I'ma be real - the design of these characters could have worked. If - if - you weren't retarded. Imagine them drawn in Jamie Hewlett's style - the Gorillaz and Tank Girl guy. Or maybe a bit of Sam Keith - The Maxx guy. Stylized ugly.
The really dumb, weird outfits could benefit massively from a shakeup that thick shadow could afford them, and ugly mugs with weird proportions can really come alive with some beefy contours.
You'd want to embrace that they're all ugly and weird as shit, and shove them in an ugly and weird-as-shit universe. You'd want the future to look like a ragtag hand-me-down thrift shoppe universe. For example, Daw's retarded goggles - big, thick fucking straps on either side visible from outer-fucking-space, make those suckers look goofy as shit and give the lad gigantic fucking eyes when they're on. Poofy-ass coat, take those stupid fucking shoulderpads off, trailing down to the fat fuck's knees and flying out every time tubby took a jump and shook the earth on landing.
Instead, they blew about $150M dollars more than they needed on those stupidly-realistic, crisp animations and the hard-realism style, and it's fucking dead.
