Does Invincible's Success Justify Action-Oriented DC Shows Without Toylines?

Well, we are still getting Young Justice aren't we?

They are going to make a toy-line no-matter what. Invincible is still getting a toy-line, it's just not the driving force of the show like it is for some other shows.

It would be nice if it was like that for other shows, but of course, the younger the audience demographic is the more toy-focused the show will be.

No, expect toys and figurines to follow people will buy now
and then the studio will want more programming like Invincible so they can sell other merchandise
it didnt break the model it will assimilate into it

This is correct. Further, for now, Image is not beholden to an executive management trying to guess what institutional investors want. Worse, DC is owned by a company owned by a company trying to show ROA, so their corporate executives are getting directives from masters with (at best) an imprecise understanding of comics.

It doesn't matter what you did for a living, once your company goes public, you are in the stock price business, and everything else is a side gig. If Image even considers going public, or selling itself to somebody like Netflix, revenue by any means will become far more important than content.

Hasn't this been the DC Animated Features' bread and butter for a while now?

I'd have argued Young Justice proved that and was still canceled for lack of toy sales. Companies are weird.
