      Very common if you think about, Todd’s pushed nose proportions and Jim’s genetically inspired eyes and Eric’s added fin etc etc the list goes, at least some of new guys are in love with the manga look, but everything gets old including yourself.

    Love it! Rob definitely has his limitations as an artist, and for that I think he's always had a massive chip on his shoulder. He was a supernova of his time. He's Limp Bizkit times 10. Which isn't a bad thing by any stretch. Comics are supposed to be fun and Rob is the epitome of dumb fun

  • @realest_shirts
    @realest_shirts Před 9 měsíci +1

    I remember when those first Liefeld New Mutants books came out, being an X-Men fan and following all the X-books at the time. I didn't catch #87 when it was on the rack, because New Mutants weren't really my fav, despite having about 20 issues or so kickin' around. Once Rob took over, it was definitely a lot more interesting, and the hype was palpable. Between him, Todd, and Jim Lee, there was definitely a new edge and look that made 15-year-olds like me become even more obsessive with the books. I remember when Deadpool appeared, and I thought he was a neat character, but I didn't think he'd be anywhere near as big as he is today. Anyway, it was a good time to be reading comics. In recent years, I lost my footing with the titles that I used to care about, and I rarely go to the comics store. This channel is great and it's nice to hear Rob shooting on everything. Even though his anatomy and faces are grating, he's still a legend and he created a lot of really cool characters.

    Many criticize him but watching this video it was evident the market dominance that Rob Liefield has, much of what he says since his arrival to the new mutants happens now in the x-men comics, all boring, pretty art but generic and soulless, stories with lukewarm arguments leaving the epic aside. Marvel's editorial approach has fallen far short of expectations.
