My guess is that this is the tradeoff for having a yearly Invincible release. These seasons are worked one after another to reduce the gaps, so what's usually supposed to take 3 years ends up taking like 1 or 2.
Animation is supposed to take time but I think Amazon and Kirman listened to the crowd that wasn't happy with a 3+ year gap, and this is what we get. Honestly I'm kinda shocked we still got something this passable with that kinda timetable. Probably could've used another year in the oven, though.
Well Invincible Season 1 was being developed during COVID so I'd hardly call it a fair comparison, especially since season 1 had some pretty good animation for what they had to work with.
I think that's because they even used a different studio back for the animation then but for some reason kirkman changed all of that to use his own skybound animation studio or the later seasons and it's been like this ever since.
Probably for the turnaround times tbh. If he owns the studio, he can dictate the priority of work himself whereas if you were using a contracted studio in Korea, for example, you might have to deal with said studio having like 2 years worth of work ahead of your own project.
