I've seen some reviews of The Maxx on YouTube. It falls into two kind of review tracks. Going into the story, explaining the premise/characters/themes and then surface level reviews, "I don't like it, its weird." In fairness, The Fandom Grift would hate the Maxx as well. Trauma, mental health, spirit animals, mention of feminism? The lead female, Julie, by god, she doesn't have a 10 out of 10 body, some belly fat. They'd lose their shit.
Maxx's biggest fault, it was a comic too good for a style over substance (at the time) Image comics. To get its critical due, it needed another publishing logo. It was along side laughable comics like Youngblood, snoozers like Cyberforce, etc.
I seem to recall people saying Zack would lean into Spawn's military background if he had control of the IP, some time ago in this thread, hell, that might of made the book better than Todd using him as a stand-in to tell us how much he loved his wife, Wanda, over and over and over again. You shouldn't do the same beat more than 3 times without moving on. People get bored, Todd, you fucking hack.
There's alot of IP that simply came out before grifting on YouTube, oh excuse me, "fighting the culture war" one super chat at a time became a thing. Great content that is beloved and no one has problems with. No one cared that Kim Possible was a kids program for girls or that she the type A personality, Ron the type B. If it was made today, these idiots would rip it apart. Oh they wouldn't you claim, yet they made zillions on Snow White, so yes, they would.
Plenty of things just had the good fortune to come out before The Last Jedi, the starting point for all this shit.
