Yes, the average Joe or Mary on the street is going to look at 5E and think two things: gee wilickers, that's a lot of math, and wow, that art is pretty edgy.
I'll stand by that: it's what most if the already pretty nerdy people in my ambit think, and it is the aesthetic WotC is clearly courting.
This, plus the 4 yr-olds example above, just sounds ridonk to me, no offense intended. Completely unquantifiable statements; most people are going to think 5e art is pretty edgy? I don't even know where to begin with that one...
