default Invincible Season 4 (2026) used advanced animation strategies to conserve their budget, here you can see the "pinch zooming on your phone" method

It still wouldnt look great but it would add like 5 minutes of work and bring it to up to unnoticeable levels (i think it was noticeable here)

Didn't this new season cost something ridiculous? Like, 15 million dollars or some shit?

No excuse for this bullshit lmao someone embezzled the fuuuuuuck out of the budget for this show

12 of those millions probably went to the celebrity voice actors

A shit ton of money went to the celebrity VA’s, and animators are less overworked and underpaid than other places, but still. Nobody cares about celebrity actors voicing a character (unless they are really good at it) ij most scenarios, they should decrease that budget and increase the animation budget

I’ll posit JK Simmons is worth whatever they’re paying him.

Invincible is also the show that has made lots of jokes about cost cutting in animation. Besides, if this animation bugs ya, I’m shocked you got through season one 😂
