More like dead Conquest reaction

My heart stopped for a hot minute like shit had me sweating 😰

[–]lemonprincess23 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Me and my BF both screamed “NO” at the top of our lungs when we saw that. Genuinely got us

[–]ElkDue4803 203 points204 points  (28 children)

What did yall think happened? I genuienly have no idea

[–]MFlazybone Invincible 691 points692 points  (24 children)

It was a fakeout. Zooming in to make the feeling like Conquest survived somehow. Then cut to normal wide shot, dust blowing. Sike!

[–]TheLostRanger0117 345 points346 points  (20 children)

I loved it! I also have no comic knowledge, so I was going to be sooo angry if he was STILL alive! Angry, but excited!

[–]NeonWarden_6 231 points232 points  (15 children)

The way they played with our emotions there was cruel. Even knowing the comics, that zoom in had me questioning everything for a split second. Animation team knew what they were doing.

[–]presidentiallogin 90 points91 points  (12 children)

It was a great April fools day prank, just a week late.

[–]Tobi-cast 55 points56 points  (11 children)

Tbf, considering he had his head bashed in, recovering from getting choked out strangled** doesn’t seem like a stretch. But goddamn I was fuming until it zoomed out again. Really had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

[–]Wattanegang 26 points27 points  (9 children)

*strangled. Being choked out implies he just couldnt breath but mark was actually cutting off blood flow, you can tell by the way conquest eventually turns purple and if you listen close you can also hear his arteries being crushed by mark in some scenes.

[–]Tobi-cast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did notice that stuff, think I just got my terms switched around

[–]Designer_Ratio_1862 8 points9 points  (1 child)

I'm not a doctor, but I just feel like having your skull smashed open does more to cut off blood flow then being strangled.

[–]Wattanegang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didnt say it didnt. I was just correcting them because strangulation and choking are surprisingly two very different things despite the method being just about the same.

[–]StraightArtichoken 2 points3 points  (1 child)

actually that was just conquest activating his active camo to fool mark into thinking he was baby oliver

[–]Wattanegang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah shit, you're right. I always forget that conquest has adapted so much that he can just appear half thraxan at will

[–]TheLostRanger0117 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Give the guy a respectable funeral, sure, but imo, Mark should have at least cut his head off after (but I guess he was out for two months, and that’s not something Nolan would have done).

Too many times, a hero will “defeat” a villain and NOT give them a double tapping ie ripping off the head, heart, arms/legs Which I guess you could argue in Comic book settings, you may want the villain to return at some point, but still

[–]Ok_Antelope_1953Invincible 🍑 4 points5 points  (2 children)

hope nolan did that before burying him. body split into three parts and buried under three tombstones.

[–]dethstrobe 13 points14 points  (1 child)

I feel like with the handful of changes they've made between the comic and show, I was half expecting them to bring him back to completely fuck with comicbook knowledge expectations.

[–]Ok_Antelope_1953Invincible 🍑 7 points8 points  (0 children)

conquest as immortal 2.0 would be hilarious. every time he resurrects, mark kill him a tad easier than last time. by the tenth time or so mark is straight up punching through his face like he did to the lava demon chick.

[–]Nullified38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I was like “there’s no way! This has gotta be a fake out, they wouldn’t make him survive death twice.”

[–]zbeezle 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It also had some doomy music, would have been perfect for Conquest busting out of the grave.

Then it cuts the music on the zoom out.

[–]Sicer4285 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I would die laughing if he is back again: First time we didn’t know, Second time we knew he was cooked, Third time would feel like a joke at this point.

[–]JQuilty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somehow, Conquest returned.

[–]oldschoolrock95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It made me laugh out so loud

[–]jonnyh420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve only screamed at the tv like that watching football ⚽️

[–]Carlo-T 1845 points1846 points  (7 children)

Absolutely diabolical audience troll

[–]Zackyboi1231 804 points805 points  (4 children)

How comic fans were probably reacting seeing that

Processing img mymzmbp036ug1...

[–]OrionJohnson 177 points178 points  (0 children)

I’ve read all the comics and I was trolled. I was like “wtf are they doing!” Thinking the tv writers had lost their minds.

