Really? You didn't like any of them? Heh, you are the first person that I know of to say such things.
Can you please explain why? I would like to hear your thoughts on this matter.

For the first question, I just find him to be overly edgy and pretentious. Whenever I see him in Interviews, it is just overbearing how he discusses his projects and how he has to get them made while wagging his arms around like a loose puppet. Also, the goth look does not help at all, feels like he hasn't come out of his phase yet.
Now for the second, I did not like how Dirty Laundry was executed at all. It was way too edgy and outlandish and the cinematography and line delivery from both The Punisher and the Wheelchair Guy(played by the excellent Ronnie Ron Perlman) was just meandering and very fake. It just a bland knockoff of the Dark Knight. There is also the Power Ranger fanmade film that was just godawful. There was very little creativity there and it is just the type of film that only relies heavily on its edgy and gritty tone but nothing else.
There is also that show he made that discuss pitches for the bootleg multiverse and every one of them sounds awful. It just sounds that they smoked a lot of weed and started spitballing ideas.
Like this one:
If this is how pitches work that reinvents franchises in Hollywood, it would honestly explain the amount of crap that releases to theatres.
God forbid they actually use thier talent to create something original and with substance.
Though I am eternally grateful for The Netflix Castlevania, which would not be made if it wasn't for our buddy Adi Shankar.

Everything you said is pretty much understandable except for what you said on Dirty Laundry.
Like... Have you read the original comicbooks? Do you have any experience with the source material? The Punisher has ALWAYS been an edgy character.
Also, the only way Dirty Laundry resembles The Dark Knight trilogy is the soundtrack, and that's it.
P.S Don't ask me why I am answering your post a month later, because I don't know.
Huh, I guess this is what happened to Geralt after the events of Soul Calibur VI.
Here's to another 25 years of demon slaying!
Rip and tear, until it's done....
EDIT: in more DOOM related news, a new expansion for the new game was announced 25 years after the original release.
NieR: Automata: Game of the YoRHa Edition Arriving to PS4 and PC in February 2019
A new Devil May Cry 5 trailer was released. Aside from showing a little more footage and whatnot, this one also announced a collaboration with HYDE, a profilic singer and lead vocalist of L’Arc~en~Ciel.
Not the first time such collaboration happened, as L’Arc~en~Ciel also made the Drink It Down theme song for Devil May Cry 4 in 2008, and the Don’t be Afraid theme song for Resident Evil VR in 2016.
