This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Liefeld is that happy place where feminists and anti-feminists can come to a happy concord. For whatever reason, man, it's awful.

(Now I'm imagining a Liefeld morph for CGI to allow one to make spaghetti spine women...)
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

Quote from: Will;813761I'm not a huge comics guy, but from what I understand his appeal for comic book companies is being reliable. And, well. That counts for a lot.

He is well known in the biz as an absolute workhorse.

He is also well known in the biz as having apparently flunked anatomy class, or was raised in the wild by amoebas... Possibly both. One publisher said apparently people were buying the comic as a sort of Wheres Waldo thing. Spot all the anatomical anomalies.

Others buy the comic to follow the story. The art is secondary.

As I understand Marvel's X character "Strong Guy", a superhumanly strong mutant in constant pain from his grossly distorted anatomy, was a poke at Lefeild.

That would make sense.

Quote from: Will;813801On a related but nicer note, (although a touch off-topic) if you ever wonder why Keanu Reeves gets so much work despite being kind of... a block of wood, from what I've read he's INCREDIBLY easy to work with and extremely nice to everyone.

Which makes me feel good about his success. ;)

Also, people like to watch him on screen, because he's goofy and relatable, and that is supported by metrics - the dollars he has a track record of bringing in.

Aren't artists supposed to understand anatomy?

I had no idea. But that's fucking awesome!

Now, did Leifeld ever draw Strong Guy?  How could he even do it? He'd have no where to add muscles to!

I'm not sure honestly. I didn't follow the x books even when I read comics regularly.

Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace

Quote from: Will;813757Or, comic book readers are so used to absolutely fucking terrible artwork that folks' perceptions are trained to accept crap as normal.

Or they simply realize that like most other cartoon art, it's not meant to be realistic.

Or maybe opinions on art can be subjective.

Liefeld's art is bad. That is not a subjective statement.
