Hoo boy that was an excellent season finale. Such a great fight. Once again I felt like this was going to take more episodes than it did based on how much it was hyped, but nearly an entire episode of fighting, something we haven't had before, is adequate enough I suppose.
This was some DBZ stuff with Mark seeming to break his limits as the fight went on. Conquest's punches were sending him reeling, but as Conquest went for the fatality with the heart grab, he completely tanked it. As Mark's total bone count was increasing, he started hitting harder and harder. He went full "I thought you were stronger!" on Conquest at the end.
Was awesome to see Atom Eve use her Ultimate form. I had no idea how she was going to get out of her Nearly Bifurcated Eve situation. Her fight leading up to that point was her most creative use of her powers yet. Very impressive. Good showing of her being this universe's better Green Lantern.
I'm gonna enjoy watching the Viltrumite Reanimen vs. the inevitable full Viltrumite invasion.
Beautiful memorial service. Eve and Mark getting to the baby making so quickly afterwards is kinda awkward, especially when one of them is all bruised with 3/4 non functioning limbs. At least we know how future Robot became Rex.
Mark finally chooses a side. Human or alien? I don't think he'll discriminate anymore. Will this make him a bigger danger to Earth and it's inhabitants? Only time will tell.
Lot of things to come for next season. This universe's Earth can't catch a break. Those bastard sequids are coming back. Reanimen are going to be super useful here if they can't control dead bodies. Battle Beast floating around the shredded remains of his Viltrumite opponent with seemingly no worse for wear and then immediately reanimating upon entering a stable atmosphere lusting for more. Levy was pretty quick to payout on his deal. Maybe he understands how fucked he is.
A bit bummed to know how some things will turn out for the future. Not from deliberately looking for it, but just casually strolling through YouTube and seeing these things in the thumbnail.

really wish mark at the start had asked to take the fight out of the city conquest (at that stage) likely would have shrugged and agreed (later obviously when his battle lust was going he would not care)
Yeah I was commenting to myself he should have asked to take it somewhere else and explain he can't go all out like Conquest wants if he's putting civilians in danger.

thoe the slaughtering of civilians is just getting boring
it has no weight to it anymore
hell mark getting his ass kicked has no weight anymore
As nice as the fight was and mirroring a savage and devasting moment from season 1 to emphasize the brutality of it all, you bring up a good point imo. I probably won't get tired of it but it kinda happens all the time.
