Because I do.
Don't get me wrong here, this is a very well done manip. That said, I'm glad we're not getting anything like this. Looks like The Creature From The Black Lagoon got into Sly Stallone's steroid cabinet.
Hell, I'd give it a 10. Why not? Kicks ass, IMO.
That is an amazing job, but like you, I can now see why they changed the design. After looking at different artists conceptions, I prefer Abomination with small ears versus giant bat wings. That said, I have no problem with him being earless and I'm glad to find out he's actually green (Louis said that fire is being reflected off his skin in the trailer).
