I think most of the budget went into the voice cast with animation being an afterthought. This is why Hollywood can't churn out productions anywhere nearly as fast as Japan's anime industry.

I can't believe I not only like this show, but actually love it. When I first started watching I couldn't stand how generic and cheesy it was, but then, it just grows on you to the point you go all in on.
Steven Yeun is literally the perfect voice for Invincible.
Omni-man is an awesome fighter to use in Mortal Kombat one as well.

I really wish they had more episodes per season. It's not bad but the show would have more depth with better character building.

My social media feeds have so much Viltrumite content its insane. I haven't watched this show yet, but it feels like the universe is trying to get me to watch and/read the comic.

I just started the new season.
Confused about what that stuff was with Invincible and Omni Man in the beginning.
A different dimension I guess?

Invincible Season 2 returns March 14! Mark goes back to college, reads his dad's books, and nothing bad happens to him or his family. This is a very official synopsis.

episode 5 was pretty good, but if Mark is so invincible, why does he get the shit beat out of him almost every episode? lol
i thought the line that Robot (Zachary Quinto) said about the ship not being from Star Trek was pretty funny.

I thought that's part of the point, that he's not Invincible.
Reminds me of New Mutants where Cannonball is "nigh invulnerable" while he's blasting but that gives just enough leeway for stronger people to beat the crap out of him.

The show just seems to have a fetish for brutally beating Mark up. Almost torture porn if we're being honest. The animators actually detail the graphic violence while leaving major things like character design and backgrounds subpar. It's a choice, I guess.
That being said, the fight between the Serpent Society(?) and the b-team of heroes was a complete destruction worth catching. Almost made up for all the pointless girlfriend/mother/baby brother melodrama.

Never read the books past the first dozen maybe so I don’t remember that being in the books.

Well that was a disappointing season finale, making the mid-season delay even more questionable. Doubt we get more Invincible before early 2026 at this rate. They seem really committed to 8 episodes of 45 minutes, but pacing and storytelling would be far improved with 10-12 episodes of 30 minutes.
I think when they write the postmortem on this series its biggest problem was throwing the entire budget at the Hollywood voice actors and soundtrack.

The episode itself was fine but felt more like a random mid-season stopping point. Multiverse stuff was okay but the way they save Mark felt like a deus ex machina.
This show loves giving people black eyes.

I’m surprised no one brought up the comicon bit.
Mark and his girlfriend went to one and the comic book creator of the dog book explained how they can only do a season every few years and how they go cheap on animation.

^Yeah, that was kind of funny, though maybe too obvious of a 'wink at the audience' scene. Did Kirkman do the voice of the comic book creator?

If you're going to take a huge break like that, at least make the second half of the season worthwhile.
Of course it's still good, but I was literally waiting for another episode a week later - didn't even realized I watched the season finale.

The voice acting is already done so it just the animation and production (that’s already started) that needs to be done. I would guess late winter/next spring.

But it's been quite successful for Amazon. They renewed this for another two seasons, guaranteeing at least six seasons.

Same here until I read your post. This season was good but the splitting and the time between seasons, yikes.
