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!

Man… I hope so. But it’s not up to me. Maybe let those fine folks as Amazon Prime Video know how much you like the show?

It's pretty obvious to me that you will. You can tell these things from IMDB votes and at 13k Invincible is stronger than average for an animated show. Obviously it's not a Rick and Morty reception yet, but Bojack ran for 6 years and only had 117k imdb votes. Infinty train has 4k. Obviously there are differences in budget. It's a critical hit and high scores for those that watched, even if it's not profitable they'll put it out for at least 3 seasons to see if they think it will become profitable.

But you look at the subreddit activity and that grim-dark-violent subversions are in in in, then it's pretty clear you'll get the whole run. Just don't D&D it.....though Kirkman D&D'd it a little bit

Bojack got quite a lot of front page advertising from Netflix. Invincible hasn't had any from Prime that I've seen.

Bojack is such a great show. I think invincible might be the first animated serie to dethrone it in my mind.

It was the top banner on my Prime before I started watching it.
