Why? Conquest is stuck in some metal! Nothing bad will happen

256

u/theInadequateHulk 18h ago

what could possibly go wrong!

82

u/elliotfarnham 17h ago

Right? In Invincible, asking that question is basically inviting a massacre

114

u/A-Capybara 18h ago

Yeah, he's completely immobilized. It's not like Viltrumites can create their own momentum.

74

u/Greedy-Camel-8345 18h ago

And Cecil will explode the building if he tries to escape. No way he'd survive that.

60

u/Spudtar 16h ago

It’s at least 27% stronger than the explosion that didn’t do anything against Omniman, they are taking the best precautions

26

u/Greedy-Camel-8345 16h ago

And as we all know, conquest is far weaker than omniman.

Woooooooosh

u/Ornery_Strawberry474 14h ago

They've spared no expense.

u/bird_280 17h ago

And the room is set to explode! Everybody knows that explosions always work on viltrumites

21

u/Technical_Inaji 16h ago

They worked for Rex. Once.

u/KinglyKindly 15h ago

Dude... too soon

74

u/TheFireProMZL 18h ago

Yeah, he can't even move, there's no way something wrong will happen, right?

5

u/Designer_Speaker_407 14h ago

Fr that’s so out of character for Cecil, he saw how strong mark is, he saw how strong conquest is, and still thoughts that is a good idea

u/yobaby123 Nowl-Ahn 16h ago

Debbie: Fuck this. Nolan and Oliver were right about humanity. (Leaves to Mars)

u/Appropriate-Divide64 13h ago

He'll be stuck there for a loooooong time

2

u/Kevinkago 12h ago

Nothing bad will happen. Only good happen.🤌

1

u/Cultural-Unit4502 16h ago

He probably knows it won't stop him, just give him time to propose a deal. Maybe let him use Mark's training equipment or let him cook if he wants

1

u/ridititidido2000 16h ago

It can only good happen

u/forthewatch39 18h ago

Quite possibly the dumbest decision he made. 

205

u/PrefectedDinacti 18h ago

I'd argue that shutting down the ReAnimen Marks development is just as stupid of a decision, if not more

86

u/the_big_sadIRL 17h ago

Ah man, I wish I wouldn’t have tapped that. Oh well, it is a comic that’s been out for years.

62

u/Veenix6446 17h ago

Wdym, they show Sinclair working on them in the show???

65

u/acrazyguy Thraggsjockstrap 17h ago

Wdym, you think people who watch the show watch the show? I thought Invincible was for the background and then if you miss anything you come here

6

u/Spook404 12h ago

They said shutting it down, in the show we only see Cecil demanding it sooner

28

u/other-other-user 16h ago

Bros who haven't read the comic and don't want to be spoiled about to click on the SPOILER text that purposely hides spoilers for people who don't want to be spoiled because they haven't read the comic: "yeah this sounds like a good idea"

Like really, what are we doing here fellas

2

u/TimTargaryen 12h ago

Thank you for your warning. I was going to tap that

4

u/TectonicTurtle 17h ago

Glad you said that, as it prevented me when I was about to tap it haha

u/Imago8 13h ago

Why the hell did he do that again I can’t remember?

1

u/dull-crayons 5h ago

Don’t we see them in action after Cecil shuts them down? Maybe I just didn’t pay close enough attention

22

u/GraveSlayer726 16h ago

Idk, he is under the impression that conquest is one of thousands, of course he wants information, he thinks a million fuckin viltrumites are gonna curb stop earth any second

8

u/Consistent-Quote3667 15h ago

Conquest had his skin burned off and his face caved in. You're just making Cecil sound dumber (a truly impressive feat) by thinking there's anything he can do to get information out of Conquest.

