Yeah, it misses the mark because everything looks ... equally ugly? The characters need to look differently ugly depending upon who they are (villain, ally, protagonist, etc.), but they all kind of look the same.

If he's going to do this kind of style, he needs to go watch Samurai Jack over and over until he is channelling Genndy Tartakovsky who knows how to do this kind of minimalist, angular style properly.
