As if he wasnt influential enough, his view on art comparing the city and country and vertical and horizontal just opened my mind differently. Fucking love this man
Among the best Frank Miller videos I've seen. Substantive stuff from the artist that's well presented, even down to the background for the interview. Well done.
I know alot of ppl love Frank for his Batman stuff but i was always a bigger fan of what he did on Daredevil. He made that charecter into something cool and unique at the time. Its why im such a massive fan of Daredevil today. As a kid, i was a Spider Man fan but as ive aged ive gained so much more love and appreciation for Daredevil.
FM brought me back into comics through DD. I was bored with comics...Heavy Metal magazine kept me in the field. I bought DD death of Elektra. Ronin..Blew my mind. That changed comics. Then DK. FM changed comics of that time.
This is the grand Master of illustrative art. Even Jack Kirby, Neal Adam's didn't expect or predict such a character to evolve not only the comics medium but the way humans have evolved into expecting what they want to see. His imaginative influence has effected some kind of brain neuron even in the sub species trying to lend their hand at influencing the art world. Nobody has done it better or even as close. This man practically reinvented the wheel and turned it into another household name. Long live Frank Miller !!!!!!🎄❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😜🎄👌
DC made John Constantine into a superhero in the New 52. John Constantine is supposed to an anti-hero, not a force of good. This doesn't work, and It just feels wrong. Alan Moore would hate it. I'm glad the DC Black Label imprint got the character back to his supernatural and anti-hero roots. How Alan Moore made this. John Constantine rightfully belongs to Alan Moore.
@@broken1394 There's not much incentive to. Before, the western comic book industry was saturated with mediocre and childish capeshit. And then it gets even "better", as the comic book industry transforms itself into a vile, decaying platform of "woke".
I think that Frank Miller's recent art mirrors his physical and mental decay. When he was young and healthy his work was vibrant, powerful and bold. Older and frail Frank Miller's is a painful attempt at social criticism and at using the reader as punching bag, and even though it might have its audience, is a far cry from his heydays qualitywise. (I do believe that most comics artists draw versions of themselves - just look at the pictures of the most famous comics artists and see it for yourself). I simply love Frank Miller's work on Daredevil, Ronin, Batman, 300 and Sin City. And there's his contributions with Simon Beasley (Batman vs Lobo) and Todd Mcfarlane (Batman and Spawn) which were simply great.
I for one appreciate your observation, mate. In the end, criticism is almost entirely based on one's subjective experience. So different people are bound to have vastly different views on things that appear to be objectively good/bad.
About "the most of the comic artist draw versions of themselves" part, I thought I was the only one who noticed it. Reminds me of Jack Kirby's art, most male characters looks like him especially Ben Grimm, The Thing
@SEZWAH Music fair point. Should've known that would come out insensitive. Okay let me rephrase, Miller hasn't been the same since Sin City and 300. And the fact in DK II, his understanding of drawing went out the window as well as storytelling
@SEZWAH Music Well yeah, but he went into a darker nastier approach to the world and it affected his quality in telling a good story. Though we can't say 9/11 is where it started, actually it was his divorce with Lynn Varley was one of the contributing factors
Maybe not. Some people, especially creative types, have some interesting voices. One guy commented on an old Todd McFarlane video that he sounded drunk...
His writing as of late has become super cringe. Hope he is able to come around and write for more than the woke/feminist/SJWs, who actually represent a quite small, yet quite vocal, percentage of the overall population.
@@mikemars2112 Maybe, but more likely, maybe not. Now that the pendulum has begun to swing back toward the side of common sense and decency, with fewer and fewer normal people taking SJWs seriously, watch, he will revert back to the way the wind is blowing.
@@hellogoodbye4061I never saw Frank as Left leaning so if he's doing that (I haven't been following modern comics so I honestly don't know) then he's doing it to appease the modern woke SJW's. Because Franks best stuff is very much anti woke.
