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?

The series was always planned as (TV) hour-long episodes. As we worked up the ideas and arc for the first season, we were always thinking about the episodes fitting into the 42-45 minute range – so it wasn’t hard. Plus, there’s so much material in the comics that it was easy to find little moments we could expand and dive deeper into.
