Robert Kirkman Ranks All ‘Invincible’ Seasons — His Top Choice Surprises Fans

Robert Kirkman has revealed his personal ranking of all seasons of ‘Invincible’, and his top pick is surprising to many fans.

During an appearance on the podcast The Escape Pod, Kirkman stated that he considers season 4 to be his favorite. He ranked it first, followed by season 3, season 1, and placed season 2 at the bottom. His rankings reflect his experiences working on the show and his close involvement with each season.

In the interview, he elaborated on his choices, saying, “I would go 4, 3, 1, 2.” He also discussed the distinct feel of season 2, noting, “I will say that season 2 was a deliberately quiet season. We try to make sure that there’s not like a formula to the seasons. That’s why the finale of season 4 is quiet, whereas the finales to one and three were like these big, explosive things. And so I see, you know, season 2 seems to be a season that is not getting a lot of love.”

Kirkman acknowledged that his preference for the latest season might be influenced by its recency. He mentioned, “It’s the one I’m like the most entrenched in and well-versed in, and I’ve watched all the cuts most recently, and so I feel like it’s the strongest.”

Interestingly, his views contrast with audience ratings, which show that season 1 remains the most popular among viewers, boasting high scores. Season 3 follows closely, while season 2 is in the middle. Despite being Kirkman’s favorite, season 4 currently holds the lowest score among the four seasons.

One factor contributing to this disparity could be a particular episode in season 4 that polarized viewers. Often referred to as the “Hell episode,” it received the lowest rating in the series on IMDb.

Despite mixed reactions, ‘Invincible’ continues to be a significant success. All four seasons are available for streaming on Prime Video, and a fifth season has already been confirmed, expected to arrive in 2027.

It’s understandable that Kirkman favors the most recent season, given his proximity to it. However, fan feedback is crucial, and it’s fascinating to observe the stark contrast between the creator’s perspective and that of the audience. What are your thoughts on his ranking? Do you agree that season 4 is the best, or do you lean towards an earlier season? Share your opinions in the comments.
