Is the $2M per episode celebrity voice cast in Invincible a necessary evil?>completely unremarkable story and premise>completely unremarkable animation >still one of the only animated /co/ shows to break into the non-/co/ mainstream since Rick and MortyI'm fully convinced that no one would give a fuck about it if not for the "credibility" it gets by having so many big names attachedThe west simply doesn't have a culture of giving a fuck about animated shows and pushing them to the forefront of the zeitgeist, outliers like the Simpsons or SpongeBob are extremely rare compared to ani
>>153738039What a waste of money, at least everybody except Nolan and Sandra Oh. But imma give my girl Gillian a pass because she’s cute and my wife. Other than that this could’ve easily been new voice actors
>>153738039>big namesYou’re being very generous.

>>153738039I don't like this approach to voice casting, especially the ones who were fucking terrible in this like Aaron Paul, but I still think it's a misconception that budget for the voice cast is taken straight out of the animation budget. The larger issue is the one year between each season, no amount of money puts more hours in a day and there's only so much that can be reasonably put through an animation pipeline in a given amount of time. If Amazon didn't give them the money for the celebrities I don't think they give them that money for anything else, because like OP is saying they just want the big names to draw in the normies.
