	The only thing that Rob Liefeld "owns" is artistic failure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah sorry, Rob is cool and created Deadpool which means he's okay in my book. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He "created" Deadpool in no way that really counts. He ripped off Spider-Man and Snake-Eyes (for the look), and Deathstroke the Terminator (for everything else), and then guys with actual talent fleshed out the lack of character Liefeld gave him and turned him into someone the fans embraced.

Whatevs, the man is hated up and down the internet but is still chill enough to not be a bitch about it or whine.

A great Liefeld moment is when someone at the somethingawful forums went to ComicCon where Liefeld was signing and asked him to draw him a pouch. Liefeld did it, he knows he's hated by like 90% of Internet comic fans but he's still gracious to fans and he didn't lose his temper when someone insulted him to his face at a Con.

Dude is okay in my book

	He also complained when one of his characters was written as gay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe he didn't like the direction for reasons other than homophobia? I don't know. I just think it's cool that a guy essentially embodies an entire decade of comics, for better or worse, that's pretty cool. To be fair, I also thought Onslaught was really cool when I was a kid so eh (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Except that he embodies everything about that decade that made me want to QUIT comics, which is NOT cool with me.

"Zeitgeist" itself is not an inherently good thing, if only because there are several eras of history, in various categories, that are themselves inherently BAD.

	Reading the wikipedia he just said he wanted Shatterstar (who I have no clue about in any way) to be asexual. It doesn't sound like he hates gays or anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I heard that Fabian Nicieza, who co-created him (and did more w/his character than Liefeld), was planning on having him develop a sexuality. So it's not like he was going to remain asexual forever. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I do recall hearing that, yeah. Wasn't there also some drama with Liefeld and drugs? I thought I heard that somewhere, though it's probably just rumor. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	"Bottom line: Liefeld lies to fellow creators and fans alike, tells terrible stories and produces equally terrible art, and is sitting on a mint of money." I have to object there: there's no way Liefeld's stories are as terrible as his art at its most terrible. (Reply to this) (Parent)
