Did Anyone Besides Cecil Care About the Viltrumite Invasion? (Invincible Season 3)

First off, Episode 8 was fantastic. I loved Conquest’s character and his fight with Mark. it was brutal, intense, and everything I hoped for. But after rewatching the entire season, I couldn’t help but notice something strange….does anyone besides Cecil actually care that the Viltrumites are invading?

Think about it. Rae retires from being a superhero. The Guardians of the Globe break up over a moral dispute. Robot and monster girl spend most of their time going on dates. Meanwhile, the Earth is on the verge of being invaded by an army of Omni Man level threats, and hardly anyone seems to acknowledge it.

I’m not saying these characters should live in constant fear or stop trying to enjoy their lives, but their priorities feel completely off. There’s no real sense of urgency. If anything, their actions suggest they’re indifferent to the fact that their entire planet could be invaded or much worse wiped out in a matter of months.

Even Mark and Eve, who should be among the most concerned, decide to open up a hero for hire business instead of, I don’t know, preparing for the war that could determine the fate of humanity? Shouldn’t they be training, gathering allies, or at least doing something that acknowledges the impending doom?

At this point, it feels like Cecil is the only one who was actually taking the situation seriously.
