Spoilers for Invincible on Prime Video follow.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Fans of Prime Video\u2019s <u>Invincible<\/u> have started debating the significance of animation errors after spotting a mistake in Season 4 that made Mark Grayson look a little too much like his dad, Omni-Man.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The TV adaptation of Robert Kirkman\u2019s original comic book series\u2019 fourth season has drawn praise for how it\u2019s upped the ante as hero Mark Grayson fights off the fearsome Viltrum Empire. Each intergalactic battle has pulled in more attention than the last, but as fight scenes with major players like Grand Regent Thragg have demanded more intricate visuals, fans are unsure whether to laugh or cringe after a few eagle-eyed viewers spotted some\u2026bizarre blemishes.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The most egregious instance can be caught in a split-second moment during the Season 4 episode Don\u2019t Do Anything Rash, which premiered April 15. Just as Thragg speeds off with Thaedus\u2019 decapitated head, Mark\u2019s head morphs into his father\u2019s, minus the mustache.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Bro it\u2019s real\ud83d\ude2d <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Mjmh6hB9b5\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/Mjmh6hB9b5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 K\u03b1\u043ci\ud83e\ude86 (@tunechistark) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tunechistark\/status\/2045256728111902825?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">April 17, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s actually Nolan\u2019s face just without the mustache,&#8221; one Reddit user <u>pointed out<\/u>. &#8220;Either way how did this slip through.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">While Mark\u2019s new look closely resembles his father\u2019s shaved face, others have pointed out that he also happens to look like his mother Debbie\u2019s boyfriend, Paul. On one hand, the moment only shows up for a few frames of footage and is far from the most important thing happening in the story at this moment, but on the other hand, fans are finding it hard not to poke fun at it.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Mark was a-Paul-ed by what he saw,&#8221; another Reddit user <u>said<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;It\u2019s a reference to how Mark is slowly learning how to channel an aspect of the Great Paul,&#8221; someone else <u>added<\/u>. &#8220;Spoilers, but fully unlocking this power is how they beat back the Viltrumites from Earth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-conversation=\"none\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">mark <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/w41zRvJUiH\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/w41zRvJUiH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sengun (@benjitusk) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benjitusk\/status\/2045195649327448490?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">April 17, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The animation in Invincible has been the subject of criticism from a portion of its fanbase for years. Fans have spotted similar animation errors in the past, but Season 4 has become particularly divisive for the quality of its visuals.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">A completely separate hiccup from the same episode has also been put under the microscope online. At its midpoint, Zoe a.k.a. Tech Jacket fires a small explosive device at one of the Viltrumites, propelling him off into space. It&#8217;s a move that works so well that, as the camera cuts to show Allen the Alien fighting nearby, we can see the blown-up Viltrumite unceremoniously blink out of existence.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Every time they start flying and it\u2019s just the PNGs wiggling through the sky I have to stop and laugh,&#8221; one X\/Twitter user said. &#8220;The voicework and occasional high budget aura farming keep me in tho.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-theme=\"light\">\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\" lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">Los fans descubrieron un PNG cortado en el nuevo episodio de Invincible <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kaR8FnQlZX\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/kaR8FnQlZX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cartoons On The Moon (@CartoonsOTMoon) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CartoonsOTMoon\/status\/2044504803707867336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">April 15, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For every Invincible watcher hoping to see the Prime Video show consistently reach some of the more impressively animated moments the show is also known for, others say they are willing to forgive the aforementioned gaffes or even ignore them altogether. The show\u2019s biggest fans say the occasional mistake has done little to distract from high highs, such as Thragg\u2019s showdown with Omni-Man and Mark, or the fight with Conquest from Episode 5, Give Us A Moment.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;It\u2019s obvious that it\u2019s an animation error,&#8221; one fan <u>said<\/u>, sharing their thoughts about Mark\u2019s morphed face with a laughing emoji. &#8220;And tbh, I didn\u2019t notice because I was too immersed for bulls**t.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;I\u2019m probably the last person to defend Invincible animation but even I get annoyed whenever the fans ignore episodes with great animation and only fixate on the lowlights,&#8221; another <u>added<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Invincible Season 4 Images<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Invincible will air its Season 4 finale, Don\u2019t Leave Me Hanging Here, this Wednesday, April 22.
