The Super Hornet is ugly. Hard to put into words why

The Super hornet looks awesome to me. It is just a matter of opinion.

maybe because it looks bloated? The nose is fat in relation to the canopy and the wings are long and straight

It's not ugly, it just looks ungainly.

It's an enlarged Charlie Hornet, which was an enlarged YF-17. The original airframe was tight and lithe, but more shit keeps getting attached to it.

I think it's alright looking

The F looks better than the E. I think the cockpit looks too small for its body on the E, like a plane version of Hasan Piker.

I also think the trapezoid intakes don't jive with the rest of its very curvy and pre-stealth design.

It is ugly in comparison to other fighters but not objectively unappealing.

I'll assume this isn't bait and is actually genuine retardation or ignorance.

Those are RATs or ADGs, they rotate in the wind and generate electricity to run the pod because otherwise it would be too much of a power drain on the aircraft's electrical systems.

There are cute pop-out ones like picrel also, so that the aircraft can still generate electricity after engine failure.

I, too, dislike the super hornet. Regular hornet is fine. I just don't like the big one. Don't know why.

the only post-C/D Hornet derivative I can give a pass to is EA-18G, and that's due to its specialized role and burly outfit

The Hornet is workmanly. You look at it and you know it's a dependable and rugged plane that will get its job done with little fuss. Being a naval aircraft means it's bones are tough and its skin very thick. Two engines means it will get the pilot home.
