It’s funny that people are calling this a filler episode when they used it to set up so many future events.

They set up: * Mark’s weakness to sonic blasts with the Atlantis monster * Eve’s return to superhero work with the playground collapse * Doc Seismic’s control of the earth monsters * Night Boy, which leads to the fight between Cecil and Mark * Rise of Lizard League and the Sequids * Angstrom visiting the other Invincibles

The first two points weren’t even in the comics. Cecil just kinda had a lucky guess that the sonic weapon would work and Eve just went back to superheroics to help Mark IIRC. I like this better, though I’m a little disappointed we didn’t get Mark in the fish costume.

Well, for people that don’t know how a lot of this will pay off in a big way in the future, it makes sense this seems like a low stakes diversion and not that several important plot points have been introduced. Kinda like how in season 1 the Martian episode was also “filler” which didn’t pay off until this episode now.

Yeah I get why people could think that, but it was a little disappointing seeing how many show only people didn't like the episode. Hopefully they'll see how it gets tied in.

Maybe we can rub them in their show exclusive faces by showing individual scenes once the pay off moments get adapted.
