Does Oliver die in Invincible Season 4 Episode 7?
No, okay, he gets his ass handed to him by Grand Regent Thragg, aka the de facto leader of the Viltrum Empire and the Big Bad of the entire Prime Video series, but Oliver lives to fight another day.
Despite his older half-brother Mark Grayson’s warning not to attack Thragg alone earlier in this week’s episode, Oliver ends up doing just that. However, Thragg, who I’ll talk about later, makes light work of Oliver – the incredibly powerful Viltrumite severing Oliver’s lower jaw, ripping his left arm off from the elbow down, and leaving him for dead.
But like I said, Invincible The penultimate episode of Season 4 isn’t the end of the road for Mark’s half-Viltumite, half-Thraxan younger half-brother.
In the final minutes of “Don’t Do Anything Rash”, it is revealed that Oliver’s body has been recovered by the Coalition of Planets. Back on Talescria, aka the Freedom Fighters’ planetary headquarters, his surgeons replace his dismembered body parts with cybernetic prosthetics and place him in a medically induced coma in a stasis chamber to aid his recovery.
Did Nolan die in Invincible Season 4 Episode 7?
No, Mark and Oliver’s father also survive. This is despite being disemboweled by Thragg after Nolan, Mark, and Thaedus, with a little help from Space Racer’s extremely powerful Infinity Gun, destroyed the Viltrumite homeworld.
Like Oliver, however, “Don’t Do Anything Rash” confirms that Nolan is still alive and kicking. After Mark returns from his own beating at the hands of Thragg, he is informed by Allen that Nolan did not succumb to his life-threatening injuries. Moments later, we see Mark reunite with his father in the room where Oliver’s stasis chamber is located, which further confirms that Nolan is okay.
Does Thaedus die in Invincible Season 4 Episode 7?
Unlike the aforementioned individuals, the commander-in-chief of the Coalition of Planets is killed in the seventh chapter of this season. Indeed, he is beheaded by Thragg after the destruction of Viltrum.
It’s also a somewhat ironic death. Earlier in “Don’t Do Anything Rash”, we see the moment before Thaedus assassinates Argall, that is, the former leader of the Viltrum Empire. After Argall’s disappearance, Thragg keeps the former’s skull as a reminder not only of the autocratic values instilled in the Viltrumites since their birth, but also of Thaedus’ betrayal and Thragg’s desire for revenge on the man responsible for Argall’s death. The fact that Thragg kills Thaedus by decapitating him therefore brings Thaedus’ journey full circle.
Why does Thragg spare Mark and Nolan in episode 7 of season 4 of Invincible?
Because there are literally only a handful of Viltrumites left. Thragg wants those left to rebuild the nearly extinct race, so killing two of his kin, Mark and Nolan, would not be in the best interest of Thragg or the Viltrumite species.
That’s an answer, anyway. The other lies in the last line spoken by Mark before the screen fades to black and the end credits of this episode begin – this being so, that Thragg and his followers have headed to Earth.
Is Thragg about to devastate Mark’s home planet? I won’t spoil what happens next, but if Thragg is seeking revenge for what just happened to his own world, keeping Mark and Nolan alive to witness the potential destruction of Earth would be a big reason why. You’ll have to find out if that’s what happens when Episode 8 airs next week.
What is the Great Purge in Invincible?
After Argall’s death, Thragg takes control of the Viltrum Empire – and one of his first decrees places his race on a potential collision course with mass extinction.
In the comic and its adult animated adaptation on one of the best streaming services, Thragg calls on his fellow Viltrumites to eliminate the weakest of their kind. Thus began a brief but no less catastrophic civil war where every man, woman, and child stood for themselves while the Viltrumites turned against each other to eliminate all but the strongest among them.
At the end of the conflict known as the Great Purge, those who survived rebuilt Viltrum and repopulated their now greatly reduced numbers. Although an extremely devastating event, it was an idea that, for a time, seemed to benefit Viltrum as only the toughest and most fearsome members of his species remained.
That was the case, anyway, until the Viltrumite traitor known as Thaedus unleashed the Scourge virus – a micro-organism specifically designed to kill Viltrumites – on his homeworld and decimated its population. Would this have happened if the Great Purge hadn’t happened and, by proxy, the Viltrumite gene pool had been significantly larger? It is a question which InvincibleThe source material is unanswerable, but it’s an interesting thing to ponder.
Why is Thragg so strong in Invincible?
This question is answered in “Don’t do anything rash.” However, amidst everything that happens in the series finale, it gets lost in the noise.
But essentially, Thragg was trained from birth to become the most powerful warrior the Viltrum Empire has. He is an expert fighter in many forms of combat and has also participated in countless wars over the centuries, making him an even more formidable opponent to face.
On top of that, Thragg was also designed to be Viltrum’s strongest fighter. He hasn’t been genetically engineered per se, but his pure Viltrumite DNA, coupled with the above training and his survival of the Scourge virus – the latter of which nearly wiped out the entire Viltrumite race – means that almost no one, if any, can beat him in a duel.
Who voices Argall in Invincible?
It will be Frank Welker, whose acting career dates back to 1969, when he played Fred in the original film. Scooby-Doo animated show…
Oddly enough, Invincible is a reunion of sorts between Welker and Peter Cullen, who voices Thaedus. In the Transformers animated series, the duo played Megatron and Optimus Prime, aka the respective leaders of the Decepticons and the Autobots. Welker and Cullen also voiced characters in the Transformers film franchise, with Cullen reprising his role as Optimus Prime and Welker returning to play various Decepticons.
