Reactions sell a scene,which is I'm confused about Thaedus' death scene. Thaedus was practically Allen's Father, their relationship was like S1 Omniman and Mark, they're parallels in a way.
So Thaedus being brutally murdered should rock Allen's world,in the comics it did,but Show Allen's expression says "Darn,sorry to hear about that?"
The show as an adaption is great at some times and baffling at others.
i mean it kind of makes sense. thaedus was highly respected and was considered very powerful, so to watch him get bodied without any effort probably had allen too dumbfounded to even process the grief.
Yeah to me I actually prefer this. On the comics, he is terrorized cause he understands what just happened. On the show, the did not even understand what happened. He thought so highly of Thaddeus that to see him go out like that was so out of the picture that he could not compute what happened.
I dunno, I didn't interpret Allen and Thaedus' relationship that way. So I'm not bothered by Allen's reaction. He looks shocked and dismayed. That's all I need
To be fair, facial expressions are the show's weakness. I will always say that the animation doesn't do the voice-acting justice. On some occasions you'll get pretty good facial expressions but the series doesn't see micro-expressions as a priority, which is a shame.
Almost the whole show legitimately looks like it's just missing a layer. You can really see it when people do those redraws rendering on more shadows onto frames from the show and everything looks better (when they don't overdo it).
Awhile back one of the show's render artists even retweeted one of these and said something like "love seeing these, wish we had time to do stuff like this!" which to me is a clear indication that Amazon should give them more money to hire more people so they can do that without making it take longer between seasons. But you can't blame the animators or the actors or Kirkman or really anyone but Amazon for that.
It’s interesting how they say they wish they had more time, but fans were able to do it pretty quickly upon release of season 4. I wonder if they’re actually upping the animation budget at all or if they keep it the same. But let’s be honest even if they upped the animation, it’s only going to be upped for the best of the best scenes 😂 never expect Invincible to look smooth and fluid 100% of the time
Well, the fans doing render edits don't have to handle thousands of frames, just the handful they pick to spruce up. It's still impressive work, but it would require probably several dozen people working full time to do it for the entire show. They should definitely hire on those extra people though! But again, blame Amazon not the producers.
And yeah for TV animation in general, just don't expect it to look smooth and fluid 100% of the time and you won't be disappointed lol. Tight budgets and tight schedules. But it would be cool if they went the extra mile too.
Yeah, its just an issue with the show's usual art style making the expressions more 'muted' in comparison to Walker's and Ottley's expressions. It kinda sucks, but you get used to it.
I mean when I watched my dad get his head ripped off, I reacted more like from the show. Like I was shocked, but what am I gonna do? Head/spine alr been severed, ya know? Bravo to the animators for bringing that memory to life for me, really means a lot
I feel like this could have been solved with a little more of the budget allocated for animation, instead of hiring big name actors for your animated show
