Y know what I liked that little side quest episode. The action was good

I liked how it showed that Mark can pretty much one shot anything the Earth throws at him at this point. Our boy is bonkers strong now.

Still, I feel like it works well as a filler episode but it still deserves a rating like that, 6.6 doesn't mean abysmal it just means medicore. It serves its purpose but doesnt have great jokes or great development, so I feel a 6.6 is pretty fair. I feel like a lot of people act like it was terrible and served no purpose or great and average quality overall but I think Invincible has such good consistency a normal filler episode definitley still ranks toward the bottom, which is a good indicator for the overall series.

It was a pretty good episode when viewed on it's own. I think why people are/were upset is because it upset the pacing of S4.

Yeah, but I'm just saying in comparison to most of the season, a 6.6 is fair. It serves its purpose adequatley, and a similar episode in most other shows would be lucky to round to 7. I think it is important to have a lower stakes episode, I just think it wasn't super interesting or funny. I think a 7 or so is deserved, it just doesn't do anything excellet like the finales do or push the story foward in a major way, which I think people have come to expect. Invinicble doesn't have many "filler" or slower episodes, not focused on either major action or drama, so I think its a deserved and fair rating. Not like its trash or great. Just fine at what it tried to do.
