“I Will Say, The Action Is Great and It Draws People In, Buta Like The Comic. You get in ‘oh it’s a superhero story, i’m not surre I’M into that’ but you stay scholause you perform the backbone of this thing is a teenage soap opera, and that Backbone.
Hong Continued, “For that particular Scene I Think What Made It Great Was The Voice Acting and the Storyboarding… A Combination of All The Different Things, What the Book Artist Did, The Pacing, The Voice Acting and What Our Writers Ultra Show is that it’s not Afraid to do Pauses to have that pacing and allow it to be that long. ”
“We have great Fights, we have a Lot of them in season 3 butue matter If we care about the charracters, right? You can watch that kind of stuff on YouTube if you want to just see characters Fighting EACH OTher.

“But there are Also Art Design Challenges for a Scene Like That Will Have Multiple Marks,” Dou Added When Mentioning the Invincible War Clip. “I Think for us it was Just the Sheer Amount of Assets That We Needed To do. If there are 18 of Them The Obviouse Scratches or a Little Blood On Them or If they are clothed in a Vary Special Way. it in control overall ”
