Stop it! Don't dash the hopes of that one Iraqi who will one day be stable, with a less hectic everyday life.
I dont think this is what is going to destory Marvel. Its going to be that they will continue to use large giant story archs that span over multiple books to bring in $$$. In my opinon, Marvel needs to take a break from those for a few years and focus more onthe characters in the titles themselves and develop them in their own storylines instead of using ones that require a bunch of superheroes fighting each other or a something so powerful they must band together and fight them.
Were you there pre-war? Do you have any frame of reference?LOL well dude i have actually been their, is not as bad as it used to be.
He thought about doing it one time. But to implement all the ideas he had he would have had to become Dr. Doom.
Just because you have the cure for cancer, doesn't mean a dumbass won't come up with a reason not to take it.
The answer to this topic is simply no.
People want to read about Spider-Man, Batman, and all the other classics. Current comics will continue to be successful just as the Bond movies continued to be successful despite the time inconsistencies.
Besides who actually goes back and reads the Spidey comics of the 60's? Honestly. Let alone goes back and reads them and then reads a modern one and goes: "HOLD ON! THESE DON'T SEEM TO MATCH UP!!"
You'd have to be brain dead.
Its simple. Writers write what they know and artist draw what they know. You got writers from the 70's,80's, and 90's,00's. Same with artist. So history is added by default. Explaining away why spiderman dressed like a hippie in issue 1 and now dresses like a normal person in 572 will bring up time.
But thats not really the issue is it. The issue is can these characters be aged and/or replaced. If Marvels readers were only the people who started with the comics, that would be fine. But a new reader isnt going to grasp a character the same way. Peter Parker is young so young people can enjoy his story. If spider-man was 50, do you honestly think a teenager is going to get him? Without a reset or re evaluation of the status quo, you make it harder for readers to relate(maybe even like) the original purpose of the characters. And what happens if marvel goes on for another 50 years?
By your logic, all the characters would be old and be replaced.
So really will your fear of the comic book world staying the same destroy your interest in comics? Even if you reboot or bring in a new player. Stories will be repeated and origins will get more complication.
