Amen. We're both designers and seeing such a lack of attention and care for key details, especially from pros, is beyond frustrating. To me, details is how you show the love. It's how you show you really really give a damn. I don't want to hear about tooling budget excuses and so forth, because if you really truly care about something, you find ways to make it work with what you have. Firelord is a guy who flies through space at faster than light speeds...how then does he have side-swept hair??? (If there's a positive there, I can now at least forgive them for Mar-Vell's blow dried hair look). How does a Herald of Galactus, who's fought and terrorized many of Marvel's heavyweights end up on such a scrawny body??? Maybe it's one of those interesting motivating factors in life, but for me personally, every character save two, that I've been waiting on for nearly 40 years has been futzed by decisions that show me that they don't care enough. When was Malekith over roided out? Where is the sense and logic in making Guardian, Canada's Captain America....look like a constipated old man??? Why is virtually every super lady built like a skinny teenaged girl??? Why, in this day and age of Action Figure photography, give any character who isn't the Hulk a screaming face as their only portrait?? For me, any designer who ignores or misses the obvious (particularly when it's been laid down in decades worth of comics) is a designer who doesn't care enough. You don't care enough that there are some fans who've waited nearly a lifetime for these things, or that for many fans across the globe, these things are quickly approaching 50 dollars a pop! And if they don't care enough for these details, then why should I care? And more importantly: why should I spend my money on such things?
