooth transition from season three to four as far as showcasing what Mark is as a as a person dealing with the Fact that he now wants to or feels like he has to kill people as far as handling his villains episode two That is where cinema came I think Similar to my favorite franchise of all time. I don't know if you know I don't know if you're able to pick up on what my favorite franchise of all time is you know, I'm saying shepherd All right, my fault, but anyways I like shows that have supporting characters that's also If if not as good even better than a main character because I think that's that's what makes up fantastic in a maculant show

so I think invincible show that once again with the omni man and Alan Throwback as far as learning about the ultra-mice one of the greatest episodes in an invincible animation history So that that's just one of the best episodes in the whole series because it really gives you Hines it really gives you background knowledge on why omni man was beating the living daylights at a mark You guys Not saying it makes it right just give me a little you know a little background knowledge on why Omni man was giving invisible hands-feeling elbows and when then mark race you could do about it It was just not that you could do about it. So anyways episode three. I got to get some error That wasn't even bad. I like how mark is going through his superhero land His superhero You know tropes of oh shot kill this person shot not helping out the whole team as far as a garnish of the glow I don't even know what they garden like I don't even know if they could be like uh The counters of a city like they did all their names garden's a glow like they can't protect the city

They can't protect a block. I really don't know what they doing out there. So anyways They actually get a w because mark joins them and he helps them with the squares And he helps them with the alien as always the alien races are trying to take over earth So I know I'm kind of like glossing over these episodes, but it's a reason for that. So now We look at episode four you have her which um I know that ain't who I think it is I'm not going to lie to you But then you know I'm saying I'm like to you and look at this It may be the worst episode in the entire series Oh, no, you're not supposed to clap that up. You got See that's the problem not a lot to you. How many episodes that I don't even know how many episodes invisible has had I mean we've been doing this for like what five years at this point But when you look at because when the season one happened season one started Season one episode one happened March 26, 2021. I can't you not Episode four of season four is by far the worst episode Invisible animation history now of course That's just me keeping it eight more than 92

I'm not degrading the whole show that was just one episode well with one episode because I don't like to be this person But I'm very good at not giving spoilers, but let's just say I read the books and um Ladies and gentlemen If people hate on the next episode, I just don't like it man. I said people hate on the next episode I just don't like it man because honestly It may be one of the greatest episodes of all time and invincible history Ain't probably thinking to yourself. Well, what are you talking about? What guess what you got to find out for yourself But I'm not even hinting on what I'm talking about so anyways when it comes to the next episode I think this is going to be by far the best episode um I think If they do what I think they're about to do It comes to a point where Well, let me spoil me. I'm really I'm very good at not giving spoilers So I'm not gonna give spoilers and you know, you don't have to worry about that, but basically uh Episode five is gonna be just like episode two as far as it be in one of the standouts of the season

Let me just say that and it's not gonna stop there like if you read the books That's what it really got me in captivating after watching season one. I'm like they did all that with what? It's like watching justice league, right? And they have a macular storytelling character building and a great finale and you come to figure out They haven't even had superman show up yet shepherd now technically. That's not spoiler Let's show them in the season, you know, the trailers things that nature so you know, they even had superman show up Yeah, that's the analogy I'm giving so um This man right here and a little dreams video on Spotify. This man this man right here All right, let's go on so when it comes to uh the episode let's just get straight to it so um episode four Was the lowest ranked episode in invincible history and of course your boy does is due diligence So I looked up other episodes as well that was on the same level of mediocrity because they're not trash, right? Indistration the imagination invincible. I don't think it's capable of putting out trash. I think When I say It's the worst and invincible in the invisible series as a whole

I'm not saying it was that bad. I'm saying it was bad compared to the invincible standard It's almost as like when a massive fake fan says oh and drama. That's not on massive fake level That's not mean it was a bad game now of course the graphics, you know things that nature I don't get in the video game never talk, but Basically a lot of things other than the story was a macular fin and drama, right? And that's the same thing for invincible I like the premise to telling is just you come to realize the story that they're telling the overarching story So it's a very abrupt home to go to hell talking about how heaven isn't real I mean who did they think it was going to job with that you guy. I'm saying You know somebody who I think that a person saying heaven's not real in a completely filler episode I literally it's like a satanic filler. I put them I I tweeted that out and shout out to people following on Twitter. I'm getting more traction on that It's pretty nice, but anyways as far as me putting out satanic filler A lot of people was agreeing with me because you know Not only is it filler, but all of these ideologies you're throwing to the side as far as the religion Taris

