I am very happy to be here for an AMA for Episode 203 ‘This Missive, This Machination!’ directed by me: Tanner Johnson! Looking forward to all your questions about how this episode was made. Hopefully, I can answer as many of them as possible without getting myself fired in the process.

Giddy up!

    Amazing episode, loved the troll part of it too! 😀 My question is how is the realistic effect of the blood splashing on surfaces and scattering in space made?

    Were there any second thoughts about directly doing the narration bit during the production? It was pretty fun, but also kind of out of the blue for show-only audiences. Were you set on having it from the get-go or was there some discussion over it?

    Have you had an artistic goal with the way you juxtaposed emotions in this episode? There’s a lot of strongly positive (and carnal) emotions appearing interchangeably with scenes of extreme sadness and grief. I haven’t read the comics, so I don’t know how much control you had over the events and how to order them around.

    How does the team approach altering themes or characters in service of the adaptation you want to make? Is there an agreed upon set of changes or a vibe you’re all shooting for? Or does each director take a whack at it.

    Hey Tanner, as someone whose read the comics, I’m loving the season so far. My quick question is:

    While I’ve noticed some small changes and improvements to certain character designs from Season 1, do you guys design the characters in this season off of Ottley’s artwork style, Walker’s style, a blend of both of theirs, or are these designs the studio’s own depictions of how you want the characters to look? However you do it, keep it up! Can’t wait to see how you guys implement some of my favorites that are still to come.

    I don’t have any questions but I just wanted to say that this was my favourite Invincible episode yet
