Trivia

  • The series was originally announced in 2018, several months following the comic's end run, and took roughly 3-4 years to develop, also due to causes of COVID-19.
  • During development prior to 2021, the show's design had a similar take to the Corey Walker era from 2003-2004,2018.
  • A running gimmick with the franchise is the title card. Once per episode, usually the first time the word "Invincible" is spoken by a character, it would instead cut to the show's title card.
    • In each successive episode, an alteration would be made to the card, resulting in a thematic color change.
      • Season One began with yellow lettering on a blue background, gradually becoming splattered with blood until the letters became red and the background became black.
      • During Season Two, the red-on-black background would remain, gradually cracking and crumbling away to reveal a new black-on-blue background.
      • Season Three would start with the black-on-blue background, before an Angstrom Levy-esque glitch effect would alter the entire color scheme completely each episode, changing from black-on-blue, to blue-on-yellow, to blue-on-grey, to white-on-red, to white-on-grey, to yellow-on-blue, to blue-on-white, to yellow-on-black, and finally to grey-on-white.
        • The color schemes in question seemed to be designed to represent the various alternate versions of Invincible that appear during the Invincible War arc. Alternatively, they could be designed to represent various key characters, such as Conquest in "I Thought You'd Never Shut Up" and possibly Thragg in "You Want A Real Costume, Right?"
    • Notably, the season 3 episode "All I Can Say Is I'm Sorry" would display the title card a total of six times in short succession.
    • The Atom Eve special and the Season 2 episode "This Missive, This Machination!" both feature unique variations of the title card, themed after Atom Eve and Allen the Alien respectively.
  • The episodes are often named after certain quotes and dialogues from the comic run.
  • The second season was released 2023, which is widely known as the 20th anniversary of the Invincible comic run.
  • In each and every one of Invincible’s Season Teasers, the Burger Mart setting is primarily used, with Mark and another particular character sitting in a table, enjoying the food and having a conversation.
  • The first season to onward was animated and key framed by Wind Sun Sky Entertainment and assisted by Skybound Entertainment, Amazon MGM studio, this is shown with certain characters like Invincible, Atom Eve, Omni-Man and Amber Bennet being drawn and animated somewhat differently.
  • The character models are 2D hand drawn, while background environments like, houses, buildings, vehicles, and cities 3D animated similar to shows like Sym Bionic Titan, Generator Rex, Wolverine and the X-Men, Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice, and Legend of Vox Machina.
  • This series has been often compared to the highly acclaimed anime series Dragon Ball Z, due to their similar high and seriously climatic action packed fight scenes, alongside the similarities between the viltrumites and saiyans.
  • Invincible has also often been compared to the Boys, another super hero series, but is far darker than even Invincible, that delves into political take on having super powers, and how it really affects individuals.
  • The series has received acclaim from critics, with praise for its animation, action sequences, story, voice performances (particularly Yeun and Simmons), and emotional weight, even admitting its a step up than the typical genres like that of Marvel and DC.
  • However some often criticized its animation sequences, specifically flight and fight sequences[4]. Even a notable fact that most of the characters look to be png models, and are being dragged throughout the scene.[5][1]
  • According to Robert Kirkman, he hinted that he would potentially run for 7-11 seasons, promising the darker theme that Mark evolve in the future.[6] But there are no confirmation that it would have 11 seasons. It was instead that it would take 8-10 seasons to complete Invincible's story.[7]