It just wasn't vibing with the whole episode. It's like you just completely Through the episode to the wayside because you know how far your the future episodes are gonna be and guess what It's still gonna be cinema. I want to be surprised if this is the first time you ever get the worst ranked episode for a show Followed up by the best ranked episode. That's how good. I think episode Five is going to be for season four. So anyways And like I said obviously I haven't sported anything. So when you look at a herm It's the lowest rated episode of the series right And when I said I'm not spoiling. I'm not spoiling the rest of the season four. We're talking about episode one through four obviously Episode four got a 6.9 now of course doing my due diligence. I went and found some other episodes I was on that level which you really wasn't any. I mean season two episode two had a specific Which is that So season two episode two. I actually pulled it up They he said about to lose my virginity to a fish. I think this is the one. Oh my goodness. What type of title is that so

IMDB has so much going on so much to read. Okay, here we go. I think this is the right one. So anyways Back to all same. So season two episode two In about six hours. I lose my virginity to a fish that came out 2023 essentially speaking It wasn't even that bad. Like if you look at this episode in totality compared to the worst episode ever It's really not that bad. It's filler, but it's it's it's serviceable filler because of course we enjoyed Rex We enjoyed well. I enjoyed robot. He's one of my favorite top three favorite characters on the show if you want to list hold on now No, I'm just letting them know. I think they want to list. So top three. I would probably say I'd probably say Cecil robot And probably Alan the alien that probably be my top three. I don't think it's changed I don't think I don't think it's changed without the whole show. So anyways If the people who read the books You know why the top two is you know, I'm saying I'm gonna say it Anyways, uh, you know is yeah, uh, so yeah, Cecil I robot my favorite. You know what I'm saying Anyways, uh, what that means is uh, let's look at the rest of it. So

Episode two of season two that was the second worst seven point two rating Which you know these ratings want to end on be all I'm just getting to the objective numbers. It's the case you care So the third rate uh, the third worst Quote on quote episode in the invincible history was you look kind of dead and that's when you start to realize Episode four season four is definitely the worst episode about four because this wasn't even bad I mean, yeah, I'm demanding this episode. You had volume progression at Cecil I mean, you had a lot of stuff that you know, well amber. Yeah, a lot of people didn't like amber Which I think I have my you know suspicions about that But then you know, I'm saying I'm like to look at now I'm not gonna lie. She kind of bugged out When he revealed he was a superhero, but I think amber got some unjust hate especially seeing how little screen time She did end up getting in the totality of things Anyways, uh, so those are the top or the worst three rated episodes for season four the reason why focus on that is because I wanted to get that out the way and basically let the right of the show know They're not gonna hit every shot. You know, I'm saying uh, Robert Kirkman

I've watched a whole interview with him talking about walking dead. I even know he created walking dead I was like, that's crazy and he created invincible and he's walking on his new comic and man's talented Anyways He was talking about how he left it out of the comics, but wanted to put that into the show. I'm looking at that I'm saying to myself um I think it's a reason why I didn't make the show uh, didn't make the comics you guys See that's the part. That's all I gotta say god never I never disrespect the great Robert Kirkman I just want to let him know that as far as the show uh people know You know what people here for There's this abrupt term to go to hell talking about having a real I think that's the main reason why people didn't like me. So anyways, with that out the way very easily You know reversible because the next episode and then episodes following is gonna get to the storyline We actually want so speak another storyline. We actually want one of the episodes Uh talking about the storyline that we actually want is the highest rated so when you look at season four episode Let's see if I can find this So when you look at season four episode uh

You see okay Uh, let me see season four episode. What was that too? I think it was two Yeah episode two Basically, I thought you never shut up. Oh, no, that's not the right one. I thought you never shut up Which one is I thought you never shut up see Let me do some make it research right quick Oh Okay, so it was a season three episode eight. So I think that's the right thing. I am db really needs to do better with their site their site is it's actually pretty terrible um So because I'm actually trying to go to the source and you know When covered in the entire gaming and music industry usually the sources are pretty more a strength for it On here is really night I thought you Never shut

