Poor Todd Mcfarlane. During the 90s he was on top of the world, everyone loved his comics, his toys, his HBO cartoon and his movie...ok maybe not the movie, but the dude was on a roll and then poof. He's seen as a joke by everyone in and outside the comic book industry more so than Frank Miller and that dudes a crazy, sexist, racist.
Well, it didnt help when Mcfarlane was starting to piss off people he worked and partnered with. He pissed off Neil Gaiman and tried to steal credit for a bunch of the characters he created for Spawn. Then there was the whole thing about him trying to fuck over Jack Kirby and his family while the man was on his death bed by trying to buy all the rights to a bunch of stuff the man did and not give them any money (he had a change of heart once like 90% of the comic industry told Mcfarlane they wouldn't work with him or cut all business ties with him)
Then the main thing that made him a total joke was the whole "Miracle Man" debacle. I mean you have to be a total asshole when Alan Moore and Gaiman not only willing sold their shares of the character to Marvel but in Gaiman's case agreed to work with the company on a multi book deal "just to make sure McFarlane got nothing from the bullshit deal he was conned into taking!"
I was just sitting here grumbling as he kept passing the apples and running right into a ghost or what not. He would have gotten that apple thing unlocked.
