Invincible Season 4 first look reveals Thragg & “foreshadows” huge comic moment

by

As the premiere of Invincible Season 4 on Prime Video nears, new photos offer a first glimpse of the character Thragg. However, one particular image has sparked excitement among fans, who believe it hints at a significant storyline involving Robot, mirroring a major event from the comic books.

Invincible stands out as a top-tier superhero show thanks to its well-developed characters, intense action, and willingness to challenge typical superhero storylines. The third season solidified this reputation, culminating in a massive finale where Mark Grayson battled Conquest.

Plus, the scene after the credits shows Damien Darkblood is back – you’ll remember him as the demon detective Cecil banished to Hell in the first season of Invincible.

While the show took a slightly different path than the original comic books, it generally stays true to the source material. Because of this, the recent glimpse of Invincible Season 4 has fans wondering what’s next for Robot. Be warned: the following discusses major plot points from the comics!

Invincible fans think Season 4 image “foreshadows” Robot pivot 

Although Thragg is expected to be the main villain in Invincible Season 4, a recent image released by Forbes has sparked speculation among fans. The photo shows Mark and his team in front, with Robot facing away from them, leading some to believe this hints at Robot’s eventual betrayal.

Robot’s development throughout Invincible has been remarkably well-crafted, subtly building towards his need for control and his rigid sense of right and wrong.

In the comics, this sets the stage for Robot to become a significant villain. He attempts to rebuild the world based on his vision of a perfect society, and he’s willing to eliminate other heroes if he thinks it will ultimately benefit everyone.

Because this part of the story hasn’t happened yet, fans believe the scene of Robot turning his back on the group is a clue about future events. One fan on Reddit commented, “That scene is perfect—it’s clearly foreshadowing!”

The scene left viewers wondering about its meaning, with one commenter asking, “What is this hinting at? I’m familiar with the source material, so spoilers are fine, but I’m just not understanding it.” Another user suggested the answer lies with the character Robot, saying, “Pay attention to who’s pulling the strings.”

Someone else said, “Thanks, I didn’t notice him,” and another person joked, “That robot is definitely planning to betray everyone!”

Not everyone agrees, and one commenter believes it’s too soon to tell if this is a deliberate hint about something that will happen later.

Someone else pointed out that the show had been hinting at this all along, making it simpler to incorporate now that the writers already know the ending.

Someone else added that foreshadowing doesn’t necessarily mean it’s happening right now, only that it will happen sometime later.

Now that Thragg has arrived as the new big bad in the show, it’s doubtful we’ll see Robot’s storyline fully resolved in Invincible Season 4. The recent imagery probably just serves as a signal that Robot’s story isn’t over and will likely reappear later.

Fans are really looking forward to seeing Thragg – voiced by Lee Pace – brought to life on screen. One fan commented, “Thragg looks perfect!” while another praised the show’s attention to detail, saying, “They even nailed his hairline from the comics. It’s a perfect 10/10!”

The fourth season of Invincible will arrive on Prime Video in March 2026. While you wait, you can learn about the upcoming Invincible movie, a debated storyline involving Oliver in the original comics, and other shows similar to Invincible.
