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!

Great answer. I've enjoyed the weekly release too. I just always wonder if one or the other would change the pacing of a show. Im sure it does in certain shows.

If it was a binge release people would talk about it for a week and never mention it again till the next season

Yea ive certainly noticed that with The Boys and the new Disney+ shows. I just wanted to ask really if it affected the way they paced the episodes. Sometimes i hear stuff about joe binge culture has made the pacing of shows different like maybe there a cliff hanger at the end of each episode to keep you from turning it off or its actually like a LONG ass movie because its supposed to be watched all at once damn near. Certain things like that. Obviously these things can still be in weekly releases but i was just wondering if it affected anything

I’ve noticed that there are some binge shows that do end on cliffhangers on like 80% of their episodes to lead into the next one to keep you interested. There’s also other normal shows that do this but it seems more of an artistic choice like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
