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.

Korra had its share of production issues and delays. But tbf that was mostly because of nickelodeon fiending for episodes

I'd rather have those issues with that quality of results than what we're getting now. And since several people mentioned concerns of overworking animators in Korea/Japan - I'm leaving that aside since it's not up to me to resolve their work culture problems.

I'm just saying hiring more people leads to faster production, and if they can push out 52 episodes in 2.5 years (at half the runtime equating to 26 Invincible episodes). Even with the overworking concerns, I'd be down for extending their productions 3-4 months per season and we'd still be getting them twice as fast with higher quality.

In comparison we're gotten 16 over more than 3 years with Kirkman's underperforming company, which brings neither speed nor quality.

Different studio different artstyle. Throw as much money at it as you want it wont look the same as korra unless you get the same team. And you can’t leave it aside cause it’s part of the subject, korra was animated by Asian studios.

Animation takes years. It’s just a fact. Overworking people and burning money isn’t an effective solution. Amazon needs to turn a profit too or else we won’t get any invincible episodes at all.

No, not really. It takes less time the more people you have as you can assign chunks to different people, each cut in a scene can be assigned to someone else.

The art style is not hard to nail down either, it's not down to studios, it's down to capable people being paid to do decent work.

But why am I arguing with you, some people just won't stop defending this inept shit. 3 years for this.

Dawg you’re the one who said you rather have the studio have productions issues.

And who’s arguing it’s a discussion. The thing Reddit’s for.
