Great joke but I feel it’d work better in a show with generally good animation. Cause like we get all this without the particularly special fight scenes.

[u/Nast33 → u/ModeratorH8er]

Lampshading like that doesn't work when it takes 2.5 years inbetween seasons and the quality is still so suspect most of the time.

Legend of Korra had much better animation, many fight/action scenes and well animated characters/backgrounds/etc - and 4 seasons 13 episodes apiece got done in almost the same time it toook for Invincible to go from S1 to S2.

Look it up. First season started airing april 2012, 4th season ended airing december 2014. And that was Nickelodeon, not the massive corpo that's Amazon.

I'd tell whoever wrote that to piss off, don't blame this on 'animation is soooo hard' when it was done by choice to not have enough money for production to be done faster. Because it can get done faster and better.

[u/ModeratorH8er → u/Nast33]

Funnily enough just yesterday I was thinking about how I wish the Korra guys did the invincible animation. It sucks but paying a south-Korean studio would undoubtedly get better results than the Californian animation we get.

[u/Nast33 → u/ModeratorH8er]

They know their shit and have done some very high quality work at better pace. I'd say let the better skilled workers/studios do what they're good at.

If Kirkman wants his own US based studio to do it that badly, then hire more/better people to either improve quality or get it done faster - waiting so long for such middling animation is the worst of both worlds. I'd say it was worth it if it were Arcane-level visuals, but it's not. That meta bit was pathetic.

[u/SoochSooch → u/Nast33]

Didn't realize Kirkman owned Skybound until this post. That explains a lot. Of course he'd rather his company get all the money vs paying a better company to do better work.

[u/Nast33 → u/SoochSooch]

Nothing against that, but don't offer me a mouldy burger pretending it's a michelin star meal after 2.5 years.

If he's pocketing the cash, he should hire more people so they can bring up their standards, instead of employing a smaller number of animators who are are both overworked and under-delivering.

Just makes me dislike him.

[u/Conscious_Start1213 → u/Nast33]

With the time they had between season 1 and season 2 I don't think they're overworked. I think they just lack the animation skill for it even to be possible for great fight scenes. Anime studios pump out episodes in 1 weeks time and just their standard non-high budget fight scenes are way better. If mappa had the time they had to animate invincible it'd be the greatest looking animation of all time

[u/BlamingBuddha → u/Conscious_Start1213]

Damn, I would love for MAPPA to animate Invincible.

[u/Anjunabeast → u/Nast33]

That’s how you end up with the train wreck the overworked anime studios in Japan and South Korea are currently facing

Just let the invincible team cook. Be patient for quality episodes.

[u/Nast33 → u/Anjunabeast]

That's not an excuse, they're producing shit animation even after nearly 3 years for 8 measly episodes. If the Koreans and Japanese are overworking their people, just throw them more money so they can hire more people to spread out the work. I care for quality, not inane arguments.

This excuse is absolute dogshit when Kirkman is pocketing Amazon money and he may as well be keeping his own studio understaffed, I don't see how else they can take so long for 320-335 minutes of animation.

[u/Anjunabeast → u/Nast33]

Damn entitled much?

Read the comics if you don’t wanna wait for episodes

[u/Big_Daymo → u/Anjunabeast]

We're paying for the product (Amazon Prime), it's not entitlement to expect a good quality show after nearly 3 years of waiting.
