As we all know, Loeb loves caricatures and his characterizations suck. Maybe if he was making a parody of the Ultimates in MAD Magazine then I wouldn't find it bad.
This, I think, is really quite astute - as soon as you said MAD Magazine parody, I thought, that is EXACTLY how Loeb writes Ultimates (sometimes crossed with an 11-year old's impression of pornography)
Creating the awful is easy (see Ultimate line, in various proportions, last 2-3 years)
Carefully, economically describing the awful is a trickier, and important task - I appreciate your quote here.
