@NikeOtaku im all for detail and execution, but the problem with sb [freddys] is that its too thematic. too evident. too flashy in concept. its like youre wearing those kids slippers of the latest kid movie out. like uhh, dispicable me minions head slippers.
when sb first released, they did "inspired" shoes, and some concepts still hold true to that. heres a good example, imo on what im talking about. i hate hunters, but i think its done well in overall concept and execution. you know what theyre getting at, but there isnt deer antlers hanging off of them, or shot gun shells glued to the tongue. its inspired of, not in your face.
perhaps the conceptual idea becomes too cartoony when they specifically pick a single item or character to chase after. maybe if they had done a thriller movie inspired shoe rather than freddy, or jason, it wouldnt be so corny.
i think of movies in the same vein, you can have iconic movie like BATMAN, all in your face, or it can be artistically derived as in dark knight. the eluding concept of dark knight is more cloaked in inspiration that really drives some artistic value. i guess its just semantics but a GOAT for me isnt something that is just constructed well in detail, but has an artist value to its concept. diff strokes for diff folks.
