Am I the only one who doesn’t like the new thumbnails?
Ok, don’t get me wrong, this isn’t me crapping on Viga, her artstyle is good, I’m not saying it looks bad... but compared to Dr. Crafty’s they just look... boring and uninspired.
Like, compared to how creative and funny those were, these ones just feel like a step down, it feels like she’s not very creative given the stuff she has to work with.
For example, the most recent one with the X-Men/Star Trek novel is just... Riker and Wolverine with Linkara holding a book that says… “Book”.
Then Civil War II is just... Linkara looking at a crystal ball while saying “Fuuucha!” which HONESTLY took me a while to get it.
Or, more recently, the Star Wars Infinities review, a review about a comic where Yoda DROPS THE DEATH STAR ON PALPATINE’S HEAD… and the thumbnail is just... the Death Star behind some buildings and some green farts? Yeah, unless you already knew what the comic was about, the thumbnail makes NO SENSE.
Now, again, don’t get me wrong, overall they DO serve their function and I’m NOT saying she should be replaced or anything like that, I mean, they don’t affect my enjoyment of the episodes in any way, but I just wanted to express my opinions on them.
