Why we hate Rob Liefeld

I'm not sure why so many of the online community are enraged as to why Mr. Rob Liefeld has a career in the comic book industry. I keep looking at some of his great creations like Cable and Deadpool. If he isn't a good artist/creator, why are these two characters so popular up till now? Cable represents the big-muscled, cybernetic,shoulder pad wearing, big gun guy that was so the rage in the 90s.

Deadpool meanwhile is a mixture of Spider-man's comical quips, and Deathstroke's multi-weaponed assassin. Add to that a healing factor that was added after he was disfigured horribly. (I may be wrong on that detail). Why the hate? For those early years, so much of those fans (who were young kids then), bought copies (variants with chrome designed covers, or alternate drawings, or sketches)of a single issue out of love of his work. (Or a misplaced idea of a money making investment). Unfortunately, the nineties (90's),was the time when bad girls, overly designed, manga-ish, unnecessary cross- hatched work and gimmick loaded covers was the in thing in those days. The only comics I tried out then that seem still cool for me was the Generation X cover by Chris Bachalo.

You can easily tell early on that one would sustain his works, and the other will be derided simply he was a bad choice that became popular. Why do most comic book fans hate Rob Liefeld? Because as an afterthought, they realized the mistake of liking his works in the first place. Their adolescent minds, filled with new ideas, but untrained eyes of what is really good, what is artfully done, over what was hot, and happening back in those days. It's a sad reminder to most fanboys that they were fooled by big biceps, high- concept, obvious character rip-offs, and women drawn as sluts in the heyday that was the 90s. Still, atleast Mr. Liefeld created Deadpool and Cable ... one of them is going to even have a solo movie... ( and media has fooled us again... ah fanboys, when will we ever learn).
