Brilliant. You're quite talented at not addressing my complaints but instead making childish assertions about medical conditions or laying out silly strawman arguments to make your case.
I've stated that Quitely cannot draw faces and everything he does looks like crap. You made up some dumb argument for me where apparently I said all his faces are identical (which I never stated), then backed it up by posting two side by side faces that are absolutely atrocious garbage.
Thanks for making my case for me.
I realize that comic book fans can be insular to the point of justifying the absurd, but there's even division within the ranks about Quitely. Sadly, your opinion on the topic is no more valid than ours. Even his biggest fans recognize that his face work ranges from bad to God awful. Trying to dismiss that is silly.
If you take a Quitely drawing of the X-Men or Superman to people familiar with the characters but not hardcore comic fans, you'll get a bunch of head scratching and disbelief. I've shown his New X-Men run to my wife, brothers, and several coworkers and they think I'm trolling them. "This is bad fan art, right?"
Sometimes separation from the subject grants a more objective perspective. I highly doubt that future generations of comic fans will hold Quitely in high regard. It'll be more along the lines of "people liked this crap?"
I'm not usually quiet this blunt but here goes - you deserve to have the piss taken out of you because your opinion is stupid. Willfully stupid. Birdie does not need to argue with you because you are not making a point worth arguing against. You are threadshitting, and it's pathetic. Give up.
The sheer levels of idiocy over the weekend have made me bite my tongue on multiple occasions. As fans of a medium, it's actually offensive to see dumbfucks shitting on some of comics' greatest talents. It's like hearing people argue against free healthcare or something.
Art and taste are subjective, but denying Quitely's objective talent and skill is gross and I'm not sure if I even want to post here any more. It's all knockabout fun usually, but when I'm seriously starting to find these opinions repugnant I'm not sure if it's worth it just to talk to some nerds any more.
