Invincible creator says the superhero show’s level of violence was made possible by The Boys doing it first: "We get to hide behind the trailblazing of The Boys as they keep pushing the envelope"

It looks like Invincible fans have Prime Video’s The Boys to thank for the animated show’s level of violence and gore, as creator Robert Kirkman says the superhero spoof allowed him to go even further with Invincible.

"We get to hide behind the trailblazing of The Boys as they keep pushing the envelope every season. And so, I get to watch that show and go, 'We can do anything,'" said Invincible comic book creator Kirkman to Deadline, when asked if he worries about how much violence he is allowed to put into a streaming series. "I feel fairly confident that we’re OK on Prime."