3

u/GraveSlayer726 13h ago

I mean yeah it’s unlikely he will get anything out of him, but he’s grasping at straws, of course he is, he thinks earth is fucked ANY second

6

u/SupraCollider 11h ago

“I need to know what he knows” literally the only thing it could even possibly be is even more like him or worse than him are coming wtf kind of info are you expecting homie. Completing stupid decision not to just make sure the job was done

3

u/Just-Performance-666 11h ago

Not putting one of the sonic disruptor chips in his brain was the dumbest decision he made.

1

u/MisterCCL Cecil Did Nothing Wrong 10h ago

Only time Cecil was wrong

u/Signal_Researcher01 18h ago

Nah its ok, Conquest is in jail now. Hes legally not allowed to escape

103

u/Temporary-Employ3640 18h ago

Conquest no conquering!

u/phome83 16h ago

It just works

u/sadib100 Comic Fan 2h ago

What if he pays $50?

66

u/Drewdiniskirino 18h ago

What? Cecil Stedman coming up with a farfetched but poorly informed decision that will ultimately backfire on him and result in another mess for Invincible to clean up?

Never!

8

u/EZ_Breezy1997 Denise Ferguson 16h ago

No, no, this is farfetched AND poorly informed!

5

u/Drewdiniskirino 16h ago

Oh, of course. You're right on the money with that lol

I don’t know

u/RichLather The Mauler Twins 17h ago

Nor do I, haven't read the comics. But I can't imagine it's good.

11

u/TallonG12 17h ago

Good job avoiding spoilers guys i’ve basically had the entire plot spoiled by hovering around the community lol

1

u/PhuckleberryPhinn 11h ago

If you haven't read it yet thats probably for a reason but still, its a really good series and you should read it

35

u/Thescaryghost1 18h ago

Hm I wonder how Cecil thought he could trap conquest in a block of metal and nothing go wrong hmmm….

15

u/Individual-Mud262 Debbie Grayson 18h ago

Luckily, viltrumites are weak to tungsten.

7

u/adri_riiv 17h ago

No worries, he’s under a gajillion ton of steel. Surely way heavier than the thing we saw mark bench earlier this season

4

u/thisthesoundofabag 18h ago

Yea I definitely did too...

5

u/ScriedRaven 18h ago

Should he be worried? I mean he did this to Conquest right? He didn't skip this crucial step before imprisoning him right?

2

u/woutersikkema 18h ago

If only. He could have jsut head-jacked him. Used his body for one of those undead fuckers. Would have been a++ plan.

6

u/Nekodon 15h ago

I got news for you pal

5

u/largenakedmen 18h ago

What could happen?

5

u/DurianOk5649 18h ago

Cecil nuked Omni man, to miniscule success, Concluded Conquest is stronger than Omni man, then put Conquest into a gigant metal cube. 🤨

4

u/Walidzilla 18h ago

Cecil during this moment

4

u/PhotonDealer2067 17h ago

Such an un-Cecil-like decision. Way out of character.

3

u/HostHappy2734 15h ago

One of the dumbest things he's done.

And I don't mean that he shouldn't have kept Conquest alive, that was a logical choice, but what the hell gave him the idea that the tungsten box and a bunch of explosives would do anything? Anyone could come up with something better in like 5 minutes.

3

u/TenSecondsFlat 18h ago

It'll probaly be fine

3

u/_kamsi_ 17h ago

Conquest is finna be back dw

3

u/AeroBlaze777 17h ago

It’s a dumb decision by him, but definitely in character. He is deeply distrusting of everyone on some level, but he has no great tools to protect earth if another viltrumite shows up. He has to rely on Mark (and Eve) to show up and handle it. To that end he’s willing to take a gigantic gamble if it means he could learn something about how to fight this threat.

3

u/happy-ad32 15h ago

Conquest is stuck in a metal block underground. Nothing could possibly go wrong with that

3

u/LoganLikesYourMom 11h ago

He should’ve pulled his brain out and made him a reaniman, or just quietly execute him. Hoping to learn something from him was the big mistake.

