Thread is obviously bait but for posterity
>Villainous is still being worked on. Most of the crew did leave to work for Vivziepop but they have hired other people. Multiple tweets from the crew confirm things are moving forward
>AI Animation is working on another cartoon called Axo but that seems to be an independent production that CN doesn’t pay. This show has also been named on the website ever since it went live, so they have always planned it to be worked on alongside Villainous
The long wait might imply that some things are being reworked, some changes to the story, characters and production, but it’s still going. Most people leaving did affect this project but it’s not cancelled.
