Well.. it's what I'm starting to call the "whiney fanboy (and fangirl)"
syndrome. He (obviously) doesn't listen to whiners. I know I wouldn't
give a rat's rump to someone complaining about this and that the whole
time if it's only a trivial issue. Or if it's like the hundredth time
something had been pointed out to them (i.e. like Dan mentioning on the
Art Contest page that it's NORMAL for the Mirage turtles to have all
red masks)
If it were like say, Microsoft, and they wanted to actually create
functional design that works for as many people as possible, yay!
Usability testing is good there.
But when you look at a comic book, that's more or less a work of art.
What the creators do is what THEY want to do. It's their story, their
ideas, and their art put to paper. They aren not going for best design
and user-freindliness. Sure, they know when something is a bad idea
(like Venus, or perhaps the misspelling of a Turtles name), and they do
their best to correct that.
But when people whine about piddley things, like tails or no, Lawson's
style, is there going to be a Krang/Bebop/Rocksteady, or they gonna
have Shredder, how old are they, etc.. etc... Damn, it does get sooo
old! Peter is right in that respect. You don't like it, then don't
buy it anymore. In this case, majority rules. The majority does like
it... not the handful of whiny fanboys.
