Comic Art and People's Ridgidness
Matrixprime
animation of the original series up to season 3 was superb. Although, I do
think that the work done in the original comic was less than spectacular. The
worlds entertainment is being heavily influenced by Japanese anime. Sure
Optimus may look a lot like his toy and not the show but it could also be
viewed as more detailed depictions of what they should have looked like. If
animators went through the trouble to put as much detail as these pictures
transfans have seen already transformers might have lasted longer in the United
States. To put it plainly G1 animation rocked, G1 comic was a flop, and the
new stuff kicks @$$!!!!!

....wait. If the G1 cartoon rocked, and the G1 comic was a flop, then why
the hell did the cartoon only run until 1987 and the comic went until
1992?
(Of course, I know the economic reason why, but I'm thinking in simple terms
along
the lines of "if I didn't like something, it was a flop.")

In my opinion, its a symptom of the stupid "BIGGER BAD-
DER BUFFER!!!" school of comic book art, which is itself
a symptom of the old "MY superhero is better than YOUR
superhero!!" which started when Superman debuted (he
used to not be able to fly--that's where the phrase "leap a
tall building in a single bound!" came from) and ended with
Superman--at least, old Superman before DC rebooted their
universe one comic series at a time. The guys have
rippling muscles that would enable tham to lift a full city bus
over their heads with one hand and the women are anemic-
thin everywhere but their breastses, which are so comedically
large, if they were real women, she'd fall flat on her face.
This kind of distortion is bad because . . . the artist gets used
to it, and it becomes the only "style" the artist can render in.
All it took was some goober--and legions of pimply fifteen-
year-olds--to find an artist who did this and proclaim his art
genius, and there were legions of imitators trying to fall in
his footsteps, not to mention pimply fifteen-year-olds trying to
emulate their new artistic inspiration . . .
That's one reason I love the art of The MAXX so much, and
Sandman, and most Star Wars comics, and a few others.
They drew realistic people. Occasionally, they drew someone
too big to be real life, but usually there was a reason for it.
Hoefully, the future of comic book art is "realistic enough"
instead of a progression of the current state of affairs.

Im pretty sure you knew I was being sarcastic......but your response doesnt
really indicate it. So Im stopping the inveitable flames your gonna get by
pointing it out.
And for those of you who missed it, I was poking fun at all the "I cant
believe how small thier heads are" threads.
