I didn’t like the episode. It didn’t build on Eve’s existing traits or anything about her character at all. It could’ve applied to literally any character with little-to-no plot changes. Additionally, Eve never really completes her character arc or learns anything in the episode. Also, she says how her “siblings” killed THEMSELVES over her, when CLEARLY, she murdered them. Besides the plot, the animation, writing, voice-acting, and emotion felt weak and boring. This episode felt completely unnecessary and meaningless. Also, It didn’t ever go anywhere in Invincible proper. Am I wrong?
I loved it because it showed us where Eve came from which is important to understand and for the majority of people that haven’t read the comics it would have been fun for them to see her origin story. It also shows more of her family life and the relationship she has with her father which is an important aspect of her character and will be important going forward with her character
I think it’s a little unfair to that say she ”murdered” them considering her siblings were not going to leave her alone until they had killed her and Eve was just a kid in this episode so her choice was to either kill or be killed as she hadn’t been in many fights at this point in time while her sibling’s obviously had some sort of healing factor so they would keep on coming to kill her unless she put an end to them. An older Eve probably would have found a way to incapacitate them or would have been able to call for help from the Guardians or something, but young Eve was on her own and still trying to get a grasp of her abilities and she obviously didn’t want to die, so she killed them because she felt like she had no other choice.
