Invincible Season 4, Episode 4 Officially Breaks an Unwanted Series Record (Here’s Why)

by

I was really hyped after the ending of Invincible Season 4, Episode 4, but it seems like that episode actually set a bit of a negative record for the series – and I can see why. While it was great to have Nolan back and get a hint of the bigger Viltrumite war to come, the first few episodes spent a lot of time on side villains and Mark dealing with his own stuff. Those episodes were still pretty good, getting over 8/10 stars on IMDb, which is awesome. But Episode 4, “Hurm,” was a real letdown, honestly. It just didn’t live up to what the season had been promising. (Just a heads up, I’m about to spoil things from that episode!)

Okay, so this week’s episode of Invincible was… different. Mark gets pulled down to what’s basically their version of Hell by Damien Darkblood, which was cool because it finally paid off that little tease from the Season 3 credits! But honestly, the story felt a bit separate from everything else happening in Season 4, and even from the comic books. It’s definitely the weakest episode of the season so far, and apparently the lowest-rated one ever for the show – it only got a 6.9 on IMDb! Every other episode has been at least a 7, so this one really stood out as being a bit off.

Luckily, the exciting cliffhanger at the end of Episode 4 should prevent Invincible from losing viewers. Still, the show’s creators can learn from the reaction to this episode, which currently has the lowest ratings of the series.

Why Invincible Season 4, Episode 4 Is Getting Such Negative Reviews

Season 4, Episode 4 of Invincible felt weaker than previous episodes, largely because it presented a story not found in the original comic books. While the show has made changes before, this one felt unnecessary, especially considering the timing. The season finale that set up Mark’s journey to Hell aired a year ago, but the show spent time on Mark’s emotional recovery and the events in space before revisiting it. Many viewers were eager to learn more about the Viltrumites, and this detour felt out of place, even though the episode ends with a promise to return to that central storyline. It leaves you wondering why this story was told now.

Fans on IMDb and Reddit are calling the latest episode of Invincible, “Hurm,” a disappointing and unnecessary filler. Many are unimpressed with the villains, Satan and Volcanikka, and have criticized the episode’s animation and overall quality. While not everyone disliked it, a large number of viewers found it boring. However, with Nolan’s appearance and attempt to recruit Mark, things are likely to become much more engaging. This suggests the show might benefit from focusing less on self-contained, lighter stories, especially when fans are hoping for the main plot to move forward.