Simple I should just what's it internet honestly. Yeah, I think it's this one So if I get it wrong, they don't quote me But I think it's a season three episode eight as far as I thought you never shut up So anyways, uh back to all same so That's what that was the highest rating uh the rated episode as far as entire invisible series Of course, then you have what have I done having 9.7 where I really came from at 9.7 and we need to talk I'll give you the grand tour and I'll give you the grand tour is this one right here So that's that's the one I was talking about. So this is the episode uh from season four Basically giving the background on uh, you know Hey, Alan was getting freaky wasn't he chef it All right, my father. I can't attack. I can't even talk. I'm a massive fake fan. So anyways, uh Yeah, Alan was having a blast. Let's just say that Anyways, uh, so did we have uh You know omni man having his you know confronting. I think his name is status the old man and you know I like how they're giving more intricacy to no one's point of view on like taking out the Viltremise because in the comics he's basically down with them at this point

um And then they talk about the ring of dead Viltremise. I thought that was pretty solid everything about this episode It's just top tier one of the best episodes in the series So that's why I brought this up because it made in the top five list So when you realize that all the best rated episodes is basically going back to the overarching storyline of the Viltremise or Or an slash or When a Viltremise on Viltremise fight happens is almost as if And that's why I'm gonna leave you that so the rest of the episodes. I just expect cinema Uh getting into the character specifically because I don't want this to be too long But I told you I'm a huge invincible fan. So I did want to get to some of the objective facts because of course Episode five is coming out uh April 1st No, that's not an April Fool's joke is actually coming out April 1st because it comes out every Wednesday So I'm gonna look to when you look at invincible as far as the casting Uh, invincible. I'm just gonna completely, you know, double down on if I take on invincible Like I've always said this that man is just strong and stupid. I ain't no cap to you shepherd

No, I'm just I'm just keeping eight more and ninety two like you just we're in a more low IQ main protagonist I've ever seen And super hero history. I can't let you know as a Spider-Man fan growing up I'm not used to my main protagonist just being that stupid So, you know because Spider-Man, you know, you smart he's scientist. He making his old webbing I don't know what Mark has done that's been quote-unquote smart like this man doing the opposite of that You know, he's taking a break uh mid the world being destroyed by his clones He's taking a break to to help out his his superhero girlfriend mind you superhero mind you superhero girlfriend broken leg I'm like, hold up brother. Are you not a superhero feel if you don't get out there It's I know that ain't who I think it is. That's why I see Sue one of my favorite uh characters in the show Because he basically looked at Mark disgusted. He said to himself. I just don't like it man. That's what we got I just don't like that shit man. I should let army man kill you, but I ain't no way you letting the world get destroyed by your clones Mind you off of your main villain and you over here attending to your superhero girlfriend broken leg I just don't like it man. I just don't like that shit man. I don't like it at all

Anyways, so yeah, I just I'm doubling down invincible just straight stronger stupid when it comes to omni man Definitely MVP on the show angle cap Omni man's art is similar To Darth Vader going to Anakin like the reverse you know, I'm saying so Basically omni man is gonna have one of the greatest arcs in invisible history in my opinion. I mean robot And Cecil Alan the alien my top three as far as invincible, but actually you need got switched at Cecil's number one robots number two and then Alan the aliens number three. I like all of their arcs as a Connoisseur of the material the source material. I think they're following it fantastically I think the way they're going about it is is basically giving you just enough And every single season now not doing too little they're not going too long the only time I felt like they would

They didn't go as long as they could have is the invincible war I know the comics was like a page or two but come on man. It's a TV show like you could have made You could have made a whole two episodes about the invincible war anyways They decide not to so now we're here with the big the big war and um I can't give my overall Review on uh Thrag because he hasn't done anything yet, right? So as far as the first four episodes. I would say I'm the man to stand out Who else? It's pretty much it Alan the aliens. He saw I mean he's always solid though He's in every single show is like I keep saying invincible is great because of the supporting characters If it wasn't for Alan omnimand thrag Cecil Robot being in the show I don't think it would be as good. I think the supporting characters is makes the show what it is and uh That brings me to my next point. I'm not gonna cap to y'all Everybody that wants Eve to have something to do in this invisible I'm saying they want Eve to have some type of important you know statue in the game

Hey, they you don't even know what's coming you guys you don't even know what's coming So people saying Robert Kirkman don't know how to write women and mind you Debbie has been way more evolved than she was in the comics And people and people still upset with that you guys So, um, yeah, don't expect anything else if you don't like Debbie in this show You're not gonna like any of the women being right in there Especially some of the future women uh in their Egregious acts anyways um So that being said, I think the standouts as far as the episode is definitely Alan the alien and omnimand When it comes to the rest of the season I'm going out on a limb and saying that the reason why we haven't seen more of tech jacket is because of budget restraints because Him already not being in certain scenes and episodes we saw He was in those in the books because I could say that because episode came out episode four at the end You saw Alan and you saw uh omnimand in the books

