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.

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.

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.

It's true, but I'm not sure what the labor conditions in South Korea for those kinds of things, though. It's possible they have to put in hours we would deem unreasonable here.

I mean, South Korea is a functioning European-style democracy (complete with the US footing a lot of their defense expenses), I'm fairly sure they have reasonable labor laws.

Eh. I live in Korea and Korean working conditions are horrible. Yes, they have labor law but they get ignored all the time. It's getting better though.

I only stay here because I happened to get a rare job that treats me well and gives me 3 day weekends every week.

It's not like I'm implying they aren't developed or something. I know Korean LCS players play FAR more hours during the season than their NA counterparts for instance.

Like just compare the US working expectations to other European countries and see how we are worked to the bone relative to them. Then compare us to Japan and see we're living in luxury compared to their work expectations.

So again, I don't know what the work/life balance is like in South Korea so they may work far more hours than someone working in California would in the same time frame.

Korea and Japan have similar working cultures. The US is super laid back compared to Korea.
