Look we all know that he could only improve Southern Cross. And yes, he did mangle the other movies, but he did get them out there. He also helped adapt Naruto and Bleach! Go figure.

Oh course, I also wrote the greatest yaoi fanfic ever written starring Carl Macek. Which is the only thing Eric knows about the guy.

Nah I'm not saying you should love or hate him! Only the man did a lot of work. Was it the best work? Oh dear lord, no. Important work? Totally.

He also helped convince Nickelodeon to take on Ren and Stimpy. Again in hindsight, maybe not the best work... but probably important.
