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.

Yeah, the studio behind this is a fairly new studio. If in not mistaken, Invincible is literally their first 2d project. Idk why Amazon didn't hire more veteran studio for this, they have the money for it. Or at least hire some veteran action animators like those castlevania dudes... this show is really lacking in creative freedom and ambitions when it comes to animation....

Apparently it's Kirkman's studio which I also learned today.

Just makes me dislike the guy for pocketing the Amazon cash and not hiring more or better personnel - if other studios can do much faster work on a better level, he's either got it understaffed (scummy of him to pocket all the cash and avoid spending on people) or full with barely competent animators (on him again, hire better people).

No scenario where he looks good with this.

I really hope next few seasons actually have bigger upgrade in animation man..... but at this point idek... how are they gonna handle bigger scale action with this quality....like the war scene really gonna be bunch of PNGs dragged across the screen lmaoo....
