I know young teenagers who are obsessed with shitty CG ninja movies and have no concept of the design process who could come up with better monsters than this (although they will probably this is awesome)

Let's face it. We're in an age where (commercial / pop) fantasy is designed in this way. In the '80s every miniature was 'muscular', in '90s was 'right', in '00s was 'realistic' and now is deformed and cartoon-like.
Maybe because the 'Nowadays Fantasy' is oriented to a young or ignorant public who wants to see pimped stuff with katanas and explosions if possible.
Videogames, movies, miniatures have a new (horrible) look & feel, because is cool in this way.

Fortunately there are so many miniatures producers who don't have a so 'pop mentality'.
