It has to do with a trend both shows have exhibited involving having unusually high quality in their first season, securing an even more lucrative deal with a streaming service, then switching to Microsoft PowerPoint for animations despite having made magnitudes greater profit.
The drop-off isn’t even comparable though. I don’t know if I just watched a different show to everyone else, but season 1 of Invincible wasn’t as flawless as people remember it, and the later seasons aren’t as bad as people claim they are. On the other side, season 2 of OPM was worse than any Invincible season, while season 3 is one of the worst seasons of any show ever.
The biggest difference is that Invincible was still given resources by the studios, just with much less time so they could have a yearly release schedule. The producers adapting it cared about the material and have enough sway to get a decent, sustainably produced show. OPM did not have producers with significant sway, and was given minimal resources and time for the anime. Imagine having twice the wait between seasons as S1 and S2 of Invincible, while the animators only get half a year to a few months of production time. They just aren’t in the same league.
You’re probably right. OPM season three is by far the worst offender in this trend. I think Invincible might be getting the level of heat it is by merit of being the latest.
Also the season 4 pinch zooming gif had a little more audience reach than the garou slide did