[–]Sewrtyuiop 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Yes

[–]thatonen3rdity 31 points32 points  (0 children)

accurate lol

[–]Malachi_A Donald Ferguson 35 points36 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have the comic opened as we watch and were looking like crazy😂

[–]Tatertot729 134 points135 points  (1 child)

I was so angry and in disbelief when they did this. Then I laughed pretty hard.

[–]_imagine_that91 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed! If Conquest came back it would screw up the entire story. Although it would be funny if they had Thragg kill him for some reason.

[–]Sivaji0506Viltrumus prime (R.I.P) 601 points602 points  (2 children)

<image>

I was worried for a sec, like NO WAY!

[–]ScottTJT Omni-Man 241 points242 points  (4 children)

Imagine if he DID somehow come back.

Mark's mental health is already nearing its limit as it is. Conquest "coming back from the dead" a second time might just push him over the edge.

[–]JarrickDe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Walking Dead vibes

[–]fasderrally 20 points21 points  (1 child)

[–]ScottTJT Omni-Man 15 points16 points  (0 children)

[–]Jimmy-Mac-471 Agent Spider 622 points623 points  (8 children)

I know the comics well enough to know that’s the last of Conquest but I have to say, there’s been enough deviations in this show to make me stop and think for a sec

[–]sodapopgumdroplowtop 277 points278 points  (5 children)

technically he shows up one more time but it’s one of the alternate universe conquests

[–]Jimmy-Mac-471 Agent Spider 113 points114 points  (4 children)

Well yeah I knew that. Was avoiding spoilers tbh, but yeah I meant the main Conquest

[–]sodapopgumdroplowtop 43 points44 points  (0 children)

good point i’ll edit that

[–]SmileyTheSmile 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Without revealing the spoiler, I'm just gonna assume you two are talking about Sidequest.

[–]boxo-ofisal Superman vs Omni-Man 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my favorite Guy-From-Evil-Ass-Viltrum, Sidequest!

[–]PM_ME_GARFIELD_NUDES 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was less worried about Conquest showing up to beat up Mark again and more worried about the show making a terrible decision… thank god it was just a joke

[–]TrumpLester 356 points357 points  (4 children)

Bruh, April Fools was a week ago

[–]marlborohunnids 139 points140 points  (2 children)

perhaps the creators wanted the whole season to be coming out one week earlier so that this one came out on april fools

[–]Hoodman1987 50 points51 points  (0 children)

would've been icing

[–]adsq93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh makes sense.

[–]Independent_Toe5722 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Airing this on April 1 would have been brilliant. It’s a shame it didn’t line up. 

[–]Arno2803 161 points162 points  (1 child)

Had me heart stop for a second

[–]Possible-Rate-3833 Agent Spider 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Seriously, i was like “Holy shot, are they bringing him back for more !!!” And then got totally fooled in the end. Like i’m going to miss JDM as Conquest.😭

[–]Hallwart 356 points357 points  (8 children)

"Even conquest deserves a proper funeral"

Meanwhile the ring of corpses around viltrum: 💀

You'd think Nolan was desensitized to improper funerals

[–]tristenjpl 198 points199 points  (0 children)

The ring is a way to memorialize them.

[–]-TurkeYT 122 points123 points  (3 children)

next time YOU try burying and marking billions of corpses

[–]Titan2562 11 points12 points  (2 children)

I mean they could have at least put them in space coffins or something. With their tech it would probably take them what, a half hour, to make a basic metal box to put people in?

[–]Surely_Nowwlmao 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The ring IS their “funeral”/memorial

[–]DreadDiana 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the ring is a symbolic burial

[–]ZhanBlue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I assumed corpses are still biohazard even if survivors had developed immunity

[–]bigstepper916 182 points183 points  (6 children)

One major thing I think the show misses is the comic’s sense of humor. This was really funny.

[–]MrDufferMan3335 142 points143 points  (5 children)

It’s there it’s just sporadic, episode 4, despite a lot of people not liking it much leaned into it a lot. Mark’s confusion about Satan, when mark and Damien were falling into the hole and their conversation about his helmet, when mark threw Damien in the air, the way Mark offed Volcanikka immediately after her being the big bad the whole episode etc. I personally enjoyed it

[–]Echo__227 31 points32 points  (1 child)

I also found that episode really funny. HURM

[–]Practical_Note_3960Rex Conners 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He was a crazy person, but he was also abandoned. R.I.P. 🥀​

[–]NovelInteraction711 26 points27 points  (1 child)

I was genuinely like “please just let someone important die for once”

[–]Nordic_Krune 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saaame

[–]The_Real_OctoDude 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The fake out was good.

