Did they also get super meta about when the next season would be coming?

They said atleast a year, atleast they didn't say 2?

I think you're right, they didn't give an exact date unfortunately, but said it'll be a lot quicker than the time gap between Seasons 1 and 2.

Holy shit, can you imagine if THIS episode was the reason they delayed the second half?

They had a hitch in S3 production and decided to delay this episode so their little Easter egg joke was still legit.

I'm going to call this #invinciblegate

Sing the debat just because of Amazon greed? So they can stretch subscriptions to 4-6 months instead of 2 months.

Im sure the primary reasons were probably financially motivated rather than for making a throwaway line joke.

God, and the amount of people bitching under the trailer about it not all being released together and I LITERALLY SAID TO THEM "animation takes time, would you rather they overwork their animators" makes this episode a thousand times funnier to me!!

The animation was done before the break though, the gap was an artistic meta choice by the show runner to give us a break after the mid-season climax (or so he says)

The more I think about it, the more I'm actually convinced this meta joke COULD have been a contributing factor.

Also they made some promises about "the production gap between S2/3 not being as large as S1/2" before S2 even started airing. Looks like they managed to buy themselves an extra 5 months with a mid-season break if you ask me.

Eh, if they didn't delay it they'd have to spend more time working on season 3 and people would be complaining about that, damned if you do, damned if you don't haha

I think it might be so the next season seems less far off

I would rather they not release it to begin with until it's all done. Or better yet, do it weekly or biweekly if you need to stretch it out a bit. Two 4 episode batches 3 months apart is deranged

Yeah my fiancé skipped watching this week and I wished I had just waited until next week to watch it as well tbh. Splitting it up was actually ridiculous man.

What copium you have. It was definitely because of amazon greed but alright.

But why would the joke not work if it released earlier?
