Jack's art style looks like something a gifted 5 year old would come up with. The blocky shapes do NOT lend themselves well to action scenes. They come across as stiff and impactful. It doesn't help that Genndy insists on using cheap stock sounds that take you out of the scene.
As far as the story goes, Genndy is a hack. He can barely remember the storyline of the first 4 seasons. He relies on over used tropes and digital scenery to make up for the puddle deep plot.

I seriously hope this is bait.

It's likely 85% bait, 15% genuine.

Jack's art style is just a contemporary take on the old "Cartoon modern" style. I think it has some charm to it.

The missing vowel is unusual, so it's not just you. AFAIK the usual name is spelled with an 'a' though.

Genndy is a hack that can barely remember his own show's storyline. He relies on tropes and scenery to cover for the bad plot and flintstones tier animation.
I can't fathom why samurai jack fans parade jack around as some kind of mature, deep masterpiece. Even as a kid I knew the show was shallow.
Don't get me wrong I liked the show in the same way I liked dexters lab, it was a fun time waster for a kid. As soon as I discovered anime it became apparent how shallow jack was. If you compare it to any serious anime you'll know what I mean. The fight scenes were ruined by the stiff animation and serious moments were ruined by cheap stock sounds and obnoxious voice acting.
The revival has taken on a more serious tone, but still suffers from the same problems. The animation is cheap and riddled with errors, the sound effects are stock and the writing is subpar. Compare Jack to berserk, it's clear that Jack is nowhere near that quality.
How anyone could be sad about episode 4 being delayed is beyond me, I don't understand how anyone could put this show on a pedestal. I guess that speaks more about the dry spell of good cartoons in the west than it does them though.

Remember: Jack never killed them.

Yeah, this. Craig Kellman, who helped design the look for the show, was heavily inspired by Toot Whistle Plunk and Boom, and they mixed that style together with a film Genndy really liked as a child called The Little Prince vs the Eight Headed Dragon

This copypasta works even better than it did before now that we've seen what episode 4 turned into.
That's a quality copypasta you've got there.
