How does the Invincible animated series change Robert Kirkman's comic?Fiction

In-universe lore. Claims are judged against the fiction's own canon, not the real world.

Robert Kirkman's Image Comics run ran 144 issues from 2003 to 2018. The Prime Video animated series that began in 2021 keeps the same story and reshapes it, and Kirkman and co-showrunner Simon Racioppa have said a fair amount about which reshaping was deliberate.
