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.

Studio Mir is great. They did My Adventures with Superman so you can get a taste of what they could have done with Invincible in an alternate reality:

I honestly think the peaks of Invincible's animation are as good as Studio Mir. The issue with Invincible is consistency. They have some scenes that look amazing (like the Anissa fight, and Mark's fight with his dad in season 1). But some of the fights just have too many shortcuts and look cheap.

I don't think there's a single fight in Invincible that looks as good as the average The Legend of Korra fight though. Even the Anissa fight animation was just okay. The one fight in Invincible that I can say had "good" animation was Eve vs her mutated siblings in the Atom Eve episode.

The show reminds me of Family Guy. The way the characters move is almost like a Flash animation show.
