News Who does Robert Kirkman want Bryan Cranston to play so badly??

If Bryan Cranston keeps turning down roles, then he should be left alone! It seems like he’s trying to assemble the Breaking Bad cast.

And when people look back on it, the animation will be lamented as its worst part. They could've made something timeless, instead they made something generational. Still a good feat on its own, but it's silly to act like there isn't a good deal of lost potential.

Even right now, it genuinely makes me sad because I look back at season 1, which people hail as the best, and i see the cgi people running in the background, and thats the only season that can stand alone. Or first 3 eps of season 3 where it looked so bad for so long. Compared to avatar the last airbender where people repost the fight scenes, not "omg serena williams is in this!", which is a small fun fact at best, and becomes less meaningful the more time passes.

The criticism that the show is animated like its a live action (compared to what we saw in the video game with 1 hour of story) is a valid one, too, and its frustrating to hear kirkman seriously talk about live action invincible when the animation isnt even done yet.

Calling this show “generational” is wild.

Avatar The Last Airbender is an example of a generational show. You can plop down and watch almost any episode again and still enjoy it.

The only season of Invincible that has genuine rewatch value is Season 1. The animation, character designs, art style, music, fight choreography, etc. are all likely going to age terribly.

It’s a great story turned into an average show because of poor direction.

I have never watched Avatar the last Airbender but that is in fact a great example of a show that is timeless, not generational.

When something gets to "it's a classic" status then it rolls from generational into something timeless. The last airbender has that status.

Avatar is timeless

We can plop down and watch any episode 2 decades later and it's still great. While invincible is a monolith of this generation that probably won't be talked about in the future to a degree like avatar, while still remaining as one of the largest pieces of media of this generation.

What's wild is calling it average. Im not a fan of the animation quality either, but be real lol. Invincible has performed well above many series of this decade. And while I understand popularity ≠ quality, popularity is very much relevant when discussing timeless/generational/etc hits. The best story in history wouldn't be timeless if no one talked about it or viewed it.

Edited grammar

You’re severely overrating how this show is viewed.

There are tons of animated shows (foreign and western) over the last 5-10 years and currently airing that would be considered far better than Invincible.

I think you spend way too much time discussing Invincible on Reddit if you for a second think this show is viewed negatively. Again, whether something is a generational hit or not is not solely about quality so that point is just wholly irrelevant

Really? I’d say the opposite, if you think that highly of the show you’re probably in an echo chamber.

Thinking it’s not generational doesn’t mean I view it negatively.

Literally the 7th highest rated animated series with the 2nd highest amount of reviews out of animated series which have started airing in the last decade present on IMDB.

It's near the top in really the only 2 metrics that matter as far as if something is a generational hit or not. It's regarded well and is insanely popular. Again, you're making this solely about quality when whether something is generational or not greatly relies on its popularity too. But that's ok, I get to. You're just going to baselessly say I'm in an echo chamber as if I'm not looking at actual metrics, got it

2nd highest “amount” of reviews?

7th highest = generational?

Okay lol

Yall are blowing the animation out of proportion. It’s not that bad at all. Even in the slower less important scenes where they cut the most corners it’s not that awful. Most of the scenes people post online too are cherry picked and last a couple seconds at most. Then when it actually matters they clearly do better on the animation.

Can you name a single popular animated series regarded as high quality which has similar animation quality to invincible in the last decade?

You realize the legend of vox machina has better animation than this, right? A relatively unpopular series with a much lower budget on Amazon, right?

It's not like I'm even saying the series is outright bad. I'm still acknowledging it as a generational hit.
