High quality video Invincible wrapped it second season It was a bloody and emotionally devastating few days for Mark and everyone around him.Now that the season is completely over, creators Robert Kirkman spend time with type About the highs and lows of the season, especially the finale, “I Thought You Were Stronger.”
In a spoiler-free chat, he said the growing pains of season two won’t be fully resolved in season three, since the two seasons were produced back-to-back. But while they are “too far” for a complete overhaul, he says they have learned lessons and hope to carry them over to (hopefully) future seasons. One thing that likely won’t change is the release structure: Kirkman noted that some people didn’t like the season being split into two parts, but he felt it was a “necessity” for the season. Release patterns may eventually change, but with the show returning as Amazon’s No. 1 series, there’s no “real, lasting damage.”
As for big spoilers…
While fighting Angstrom Levi, Mark ends up colliding with a Spider-Man agent from another dimension!Kirkman previously said Spider-Man cameo Didn’t happen, which… technically wasn’t that, mostly due to Amazon’s legal team getting involved. According to him, they “painstakingly” inspected the site, often telling staff “the costumes can’t be that color. We have to stay away from this and that.”
they want that scene Marvel joins forces He went on to say that the comics were intact, which meant bringing in a former Spider-Man actor to voice the non-Web-head.Josh Keaton is best known for playing Spider-Man in Spider-Man Wonderful Spider-Man, was suggested by supervising director Dan Duncan. “[Keaton was] Animation to animation,” Kirkman explained. “It seemed like a fun and surprising way to do it. “
However, Kirkman is pretty insistent that Spider-Man is no Spider-Man, Keaton’s secret agent performance is “completely different” from his usual Spider-Man voice. In fact, Invincible The team did it all without any input from Marvel or Sony (which owns the rights to Spider-Man). He freely admitted that Marvel likely knew about the cameo the day the finale aired, saying Amazon’s legal department “made sure Marvel didn’t need to know.”He also insists that the scene in which Mark talks to a cloaked figure on a rooftop at night is really Not Gotham’s Batman. If anyone were to argue the point, he said they could “take what they want from it, but it was never our intention to imply anything even close to the Batman character.”
Speaking about the season as a whole, Kirkman noted that the growing pains of Season 2 won’t be fully resolved in Season 3 because they were produced back-to-back. But while they are “too far away” for a complete overhaul, he said lessons have been learned and they hope to continue them in future seasons, should they be given the go-ahead. (As of this writing, Amazon has yet to greenlight a fourth season.)
The release structure may also change: Unlike the first season, the second season is divided into two parts, with the first half airing last November. Kirkman noted that viewers were divided over it, but he believed it was a “necessity” for the production of the season. It has not yet been decided whether the third season will also be two shows, with the suggestion that things could change at any time. But there was apparently “no real, lasting damage” to the show’s performance — which, he said, became Amazon’s No. 1 series upon its return.
Looking ahead to season three, Kirkman teased that Mark’s half-brother Oliver and GDA director Cecil will bring “great things” to the table. But digging into the season finale, he and co-showrunner Simon Racioppa joked that season three will “[go] We’re going to be expanding the show and pushing the show further in a lot of different ways.we want every one [season three] It feels like this episode is the finale. [This] It’s definitely a huge season with a lot of crazy things you wouldn’t expect. “
“You’ve got some new actors, new stories. Let’s go [to] Some crazy bits,” Laciopa continued. “But we’re going to pick up everything that was left hanging in season two. All the emotional stories you loved in seasons one and two continue. “
