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.

People were criticizing Korra season 2 for the animation quality dip and it’s still way better than Invincible. Korra made meta jokes about its shitty season 2 plot later but never did something like mention their animation quality, even though they could’ve

Studio Pierrot already gets enough shit from anime fans for it's adaptations (despite doing some godlike shit from time to time), no way were they gonna screw up Korra, even if they didn't bring it to the same level as Mir

Dude they’ve done some amazing shots in the past. You can’t guarantee decent quality with a long running anime series. That’s why that model is obsolete these days…

I’m surprised they picked up the work instead of another Korean studio, but overwork isn’t uncommon in the anime industry

Lol I was just thinking about this earlier today, coincidentally. Season 2 of Korra still crushes most shows as far as animation. It just didn’t live up to the incredibly high standard set in season 1. Even so, when I rewatched it a few years ago I totally forgot about the animation change until the Wan episodes