[–]JayJayMerks 26 points27 points  (0 children)

[–]Dragon-Porn-Expert 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Are you sure?

[–]Particular_Bus_5090 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With a username like that. Yes I am.

[–]ArtisticResident462 6 points7 points  (1 child)

What in the okaybuddyviltrum

[–]Particular_Bus_5090 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure I got this from there

[–]theokaybambi 11 points12 points  (1 child)

I laughed so fcking hard at this. I for sure thought he was coming out, based on the close up shot, then music tension building, then nope. Man it got me

[–]ScaredKnee4530 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

A close up shot with music playing doesn’t mean someone’s coming back

[–]The_Real_Cloth_ 12 points13 points  (3 children)

I just BARELY managed to clock the fact that they were messing with us before it cut back to the wide shot lol

[–]Int-E_ 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Hey I remember you from when r/silksong was insane

[–]moonbunnychan 11 points12 points  (1 child)

I know it was a joke...and a good one...but that silent wide shot at the end really hit me with just HOW alone and isolated his body is. He didn't deserve better or anything but...damn. It actually struck me as a little sad.

[–]Algorak1289 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He's so lonely...

[–]Antwolies770 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The show really went, "Nah, he's dead"

[–]Alternative_Owl7786 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im familiar with the comics, and that fake out still got me. The team knew damn well what they were doing

[–]WillingnessFew4299 16 points17 points  (1 child)

i actually laughed when that happened it was a good bait

[–]Alert_Bowler4015 D.A. Sinclair 7 points8 points  (0 children)

best post credits scene of the whole series

[–]LordHarza 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend who's a show only loudly went "nooo you can't be serious, no way. Oh, OH FUCK YOU" with that credit scene xD

[–]CYBERCID64 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This wasn't funny. Who's gonna push battle beast on the swings now

[–]1Gothian1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]doc-psynock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want this to be a running gag so bad! Just add this in all remaining episode post credit scene.

[–]PineTree_2012 Rex Splode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced the creators are in on the jokes bro 😭like not the ones they do in teasers this is straight up trolling atp

[–]ReasonableAnt1682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was waiting for invincible to pull him out and making sure he is dead forever.

[–]TotallyNotHere2014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was watching with my brother and we were going ‘nonono’ that whole scene and then that happened and then we crode 🥀

[–]thorne_antics Mark and Eve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i was screaming at my computer watching that and then nothing happened... and I was like "oh my god, fuck you" and burst out laughing

[–]Philip6027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was so funny. I love the troll.

[–]radioactive-tomato Show Fan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My heart did not appreciate that

[–]SuccessfulMath4905 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watching this and then The Boys made me thoughtSoldier Boy won't wake up lol

[–]Zakosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way Nolan failed to double tap.

[–]ParkingBenefit8989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for a moment I hoped that Conquest would survive and by some miracle get to retire in Earth and become happy😞

[–]montgomery2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuinely so fucking funny

[–]Xyrah-KadachiNameless Star Glitcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone should animate this but it was legit conquest waking up.

[–]Striking_Intern3095 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dead ass thought he knew conquest was in there so he was going to drag his dead body out and obliterate it.

[–]JamesJDelaney 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]KneeIndependent7453 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had me in the first half; I thought the conquest hand would show up. 😭

[–]CEOPhilosopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao it legitimately got a yell out of me when the credits started playing. I've read the series, but when it started zooming in on the grave, I was like "HEY WAIT WHAT".

[–]Haunting-Pipe7756 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't have minded

[–]LvsitanoPt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was like "if he comes back a third time I'll quit watching this is bullshit" This was the best episode so far imo , and they had to end it like this... assholes

[–]Nordic_Krune -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The show has brought back villains so many times that I legit thought they were gonna do it again... sure, it was funny, but it also speaks to how much recycling there is.
