INVINCIBLE SEASON 4 SERIES REVIEW
Everybody’s favorite Global Defence Agent justifies sketchy immoral methods by saying “We can be the good guys, or we can be the guys that save the world. We can’t be both”. Cecil’s code of conviction demands that the ends justify the means. Mark is done with that extreme way of thinking but he’s not done with helping people. Look up in the sky, it’s a success, its an expanded universe, it’s a non Marvel or DC super hero IP! Amazon Prime Video presents the fourth season of Invincible, an animated series about a young superhero raised by an alien from a tyrannical authoritative empire. Mark (Steven Yeun) with the hero moniker Invincible has a younger half-brother, a mother, and a girlfriend he’s madly in love with, but he refuses to take a break from superheroics. Talking dinosaurs, body snatching jellyfish, a machine-headed gangster…and these are just problems in his own city. All of this falls by the wayside when Mark’s father Omniman (J.K. Simmons) , who was once earth’s champion but who turned into earth’s greatest villain, informs Mark that an invasion is coming. To stop the Viltrumites from destroying his home they will have to take the fight to Viltrum itself. The Grand Regent Thragg (Lee Pace) has marked Earth for conquest and his powers and strength exceed what Mark and his father are capable of handling alone. Mark will have to assemble a team of heroes from across the universe to stop them from dominating their world. Bradly, Kim, Rod, and Caroline discuss the new threat in Thragg, the complicated relationship fans have with the animation and its deadlines, and debate the Nolan redemption tour. Can a god be forgiven for what they do to humans? Hear the arguments and decide for yourself.

YOUR REVIEWERS
Bradly Martin (Screener Squad Boss, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)
Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and maybe even providing some comments of his own.
Kimberly Brown (Highly Suspect Reviews)
Kimberly wants to live in a world filled with blue telephone boxes, speedsters, and ice dragons but through an ironic twist of fate, she’s stuck in this reality where these wondrous things only exist on page or film. Kim’s perpetual desire to consume sci-fi and fantasy media as a teen led her to the study of illustration/design at university to better understand its creation. Currently an Austin transplant, when she’s not wearing her critic hat you can find her pretending to like hiking, fielding questions about her hair or maybe even enjoying a local brew at the nearest dive bar.
Rod Nunley (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad)
An Austin native born military brat, Rod Nunley picked up his first comic book in Holland while waiting for his father to get out of work and was thrust into a world of nerdom. Now a full time single father he spends his days educating his son in the ways of being a geek with great bombast. Teaching his young pasawan the ways of D&D, sci-fi, fantasy books and all the great nerd films and content rivers he himself swam in his whole life. A karaoke singing, photo shoot taking, apartment locating and every doggo/kitty petting fan of all of all things geeky.
Caroline Sulek
Caroline Sulek resides in Mckinney, TX with her son Henry and two cats: Sally and Rocky. As a mom, corporate baddie, and unabashed lover of all things silly, spooky, and creative, she brings a unique perspective to the One of Us network. Her love of art and movies started long ago when she and her brother, Wright, would spend entire summer vacations in front of the TV and she would draw portraits of Wright as he sat watching for hours. Caroline has been a frequent guest and fan favorite of the Trash in the Can podcast with her brother, Wright, and his life podcast partner, Eric Samaniego. Caroline enjoys the most gruesome of horror movies and the most bingeable of reality shows and anywhere in between!
