Fan reactions to the animated version of Thragg have been mixed, with criticisms focusing on several areas. Many viewers who are familiar with the Invincible comic books have pointed out that the animation doesn’t make Thragg look as intimidating as he did in Ryan Ottley’s artwork.

Many people still remember how surprisingly dark some classic 80s animated movies like All Dogs Go to Heaven and The Brave Little Toaster were. However, the decade actually produced a lot more animated films that have been largely forgotten. Some were made with very little money, while others were poorly handled by the companies releasing them. Because of this, many truly excellent stories haven’t found the audience they deserve.
