T‐nex, an impressive analysis, and I agree and disagree with various things. There are just a couple of things that confuse me.

I don't have any evidence, but as far as I understand, Sherry was suposed to keep things in line and stop things when they go too far(too creepy or whatever)... But if I misunderstood that, then I take that back.

I hated the cartooniness of Munch’s Oddysee too, but what evidence do you have to blame it on Sherry?
How has Lorne gone back on environmentalism and anti‐materialism?

Cos he turned all money hungry himself, instead of staying true to what his original plans were. There is still some, but it's just not the same. This is just an opinion though.

As for the production designers, I’m not arguing against your opinion, but as we’ve seen in the Abe film artwork, Raymond has been using designs created by Steven Olds, who remains my favourite of the production designers. Farzad is also brilliant, but he also designed Fuzzles which are my least favourite character design. Silvio Aebischer I consider the worst character designer, having come up with Clakkerz and various other SW races (which are generally unimpressive. I know he was personally upset by the uproar the Forums had against his characters, and it was a hysterical over‐reaction, but not without reason). On the other hand, Silvio has designed Oddworld’s most characteristic and beautiful machinery, while Raymond’s artwork is rich and inspiring, perfectly suited to Oddworld.

They all created some fairly nice designs and stuff, but overall they all kind of... suck compared to Farzad. But that's only when we speak of Oddworld. They are all good artists, and have great techniques. But only Farzad and Olds has so far managed to impress me with art made for oddworld.
I agree on the comment about Silvio though... I didn't like him either.
Apparently I forgot about the fuzzles. I don't get it... How does creatures with eyes popping out fit in Oddworld in any way?? :-/ That concept with cutesy creature, who have eyes too big for their head just annoys me to no end.