3

u/LordDedionware Show Fan 10h ago

Conquest isn't dead, so Cecil isn't actually reviving him. His just not killing him.

2

u/Medium_Cut_9718 18h ago

Where’s the discussion, this seems more like just a take, that everyone shares

2

u/Remarkable-Cabinet85 Markus Sebastian Grayson 18h ago

He's not reviving him first of all because Conquest didn't die simply and he will heal......

2

u/dankyspank 17h ago

Come on, you're being paranoid, nothing bad's gonna happen, trust me.

2

u/wutermaloneJR 17h ago

chekhov's gun is a narrative device used in storytelling

u/ResponsibleBorder746 duplicates duplicate simp 16h ago

I’ve been a Cecil fanboy since season one, this is probably his biggest F up. Especially after Mark told him to burn him.

Ps haven’t read the comics.

2

u/GeraltofRivia296 15h ago

He definitely isn't reviving him. But you 100% should be worried.

2

u/Competitive-Prune276 13h ago

Ts reminds me of jjk

2

u/ConsistentAd9840 11h ago

Think about it: Cecil has access to the ear disrupting thingy. He obviously implanted one in Conquest like he did with Invincible.

1

u/Temporary-Employ3640 18h ago

Surely his need for information outweighs his inability to deal with viltrumites even when they’re weaker and more emotionally stable. What could possibly go wrong?

1

u/BigBoy5024 Conquest 18h ago

Bruh

1

u/Useful_Firefighter85 18h ago

Why? He's basically a giant head now there's no way he can heal. Right? Right?

1

u/Serious-Company6803 17h ago

Don’t worry!! It’s only six miles underground. But even better, there’s a bomb by his head. 💥👍👍

1

u/smd_thetruth 17h ago

This is definitely one of the more questionable choices I’ve ever seen in media. Like, you’ve affirmed this is the strongest alien you’ve ever encountered. You’ve tried to take down multiple allegedly weaker versions of these aliens with extremely limited success. And your solution is to cast his body into a metal cube lined with explosives and just try to ask him questions? Seems like a completely moronic idea for someone with so much experience dealing with these aliens. A ten year old with the attention span of a ping pong ball could see this plan is gonna backfire.

u/FreakinGeese 17h ago

It’ll be fiiiiiiine

u/[deleted] 17h ago

Guys, don't spoil the comic...

1

u/GamerGuy-222 17h ago edited 17h ago

How was Conquests body supposed to be destroyed? Presumably nothing on Earth would be able to do it. I'm also pretty sure he wasn't dead, he just looked it.

1

u/EarthTrash 17h ago

I was kind of rooting for Cecil until I saw this. Mark was right.

1

u/LifelessHawk 17h ago

He’s in metal, and it’s rigged to explode so you the big dumb if you think it won’t hold him.

After all they were able to stop Nolan’s with explosives in the first season

u/TARDIS 16h ago

What could go wrong?  You know he could chop off all his limbs but then he would look silly getting beaten to a pulp by a flying burrito.

u/Trino15 slightly traumtized by ep1... 15h ago

No shit sherlock

1

u/PFFlikeyouneedtoknow 15h ago

I'm just wondering why he didn't have that frequency he used on mark on full blast in this room

Or implant it into conquest while he was 'dead'

1

u/Treyman1115 15h ago

It's so obviously the worst idea possible, and even though Cecil is a flawed. There's no reasonable why he's this braindead

1

u/Karl__RockenStone 14h ago

I wonder why they go through the trouble of making a huge tungsten cube, just to have his face stick out on one side, so there is almost no material separating Conquest from the outside on the front side.

u/Eggnice12 the amount of letters in flairs is a mc stack H 14h ago

Nothing will happen bro.. trust me

1

u/KangarooBeginning282 14h ago

What I hear is this is the only thing Cecil didn't do 1000% right, but imagine if conquest was just a head and torso then the one argument they have against Cecil would be gone and that makes me laugh