Uh tech jacket was there not only was tech jacket there But he was forming kind of a bond just like omnimand was in episode two Tech jacket now in Alan Also was having that type of banter in and bonding Along with omnimand so him not being in episode two at all him not being at the end of episode five Obviously he's gonna be in the show because you know they showed them in the in credits I think it's strictly contractual Why tech jacket is not more in this show either They want to give somebody a long-term prison type contract where they have to do check tech jacket for the rest of the show or They think it's too expensive to have somebody who could carry the own show Be a side character. It's one of the two because there's just no reason no rhyme or reason why tech jacket isn't used more often It's almost like I put tech jacket now on the same level as battle beast But as far as his overarching story for himself It's similar to that lane. That's why I'm highlighting tech jacket being just completely absent because uh

It just really doesn't make any sense. He Upgrades every aspect of the story. So I'm interested to see where they go Specifically in the next episode. I'm interested to see where they go without using tech jacket because they already Have them completely excluded from scenes that he was in in the comics So I'm I wonder what the behind the scenes is of that you know in the Robert Kirkman interview. That's what I would ask My order, you know because me Somebody who actually pays attention. I would ask like very direct question Why is tech jacket not in scenes that he was in in the comic books That's it. You don't need nothing malicious. You know if you want to say uh budget I'll be like okay, but that's was that that's honestly what I'm thinking of um What are the questions I have? But why wouldn't you put episode 400 now just but I don't want to say that you know You got to have some creative freedom. You know, I mean he can't make cinema every single time But the rest of the episodes is gonna be straight cinema Let me see so I basically I don't want to go too long You've been doing 22 minutes can y'all tell I like invincible come on now

So anyways, uh, let me see Eve uh, there's nothing again to it. Eve. I could you not Eve is uh Yeah, if y'all like how involved Eve was it doesn't get better. It doesn't get better bang or kept to you uh mark Grayson Strong and stupid. Uh, let me see. I'm the man MVP. Where are we good Damien? Uh Uh, who's Clancy Brown? I wonder if that's why they had him in there. All Bruce Campbell was the voice of Satan Huh Don't wonder they put that episode in there. He probably was I ain't gonna cap. That's probably the whole reason episode four was in season four Bruce crack Bruce Campbell being the voice of Satan Robert Kirkman was like we need this in there. We got a superstar uh voice actor It had it had to be that reason. I don't see any other reason anyways Um We have the new voice of William. I don't really care about that, but you know, but I guess some people do Hey, I thought he did fine. Uh, let me see who else who else can we shout out?

Okay, basically, I mean Debbie she's better than she was in the comics So uh, I probably think it's so hold on now. I thought she was an invisible fan now. I'm not gonna lie to you So I just want to give more critiques because I don't want people to think I'm just straight up just being a shield for this uh and overall Invisible brand. I'm a huge fan given my actual critiques and certain things that could change the trajectory of how people are looking at it back the end of the day I don't want to just sit here and tell you how great Episode five six and seven and eight is gonna be because I just I basically told you that it's gonna be rated the top added the whole series Like way to episode five come you gonna realize why they threw that same feeling in there because uh Yeah, so I'm about to go through it. I'm not gonna tell you who gonna go through it because you know I don't do spoilers, but somebody about to go through it Uh, so with that being said uh, let me see let me see My favorite thing about season four so far is definitely omnimand so omnimand and Alan. I like the dynamic. I like the old man dynamic as far as the the voice of Optimus Prime being the voice of

uh Status I think that's cool um Just get ready man The halftime break of Invisible because technically We're on episode four so the rest of it, you know, is after the halftime break expects straight cinema So that being said click my link tree my bio. Let me know one of my social medias Would you want me to get into as far as the Invisible season four halftime break that didn't get into make sure to comment down below Because I totally forget I got started saying that so if you comment down below, I will respond I started I've started to respond more To people who comment on the Spotify thing. I totally forgot Spotify has comment section So if you notice I've been commenting or responding to a lot of comments So if I didn't address some just comment it down below and I'm obviously gonna address it because I enjoy talking about Invisible as you could tell going on 30 minutes So anyways click my link tree in my bio.
