Either way, it ends up being a very specific look that is not good. I think this is a big part of why they just avoid commenting on the stuff directly. Designers, artists, etc working with the official IP owner clearly follow and even buy some of it, or at least don't care enough to distinguish (it's silly how many times official art has used 3P stuff as a reference/basis). Which is fine. But it'd be unwise to be on record about it because either the company will look dumb it they will (and when they make the company look dumb they don't exactly look smart either). Especially in this era of The Internet Has The Receipts, which has made it tricky and anxiety-inducing at times to function in general.
I do remember my own knee-jerk reaction of disappointment in Archer for showing up with this group (and I think it was earlier, around the first Kickstarter; BMOG was roped in to leech off its popularity around the bajillion stretch goals phase I think). But over time it was less "you flip-flopped" and more "you were willing to look dumb for THIS?".
Anyway, more on track: that Scarescream is the best pairing of the 4 we've seen so far. I'm not sure I like the execution, as it feels too basic Hero Mashers rather than adapting one into armor.
