Well, this is certainly not something I expected to see today. Not sure how I feel about it. Amazon has a great history of ruining things they touch.

side-eyes Invincible

...almost everything. Kinda bummed we didn't get a Spawn cameo but, I get it.

Fallout and The Boys are also very good. Also continued The Expanse well.

They almost ruined that series with the budgeting/ animation. They saved it with the finale. I'm not going to hop the animation hate train, though. It definitely came down to budget/ time constraints.

I'll take rough animation over that cgi trying to look like animation crap that never looks good.

[-] Vanilla_PuddinFudge@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think they do a good job of choosing when to turn the heat up on that budget and when to dial it back.

I don't think they had that as well dialed in during Season 2, but I couldn't complain much about the Conquest fight. It could be miles and miles better, sure.

What do you mean? Invincible handled the animation perfectly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhndpv7sEqE

Curious what you consider they’ve ruined? I’ve liked a lot of the stuff they’ve put out compared to other services.

And MGM is no slouch.

The Expanse

While I wouldn't say they've "ruined it" it felt like a significant drop in quality the moment Amazon took over.

[-] killea@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Except Alcon was still making it and the budget didn't change. Season 6 got cut down to 6 episodes due to Amazon, though.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

That and the whole there being three other books worth of material that the series just noped the fuck out of because amazon didn't want to keep making the series. They did the same thing with The Wheel of Time.

Uh one of the main actors got in shit for sexual abuse, that ended any chance of having future episodes.

Amazon wouldn’t have left that cash cow behind, but there wasn’t going forward with that actor, or even rewriting them.

You can see how they went back and changed the end of the season already filmed scenes to rewrite the cancelation story in.

There was also a massive time shift coming up, it just wouldn’t work.

[-] TachyonTele@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There's a 30 year gap in between the last episode and when the story starts again. That's a perfect place to end the show, and then pick it back up down the road.

[-] killea@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Actor contracts etc the longer a show goes on($$), and the time lapse between book 6 and 7. Still would be more than amazing to see on screen. And if one has seen the show and not read the books I cannot recommend them highly enough.

[-] Labtec6@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Didn't they do History of the World Part 2? That was a trainwreck.

[-] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

that was hulu.

[-] danc4498@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Is this the general consensus of this show? I thought it was great.
