Cheesy? Gosh, did he buy a thesaurus in order to look up that word? Never heard that before. Cheesy is the default term people use when they don't have the vocabulary to engage in constructive criticism.

He's making a lot of assumptions about our host. But his vocal style is one of those that implies "What I am saying is factual and you must not question it!"

I respect that YouTube guy for having the ability to change into a fly, travel back in time and witness Mr Byrne's disputes with editorial. He's spouting things way out of context, implying it's factual and making out that our host had a dispute with EVERY editor 12+ issues in - which affected the quality of his work.

This is the problem with the internet: no checking of facts, no context, no "This is my opinion..." The internet really is a double-edged sword at times.

I hate when Millenials use the word "cheesy" I tune them out afterwords. That is their default word for describing anything done in the 20th century.

It seems to be a variation on "My friend's cousin's roommate's uncle walked the dog for a security guard at DC and I will tell you this..."

And when was this time that Marvel wasn't about promoting social justice and human progress, exactly?

If he wants to make claims like that, he should back it up with actual evidence, showing how backgrounds disappeared on all your runs... Except this didn't happen, so he can't. Your backgrounds have more often than not been outstanding. He also doesn't cotton on to the fact that there was a period where the backgrounds suffered as a function of the process of leaving space for the letterers, which is presumably one of the reasons you began doing your own lettering.

And then, of course, the claim that you just stopped caring in the mid-90s, that you were just 'phoning it in'. The laziest, most subjective criticism to hand. There quite a few compliments in the video, but they are all more than a little backhanded.
