>>92347496weak as hell criticism DESU senpai. yes, ennis built his career on cynical anti-heroes and gritty military hyperbolic heroes, but the fact is that he distinguishes himself by his ability to portray these characters with depth and nuance. ref. his seminal runs on hellblazer and punisher especially - practically everyone who writes those characters takes cues from ennis' depiction, and for good reason. any hack can write a badass in a longcoat who doesn't afraid of anything, but ennis' great strength is that he infuses those characters with humanity and complexity by highlighting their flaws and weaknesses.
that's not even to mention his aptitude for creating original characters which run the gamut from grounded to hilarious, many of which intentionally subvert those very tropes you're complaining about. wee hughie, as an example, is an intentional break from the hard-boiled atmosphere in the boys, and it's for that reason that he's the central protagonist.
i could go on, but the short version is that you're a dull cunt with shit taste, and i invite you to go piss up a rope.
