I’m Simon Racioppa, showrunner for the Invincible series on Prime Video. AMA! AMA

Hey Reddit, happy Invincible Friday. Heard you wanted to chat about the show, so I’m here to answer as many questions as I can without spoiling where all of this is going. I wrote Episode 7, so this is a particularly special week for me, and have enjoyed reading all of your reactions so far.

And here’s the Invincible trailer: https://youtu.be/-bfAVpuko5o

Let’s do this!

EDIT: Thanks everyone! Your support makes all the hard work over the last few years worthwhile – for me, and everyone else who worked on Season one of Invincible during a very strange and difficult last year. Hope to be back here sometime soon!

Hey, thanks for doing this. I'd like to know, how easy or hard it is to make a 50 minute episode especially when some scenes in the comics happen pretty fast?

Actually, a lot of times... We'll just reuse art we've already done over and over. It's good for dramatic pauses and when stuff doesn't really change much from panel to panel. Most people don't even notice.

Yea. Sometimes the animation is rendered quite well, other times it's literally just still frames.

They spend their animation budget on the action scenes which I appreciate.
