Invincible vs. Conquest Rematch | Invincible Season 4 | Clip | Prime Video

I don’t usually get squeamish about stuff like this, but this one got me.

Don't you like... handfuls of... spaghetti?

Are you sure?

I didn't even finish watching it the first time. Just started looking at my phone until it was over

Mark isnt called Invincible because he manages to finish a fight without getting touched. He's called Invincible because he somehow survives getting his shit wrecked every week

My stomach felt weird at the end of this fight.

I sat down to eat my lunch right as the fight was starting. Needless to say, lunch was delayed a bit.

It was real gut wrenching 

One of the only episodes to make me say a 3 syllable F***.

They don't even show that part in this clip

Very gut wrenching

If I had a nickle for every time Jeffrey Dean Morgan had a scene involving guts...

Took a lot of guts really

Same. I read the comics and knew it was coming, and I still winced

I have held intestines in multiple times and I even had a hard time lmao

The show left out a bit of dialogue (unless I missed it) from the comics that gives a little more context. When Conquest goes into survival mode, it’s because he was also running out of breath when he chased Oliver to the planet. Mark then grabs him before he could take a breath, so he was running on empty. Mark notices that something is up and puts 2+2 together. He then realizes that he can win this fight, as long as he doesn’t let go and let Conquest breathe. It’s a big moment for Mark

I love that he is incapable of speaking the entirety of his last few moments alive. A real departure from how their first fight went. We only see his facial expressions and the increase in panic with his punches. And then we see the satisfaction on his face with the destruction he’s causing Mark’s body, thinking that he just needs to do some horrific things to this boy to get him to let go, since he still doesn’t have the Viltrum heart. All for none of that to work and for him to get the life choked out of him anyways. I love this whole fight and I love how it characterizes both Mark and Conquest.

The choking game is a game Not sure mark is playing it right tho

Disregarding the whole able to hold their breath for ages in space thing...

Your average person has about 20-30 feet of guts, so the show is actually accurate in that regard. It's just coiled like a rope so it can all fit in your torso.

After credits in episode two iirc

"If that were true Lucan, you'd be winning"

Something like "if that were true, you'd already be dead"

Yeahhhh.... the soft hands getting up in there with the squelching was oddly intimate

It's been a week. I normally hate spoilers, but for a tv show, 48-72 hours is usually enough.

The comic explains it better. In space, they are in an extended inhale. But when Conquest went down to the planet after Oliver, he started exhaling to take another breath. Mark started choking him right at the point where he'd exhaled, but before he'd had a chance to inhale. So Conquest never got a chance to actually hold his breath again -- he had literally no oxygen intake at that moment, and Mark was blocking him from getting any -- which is why he had only minutes instead of hours.

It's a cartoon tho

There is no real comparison with Volcanica and Conquest, power scale wise they are miles apart. Mark choking Conquest out IS the strategy, as strong as he is getting Conquest is generally considered the 2nd/3rd most powerful viltrumite. Mark simply doesn’t have the strength or experience to defeat him in an all-out brawl, while admittedly in the comics a point is made about how Conquest is caught “off breath” the reality in either form is that Conquest plays with his food for too long and underestimates Marks resilience and determination to not let go. He only stops grinning when he realises Mark is not relenting despite continuing to pull his guts out.

Are you under the impression that Volcanica was as sturdy as Conquest?? Mark knocking the wind out of Conquest and then maintaining his grip on his neck was pretty much his best chance.  If he had let go at any point, Conquest probably would have killed him.

He tried at the beginning by holding and pulling Mark's arms but it wasn't working, or at the very least mark's arms weren't giving ground. That's why he begins punching him in the abdomen and weakening his stomach so that the hand pierce works. Edit: also, Conquest doesn't really fight for his own life like Mark does. We see it in episode 2 where Thragg tells him that he won't kill him because it'd be a "reward". He fights as a spectator primarily for that reason, battle motivates him little beyond the enjoyment he gets from it.

No one tell this guy how long his intestines are
